Hyper Respins Review

We have certainly seen very similar games from ReelPlay before, namely in their cosmic-themed gemstone series called Hypernova. In this case it pays to not judge the “book” by its cover, however, as Hyper Respins brings plenty of innovation and fun to the table. In addition, it comes with a higher potential of a solid 13,552x your stake, which seems like a good start if this turns into a brand new ‘Hyper’ series.

The different colored gemstones set against the cosmic backdrop may be too cold and impersonal for some players, but the gameplay might just take you by surprise (like it did with us). The 6 Hyper modifier symbols can wreak havoc in different ways in the base game, and you even get paid for each symbol removal they provide. They upgrade cash scatters in the hold and win style Bonus Respins feature, and things can escalate quickly as each upgrade doubles the values of all affected scatters.

Hyper Respins Slot Features

You win by landing 5 to 15+ matching symbols in a cluster anywhere on the 6x6 grid, and 5 symbol wins pay between 0.15 and 1 x your stake. In contrast, you win between 10 to 250 x your stake from 15+ matching symbols in a cluster.

Winning symbols are removed via the Cascading feature, which gives you indefinite winning streaks as new and/or existing symbols drop down to fill the gaps. Wilds step in for pay symbols to help complete and/or improve wins, and all wild wins are boosted by an x4 multiplier.

You can land 3 different kinds of Bomb and Zap symbols in this game, and we’ll start with the 3 Bomb types:

• Bomb - removes symbols in a 3x3 sized area, making room for a cascade.
• Megabomb - removes symbols in a 5x5 sized area, triggering a cascade.
• Hyperbomb - removes all symbols in view, which triggers a cascade.

The Zap symbols do the following:

• Vertical Zap - removes all the symbols on the same reel.
• Horizontal Zap - removes all the symbols on the same row.
• Megazap - removes all symbols on both the same reel and row.

The special symbols listed up above are simply referred to as Hyper symbols, and the removed symbols pay between 0.05 and 1 x your stake.

You need at least 5 scatters in view to trigger the Bonus Respins feature, and the triggering scatters become sticky on an otherwise cleared grid. You will land blanks or new scatters per respin that follows, and all new scatters that land become sticky as well. This resets the respins tally back to 3 each time, and the scatters come with cash prizes between 1 and 100 x your stake.

You can also land Hyper symbols during the Bonus Respins round, and they act a bit differently compared to the base game. The affected scatter symbols are doubled in value, while affected blank positions, as well as the Hyper symbol itself, are removed to trigger a cascade. Your total win is summed up when the feature ends, and this happens when you run out of respins.

On a final note, non-UK players, and anyone eligible, can purchase the Bonus Respins feature for 80x the stake.

The 200 Spins Hyper Respins Slot Experience

You get to see a few base game wins involving wilds, before we purchase the Bonus Respins round close to the 1-minute mark. We got the minimum of 5 triggering scatters, and the feature plays out for the remainder of the 5-minute highlights video. You can see for yourself how we fared by hitting the play button below.

Review Summary

ReelPlay seems to have morphed the Hypernova series into a brand new Hyper series, or perhaps Hyper Respins will be a one-off offshoot, time will tell. Either way, if you can see past the cold and somewhat generic exterior, this game actually delivers quite engaging gameplay in all stages. It’s a well balanced release in that regard, as you get plenty of zap and bomb modifiers to keep things interesting and potentially lucrative also in the base game.

We like that removed symbols also pay, albeit not too much per removal, but everything helps. The Bonus Respins feature took us by surprise as well, as the Hyper symbols double cash prize scatter values while also modifying the symbol constellation by removing blanks. It all adds up to quite a neat experience, and this feature flies way above most hold and wins style features we see every month. Overall, Hyper Respins is well worth checking out, and we can easily see a Megaways, 10K Ways, and Infinity Reels version in this range as well.

Pros

• Cluster Wins and Cascading mechanic
