NetEnt has recently expanded its extensive portfolio by introducing a new slot game called “Rabid Randy,” which features a hunting theme. In this game, players are immersed in the world of a daring hunter who must navigate a risky environment where he could easily become the hunted.
No rest for the wicked
The game’s protagonist, Rabid Randy, embodies the relentless pursuit of his targets, echoing the familiar notion that there is “no rest for the wicked.” The game is structured on a diamond-shaped gaming grid, consisting of five reels with varying symbol heights of three, four, five, four, and three. Throughout the gameplay, players will encounter possessed animals and tied animal bones racing across the screen with each spin.
Multiple features
One of the key features of the game involves feral paws landing on specific positions on the reels, leaving traces of teeth behind as they progress into wild symbols. Additionally, as Rabid Randy tracks the trail of these wild animals, the feral paws contribute to filling up a Collect Meter, which has the potential to award players with a multiplier of up to 1,000x, applicable to the final winnings from the subsequent free spins round.
Bonus round
Upon triggering the Rabid Randy scatter symbols and entering the bonus round, players are treated to an exhilarating experience with free spins that offer feral wilds, paw-dropping multipliers, trophies, and the possibility of earning a significant final multiplier applied to all bonus round winnings.
In the world of Rabid Randy, players are challenged to survive the wilderness and strategically navigate their way to acquiring trophies. With its immersive gameplay and enticing features, the game offers an engaging experience for players seeking excitement and rewards in the realm of online slot gaming.
NetEnt said on their website:
Hunter or prey? The line is razor-thin in the menacing hunter’s dangerous game!
Follow the prints in the dirt; each spin draws you deeper into the twisted world of Rabid Randy by NetEnt!”
Review Overview
Summary
Rabid Randy slot is themed on goofy, aggressive cartoon dogs and animals on its 5 reels laid out in the old 3-4-5-4-3 pattern. You get 20 paylines with stacked symbols with the 5-of-a-kinds paying 5 down to 0.4x bet and paw symbols may land, creating a trap-shaped frame and also removing a paw from the reels and adding it to a counter. The paw symbol may randomly turn hot, activating its frame which turns adjacent positions and frames Wild. Then they disappear but remain in the paw counter. Each time the counter reaches 200, the multiplier for your next free games trigger upgrades, it can theoretically reach 1000x. Landing 3 Rabid Randy scatters on the middle reels triggers 3 free games, the existing frames convert to cash values of 0.5x to 50x bet. Only blanks or cash trophies with the same potential values as those will land in the bonus, each new value resetting your 3 lives. It ends when the lives are used or screen is full, in which case an extra 2x multiplier will be applied to the accumulated wins. Apparently a 19,000x max win would get you foaming at the mouth too.
