How Let's Get Ready to Rumble works

In the world of online casinos, and especially slot machines, the quest for the jackpot can sometimes be considered as a boxing match where you and the slot machine exchange blows! Well, we may be exaggerating a bit, but we can't think of a better way to introduce you to the slot machine we're going to review. Let's Get Ready to Rumble, a slot from provider Relax Gaming, welcomes you to the fabulous world of boxing! Released at the end of September 2019, the Let's Get Ready to Rumble slot features the legendary phrase uttered by the equally legendary announcer Michael Buffer. This slot was actually made in association with the latter and he even appears on the Relax Gaming machine, having the honor of having a symbol with his likeness. The starting grid consists of 6 columns with 4 symbols each. The graphics and animations are of a very good quality, while the sound effects and music are just as good. However, we would have appreciated a little more sound effects reminiscent of a boxing match. The basic game includes several features, which somewhat make up for the lack of possibility to get free Let's Get Ready to Rumble spins. As said before in this introduction to Let's Get Ready to Rumble, the basic game has many features. The first one is called "Rumble Spin" and is divided into four features:

• Cross Wilds: Between 3 and 5 Wilds symbols are randomly placed on the game grid. This can be activated up to 8 times in a single Rumble Spin

• Uppercut Wild: A whole column of Wilds settles on the rightmost roll

• Wild Hook: Moves a column of Wilds from the right-most reel to Reel 2 or 3. If the active area of the reel is larger than the Wild column, it also expands the column to fill it completely

• Title Fight: Expands the game grid by adding two rows above and below the starting game grid. This increases the number of possible connections to 1,436, up from 466 in the base game.

There is also a feature called "Sticky Spin" which works like this: if you get a winning connection, then the Sticky Spin feature can be triggered in a completely random way. The symbols involved in the winning connection become sticky and a re-spin is launched. You get re-spins as long as you manage to make the necessary symbols appear. Once the feature is complete, your winnings are credited to you. Finally, there is a last feature called "Wild Stacks" which randomly displays between 2 and 5 columns of Wilds.

Let's Get Ready to Rumble is a slot with a low volatility, while the payout ratio (RTP) is 96%, which puts it right in the middle of the slots on the market. As for the maximum payout, it is 2,389 times your original bet, which is a nice amount of money to try and win.

The different symbols of Let's Get Ready to Rumble

Relax Gaming's Let's Get Ready to Rumble is a slot with a good number of symbols, which can be grouped into two categories: common symbols and premium symbols. There is also a Wild symbol, which can substitute for any symbol, and therefore can be useful for making connections. Firstly, there are 7 common symbols, so called because they appear much more often, but therefore have a lower payout. They are represented by different objects belonging to the world of boxing:

• Relax Gaming branded bandages in different colors, which can earn you up to 0.5 times your original bet

• Announcer's microphone, bell, boxing glove and champion's belt, which can earn you up to 0.8 times your original bet

Next are the premium symbols, of which there are four. These symbols are considered premium because, unlike the common symbols, they appear much less frequently but logically they are much more profitable. They are represented by the different actors of a boxing match:

• The referee, the boxer with the blue background and the boxer with the red background, each of which can bring you up to 1.4 times your starting bet

• Michael Buffer, the highest paying symbol in this slot, which can pay you up to 2 times your original bet

Below are the potential payouts for each symbol in relation to a one euro bet.

Connections in Let's Get Ready to Rumble

In the Relax Gaming Let's Get Ready to Rumble slot, the starting grid seems to be quite classic, but it has a connection system that is quite original. In order to connect and win, you need to have at least three identical symbols on the first three reels, regardless of their position on the reel, as long as they are adjacent. All this gives you a total of 466 possible paylines, a number that increases to 1,436 if you are in the Rumble Spin feature. You will find on the screen below different examples of valid connections, as well as an example of non-valid connection.

How the bonus works in Let's Get Ready to Rumble

As previously mentioned in this Let's Get Ready to Rumble review, you will not be able to unlock free spins on this slot. This is a bit of a shame as there is no doubt that there was room for a very good bonus game, especially with a world that lends itself to it. So you will have to make do with the features present in the basic game, which are nevertheless relatively numerous and which therefore make up for this absence.

Our opinion on Let's Get Ready to Rumble

Slots from popular franchises are often surefire hits for online game providers. We are entitled to movies, musical groups, heroes of literature. Here, Relax Gaming takes a daring gamble by teaming up with the so-called "Voice of Champions" Michael Buffer. And to be honest, the result is more than satisfactory, despite some flaws. The graphics and animations are good, as well as the sound effects and music. We would have liked to have more sounds coming from a boxing fight. The basic game is quite basic, but is completed in the best way thanks to the presence of many features in the basic game. However, we would clearly have liked to see the presence of a bonus game, that's all this slot machine lacks to be almost perfect. Relax Gaming's Let's Get Ready to Rumble is a slot machine that is considered to have low volatility and an RTP of 96%, which puts it right in the middle of the pack among slot machines on the market.
