Free Spins – As we said at the beginning of this review, Pragmatic Play always manages to wow us when it comes to creating mechanics to fit the theme and we think they’ve absolutely outdone themselves this time!
To get started, players must land at least 3 Bonus Symbols to kick off the race. Once in, the grid reduces in size to reveal the track with 3 horses with different colours racing towards the finish line! These horses all have a corresponding symbol that lands on the reels and when they do, they move a position closer to the finish line and get awarded an additional Free Spin! Once a horse crosses the finish line, a 3x multiplier is applied to all winnings, and an additional 3 Free Spins are awarded. Then, when the last horse crosses the finish line, an additional 3x multiplier is applied, bringing to total up to 12, and an additional 9 Free Spins are awarded – we see this as pretty much the afterparty for the race as you’re bound to have a great time!
That’s not all there is to this fantastic round! Symbols can randomly land marked with a wreath, that is placed somewhere in front of the horses on the track. Once a horse picks it up, they will advance a place each spin!
Buy Free Spins – You can also skip to the action and use the Bonus Buy option, activating the bonus round for 100x the total current bet. This option is available only in specific jurisdictions, so better check that out.
Ante Bet – Up the stakes, you say? Let’s race! Enabling the Ante Bet activates a 15x bet multiplier, which causes the gameplay to produce more Bonus Symbols. The Ante Bet is available in specific jurisdictions.
