Reel Party comes from Rival Gaming and it’s a game that they’ve chosen to create with a theme that is inspired by a real party. With girls holding glasses, bottles of champagne and a Happy New Year hat being among the symbols, you shouldn’t have any trouble figuring out what the slot is about. It’s a New Years Eve party, one that looks like a lot of fun. Father Time is part of the action as well, along with other time or party related images. The full title of the game is actually New Year’s Eve Reel Party.
The 15 paylines from Reel Party are placed on 5 reels. The features get you access to wild symbols, to free games, scatters and bonus games. A $12,500 jackpot is the most you can win from a regular combo.
Features of Reel Party
The wild symbol is one part of the feature list, while the bonus game is another and the scatter symbol with free spins brings up the rear.
Surprisingly enough, the wild symbol in Reel Party is represented by a baby holding a noise maker. He’s the one you will want to see as often as possible on the game’s reels, as he can substitute for a regular symbol and in the process assist with the formation of a new win line. It’s not going to take the role of a feature symbol though, so scatters and bonus symbols don’t take advantage of it. The wild has prizes of its own as well, so if you have a couple of wilds on a line, and going from left to right, you can get paid by the most valuable symbol of this slot. It offers 10x to 5,000x the line wager, for two to five wilds.
Free Games Feature
Father Time is an especially nice to see scatter. The reason isn’t that it gives you prizes directly, it’s the free spins it can trigger. Depending on the number of scattered symbols of this type, between 3 and 5 being needed, you can get 10, 20 or 100 spins for free. That’s a huge number of spins that you don’t have to pay for.
Bonus Game
One of the most representative images that can be used when New Year is evoked, the bottle of champagne takes a feature role in Reel Party. It acts as a bonus game trigger, with three being needed at the minimum. You will pop the cork for that bottle and prizes will be awarded once that’s done.
Betting options and jackpots
If you chose to use the most coins allowed per line, 5, and you maxed out their denomination to $0.50, you end up with a $2.50 line wager. Since 15 lines are used total, their value is a maximum of $37.50.
That Baby symbol, which seems out of place in this game, is the one that can get you a 5,000x prize, the most this slot has to offer. It means up to $12,500 cash.
Design and symbols
Reel Party has everything you could want from a New Year’s Eve themed slot machine. You get fireworks in the logo area, you get all kinds of shots, glasses of wine, champagne, party hats and people drinking, including a redhead Marilyn Monroe look-a-like. I didn’t find any reason to dislike this slot, it has all the makings of a good game and it does give you a positive first impression.
Symbols: Baby (wild, 5,000x), Father Time (scatter), Champagne Bottle (bonus), Countdown (500x), New Year’s Hat (400x), Redhead Girl (350x), Blonde Man (300x), Food Plate (150x), Two Trumpets (100x), Beer Mug (100x), Wine Glasses (65x) and Taxi Cab (65x).
Is It Worth Playing?
Yes, it’s a fun game, but out of the two Reel Party games, I’d say go for the Platinum version. It looks better and pays better, though the wagers are higher as well.
Reel Party can be found at any Rival casino, where you get a chance to play it for real money or in free mode.
