Raging Reindeer Slot Review
Released in December 2019, this game can be played at online casino such as Unibet, Mr Green or LeoVegas.
Theme and general information
With Raging Reindeer we get anything but a traditional Christmas slot. Yes, we’re clearly at the North Pole where snow is falling. And yes, there’s a reindeer on the reels. His fake nose is coming off and for some reason this guy is really quite angry. Maybe he is fed-up with the party hat he’s been forced to wear. Or the animals of the forest are annoying him?
We don’t know, but the latter seems like a good bet if you’re looking at the animals in question. The wolf looks up to no good with his party hat and toy trumpet. The owl is clearly already drunk on something. The coyote is chewing on a bone and wears star-shaped sunglasses. And the rabbit looks stoned. Clearly, he’s lost his hat somewhere.
At the very least, this cast is quirky, but none of the animals would scare us in the dark. We’d probably fall over laughing at them instead.
Plus, the is a rockin’ Christmas soundtrack, which adds a lot of entertainment to these party animals.
We also get 9 to A playing card symbols carved from colourful wood. The wild is a wooden box and the scatter is the game logo.
The reindeer is worth the most, paying 7.5x our stake for 6 of his kind. He already pays for just two, though.
You can play this game from 0.20 to 20.00 per spin
Multiplying wilds and scatter wins in the free spins
There really isn’t much going on in the base game, though you may find this game surprisingly volatile. Whilst we get 4,096 ways to win, we found wins quite rare initially. So, you may want to budget on the careful side.
Triggering the free spins is not overly difficult, however, and it is here you’ll find all the action. You need at least three scatters to trigger 8 free spins.
With 4 scatters you’ll get 15 spins, and 5 scatters will activate 20 free spins. If you manage to get 6 scatters, you could get 50 free spins.
During the free spins, the wild can have a 2x or 3x multiplier, which means in this case the wilds act as if there are 2 or 3 more of them. Additionally, the reindeer symbols pays out as a scatter anywhere on the reels. This is helped along by the wild symbols, which add to such winning combinations. A wild on reel 1 and a reindeer on reel 5 would yield a win during the free spins.
It’s also possible to retrigger the free spins and get 5, 8, 15, 20 or 50 more spins with 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 more scatters.
Conclusion: A quirky Christmas slot that can drain your budget if you’re not careful
The theoretical RTP (Return to Player) of Raging Reindeer is 95.94%, which is slightly below average and if you are unlucky, you’ll feel it. Hence the careful budgeting. The slot is usually of medium volatility, so regular wins should be possible.
The theme is certainly quirky and a nice departure from more traditional Christmas slots. It’s also a little odd, of course. But you can have fun with it, and we do like the rock soundtrack.
In theory, it should be possible to win 4,332x your stake in this game, but we never managed to come anywhere near this. The free spins may yield 60x or so on a regular basis. But will that Raging Reindeer bring bigger wins? Only with a lot of luck.
