Retro Reels has a new addition to the series. Microgaming, the software behind the innovating slot machine series has launched Retro Reels: Extreme Heat recently and the series has been a hit amongst the players since it first hit the platform. The developer took all of the best things from slot machine past, and modernized it for todays’ players. Extreme Heat is a follow up of the Diamond Glitz Retro Reels slot that was also released in the recent past.
The slot games in this series are unique, and not just because of the style. These slot games take the old fashioned symbols like Bars, 7’s, Fruits and Dollar Signs and puts a twist on slot playing by letting the player wager a little extra for a re-spin. Each reel has the ability to re-spin at the end of every spin, and the wager required differs depending on the combinations on the reels.
Extreme Heat has all of the great things players love from the other Retro Reels slot games, but this time the reels are ignited. The symbols are encased in flames, and the winning possibilities are sizzling hot. The largest payout in the game will pay a 10,000 jackpot; for five Dollar Signs on active, enabled paylines. This jackpot alone is worth trying out Extreme Heat at your favourite Microgaming powered casino.
There are wilds, scatters and free games included in the excitement of this version of Retro Reels. The flaming Dollar Sign is not only the largest paying symbol in the game; it also helps create other winning payline combinations by substituting for other symbols on the reels. The scatter is the “Free Spin Bonus” symbol and two or more of these symbols will activate the scatter win feature. Scatters may appear on any position on the reels, not necessarily on an active payline.
Three or more “Free Game Bonus” symbols will trigger the free spin bonus feature. Once activated, the player will receive up to 20 free games, depending on the number of scatters that trigger the feature. All wins during the free games are doubled, and the games can be re-triggered by three scatters during any free spin. The largest payout during the feature is 440,000 coins!
Players should use caution when using the re-spin feature on this Retro Reels game. The potential benefit must outweigh the risk, and if not careful; players’ can quickly deplete their bankroll by using the feature without consideration of the risk. To use this feature, players must stake an additional wager, and the reel that was picked will be the only reel that spins. This feature is ideal for those “one off” combinations that are just missing a single symbol. The best logic to use when considering this feature is will the payout be worth the re-spin cost if successful. If it’s a large jackpot, it may be a risk worth taking; while smaller jackpots may not be worth the expense.
