Rage Slot

Rage Gameplay & Design

Rage is a medieval-themed slot that puts us in the centre of a pub, where the locals are known to get a little hot-headed after one too many ales. 

Is it just us, or does Rage make you feel like you’re inside a scene from the Disney movie Tangled? The scene in particular when Rapunzel walks into the pub and bursts into song. 

With the medieval theme comes everything made of wood and metal, from the furniture in the backdrop to the reel set and symbols themselves. 

Rage is a 5-reel Video Slot with a 2-2-4-4-4 formation, playable from £.€0.25 per spin, up to a maximum bet limit of £.€250 per spin. Simply toggle through the multiple bet options until you find a bet that is suitable for you.

Rage – Slot Symbols and Their Values

Rage features 4 high-paying Character symbols and 4 low-paying symbols. The highest-paying symbol can deliver wins of up to 4x your bet for a full 5-line win. 

Low-paying symbols are standard A, K, Q, and J. While Jacks award wins of 0.6x your bet for a full 5-line win, Aces are able to offer up 0.8x your bet for a full 5-line win sequence. 

Rage – Paylines & How to Get Them

Wins occur when 3-5 identical low-paying symbols land from left to right, starting from the leftmost reel, across 256 active ways to win. Matching high-paying Character symbols form wins when they land on reels 1 and 2, and at least one other reel, regardless of adjacency. 

Rage RTP & Volatility – Hot or Not?

Rage has a theoretical RTP of 96.07%. This figure is considered above average on the RTP scale. However, Rage also has a lower RTP alternative of 94.01%. 

This figure is considered below average on the RTP scale. However, it’s no secret that RTP levels around this level are becoming increasingly common in the UK market. 

In terms of Volatility, Rage is classed as a Medium-High volatility slot, striking the balance between more frequent and bigger wins. Wins may not be as substantial as slots with a high volatility level but in theory, wins should occur more often.

Rage Special Features

In this section of the review, we will be taking a look at the special features on offer, and how they contribute to gameplay. 

Colossal Symbols

During a game round, High-paying, Combined, and Scatter symbols can appear as colossal (2×2) symbols on reels 1 & 2. Combined symbols are a combination of any 2-4 High-paying symbols, and can only appear as as a colossal symbol on the reels. 

Respins

In the base game and Free Spins round, a colossal symbol that forms a winning combination automatically triggers Respins. 

During Respins, the colossal symbol and all other winning symbols will remain fixed on the reels. Respins will continue until no additional matching symbols to the colossal symbol appear in view. 

Bonus Buy

Those within Bonus Buy territory can access the Free Spins round for 80x your current bet. Online Slots UK are devoid of such options, however, the Free Spins round is still available to players within the UK through regular gameplay.

Rage Bonus Rounds & Free Spins

Rage has only one Free Spins round available that triggers when a Colossal 2×2 Scatter (Chest) appears across reels 1 & 2. 

A Mini-Game is activated first, where additional Scatters will land on reels 3, 4, and 5. This determines the number of Free Spins you will begin the round with. The Colossal Scatter counts as 4 individual Scatter symbols. 

At the end of the Respin Feature during Free Spins, a random number of symbols across reels 3, 4, and 5 that are identical to the Colossal symbol can randomly transform into Sticky Wilds. Sticky Wilds will remain on the reels until the end of Free Spins.

Conclusion

Rage felt like quite the change of pace for NetEnt. It’s evidently unconventional, but it’s alluring and interesting at the same time. 

Rage comes equipped with a Colossal Symbols and respins feature that breathes life into what otherwise may have been a rather uneventful base game, and the Free Spins round serves to enhance these features even further. 

As attractive as Rage looks, some may be put off by what seems like a relatively low win potential. At 1,860x the bet as the best possible outcome, some may want to get their thrills elsewhere. That being said, Rage may suit players who aren’t keen on super high volatile games, of which there seem to be many in this day and age. 

Overall, Rage was something different, imaginative, fun, and memorable. It isn’t NeEnt’s flagship game by any means, but they’re understandably proud to add it to their portfolio.
