Reel Splitter

You know how some slots have these elaborate themes based on popular characters or high-flying concepts? Well, Reel Splitter isn’t one of those. So if you’re after something current and different, you might want to walk away right now.

On the flip side, despite the fact that Reel Splitter is straight out of Robert De Niro’s Casino, it has been made incredibly well, with clean functionality and some interesting features. The music is actually a perfect accompaniment to the theme. It’s definitely an interpretation of jazz, with wins and triggered features raising the tempo to almost unbearable heights. I kind of felt like I was on the Price Is Right after correctly guessing the cost of a toaster oven.

Visually, the Reel Splitter is exactly what you would expect. Lurid, old-school Las Vegas purple and blue backgrounds are offset by faux neon lighting and card suit patterns. Across the reels are symbols for a few types of fruit, and the usual aces, kings, queens, jacks and tens. As always these carry their own valuations, increasing depending on many you land.

The high value symbols are the ‘Wild’ and ‘Free Spins’ icons. The names are literally printed across the tiles, so there’s no cause for confusion there.

Reel Splitter keeps things fairly basic, and that continues to be evident across the special features which are simple, straightforward and functional. Interpret this as you wish. But if you don’t want to spend your time playing for free till you figure it out, I’ve done the hard work for you.

You’re free to place your bets from as little as 0.10, all the way up to 100. The highest paying symbol is the ‘Reel Splitter’, which is fitting seeing as this is also the name of the slot. Land 5 of these and you can get paid out 12x your bet.

While this isn’t the most exciting payout we’ve ever come across, when you consider that activating this feature is accompanied by a full reel of stacked Wilds and 243 ways to win, you can easily work out that the probability of hitting the payout repeatedly is pretty high. That means that ultimately you’d be safe to expect a whole lot more than 12x.

The lowest paying symbols are the card suits, while the fruits sit in between ranging from 3x to 8x. At its absolute peak, Reel Splitter will pay out just under C$300,000 but quite honestly, I would hesitate to calculate the odds on that. At Medium volatility I was pleased to experience fairly regular wins and very few dead spins.
