It took 242 spins for the Respin symbol to hand me free spins on Absolute Super Reels, and it sits on a fifth reel that only switches on at the full 15 coins per line. Reel 4 needs 10 coins and adds instant prizes; below that, line wins pay a tenth of the paytable.
I jumped straight into the action, hearing about this iSoftBet slot. Million Coins Respin and Hot Zone Wild are iSoftBet slots as well. Like a kid at Christmas I was, skipping both the loading screen and help file. I set the stake at 1.50 and started from a balance of 1,000.00. But is it worth the effort or not, let's see.
Absolute Super Reels is a 3-reel, 3-row slot. A win is three matching symbols in a row on one of the lines, and mixed sevens or mixed BARs on a line pay too. With 5 pay lines and two bonus reels, it is available from 0.05 to 37.50 a spin. The coin value runs from 0.01 to 0.50, and each line takes between 1 and 15 coins. Now here comes the interesting bit, and looking at the bet size options I can see that reel 4 unlocks at 10 coins per line. Below 10 coins per line, line wins pay one tenth of the full paytable amounts. Reel 5 unlocks only at 15. The lowest stake with both bonus reels active is 0.75, and I played 15 coins per line at 1.50, so both were live for all 410 of my spins.
There are no wilds here. The standard symbols are depicted by Single BARs, Double BARs, Triple BARs, sevens and the Absolute Super Reels logo. The latter is the top paying. Sevens rank second, followed by the Triple, Double and Single BARs in that order. Three logos on a payline, together with the +1000 symbol on reel 4 and the x10 multiplier on reel 5, win the progressive jackpot, and that is the combination behind the game's maximum win.
The slot features a multiplier reel. It is reel 5, and on spin 264 an x5 there turned one of my line wins into 42x the stake. It multiplies a win by 2, 5 or 10, and a prize symbol is added to that win when it lands on reel 4 on a winning payline. Reel 4 carries the symbols +50, +150, +750 and +1000 along with blank positions, and a blank adds nothing to the win.
Now the free spins, folks. They are only on offer at 15 coins per line, since the Respin symbol sits on reel 5. This is where the magic (ideally) happens, and to be let in one must land the Respin symbol on a winning combination. That will award up to 5 free spins. They cost nothing and pay as normal spins do. During the free spins, the Respin symbol landing awards the free spins again. There is no limit on how often that can happen.
It took me 242 spins before I saw the free spins for the first time. By then the balance had reached its lowest point of the session, 786.40. They retriggered, stretched to 7 free spins and returned 48x the stake. The second Respin came 19 spins later, on spin 261, and its 4 free spins paid 1.2x the stake with no retrigger.
Minty’s Final Note: My 410 spins returned 73.2% of what I wagered, against a stated 95.50%, and the two Respin rounds supplied 16% of everything won. The best single result, 48x the stake, needed a retrigger to get there.
If you try Absolute Super Reels, you will sense every side of it showing through here. Of my 410 spins, 113 paid something, and 65 of those paid less than the stake. There is the maddeningly long stretch it can take to trigger the bonus. My longest run without a win of any kind was 12 spins. There are the consequences it can have on the balance, and in my case that moved from 1,000.00 to 835.00 over 410 spins and never climbed above where it began.
