Play Random Runner for Free

Random Runner is a classic Simbat game with an unmistakable retro look that many players have come to know and love.

The entire game screen is a close-up on an old-school slot machine. The background is all black, with 2 reel sets in view, one at the top and the other at the bottom. You can add 2 different credit counters, interactive payables and flashing buttons to the mix, and the picture will be complete.

Random Runner is not exactly impressive in terms of graphics, but if you are reading this then it is likely that you are more concerned about the gameplay. Let’s take a look at it in the next section.

As mentioned previously, Random Runner is constructed around 2 reel sets and offers two different games in one. We will focus on the base game here to begin with.

The base game is played on the lower reel set, which contains 3 reels. As for the paylines, you only have 1 available, which crossed the reels horizontal. Landing winning symbol combinations onto it during the game is the key to triggering a credit reward, which is then transferred to the winbank just above the reels. All bets in the base game cost 1 credit by default.

Every time you come close to scoring a win, all the reels concerned will be held in position automatically. You can till hold or release reels manually as you please thanks to the corresponding hold buttons. Finally, you can let Random Runner take the wheel and switch to the autospin mode in order to let the reels spin on their own for a moment, placing all the bets automatically.

The lower reel set of Random Runner is literally surrounded by an exhaustive list of all the winning combinations available in the game.

The reel symbols themselves are slot game classics, from cherries to pears, plums, oranges, lemons and bar signs. The cherries can be combined with other symbols to trigger a small win of 2 credits.

The biggest rewards come with triple watermelons and stars, worth 100 and 200 credits respectively. You must also keep an eye on the crown symbol, as this is the only icon that allows diagonal combinations on the reels, for a reward of 20 credits. Once you have gained a little experience, and credits, in your winbank from the base game, then it is time to take things to the next level.

The top game becomes accessible to players only once you have won at least 4 credits in the base game. That should be a good incentive to keep the reels spinning for a while.

Each turn in the top game is played on the upper reel set and costs 5 credits. For every spin, 1 credit is taken from the credit meter like in the base game, while the 4 others come from your winbank. The top game starts automatically as soon as you have at least 4 credits in the winbank.

The top game is played on 5 paylines and thus offers more chances to win at every spin. The maximum reward is still 200 credits for a 3-star winning combination on a payline, just like in the base game.

Random Runner is a minimalistic slot game with few options in terms of gameplay, which makes it very accessible to a large audience of players.

On the other hand, the top game is a little to similar to the base game to be really interesting. Adding more paylines is always a plus, but the stakes and overall gameplay does not really evolve once you have unlocked this extra level, which is a bit of a shame.
