Rocket Returns is a strange slot/arcade game hybrid - the game engine is a 9 reel, diamond set up with pixelated single, double and treble bars and orange and blue 7 symbols spinning around them. To make a winner, you need to land at least 4 symbols in combination.
Appearing on reel 5 only (right in the middle of the honeycomb), the stick of dynamite is the game's wild. As well as substituting for all other symbols bar the bonus, it will also boost any payline in which it appears with a 1x, 2x or 3x multiplier.
Look out for the stripy firework symbol - when it lands on reels 1, 5 and 9, you'll trigger the Free Games feature. Here you'll be awarded an initial tally of 5 free spins. You can re-trigger more so hope to see those fireworks blast back into view: 1 firework awards 1 extra spin, 2 gets you another 2 with an extra 5 on offer if you land 3 bonuses. The wild multipliers are in play during the feature too. This time the multipliers on are offer are 1x, 2x, 3x or 5x.
On the variance scale, we'd out Rocket Returns somewhere in the low to medium range - the bonus feature may only offer 5 free spins but we regularly re-triggered even more. Combine that with the 228 ways to win game engine and the possibility of boosting your wins with a 5x multiplier and Rocket Returns becomes a much more enticing prospect.
Don't let the retro graphics and unorthodox reels put you off - Rocket Returns may look nothing like a traditional video slot but it can still deliver some explosive, out of this world action. If you prefer more traditional gameplay, Lady Robin Hood, by Bally, is a good option.
