If you remember the 1970s, then you remember many of the great movies from the era, many of which revolved around famous heists, and TV shows about police officers. NetEnt invites players to come join the criminals who want to steal the big prize, loudly cheering as they get away from the police.

Reel Steal is a slot with five reels and just nine paylines that fully embraces this period in time and all of its glamour, with excellent 3D graphics, stunning sound effects, and bonus features that provide hours of gameplay.

Graphics & Theme

We’ve already mentioned the game takes a huge inspiration from the 1970s movies, heist movies in particular, and the overall theme of the game displays this perfectly. The reels are housed within a safe, while the symbols are guns, a treasury, evidence, briefcase, bag full of cash, and other heist-related items and characters. The music is what you would expect from the 70s themed-game, perfectly accompanying thrilling chase scenes, with each win followed by ecstatic sound effects.

Gameplay

The Wild symbol in Reel Steal is a yellow car with white racing stripes, while the Scatter is represented by a couple of ticking sticks of dynamite.

Wild symbols increase the multiplier to 5x for each winning combo they are a part of. However, this is only during the base game; during the Free Spins feature, all Wilds that land multiply winning combos by 25x, as all wins during this round are already multiplied by 5x.

Landing three or more Dynamite Scatter symbols will reward players with the following:

·         3 Dynamite Scatters = 15 free spins

·         4 Dynamite Scatters = 20 free spins

·         5 Dynamite Scatters = 25 free spins

Each Wild that lands during the free spins round will increase the multiplier to 25x, and each additional scatter that lands will add another free spin to the total.

We applaud the terrific and entertaining soundtrack, as well as the charming visuals that take us back to a simpler time. On top of that, Real Steel comes with an amazing bonus feature that has a truly massive potential for big wins. The slot only has nine paylines, however, so don’t expect every bonus to be huge.
