Reef Raider Demo (Netent) Slot Demo & Review

Game Overview

Now, I’ve never been one who fancies myself as a deep-sea diver, but I could be convinced to give it a try if there were a promise of some sparkling jewels and gems to be found, or a bit of lost treasure. So, needless to say, when I came across the Reef Raider slot from NetEnt, I was interested in seeing what the developer had in store for me. As for a quick run through the most basic stats, Reed Raider is a 7-reel cluster pays slot with an RTP of 96.10% and a max win of 8,500x the bet.

There are several special features you’ll encounter in the gameplay, starting with the anchor drop, which removes random low-paying symbols from the grid. Random wilds can come into effect at any time, and a cannon blast feature and a mystery chest feature are available. Multipliers are also active in the game, and the avalanche mechanic comes into effect on every winning spin, removing winning symbols from the reels. To top it all off, NetEnt has also included a free spins bonus round, where you have the best chance of unlocking the game’s win potential.

With a net full of features and modifiers to explore, our best advice is to experience the game first-hand, which, thanks to our free Reef Raider demo slot, you can do here on our website.

Underwater adventures are commonplace in online slots, and along with today’s game, Reef Raider, there are some fantastic titles for you to play. If you’d like to try out some of our recommendations when you’re finished with our review, I’d suggest Push Gaming’s Razor Shark and its sequel Razor Returns, and for even more fun and expanding wild symbols, be sure to take a look at Pragmatic Play’s Sky Bounty, too.

Moving on, it’s over to the pays section next, and at the top of the paytable, you’ll find the Red Gem worth 150x the bet for winning clusters of 25 or more. Next is the Pink Gem valued at 50x, with Orange and Green Gems completing the premium pays with returns of 30x and 25x, respectively. Dropping to the lower pays, we have the Pink Shell awarding 22.5x, the Blue Shell at 20x, and finally, the Yellow and Green Shells paying 17.5x and 15x if 25+ symbols are part of a winning connection.

To conclude this section, we have the betting options on Reef Raider. Players can choose to spin for a minimum of €0.20 up to a maximum of €100.

Reef Raider is played on a 7×7 grid operating on the cluster pays engine. Players will need to land 5 or more matching symbols adjacent anywhere within the playfield for a win to be awarded.

Avalanche Reels

Winning combinations trigger the avalanche reels feature. More commonly known as cascading reels, this feature removes all winning symbols from the reels and replaces them with new ones for extra chances to win.

Treasure Trail & Features

Around the outside of the reels, you will see a Treasure Trail, which has various icons in different positions. This charges up with every subsequent avalanche of the reels, and you will activate different features as it goes. They include the following:

• Anchor Drop – Between one and three of the lower paying symbols in the game are removed from the grid at random.

• Random Wilds – Between four and eight wild coin symbols are randomly placed on the grid and set about substituting in wins.

• Mystery Chest Feature – Between 2 and 16 medium and low win symbols are replaced on the grid by mystery symbols. These then all transform to reveal one and the same medium win symbol behind them.

• Cannon Blast Feature – A random symbol on the grid is removed, along with all other medium and low paying symbols on the same row and column as it.

Making it through to the end of the Treasure Trail with your avalanche wins will activate the free spins round of Reef Raider. You’ll be given nine free spins to play through in total, with every extra three charged bars awarding two more free spins.

Free Spins

When you enter the free spins round, the mystery overlay feature comes into action. Five mystery symbols appear on the reels, which reveal themselves as a randomly chosen symbol from the paytable. Every free spin may then add extra mystery symbols to the grid.
