Razor Ways

This time, the game is getting a major update. As you can tell from the title, Razor Ways is a Win All Ways slot machine. Deep below sea level, you thus get to deal with the shark and his friends. Admittedly without the Nudge & Reveal feature that played a big part in its predecessors. Instead, you get even more features.

Unfortunately, the theoretical payout percentage goes down further to 96.36%. But the volatility remains high. So, is it a slot that should attract new players, or want to retain current ones. You can read how Razor Ways came out of the test in this slot machine review.

How to Play Razor Ways

Each Razor Ways spin starts a playing field of 6 reels on 3 rows. However, as you can see, this can further expand to 6 on 6. The win system is All Ways Win, so matching symbols only have to be on connecting reels, not on specific paylines. Bets can be placed from $0.10 to $100, but every time you open the slot it is set at $0.50.

For your winning combinations, you have four different starfish with low value up to 0.5x at 6-of-a-kind. The diver’s helmet, swim fins and diving compass give you 1 times the bet at 6. The four terrifying friends of Razor provide 2.5 to 5 times your bet.

Each time you pick up a winning combination, the next row of the playfield opens. As a result, you start with 729 Ways to Win, a number that can add up to 46,656. In addition, used symbols disappear so that new ones can fall into the field.

Bonus features of Razor Ways

There are an incredible number of bonus features in Razor Ways. They help you one by one to increase your chances of winning the maximum 25,000 times your bet. Since there are so many, we will keep our explanation of each feature brief.

Razor Ways compared to 4 other slots from Push Gaming

Wild Symbols

Razor himself is back as the metallic and golden Wild shark. Moreover, this time he brings with him a rather hard-to-grasp friend. That is a rock with spines that serves as an Expanding Wild. If you can form a combination with it, it expands across the entire unlocked reel.

And then there’s a golden letter “W” that you can see passing by. That’s the Converter that picks any symbol that is in your active play area. Both the Converter and all instances of the chosen symbol are converted to a Razor Wild.

Mystery Symbol

The Mystery seaweed is back in Razor Ways to provide your playfield with a random symbol. This can be a paying symbol, or a golden shark. In addition, if you have Mystery symbols on at least three connecting reels, you are assured that they will be golden sharks. And what those do, you will read below, as Razor will reveal them.

Razor Reveal

Every time a golden shark is in your play area, you trigger the Razor Reveal. In most cases, this produces an instant prize in the form of a coin. The value is equal to the number of times your bet. But other features may also be behind it.

After a reveal, you unlock the next row anyway, regardless of whether there is a winning combination on the reels. If there are new Mystery symbols here, they too turn into golden sharks and the chain reaction continues.

Each spin can yield up to 25,000 times your bet, but is a spectacle anyway.

Free Spins with Multiplier

While spinning, you will often come across a mechanical monster with the word “Bonus” in its mouth. Of these, you always hope to collect 3 or more in your active play area. That means you win the Free Spins bonus game. The number of Scatters determines how many spins you get, which Multiplier you start with and how big your initial grid will be.

Never mind if you trigger the bonus with only 3 Scatters. There are glowing mystery symbols on the reels. Of these, you need 5 to move to the next level with a higher Multiplier. Otherwise, the Glowing Mystery Symbols work the same as the regular seaweed.

Bonus Buy and Push Bet

Push Gaming gives as many ways to increase or secure your chance at features as there are bonus features. For starters, there is the Push Bet with three options:

• 1.40 times your bet increases the chance of Scatters.
• 3 times your bet secures at least 2 Mystery symbols.
• 4 times your bet increases the chance of Scatters and ensures at least 2 Mystery symbols.

• 18 golden sharks: 150 times your stake
• 3 Scatters: 73 times your stake
• 4 Scatters: 81.50 times your stake
