Reel Desire Slot Review

The 1980s continue to capture the imagination, and Yggdrasil has tapped into this nostalgia with Reel Desire. This slot pays homage to the vibrant 80s disco era and draws inspiration from other popular slot games. It boasts a robust mathematical model, offering a substantial maximum win potential of 20,480x your stake, an average RTP of 96%, and medium to high volatility. With betting options ranging from 25p to £75 per spin, it caters to a wide array of players. The game is packed with exciting features, including two distinct bonus round options and the potential for significant wild wins in the base game.

Reel Desire Slot Features

Wild symbols, depicted as cassette tapes, can appear on all five reels and substitute for all regular pay symbols to help form winning combinations. Additionally, a Gold Disc Double Wild can land on reels 2, 3, and 4. These special wilds come with a 2x multiplier and grant a respin with the wild locked in place. If another Double Wild lands on the remaining middle reels, the process repeats, with multipliers stacking for potentially massive payouts.

The Reel Desire feature can also be triggered randomly during the base game, reminiscent of the Wild Desire feature in Microgaming's Immortal Romance. This feature can transform one to five reels entirely into wilds, leading to substantial base game wins.

Bonus Rounds and Free Spins

To trigger the bonus round, you need to land at least three ghetto blaster scatter symbols anywhere on the reels. Regardless of the number of scatters landed (4 or 5), you receive 10 free spins. Landing 4 scatters awards an initial scatter win of 50x your stake, while 5 scatters grant a 500x stake win.

Upon triggering the free spins, players can choose between two distinct bonus rounds:

• Sticky Wilds Free Spins: Any wild symbols that land during this round remain locked in place for the entire duration of the bonus.
• Multiplier Free Spins: A progressive multiplier increases by +1 with each win.

The free spins feature can be retriggered by landing at least three scatters on a single free spin, awarding an additional 10 spins with no upper limit on the number of retriggers.

Gameplay Experience

During our test session, the base game provided some moderate wild wins, though significant action was limited. The bonus round was triggered approximately 1 minute and 19 seconds into the highlights video. For those keen to see the bonus features in action, it is recommended to skip directly to that segment of the video.

Summary and Recommendations

Reel Desire by Yggdrasil takes clear inspiration from games like BTG's Danger High Voltage, evident in its 80s disco theme and bonus features. However, it stands as a unique offering with a higher single-spin potential of 20,480x and a more broadly appealing theme. The possibility of a full screen of wilds via the Reel Desire feature means the maximum win can be achieved unexpectedly. While the multiplying 2x Double Wilds are beneficial, triggering the main bonus round can sometimes prove challenging.

For those seeking larger payouts, the progressive multiplier option in the bonus round is the preferred choice. In our experience, the sticky wilds option was less rewarding, with few wilds landing during the session.

Pros

• 2x multiplying Double Wilds on the three middle reels.
• Randomly land between 1 and 5 wild reels.
• Optional progressive win multiplier or sticky wilds bonus round.
• Potential to win up to 20,480x your stake on a single spin.

Cons

• Triggering the bonus round can take a considerable amount of time.
