Redroo Slot

Graphics

The Red Roo of the game’s title doesn’t look too pleased to see us, but he takes the spot as the game’s top-paying symbol and pays out 250 coins for a five-of-a-kind win so he can be as grumpy as he likes. He is backed up by a bodacious Surfer and Bikini Babe as well as a Sheepdog and pink Cockatoo.

Rather more standard 9s through aces make up our lower-paying game symbols and, as all game symbols can appear stacked, we enjoy plenty of possible win combos in the 1,024 payline system. Our action takes place in the outback - where else? - beneath a luscious purplish sky.

Game symbols animate in trademark Lightning Box fashion, throbbing and bobbing their excitable ways to announce our wins. Australia’s most famous landmark, Ayers Rock, takes a bow as the Wild Rock symbol, appearing on reels 2, 3 and 4 and substituting for all game symbols except Australia Scatters.

Gameplay

As a fully fledged member of the NYX Gaming Group, Redroo features the trademark dynamic coin bet slider in the settings tab, allowing us to see the true relationship between coins to total bet that is absent in the main game’s betting functions.

But if we are to leave the outback with a serious coin haul, we will be looking to find three Australia Scatters to launch the Free Games feature.

Now, the Wild symbols offer multipliers up to x3, but if we land concurrent Wilds they multiply each other. So landing a Wild on each reel of 2, 3 and 4 can leave us a win with a multiplier up to x27.

If such winning combos involve stacks of the moody Red Roo...well, it’s the stuff that dreams are made of. Furthermore, every two Scatters we land during the feature delivers an additional five free games, potentially prolonging our sunny adventure long past dusk.

Verdict

Lightning Box has a slots catalogue that boasts a variety of vibrant animal slots, including Panda Pow, Silver Lion and Dolphin Gold Stellar Jackpots, to name a few.

Redroo fits in perfectly, delivering an immersive experience of the studio’s home country that will live long in the memory. And, should we trigger and retrigger the Free Games to their full potential, landing multiplying Wilds along the way, we could very well head off down under to celebrate.
