Red Sands
Red Sands is a 5 reel, 20 payline video slots game from Real Time Gaming. It is part of the Real Series of pokies of this software provider and it is available at Casino Midas for New Zealand players. The game includes a wild multiplier symbol, a scatter symbol, a re-spins bonus feature and other great features that will increase your chances to win. Coin denominations in the game range from 0.01 to 5.00 with a maximum bet of 100.00 per spin, making this game suitable for casino bets fans with all size bankrolls, from penny slots players to high rollers.
Theme and Symbols
Red Sands has an Australian outback theme with red hot sandy expanses in the background. The kangaroos will make you smile, particularly when coupled with some of the other well-known Australian creatures you will find on the reels, but otherwise you may be surprised by the starkness of your surroundings. Symbols in the game include a kangaroo, a moonscape, a koala bear, a wombat, an echidna and high value playing cards.
The kangaroo is the wild symbol and substitutes for all other symbols, except the scatter symbol to complete a winning combination. When it substitutes to complete a winning combination, it multiplies the win by 2. It is also the jackpot symbol and spinning five of these on an active payline triggers the maximum fixed jackpot payout of 5,000 coins.
The moonscape is the scatter symbol and it pays out when two or more land anywhere on the reels. It is the key to triggering the re-spin bonus feature.
Re-Spin Feature
This pokie is available for free and for real money. This way, you will familiarize with the game and you will be able to learn how to use all the special features to your advantage.... and there are plenty of them!
Spinning two or more moonscape scatter symbols anywhere on the reels, for example, triggers the re-spin bonus feature. The reels with the moonscape symbol on them are held and the remaining reels are re-spun up to ten times. The same reels are spun each time during the re-spin feature and improved moonscape combinations are not held on later re-spins. During the re-spin feature, only scatter pays are awarded and the kangaroo wild symbols can substitute for the moonscape scatter symbol. If the kangaroo substitutes, it multiplies the win by 2x. If five moonscape symbols trigger the re-spin feature, all five reels are held and the scatter payout is awarded up to 10x.
Skill Stop Feature
At our casino, players can choose among different types of slots. The Real Series Pokies, however, offer unique features like the Skill Stop. This feature allows players to click a button to stop the reels spinning at any time in an attempt to hit a winning combination or trigger the re-spin bonus feature. If you choose not to use this feature you can leave the reels to spin to a stop on their own.
Random Progressive Jackpot
Red Sands offers the random progressive jackpot that is common in real series of slots games. All players are eligible for the progressive jackpot prize, regardless of how many coins you bet with or what coin denomination you used. The random progressive jackpot can be awarded at the end of any regular spin. A portion of all coins bet in the game are contributed to the progressive jackpot which continues to grow until it is won. At that point it will revert back to its base amount.
Conclusion
Australia is a fascinating land with interesting creatures. One part of Australia that many people do not see is the outback. Its harsh conditions and long expanses of red sand may frighten away all but the most adventurous travellers. You can get a taste of the hidden treasures of the continent when you play Red Sands. Its great features offer many ways to increase your potential to win, particularly the wild multiplier, re-spin feature and random progressive jackpot. You never know when you might hit a massive progressive win so keep playing and you could be in for a surprise.
