As you might expect of a slot game designed on the feedback from a bunch of feature-hungry slots fanatics, Beast Mode doesn’t shirk on the bonus action which is why I found it such a fun game to play.
Base Game Features
The action throughout is driven by Cascading Wins, so after any winning spin, winning symbols are slashed off the reels, existing symbols drop down to fill the gaps and new symbols drop in to fill the remaining spaces. This process repeats until no more wins are triggered. If you play slots a lot you will have seen this feature in countless other games.
In the base game there are also Random Mystery Spins and Mystery Symbols. These drop at any time.
Mystery Symbols will reveal one pay symbol when they land. The important part is that if more than one Mystery Symbol lands then each one reveals the SAME pay symbol, to increase the chances of scoring wins. On a Random Mystery Spin you are GUARANTEED to land at least one Mystery Symbol. If wins are triggered, then on each Cascade, the Mystery Symbols will reveal a new pay symbol.
In short, Random Mystery Spins are extra spins with better odds of scoring wins, particularly when 3 or 4 Mystery Symbols land.
Random Mystery Spin with 5 Mystery SymbolsFree Spins – Choose From Three Options
By far the most exciting part of Beast Mode, and the reason why this game is so popular amongst Relax fans is the free spins options.
As usual, you will need to collect 3 or 4 bonus symbols to trigger this. Bonus symbols are collected at the top of the reels throughout Cascades and are displayed as stars. In an interesting twist, 3 bonus symbols means you have the option to gamble a 50/50 wheel spin to play the upgraded version of the free spins round rather than the basic version. Four bonus symbols takes you straight there.
Bonus Symbols are collected as stars above the reelsBeast Mode has THREE free spins options. I love this part because it has literally been configured so you can choose a mode that suits your preferred game features.
The first is Mystery Symbols Free Spins which is SIX at standard level and TEN at upgraded level. This one is good because it adds a bomb symbol randomly onto the reels to add 3 more spins to your total and an extra row to reels 2, 3 and 4. This way you can play with up to 7 rows in the middle reels and significantly more paylines!
The second free spins option is Multiplier Ladder Free Spins with EIGHT free spins in normal mode and NINE in upgraded mode. This option is your best choice if you like progressive multipliers – starting at 1x and increasing with every cascade up to a massive 500x max! You also get gifted extra spins at higher multiplier levels.
The third option is built for those who like expanding symbols – Expanding Wilds Free Spins. You get SEVEN at basic level and TEN at enhanced level. Both come with a multiplier – 1x, or a staggering 10x at enhanced level. And … of course …. Wilds are expanders, expanding down to give you more chances of completing paylines.
