Razor Returns

Now sharper and more accomplished, the Razor Returns slot machine still unveils a horde of sharks, but this time they seem to have undergone various genetic mutations to incorporate fearsome bionic weapons into their morphology, making them even more ferocious. A dynamic soundtrack also contributes to the game’s action-packed atmosphere, while the seabed is divided between coral reefs and harmless fish, and destructive mines about to explode.

Taking every precaution, adventurous players will be able to wager between $0.10 and $100 per spin to play Razor Returns. The game’s interface has been expanded with 5 rows to provide double the number of lines, moving to a 5-reel, 5-row, 40-payline configuration. On the downside, the RTP is less thrilling, although it retains a very high value of 96.55%, and volatility remains high. In addition to the features we’ll cover next, the most astonishing feature is the potential payout of up to 100,000x the stake, enough to make you want to survive shark attacks.

Mystery symbols will nudge until they disappear from the grid!

Winning combinations are obtained by aligning 3, 4 or 5 identical symbols, lined up from left to right, on consecutive reels, starting from the reel furthest to the left. Four ferocious sharks make up the high-paying symbols, capable of paying between 0.20x and 7.50x the stake, and are complemented by marine accessories such as the diving suit, periscope, compass and anchor, which pay between 0.10x and 1x the stake.

Among its features, Razor Returns borrows some of the key elements of the first game, while adding some new and exciting surprises. These include Mystery Symbols, the Nudge & Reveal feature, Razor Reveal, Free Spins, the Gamble feature and the bonus purchase option.

Mystery Symbols

Mystery symbols appear on the reels in groups of 5, and can appear anywhere on the reels. When they appear, the Nudge & Reveal feature is activated.

Nudge & Reveal Feature

When this feature is triggered, the Mystery symbols open to reveal payout symbols, Wild Shark symbols or Golden Shark symbols. If payout symbols are revealed, all win lines are paid out. When players press spin again, the Mystery symbols will drop one position while the other reels spin normally. This is repeated until there are no more Mystery symbols on the game grid.

Razor Reveal Feature

When Golden Shark symbols are revealed by Mystery symbols, the Razor Reveal feature is activated. Each position containing Golden Shark symbols rotates to reveal Instant Prize, Multiplier, Collector, Converter, Nudge Up or Torpedo Scatter symbols.

These symbols have the following effects:

• Instant Prize: Bet multipliers with values ranging from 1x to 5000x the bet.
• Multiplier Symbol: These symbols multiply the value of all Instant Prize and Collector symbols on the grid by x2, x3, x5 or x10.
• Collector Symbol: This symbol collects the values of all other Instant Prize symbols, then transforms into an Instant Prize symbol at the end of the current respin. All instant prizes are removed from the reels after collection. Empty positions spin again through all possible prizes.
• Converter Symbol: This symbol rotates through all payout symbols currently on the reels. When one of the pay symbols lands, all pay symbols of the same type are converted into Golden Shark symbols, and the Razor Reveal feature will continue. When the feature ends, all converted symbols are converted back to their original type.
• Nudge Up symbol: These symbols can only land in the Free Spins feature. Each one moves the Mystery Stacks up one position.
• Torpedo Scatter: Obtaining 3, 4 or 5 of these symbols in the base game or in the Razor Reveal function triggers free spins. 3 Scatters give an initial win multiplier of x1, 4 Scatters x5 and 5 Scatters x25.

Razor Returns compared to 3 other slots from Push Gaming

Gamble Feature

Before the free spins begin, players can try to boost their bonus by launching a betting wheel. Higher winnings are possible, but so are zero results! A risk worth taking.

Free Spins

During free spins, Mystery symbols invade reels 2 and 4. On each spin, they move back one position, increasing the multiplier by +1. This multiplier applies to all wins at the end of each spin. New Mystery symbols may also appear to prolong the excitement. Free spins continue until no more Mystery symbols appear.

Bonus Buy

Razor Returns includes 5 different bonus buy options to access Torpedo Free Spins or Razor Reveal mode. These bonus options require a payout of between 53x and 275x the stake to be activated.

Dive into deep waters again

Push Gaming’s legendary Razor Shark has left a lasting impression on players, for better or worse. On the one hand, its potential for massive winnings made players dream, but on the other, its difficulty in triggering those big payouts may have put some off. With the Razor Returns sequel, Push Gaming faced the challenge of capturing players’ imaginations once again, while offering something convincing enough to surpass the original.

And they succeeded brilliantly. First of all, the game board has been enlarged, giving the Mystery symbols more space to unfold their beneficial effect on the game. What’s more, new symbols such as the Golden Shark add fresh mechanics that enhance the gameplay. Most impressive of all, however, is the winning potential, pushed up to 100,000x the stake, compared with “only” 50,000x for Razor Shark.
