Rabid Randy Overview
Back in 2021 NetEnt released a slot game called Rome The Golden Age. And now they have released a new game called Rabid Randy, which is the same game but with another theme.
And let’s talk about the theme. It’s something that somehow doesn’t feel like a NetEnt game. The theme is dark, not only in colors, but also in subject. It seems to revolve around a crazy hunter named Randy that is catching, or slaughtering, rabid animals. I am guessing that this might be NetEnt’s Halloween release, to be honest.
The game uses 5 reels that are 3, 4, 5, 4 and 3 symbols high and it comes with 20 paylines.
Besides low paying card symbols and medium to high paying animal symbols, you will also find scatter symbols on reels 2, 3 and 4. Animal traps can also be found, which are used to create frames and wilds, more on that below.
Rabid Randy comes with a maximum payout of 19.000 times bet and is a high volatile slot game.
Features
The Paw, Hot Paw, Wild Symbols and Frames
Whenever a paw symbol appears anywhere on the reels, it will leave an animal trap around the spot (a frame). At random a paw symbol can become a Hot Paw, which will turn into a wild symbol on the next spin, but will also make all adjacent traps wild.
Increasing Multiplier
On the top left of the reels is a special meter which will fill up to 200. Each paw symbol appearing will award between 1 and 4 increments on this meter.
When this meter is full the multiplier on the right will increase. The multiplier will increase in the following steps. x1, x2, x3, x5, x7, x10, x12, x15, x20, x30, x40, x50, x75, x100, x200, x300, x500, x750, x1000.
This multiplier isn’t active during normal spins, but will become active during free spins feature.
Free Spins Feature
If you get all three scatter symbols on reels 2, 3 and 4 you will trigger the free spins feature.
All traps that are still on the reels will change into trophy symbols.
You will receive 3 free spins. Only trophy symbols appear during these free spins. And each time one or more of these coins appear, the spins are reset to 3.
Each trophy comes with a random cash value of between 0,5 and 50 times bet.
The feature ends when no more free spins are left or when you fill the entire screen. If you manage to fill the entire screen, all values are multiplied by x2.
And after this the total winning are multiplied with the multiplier you collected so far during normal play. This multiplier will reset back to x1 after the free spins feature.
Verdict
Rabid Randy is a totally different themed game than Rome The Golden Age. And I feel it’s also a bit more of an acquired taste. But it looks good and especially for the Halloween season.
Everything else is exactly the same as the original game, except for one thing. The maximum payout. Where Rome The Golden Age was known for the fact that it had a maximum payout of 100.000 times bet, Rabid Randy has a more realistic payout of 19.000 times bet. Which is still a big payout.
I think this new game will attract a lot of new players and a lot of players will enjoy this more darker theme.
Overall it’s s solid title worth a try.
