Reel Splitter

Trying out new things is something we always encourage developers to do. But there’s a very clear distinction between experimenting and just short-changing your players. We’re sorry, Microgaming, but taking out a reel and then putting it back isn’t a special feature. It’s a mechanic that’s going to make people drop this slot in droves.
Reel Splitter is played on a 4×3 board with 81 ways to win. Both the re-spin and free spins bring back the fifth reel in some form. For the re-spin, it only appears for a four-of-a-kind win, and then, it only lasts for one turn. Meanwhile, it returns more permanently for free spins, but disappears after the extra turns are all played.

Fun and colourful graphics are the name of this game! But while we like the general style, the absence of any meaningful theme is something we’ll have to dock points for.Compare the visuals of this release with what Microgaming’s competition is putting forward.Honestly, it looks like the developer isn’t even trying anymore.

You play Reel Splitter on a 4-reel board, where each reel is three symbols tall. However, when special features are triggered, the number of reels increases by one! Regardless of how many reels are active, you win by collecting three or more identical icons. Wins are awarded left to right during normal gameplay, and both ways during free spins.

Setting your total bet is quite simple. Click the betting coin button above the Spin, and it will reveal a drop down menu. Drag it up and down until you select a wager that suits you, and you’re ready to go! Gamblers can bet between $0.10 and $100 on each spin. This is a fantastic betting spread for both casual players and high rollers!

Playtech’s slot has a medium variance and an RTP of 96.02%, which is the current industry average. The maximum jackpot is $271,740, or 2,717.40x your total stake. The top prize can only be won during free spins, so cross your fingers and hope you get lucky!

Available symbol designs are just as bright and colourful as the background image. But in the absence of an actual theme, Microgamingfell back to fruits and playing card royals. Don’t get us wrong, there’s obvious effort put into them. But we’ve seen them so many times, it just doesn’t have any effect on us.

If you land a four-of-a-kind win, there’s a chance a Reel Split Re-spin will be played. During this bonus, an additional reel is created between the second and third reels. This extra reel will spin, while all other positions on the board remain frozen. The number of ways to win increases from 81 to 243.

Collect three or four free spins icons to win eight or sixteen extra turns, respectively. Free spins are played on a 5×3 board with 243 ways to win.The added fifth reel is a stacked Wild. Furthermore, until extra turns end, all wins pay left to right and right to left.
