Reactoonz

Continuing on from Energoonz, Reactoonz is about a bunch of energetic little aliens. They look a whole lot cuter than E.T though. In fact, Reactoonz is far more graphically accomplished than Energoonz. Zap your way through space on the reels, and you’ll find yourself collecting on those wins.

There are quite a few characters in this slot. You have a bunch of extra-terrestrials as your higher and lower paying symbols. The higher paying aliens can be distinguished because they have a little more of a glow around them. They also have brighter colors and more detailed design. When a lot of the same type of alien ‘morph’ into one, they become Giantoonz. Basically, a Multiplier symbol.

Then, aside from the symbols on the reels, you also have Gargantoon himself. He looks a bit like a giant blob monster. But he’s always kept caged in some force-field looking contraption. Watch out for when you unleash him on the reels – he’s sure to kick up a storm of trouble (and wins). 

If we were to give this slot a story-line, we’d say that the smaller aliens are trying to set the mighty Gargantoon free. Then he’ll wreak his revenge. You’ll understand the significance of both Giantoonz and Gargantoon better when you read up on the special features of this slot.

As we know, Reactoonz is a cascading slot. Play’n GO has a real thing for cascading slots, probably because they do so well. Other really popular cascading Play’n GO slots include Viking Runecraft and Moon Princess.

In order to land wins, you need 5 or more symbols in a connected cluster. By ‘connected’, it means they have to be next to each other either horizontally or vertically. Whenever a winning combination lands, the winning symbols are removed from the reels. Following that, new symbols will drop in from the top of the reels to fill up the grid. This process continues within the same spin until there are no more winning combinations left. 

Cascading slots and cluster pays are sometimes considered to be better than normal payline slots, because you can get more wins from your spin. Of course, it also depends on what type of volatility and what type of features the slot has. For that, let’s continue on below.

Since Reactoonz is a cascading cluster-pay slot, there aren’t any fixed paylines and combinations. That’s why you’re seeing the table above. Now, since the slot is extremely volatile, it can pay out pretty well even in the base game when no special features are active. If you take a look at the higher paying symbols above, you can see why.

The slot has a maximum win of 4570x your original bet, which is very high indeed. The RTP of 96.51% is also encouraging, as it’s just above the typical average of 96%. And we’ve reviewed Play’n GO slots with a lower average before. On paper, this slot looks great – and we’re guessing a lot of players will love it.

However, when we compare it to Energoonz, the hit frequency isn’t that great. In order to trigger the Gargantoon feature – which is basically your best chance at landing super wins – you need to fill up all 5 Quantum Leap Charge Meters at one-go. Filling up even one Meter isn’t easy, because it’s dependent on the value of your winning combination. After 200 spins on this slot, we still didn’t trigger Gargantoon. Moral of the story: always play for fun, and don’t chase big wins. At the end of the day, it’s all down to luck.
