Reel Rush 2

Reel Rush 2 is NetEnt's sequel to the original Reel Rush slot. Building upon a game that has been incredibly popular with players is always going to be a challenge, but NetEnt have repeatedly shown that they are up to it. Reel Rush 2 may look like a usual fruit-themed slot, but the special features on offer help set it apart. The uncommon 5x5 reel structure is also immediately eye-catching, as are the variety of bright symbols across the grid, which can land across any of the game’s paylines.

When it comes to special features, there are random ones that can modify the base game, in addition to respins, free spins, and super free spins.

There are eight different modifiers up for grabs. These can open up the size of the reel grid, award respins on losing spins, add wilds to the reels, add multipliers of up to x20 at random, upgrade the value of symbols, add super tokens, add free spins, and boost the progressive multiplier. The last two of these affect the Free Spins bonus round.

You can unlock Free Spins by collecting six stars in the meter to the right of the reels. This is done by landing consecutive wins from respins. There are also super free spins up for grabs if you have enough super tokens.

When you get a winning combination, re-spins will be triggered. Between one and five respins will be awarded, with each offering an increased number of ways to win, up to 1,875.

Reel Rush 2 was launched in 2019 by NetEnt. The first version of this game, Reel Rush, dates back to 2013. The time between the two was ample for NetEnt to add a number of new features and increased win potential. The fruit theme from the original is still present, but the graphics are updated and the various modifiers are a fantastic addition.

NetEnt has indulged in creating other fruit-themed slots, such as Fruit Shop, which also has a Megaways sequel. If you’re looking for something a little different from this provider though, take a look at the popular western-themed Dead or Alive slot.

If you are a fan of games with classic themes, you might be interested in the likes of the stripped back Fire Joker from Play’n GO, while Big Time Gaming’s Opal Fruits slot takes up the fruit theme.

As with most slots, you need to make winning combinations of symbols to win. Matching three fruity symbols from left to right will award a payout. In order of value, you can form winning combinations of strawberries, pineapples, lemons, melons, grapes and plums. There are also five candy symbols, with the red ones paying the most. You could win up to 5,000x from a single spin.

Reel Rush 2 is a simple slot to play. Before you spin the reels, you must establish the value of each coin and the bet level to form your total wager for each spin. The betting range is wide, ranging from £0.20 to £40, which is determined by altering the two figures.
