Rocket Fellas Inc Slot
- A new, low variance slot from Thunderkick
- A fairly boring design with lower than average graphics
- Main focus on Free Spins Bonus with extra features
Rocket Fellas Inc slot is the latest game from Thunderkick and offers a few good features that are all focused around the Free Spins Bonus. These include extra Wilds and sticky Wilds which are fortunately worth quite a bit in this game so you can get some decent wins, but I’ll explain how they work in more detail below.
When it comes to the design, I don’t feel as though Thunderkick put much effort into Rocket Fellas Inc slot. The theme is fine based around dwarf miners, but the graphics are pretty poor and there’s just not much in the way of detail or animations. You have a set of 5 reels here with 4 rows and 30 paylines, and your job is to get a winning combination from left to right using the base symbols in the game. These are as follows, ranked in ascending order based on their value:
- Blue or Green Jewel (lowest value)
- Yellow Jewel
- Red Jewel
- Blue Miner
- Green Miner
- Yellow Miner
- Red Miner
- Target Barrel
- Wild (highest value)
Rocket Fellas Inc slot has a good variation of symbols here, almost all of which are of different values. The Wild symbols, as well as being the highest value symbol in the game, also substitutes for all other symbols in a winning combination apart from the Scatter symbol.
Rocket Fellas Inc Slot Bonuses and Features
Free Spins Bonus. The Scatter symbol, shown as a fist with a Bonus symbol, is used to trigger the Bonus Game which gives you free spins. You need 3 or more of these which is pretty standard these days. 3 Scatter symbols will give you 10 free spins, 4 Scatter symbols will give you 15 free spins and finally 5 Scatter symbols will give you 20 free spins. There’s nothing particularly special about the Bonus, but you can win more free spins if you manage to land at least 2 more Scatter symbols with your free spins, with 2 giving you another 3 free spins, 3 giving you 10, 4 giving you 15 and 5 giving you the maximum 20 free spins. The number of free spins on offer here isn’t bad, especially when you couple it with some of the features mentioned below.
Rocket Feature. You’ll notice on the left reel that a Rocket symbol may appear and transform into the Wild symbol. When the Rocket symbol appears at the same time as a Target Barrel symbol on the same row, the Rocket symbol, the Target Barrel symbol and all other Target Barrel symbols on the same reel will turn into Wild symbols. This is quite an interesting and complicated extra Wild feature but it can work pretty well.
Sticky Wild Feature. One slight difference between the Free Spins Bonus and the base game is how the Rocket Feature works. If the Rocket symbol appears on the same row as a Target Barrel symbol during the free spins, the Barrel (but not the Rocket) will transform into a Sticky Wild for the remainder of your free spins.
Hot Reels. This is another feature available during the Free Spins Bonus which turns any reel with the Sticky Wild symbol on it into a Hot Reel. This means that all Barrel symbols which land on it during the free spins will turn Wild for hopefully more wins.
Conclusion
Thunderkick have produced a fairly simple game here with Rocket Fellas Inc slot. It’s one of those games that is focused almost entirely on the Free Spins Bonus due to having some extra features available in it. These including sticky Wilds, probably the main feature for it, and being able to win extra Wilds from that. Originally I didn’t think this was too impressive but with quite a large number of free spins often available, it’s not too bad. The symbols themselves have some decent payouts but I would have liked to have seen another feature which offered some bigger wins, maybe even a Jackpot. The design is certainly lacking which is disappointing for me. The graphics aren’t very good and there’s not a lot of detail in the symbols. Overall, it’s a pretty good low-variance slot like Wild Plunder slot that would suit those who enjoy free spins and frequent wins. Let us know what you think down in the comments below.
