Free slot: Arcane Reel Chaos

How Arcane Reel Chaos works

Arcane Reel Chaos is a slot machine present in online casinos. It is published since April 2019 by the online games provider NetEnt. In the heart of a devastated city, in a ruined cathedral, chaos reigns: thanks to their super powers, the super heroes must do everything to defeat the enemy called Deep Pockets.

It has a classic reel layout with 5 reels of 3 rows and 20 paylines. The reels are triggered to reveal various symbols. Arcane Reel Chaos has a payout ratio of 96.81% and can be described as a medium volatility machine with a payout of up to 1,212 times the original bet.

The different symbols of Arcane Reel Chaos

12 different symbols can appear on the grid:

• The WILD: it appears anywhere on the reels and replaces any other symbol except the Scatter.

• The snake encircling an amulet as a Scatter: it appears on reels 1, 3 and 5 and triggers the free spins bonus feature when 3 of them are combined.

• Deep Pockets (pays x50 for 5 identical symbols).

• Flare (pays x25 for 5 identical symbols).

• Zero.X (pays x15 for 5 identical symbols).

• Chrono (pays x10 for 5 identical symbols).

• Psyop (pays x7.5 for 5 identical symbols).

• The classic symbols A, K, Q, J and 10 (pay x2 to x5 for 5 identical symbols).

The different connections in Arcane Reel Chaos

Arcane Reel Chaos has many connections. Indeed, there are 20 paylines, which you can find in the image below. Whether it's lines, diagonals or simple touches, there are many ways to win. You need to line up between 3 and 5 symbols from left to right to get a win.

How the bonuses work in Arcane Reel Chaos

When 3 Scatter symbols land on reels 1, 3 and 5, the free spins bonus feature is triggered. A win of 5 times the bet is won. Classic symbols are removed from the reels during free spins.

To begin with, the superheroes face the enemy Deep Pockets in four different levels. Deep Pockets starts each level with a certain amount of health points and a multiplier. On Level 1, Deep Pockets has 2 health points and a x1 multiplier. On Level 2, he has 4 health points and a x2 multiplier. At Level 3, he has 5 health points and a x3 multiplier. At level 4, he has 6 health points and a x4 multiplier. The enemy's health gauge can only decrease.

Heroes also have a health gauge (with 6 points and a x1 multiplier): with each spin, if a gain is recorded, the enemy's health gauge decreases by 1. If no gain is recorded, the superhero's health gauge decreases by 1. When Deep Pockets has no health points left, the superhero reaches the next level. The hero is awarded an extra health point (up to a maximum of 6) and the multiplier increases by 1. When the hero has no health points left, the free spins end.

If the hero passes the last level, an additional cash bonus, called the Victory Bonus, is awarded. It is equal to 10 times the starting bet per health point.

In the base game only, each superhero appears randomly and triggers its own feature:

• Psyop's Stacked Wilds : 2 or 3 reels are filled with stacked WILDs.

• Zero.X Overlay Wilds : 3 to 5 WILDs are randomly placed on the reels.

• Flare's Multiplier : a multiplier x3, x4 or x5 is applied to the winnings.

• Chrono's Re-Spin : on a non-winning spin, the reels will respin until a winning combination occurs. With each spin, the overall multiplier increases by 1, from x2 to a maximum of x10.

Our opinion about Arcane Reel Chaos

With Arcane Reel Chaos, the provider NetEnt intends to revive its classics while adding a touch of originality with a theme based on superheroes. With this slot machine, there is no time to get bored. Superhero-specific mini-features follow one another in the base game and a permanent battle is reserved for free spins. Surprisingly enough for a slot, the winning potential is higher in the base game than in the free spins thanks to the Chrono's Re-Spin mini-feature.
