Reely Roulette Online Slot Machine Review
Reely Roulette is one of a series of slots developed by Leander which offer a great mix of a traditional slot alongside another gambling pursuit, this roulette based game joining others which introduce elements of bingo and poker into the slot arena. It might not be obvious at first glance, but the basic game is simply a slot with 5 reels, the symbols however all representing numbers on a roulette wheel. You’ll win as you would at any other slot, by landing these numbers consecutively from left to right on a win line. The roulette comes into play with both a side bet option and the bonus round in the game.
As you might expect, this slot is set against the backdrop of a roulette table, the reels sat in a wooden frame all set against the green felt of the betting layout. It would be fair to say that this isn’t the most visually stimulating slot, but it does fit the roulette theme well. The accompanying background sound is a little bit ‘lounge music’, which to be honest isn’t particularly noticeable – accompanied by the sounds of the spinning reels.
The feature round of the slot takes you to a game of actual roulette where you’ll have the opportunity to place a series of free bets.
Set up and Play for Reely Roulette
This 5 reel slot by Leander has 30 win lines, this amount being changeable. However should you wish to make use of the side bet option you’ll have to play all of the 30 win lines. The side bet option sees a mini roulette betting layout appear to the right of the slot and you’ll be able to place such bets as red or black, odd or even, 1st 6 and 2nd 6 as well as individual numbers. The number which appears on the centre of reel 5 will be the winning number for the side bet. Having placed a side bet, this same bet will continue for each subsequent spin until you choose to change it.
The roulette wheel wild symbol substitutes for any of the numbers on the slot and is also the highest paying symbol, giving you 10,000x the coin amount should you land 5 in a row. The number 1 is the highest paying standard symbol in the game at 700x for 5 and these pay-outs decrease as the numbers increase, landing 5 twelves in a row winning you just 100x.
This slot has an auto play option where you can set the slot to play automatically for up to 500 spins, this a good option as you keep a close eye on your side bet as the reels spin themselves. There is also a mute option and a speed setting. The info button is also handy as it tells you all of the pay-outs at the slot as well as instructions as to how you’ll land the feature.
Reely Roulette Feature Round
The bonus game is activated when landing the ‘Croupier’ scatter symbol on reels 2, 3 and 4. This will see you taken to a screen where you’ll select a chip to see whether you’ll have 3, 4 or 5 wheels in play. You’ll have 12 chips to place anywhere on the betting layout with the maximum single bet being 9 chips. Each chip is the value of your total bet at the slot and should a bet win at one or more of the reels you’ll be paid out in exactly the same way as at a roulette wheel, with the same 36x odds for a single number and double your money for an even money bet such as red/black or odd/even. Having placed your bets, the roulette wheels will spin at the top of the screen and each will stop in turn to reveal the winning number.
Reel Roulette Conclusion
This slot by Leander is a very original one, taking two traditional forms of gambling and merging them into one. This is certainly a slot where you’ll have a hard time becoming bored, especially if you have the side bet in play. The feature round is the highlight of the slot and can potentially give you a large win, although if anything this round is a little quick, considering you may have to wait a while to achieve it.
This slot will be a hit with any casino fans, although in comparison to Reely Bingo and Reely Poker, this is possibly the weakest of the three. As a roulette fan however, I will be returning to play again.
