Raging Rex Slot – Free Demo

A wild that only counts when it fills the reel

Raging Rex is a video slot with 6 reels, 4 rows and 4,096 ways to win. I ran 230 spins on it at a 5.00 stake. It is playable on all devices, and the slot pays from the leftmost position on neighbouring reels. There is also a wild symbol, Rex. Rampage keys off it, and so does one of the two free spin modes. It substitutes for all standard symbols except the Scatter. One frame I kept shows the Rex standing two positions tall on reel 2 at a 5.00 bet, paying a 15.00 way win with no re-spin behind it. The balance went from 25,000.00 to 24,726.50 across those spins.

Rampage walks Rex to reel 1

Any time Raging Rex lands completely stacked and visible on the reels in the base game, Rampage re-spins are activated. The condition is strict — a Rex covering only part of a reel sits there as an ordinary wild and starts nothing. Rex moves one reel to the left with every re-spin. How long the chain runs therefore depends on which reel it landed on. The re-spins finish when reel 1 is reached. Nothing carries out of the chain and into the free spins; Rampage is a base game sequence only.

The 5x guarantee lands before the first free spin

This Free Spin mode is activated by collecting 3 or more Scatter symbols, and triggering immediately pays a 5x bet guarantee. That guarantee is settled at the moment of activation, before the first free spin is resolved. Retriggers are limitless. The one round I reached did not retrigger. 2, 3, 4 or 5+ Scatters inside the round grant 5, 8, 15 or 20 spins, and on triggering the player chooses a mode. Mine landed on spin 187 with four scatters, which ran the round out to 15 free spins.

The count of Raging Spins are granted in the following manner:

• 3 Scatter symbols grant 8 Free Spins
• 4 Scatter symbols grant 15 Free Spins
• 5 Scatter symbols grant 20 Free Spins
• 6 Scatter symbols grant 30 Free Spins

Wild Hunt or Primal Rage, chosen at the trigger

Additional Rex wilds arrive with multipliers that combine up to x243. The x243 is a ceiling reached only when several multiplier wilds combine in one win, not a value any single wild carries. Under Primal Rage, Raging Rex fills an entire reel on every spin. One column is wild for the whole round, so what a spin pays comes down to the other five reels.

Minty Slots Verdict: Rex has to fill a reel outright before Rampage starts, and over 230 spins at 5.00 the balance never got back above the 25,000.00 it opened on. Play’n GO runs the same left-to-right ways idea at 243 on Blazin’ Bullfrog and Merlin’s Grimoire; here it is 4,096, and the single Raging Spins round I reached carried 26% of everything the session won.

The session turned on spin 187

I never once pushed the balance above where it began when testing it out over 230 spins at a 5.00 stake. The lowest it sat was 24,487.00, and it closed at 24,726.50. The best spin of the bunch delivered 47x. That was spin 172, at 235.00. The player needs to reach the Raging Spins to extract anything out of it. The one round I got paid 225.00, which was 26% of everything the session won.

This is a hectic slot with two features. The longest I went without a win was 14 spins, ending on spin 152. I quickly observed however that I didn't truly gain much out of it: only 54 of my 230 spins paid anything at all, and 31 of those paid less than the stake. Across the session 876.50 came back against 1,150.00 staked. Bonuses were few and far between — one Raging Spins round in the entire session, worth 45x.
