Reel Rush slot review
Reel Rush is a NetEnt slot released in July 2013. It plays on a 5x5 grid where only some positions are open at the start, and every win gives a re-spin that unlocks more of them. Five re-spins in a row raise the ways to 1,875, and one more win leads to free spins with all 3,125 ways in play.

How Reel Rush plays
Reel Rush is a ways game rather than a payline game, and the shape of the grid is what drives it. The reels each hold five positions, but many are locked when a spin begins, so the number of ways starts low. The symbols are blocky fruit, including grapes, watermelons, lemons, pineapples and strawberries, alongside five coloured symbols, and a wild substitutes for the other symbols to help complete combinations.
Any win triggers a re-spin. Each win in the chain also unlocks blocked positions. If the re-spin wins as well, more positions open, and the chain can carry on for up to five re-spins. The ways climb at each step:
- 1st re-spin: 135 ways
- 2nd re-spin: 405 ways
- 3rd re-spin: 675 ways
- 4th re-spin: 1,125 ways
- 5th re-spin: 1,875 ways
Free spins with 3,125 ways
The free spins are the end point of the re-spin chain. A win on the fifth re-spin unlocks every remaining position and awards 8 free spins. During them the whole 5x5 grid is open, giving 3,125 ways to win on every spin.
This is what makes Reel Rush different from most free spins slots: there is no scatter symbol to land. The only route into the round is six wins in a row, starting with the spin that began the chain, so each extra win in a chain brings the bonus one step closer and adds more ways along the way.
