Rebel Paws

Rebel Paws: Slot Overview

Welcome to Rebel Paws, an online slot for doggies to throw off their masters' collars and take to the open roads atop big, roaring two-wheeled engines. Guess dogs can have midlife crises as well, or maybe the poochies in this AvatarUX slot are young'uns, not yet tied down by responsibility, free to roam where they like, do what they like, and pee against any lamp post they want. So, for a taste of canine rebellion and plenty of mystery symbol action, how about we saddle up for some bumpy road action?

Okay, so maybe not open road since Rebel Paws is located on a dingy city street of screeching cats, barking dogs, and sirens. Rock music cranks up when the reels are in motion as if Max has just hopped off his bike, rocked in through a bar door and is scoping the clientele before ordering his usual… whatever drink a dog at a bar would go for. Maybe not the be-all and end-all of animals acting like homo-sapiens, but Rebel Paws isn't without a measure of dogs hitting the mean streets charm.

Symbols hit the reels on a 5x5 grid, unleashing wins through a dynamic 3,125 ways-to-win system. If you're up for a wild ride alongside a gang of rogue canines, you can join the action by betting anywhere from 10c to $/€300 per spin. Want better odds at unlocking the bonus? Activate the ante bet - boosting your stake by 50% and tripling your chances. It's a high-volatility adventure, with the top RTP setting clocking in at 96.02%.

At the bottom of the paytable are 10-A royals, paying 0.5x to 0.7x the bet for 5 OAK, while landing 5 matching high pay dog symbols pays 5x to 20x the bet. Mystery takes the place of substitution as Rebel Paws is a slot that does not have wild symbols.

Rebel Paws: Slot Features

In this section, we come across mystery symbols, mystery respins, a mystery multiplier, free spins, and bonus buys.

Mystery Features

• Mystery Symbols - All mystery symbols that hit on the grid reveal the same pay symbol when the reels stop spinning.
• Mystery Respins - If a mystery respin symbol lands together with mystery symbols, it respins the grid a number of times equal to the number it displays (1-3 in the base game, 1-2 during free spins). Mystery symbols are sticky during respins, and more of them may land.
• Mystery Multiplier - The mystery multiplier wheel can randomly appear when mystery symbols are about to be revealed. It awards an additive multiplier increase for base game respins. The multiplier only applies to symbols revealed by the mystery symbols that form wins. The maximum value it can reach is x100.

Bonus Game

Landing 3, 4, or 5 scatters triggers 5, 8, or 10 free spins, respectively. Scatter symbols transform into mystery symbols when moving into the bonus. During the round, mystery symbols and mystery multipliers are persistent for the entire free spins duration.

Xpress

At 10x the bet, players can buy a mystery spin, which guarantees mystery symbols, 5 free spins for 100x, or 10 free spins with a guaranteed multiplier increase for 500x.

Rebel Paws: Slot Verdict

It might not be a twisty, mind-bending mystery that leaves you second-guessing every turn, but if you like a good riddle, you might be intrigued by the chance of mystery to be found in Rebel Paws. The mystery symbol is an absolute online slot old timer, having performed its 'what will it be' reveal for years in countless slots. Its origins might be shrouded in the mists of time, but the first time it appeared in a game must have been quite a thrill. By now, veteran gamblers and newbies should be well acquainted with this particular type of feature, meaning software providers have to try a little bit harder to make mystery symbols seem exciting.

The positive news is that AvatarUX has put in the effort to ensure Rebel Paws has something relatively new to offer on the mystery symbol front. Not only do these bad boys reveal pay symbols, but if they land with a mystery respin symbol, they stick and take part in a respins sequence, where more of them may land. Better yet, the mystery multiplier wheel may leap up on the reels like a loyal lap dog. The sequence has a vaguely Push Gaming reveal feature feel about it, but a simpler form thereof. And not simpler in a bad way since this set of features knocked together some decent results, and full potential is 10,000x.

There was something a little optically jarring about the gritty city street in the background and the adorable doggies on the grid, but not to a deal-breaking extent. The features, too, didn't seem overly gripping, to begin with, but they link together well, and the way free spins imbues a persistent quality means Rebel Paws is a slot that is able to reveal a delightful surprise or two when it's laying on its mysteries.
