Review
Experience a blast from the past with a futuristic twist on the slot from Yggdrasil Gaming. Neon Rush Splitz combines the 80s neon era with a steampunk feel, all on a 5×3 reel set with their proprietary Splitz mechanic. A racing motorcyclist will take you on a high-volatility ride through a sprawling metropolis with six fixed jackpots and a free spins round that can lead to wins of up to 25,676 times your bet.
Slot Details
Neon Rush Splitz is a video slot with five reels, three rows and 10 pay lines. Wins are awarded for 3 to 15 matching symbols on a line from left to right only, courtesy of the Splitz mechanic (more to that shortly). Getting your dose of the 80s retro blast on desktop or mobile will cost you minimum 0.10 credits and at the most 40 credits per spin. The game has high volatility with an RTP of 96.30%.
Visually, the game is a feast of the eyes for those into the 80s neon era. Yggdrasil converted the theme into a modern-looking design with a sprawling metropolis at night in the background and a female motorcyclist cheering you on on the side of the game window. The symbols are all in the typical geometric shape that was so prevalent during that time. Completing the design is a synthpop tune as the main audio.
The pay symbols fit into the futuristic theme with triangles, diamonds, and hexagons at the low end. They are complemented by shards in pink and green colours, both being the most lucrative with a huge 500x your bet for a 15 of a kind. A geometric W acts as the wild symbol, which can only be revealed by a Splitz symbol. A neon-coloured Free Spins icon is the scatter while the Splitz symbol resembles the $ sign.
Neon Rush Splitz Slot Features
The game is after Temple Stacks Splitz the second release from Yggdrasil that showcases their proprietary reel mechanic and its versatility. While the first was expanding the ways to win, Neon Rush Splitz will increase the number of pay symbols on a line, potentially creating combinations of up to 15 of a kind.
Core to the gameplay is the Splitz mechanic. Any Splitz icon landing on a reel will unveil 1 – 5 regular pay symbols, wilds or jackpot symbols. All in view will always reveal the same symbol although each will split into a random number of symbols based on the reel they land on. Hitting five on a line can thus lead to the mentioned 15 of a kind.
- Reel 1: Will always reveal one symbol
- Reel 2: Up to two symbols
- Reel 3: Up to three symbols
- Reel 4: Up to four symbols
- Reel 5: Up to five symbols
The Splitz icons can reveal jackpot symbols at which point the progress bar with six fixed jackpots at the top of the game window will activate. Each Splitz icon in view will consecutively unveil a random number of jackpot symbols based on the same principle as for pay symbols. Each is added to the progress bar with minimum five needed to win the smallest jackpot:
- Rush Jackpot – 5 symbols: Pays 5x your total bet
- Neon Jackpot – 6 symbols: Pays 20x your total bet
- Hyper Jackpot – 7 symbols: Pays 50x your total bet
- Mega Jackpot – 8 symbols: Pays 100x your total bet
- Superior Jackpot – 9 symbols: Pays 500x your total bet
- Ultra Jackpot – 10 symbols: Pays 25,000x your total bet
Landing three, four or five scatters anywhere on the reels in one spin will trigger 10, 20 and 30 Free Spins respectively, which cannot be retriggered. The main kicker during the bonus round is that the Splitz icons will reveal only wild or jackpot symbols, significantly increasing the chance to win one of the jackpots.
Final Verdict
Neon Rush Splitz is a testament to the versatility of the Splitz game engine that Yggdrasil developed in 2019, probably with an eye on the Megaways frenzy that has unfolded in the last years. At the core is a mechanic that converts the reel set into a variable format and thus increasing the suspense for every spin. Hitting a 15 of a kind makes a massive difference to just a 5OAK, a whopping 498x bet on this slot. The overall win potential is well north of 20,000 which should please the hardcore fans.
