Mystery Reels (Red Tiger)

Mystery Reels Review

Mystery Reels is a fruit machine inspired video slot, with 2 interesting and fun features, one of which can really line your pockets if you’re lucky with the multipliers. This is a classic looking game, and also a highly volatile slot with a max win potential up to 5,000 times your stake.

It all plays out on 5 reels, 3 rows and 20 ways to win, and you can place bets between 20p to £20 per spin across all platforms and devices. Visually, the game looks exactly like a physical machine you can find plenty of in a brick and mortar casino, and the soundtrack is an 8-bit upbeat simple tune you might expect from an old school one-armed bandit.

The RTP of 96.24% is not all that impressive, and there is no progressive jackpot, after all, and the mystery symbol is the only base game bonus feature. Triggering the bonus wheel of fortune is therefore of importance here, as this is where you can land the massive payouts.

What symbols are there?

All the symbols are classic fruit machine symbols you’ve probably seen before, and the highest value symbol is the red lucky number 7 with a flaming motif. There are no card suit royal symbols of low value here, and even the lower value fruit symbols have a decent payout. You will need to land 3 to 5 matching symbols on a payline to win, and here we present you with the paytable for Mystery Reels slot:

• Red 7 - Pays 900x for 5 on a payline
• Bell - Pays 540x for 5 on a payline
• Watermelon - Pays 360x for 5 on a payline
• Grapes - Pays 310x for 5 on a payline
• Plum - Pays 180x for 5 on a payline
• Orange - Pays 144x for 5 on a payline
• Lemon - Pays 90x for 5 on a payline
• Cherries - Pays 54x for 5 on a payline

What are the bonus features?

Fruit machines are not known for sporting too many bonus features, but technically, this is a 5 reel video slot, and it does come with some interesting features we shall take a look at here.

There is an apple symbol that can land anywhere, and this is the game’s Mystery symbol. It can turn into any other symbol, including the bonus symbol. You will see a number that tells you how many identical symbols will be revealed from this apple, and these will spread out to cover the adjacent symbols surrounding the apple.

If you land at least 3 bonus symbols you will trigger the bonus wheel feature. You will be taken up above the regular reels, and here you’ll see a wheel of fortune with a spin button in the middle. How many bonus symbols you land determine how many spins you get, and you get 1 spin on the bonus wheel for each bonus symbol you land. You can win the following prizes on this wheel of fortune:

• There are multiplier values from 2x to 10x you can collect here, and if you get more than 1 value they combine.
• The Double All feature will simply double the already collected multipliers, and also your additional prizes and/or additional wheel spins.
• Additional Wheel Spins gives you up to 3 extra spins on the wheel of fortune, and thus increasing your chances of winning big.
• Additional to All will boost your bonus wheel prizes by a factor of 5.
• Mystery symbol (apple with a question mark in the middle) can give you any of the prizes on the wheel of fortune.

Free spins in Mystery Reels

You will not find any free spins feature on Mystery Reels slot, and we know that this might disappoint some players. The bonus wheel of fortune feature might be seen as a kind of free spins feature, however, so we don’t feel really miss the traditional free spins feature that much on this particular game.

What is the jackpot (max win)?

There is no progressive jackpot to be won here, and no fixed or local jackpot either. The max win on Mystery Reels depends on how lucky you are with the bonus wheel multiplier collection, but you can win up to 5,000 times your stake at best. This is a solid potential, even for a highly volatile game, and you can pocket up to £100,000 if you play with the highest possible stake of £20.

SlotCatalog verdict

Any fan of fruit machines should be interested in what this slot has to offer with Mystery Reels slot. The game itself is quite simple, but the 2 bonus feature makes it stick out from most other similar games. The mystery symbol keeps the base game somewhat interesting, but you’ll be rooting for the bonus reel to trigger all the way. This is where the multipliers can pile up, and land you massive wins up to 5,000x your stake.
