Reel Strike

Reel Strike Slot Review

Microgaming introduces the Reel Strike video slot via a short animation clip. See the sea, hear the seagulls and watch the fishing boat race by. Suddenly you hear the sound of a fishing reel being pulled by a big catch (hopefully hinting at your upcoming win of a big catch by the slots reels). On the Reel Strike slot, next you'll see a large swordfish jumping out of the water preparing you for the action that waits. Before you even start playing the game, you can hear the calm, gentle sound of the sea rocking backwards and forwards in the background, (perhaps not ideal for those who suffer with sea-sickness!).

The reel animation is extremely fast, and as the reels stop, they make a sound similar to a wet-fish flapping on the ground when it does not produce a special icon. Keep in mind the three main Reel Strike slots symbols of the wild (which will drop you the top award), the scatter (which will win you multiples of the total bet) and the bonus (which will send you to the bonus round).

The beautiful illustrations accompanied with the gentle fitting sounds make Reel Strike an enjoyable treat of a slot even before you consider the game itself. With the many prizes on offer and the many ways to win them, Reel Strike is a slots machine of pure quality that any enthusiast would enjoy.

Wild Symbol

The wild reel is the symbol that will change into all the other icons (except scatter but definitely bonus!) to help assist in the production of winning combinations after seemingly empty spins. Manage to match five of the reels on an active payline to drop the aforementioned top award.

Scatter Symbol

The scatter symbol of the stunningly produced jumping swordfish at sunset can win you multiples of your total bet. Reveal 3, 4 or 5 across the reels after a spin to multiply your full stakes by 2, 10 or 50 respectively.

Free Spins

To gain the free spins, you have to access the bonus round by triggering five of the bonus symbols across an active payline. The results of the bonus game determine how many free spins and multipliers you shall receive. During these free spins you play to a backdrop of magical music similar to the water it is themed upon. Watching your balance rise and the reels free-spinning to this music is truly magical!

Bonus Round

The bonus round is much similar to other Microgaming slots such as Jungle Jim. You have at a bird's-eye view to see six different types of fishing boat. Instead of doing what we all know birds like to do from a high angle, you choose one boat that will determine the number of free spins you get. You then have a second screen with the same boats to choose another one that shall represent the multiplier you have with your free spins. Once you have made your selections your prizes are revealed and you can start enjoying the Reel Strike slots prizes for free.
