Street Racer (Pragmatic Play) slot review

Street Racer slot (Pragmatic Play) – Pick your favourite driver and start racing!

Will you make it to the finish line?

Street Racer is a stunning slot with car racing as the central theme. We already welcomed Rally 4 Riches (Play’n GO) one month ago, and this one more than appreciated.

Netent’s excellent Drive Multiplier Mayhem slot is already four years old, so it was about time.

The aim is (as with all other street races) to be the first to cross the finish line. Also, in this slot, you need to qualify before you race. But once you’re qualified, it’s on your marks, get set, GO!

And what about the win potential?

With Street Racer, your max win is 2,000x the bet

Nowadays, this max win sounds a bit modest. But if you get the 2,000x win, you won’t be complaining, I guess!

Bet a fiver, and you could grab ten grand. Or a flat tire.

Street Racer slot – Gameplay and Features

Street Racer has 40 fixed paylines and 5 reels with 4 symbols per reel.

The 5 street racers (Vapor, Ignite, Bolt, Alpha and Firefly) are the high-paying symbols, and the low-paying symbols are the four card suits (spades, hearts, diamonds and clubs).

You recognize the wild symbol by a stopwatch.

The bonus symbols (free spins symbols) are the finish flags. These appear on reels 1, 3 and 5 only.

The main game plays straightforward. You have to spin combos of at least three identical symbols.

Fortunately, we have free spins, where the action starts.

How do you activate the Free spins? Spin 3 bonus symbols

To gain the free spins, you need a Free Spins symbol on reels 1, 3 and 5.

Now you pick your favourite driver, who will race on your behalf. You can choose one of the following 5 drivers:

• Vapor (Older man with brown cap): He is the best-paying symbol in the main game, and with him, you can get the highest win (2,000x the bet). The volatility is high (5 out of 5). He’s good for 8 free spins.
• Ignite (David Beckham look-alike): If you pick him, you can win up to 1,500x. The volatility is 4.5 out of 5. Here you get 9 free spins.
• Bolt (Brunette with army green jacket): Somewhat confusing, as Bolt is, of course, the fastest man ever. However, with this lady, you limit the risks (top win of 1,000x the bet and a volatility of 4 out of 5). She is good for 10 free spins.
• Alpha (Young guy with headband): Max win is 750x. Volatility is 3.5 out of 5. The number of free spins is 11.
• Firefly (Dark blonde/red-haired young lady): Max win is 500x. Volatility is 3 out of 5. The number of free spins is 12. 

The Free spins: will you pass the finish line?

Now you’re (finally) going to race. As new symbols, you see nitro bottles. These are very important.

If you get 3 of them during the free spins, you’re qualified for the next lap. It yields an extra 3 free spins and a symbol upgrade (one of the drivers upgrades and transforms to your driver).

If you manage to collect another three nitro bottles, you get some free spins and another symbol upgrade again. It continues until you enter the last lap.

If all goes according to plan, you end up with one premium symbol (your chosen driver). Yes, that helps when you want to spin lucrative combos. And better, every winning combo you make with your selected driver is multiplied by as much as x5!

Payout percentage (RTP)

Street Racer’s RTP is an excellent 96.52%.

Street Racer slot – a medium to high variance (volatility)

The variance depends on which driver you pick when you enter the street race with the free spins. If you choose Vapor, the variance is high.

Wins between 1,000x to 2,000x the bets are possible in that case.

Pros and cons

Advantages:

• Always sensational when you see a street racing slot.
• You decide how much risk you want to take.
• Cool gameplay.

Disadvantages:

• The main game is a bit boring, only the free spins bring the game to life.
• For that reason, I would like to see a Buy a Bonus Feature (Buy Free Spins).
• Graphically it doesn’t look bad, but it seems a bit cloudy. At least you don’t have to buy plus glasses!

So, who’ll like the slot? And who won’t?

All players who like street or other races will welcome this slot. It’s something different!

You could argue that the X factor (the wow-feeling) isn’t there. The somewhat mediocre graphics are responsible for that.
