The Top Four Online Slots featuring Tumbling Reels
Games featuring “tumbling reels” are all the rage in the online slots industry today. Every developer seems to have a different name for this mechanic; Microgaming calls it “rolling reels”, NetEnt labels them “avalanches”, and Pragmatic Play likes to describe the feature as “cascades”. Whichever term is used to refer to this feature, it always means the same thing – winning symbol combinations are immediately removed from play, potentially allowing you to win several times from a single paid spin.
The feature has become so ubiquitous in the online cazino industry that it is now used by almost every type of video slot; traditional line-based slots, Megaways, grid slots, scatter-pays, the feature can be found in every variety of game you can imagine. We’ve picked just a few of our favorites for this article, along with a few honorable mentions in case our picks are not to your liking!
Gonzo’s Quest Megaways – Red Tiger
It was a tough decision choosing between the original Gonzo’s Quest and this Megaways update, but Red Tiger’s implementation of the popular adventure-themed machine just has the edge thanks to it’s top win of more than 20,000x the current stake. The game uses a 6×7 reel set with the familiar 117,649 pay way count that is common to so many other Megaways games.
Every time a winning combination is removed from the reels, a higher multiplier is activated which will then be applied to any winning combinations that result from the next symbol tumble. During the free spins bonus round, the multipliers get even larger! Throw in an earthquake modifier that removes all the low-paying symbols from the reels, and you have an entertaining game that is certain to keep you interested over the long term.
Pyramid Bonanza – Pragmatic Play
This is one of Pragmatic Play’s most generous online slots, offering a maximum win well in excess of 20,000x the current stake. The game uses a 6×4 playfield with a unique “scatter-pay” mechanic, meaning that there are no pay ways or pay lines to worry about here. Instead, any set of eight or more matching symbols appearing anywhere on the reel set will award a win, which also means you can win up to three times on each individual tumble.
The bonus round ups the ante even further by introducing a new multiplier symbol with values of between 2x and 100x. If more than one of these symbols features in a winning combination, the multipliers are added together before being applied to the total win from the current round. This game is relatively unknown in comparison to the Gonzo’s Quest franchise, but don’t be fooled – it’s every bit as good!
Gigantoonz – Play’N’Go
This sequel to the hugely popular Reactoonz online slot takes everything that was great about the original and makes it bigger – literally! The charger feature is back, this time with many more unique features and modifiers to boost your winning combinations, whilst a new mega symbol makes it much easier to create large winning clusters.
Non-winning spins can receive an automatic boost from the Quantum Wild feature, whilst the new Quantumeter is capable of summoning the biggest reactoon yet… Gagantoonz! When the charging meter reaches maximum capacity, all mega symbols will instantly transform into Mega Gargantoonz, offering a top win of 10,000x your bet.
Dead Canary – Nolimit City
Nolimit City’s games have gone from strength to strength over the last couple of years and are now becoming a common site at the largest platforms on the web. The developer tends to concentrate on mature themes, and Dead Canary is no exception. The game uses an unusual reel set with 1,727 pay ways, although you’ll need to unlock many of the grid positions first to take advantage of the full quota.
This developer loves to pack their games with wacky features, and Dead Canary certainly has plenty to talk about! XBomb explosions create x-shaped shockwaves, which gives your tumbles an unusual cadence that can take some getting used to! The wild mining feature activates whenever you hit three or more matching symbols in a diagonal line, and there are multiple free spin modes to experience. The top win is capped at a hefty 65,000x the current stake, which should be more than enough to excite even the greediest of slot players!
