Slot Overview

Roadquake is a Peter & Sons release that’s designed around a high-variance maths model and a 6×5 layout, with scatter pays. Set in a post-apocalyptic wasteland, you’ll find persistent multiplier hotspots, weapon-style modifiers, free spins and a 20,000x max win, so on paper, it looks pretty good; does it stand up to Demoslot’s testing, though? Let’s find out.

Gameplay & Bonus Features

Roadquake is played on a 6×5 grid with a scatter pays mechanic. Wins are formed by landing 8 or more matching symbols anywhere on the reels. The RTP is set at 96% on the nose, and you can bet between €0.10 and €50 per spin.

The game’s core mechanic is the Multiplier Hotspot system, and whenever a winning position clears during a cascade, that position becomes a hotspot. If another win lands there later inside the same spin, the multiplier doubles, and this can reach up to as high as 1,024x.

You’ll also find three different modifier types: Minigun, Bomb and Rocket, and each comes in a standard and Hyper form. Miniguns transform symbols, Bombs upgrade hotspot values in an area, and Rockets clear rows or columns while also improving multipliers in their path.

The free spins bonus is triggered by landing 4+ scatters in view, with more scatters offering more powerful variations of the bonus. During all free spin rounds, hotspots remain locked in place and don’t reset between spins. The higher versions also remove low-value symbols from the reels, too.

Bonus Buy

Roadquake includes a couple of optional side bets: you can toggle the Golden Bet on to improve your chances of landing the free spins bonus naturally, and you can also use three bonus buys to purchase various free spins rounds directly.

Theme & Design

Roadquake does away with fantasy or mythology-based visuals and instead plunges you into a scorched, scrap metal future packed with rusty engines, desert carnage, and bleak and uninhabitable landscapes. From what we can see, Peter & Sons has put a lot of time and effort into developing this game, and it all looks solid.

It looks polished but still has a kind of rough-edged comic book style that does a really nice job of complementing the theme, we feel. Yes, it’s quite loud, and the sound effects are a little in your face, but that’s the point. If you’re used to playing other Peter & Sons titles like Artifacts and Barbarossa Dragon Empire, you’ll instantly recognise the high-quality visuals on display here.

Pros

  • Massive maximum win potential of 20,000x
  • Multiplier Hotspot feature ensures decent win potential in the base game
  • Modifier symbols help to give the game “extra depth”, if you like

Cons

  • There’s so much going on, it can, at times, be hard to follow
  • It’s a high variance game, so expect lots of dead spins
  • Landing the super bonus naturally is very, very difficult

Final Thoughts

Roadquake is a good example of a slot that earns its stripes, if you like, through its mechanics, rather than being an entirely new concept or theme. Yes, the post-apocalyptic theme is done well enough, but for us it's the Hotspot system, the persistent bonus mechanics, and the modifier-filled cascades that make the game really enjoyable to play. It's the combination of all these things coming together and working with one another that makes the game a solid release in our opinion.

Yes, Roadquake is undeniably high variance, but that's to be expected from a game that offers a max win potential of 20,000x. Yes, the base game can have its dead periods; however, if you persevere and manage to start building hotspots with the special symbols aligning, then you can see some massive wins. We can actually see how it's possible to get close to the 20,000x max win.

If you enjoy scatter pays slots with lots of mechanics, fast-paced gameplay, and a maximum win potential of 20,000x, Roadquake is a slot you’ll want to check out for yourself.
