Roller Derby Slot Machine
In the last ten years or so, Roller Derby has become a hugely popular sport for young women, mainly in the United States but it continues to spread to other parts of the world. More fun and intense than football, hockey or other traditional sports it has become the hip sport of choice for edgier young women, donning their roller blades and helmets to take part in tournaments around the world.
It’s well known to be a slightly aggressive sport, with its own fashion and plenty of fracas between players. Genesis Gaming haven’t missed a trick on this, encapsulating the sport in their slot ‘Roller Derby’, a 5 reel, 25 bet line slot which despite the funky theme is of a ‘no frills’ style, with minimal animations or other features to detract from spinning those reels.
Play for a trophy full of riches
The introduction to Roller Derby comes in the form of an 80s styled referee-shirt backdrop and graffiti style lettering with the encouragement to ‘win a trophy full of riches’ and the statement that ‘these ladies fight to win’. Accompanied by 80s rock music, the game has a high energy, competitive feel from the outset. Admittedly, roller derby is still a fairly niche sport but this theme could attract both roller derby fans and potentially anyone who likes the 80s feel of the game. Overall, this tough, competitive theme is a great one to get you in the mood for playing hard and fast.
Rolling in features
Despite the ‘no frills’ design, there are some features of Roller Derby to add interest. If you land three or more of the scatter symbols, you can play a ‘Let’s Talk Derby’ free spins round, on which you are given five spins. During these spins all the derby girl symbols become Wilds, increasing your chances of a win.
As is fairly standard, the Wild, which here comes in the form of a purple roller skate, set against a curious backdrop of roses and a knuckle duster (they weren’t kidding when they said these ladies play to win by any means necessary!) can replace any symbol other than the scatter symbol. This free spins round is the only bonus game available on Roller Derby.
The technical bits
The coins you can place on Roller Derby range from 0.01 coins to 0.25, with the maximum bet per spin being 31.25 for a potential jackpot of 1000 coins. All your tools are easily found in a neat row beneath the reels, with a cool traditional scoreboard showing your bet amount, and easy to use toggles for adjusting bet lines and your coin size. There’s also the usual ‘autoplay’ feature if you choose to use it.
The maximum jackpot can be won when landing the Wild on all five reels and you can win up to 500 with the next strongest wild of the head roller girl dressed in red. The other roller girl wilds can land you up to 400, and the purple roller skate wheel a maximum of 250. The estimated RTP (return to player) rate of Roller Derby is over 95%.

Roll those reels and skate away with your winnings
There are two main things we love about this slot; its unusual niche sporting theme and its no frills functionality. There are no confusing tokens to collect or combinations you need to land to unlock numerous bonus rounds here; it’s just spin, spin, spin, and when you land the scatter wilds you get to play five spins on the bonus round with its boosted Wilds. The graphics are clean and styled like an eighties comic, with the rock music soundtrack to match. This is a fun, competitive, fuss-free game for anyone to enjoy.
