Racing Fever

Equestrian sports are a big thing, in fact, most countries that take a hard stance on any other form of gambling still allow horse races and betting on them. Then, it’s is rather surprising that in the world of online slots the subject is barely touched. Perhaps that is simply because there are already more than enough choices in the form of betting and virtual games. Perhaps it’s simply because the subject doesn’t translate well into online slots.

Here then, comes We Are Casino’s attempt to correct that situation. Racing Fever slot takes the popular theme and makes the most of it. This is not a revolutionary game, but if the theme is something that interests you, then, by all means, give it a spin.

Theme

Even the spin button is themed after racing horses. The reels are full of matching symbols, from horses to jockeys, and a couple of special rewards to spice up things a bit. The music and sound effects aren’t quite a similar perfect match, but then one would be hard-pressed to say in what form they would be. All in all, it does all work quite well for the game. Special features add a bit more of much-needed immersion in the slot.

Betting Options and Functions

For gamers who prefer the normal reels and paylines this slot offers just that: five reels of three symbols each, with a selection of ten paylines running through them. The variance seems to be skewed towards high, as would be evident from the top prize being 1000 times your line bet. All is well, there can only be one winner in a horse race anyways.

The game interface is a mix of mobile and desktop compatibility. The game itself looks good and runs well on all devices, but some of the buttons, like paytable and information, are a bit small for smartphone screens. Something to improve on, but definitely not a game stopper.

Features

On to the features!

The main symbols for bonuses is the scatter, which is a golden trophy. Interestingly enough, it has three different functions depending on how many land on the reels on any given spin:

• One or two trophies.

When a maximum of two scatters are on the reels they transform into wilds. They function as any other symbol, completing winning combinations. Basic wild functionality.

• Three of four trophies.

With three or four of these symbols on the reels they function as scatters normally do - activating bonus spins. You get ten of these, after which normal gameplay resumes.

• Five trophies.

If you manage to catch all five trophies you are rewarded with a bonus game. Here you need to pick the right horse to win the biggest instant win prize!

Our Take

It’s not quite virtual racing or betting, rather We Are Casino has produced a slot that uses racing as a theme. The game offers high volatility gameplay with some prizes that are worth scoring. If you are a fan of horses or racing, give this game a quick spin or two!
