In-Depth Preview – Arcane: Reel Chaos

Published on 17th April 2019 by Ben

Arcane: Reel Chaos is an exciting upcoming new game from NetEnt. This game is feature heavy and packed full of fun and interesting innovations. There are heroes, villains, and battle rounds. The game is set for a 16^th May release, but until then let’s see what it’s all about!

About Arcane: Reel Chaos

Arcane: Reel Chaos is a 5-reel, 3-row, and 20 fixed bet line video slot. The game is focused upon the psychic powers of four mystical characters, who harness their extra sensory perceptions and skills to defeat their rival Deep Pockets.

The theme of the game draws on the spookiness and eeriness of the psychic realm, with supernatural adornments strewn across the Arcane slot reel. The symbols in the game further draw upon this theme, along with the four main characters and Deep Pockets.

There are five lower value symbols which are your classic A, K, Q, J, and 10. The high-value symbols are Deep Pockets and the four main characters: Flare, Zero.x, Chrono, and Psyop. In addition to this, you also have the classic wild symbol, which is a glowing golden ‘W’.

The betting mechanics in Arcane: Reel Chaos is your classic video slot style mechanics. There are ten different bet levels (1 – 10) and seven different coin values (0.01, 0.02, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 1), which allow you to make a minimum get of 0.2 and a maximum bet of 20. This is not a huge difference between minimum and maximum, which will ensure gameplay is steady.

Arcane: Reel Chaos Game Features

Arcane: Reel Chaos is packed full of cool features, particularly the battle mode free spins round. Let’s take a look at these cool new features before the game’s release.

Psyop’s Stacked Wilds

When this random feature is activated Psyop will appear on the slot reels. When he does three stacked wild overlays are generated which cover a whole reel.

Zero.x’s Overlay Wilds

This is a main game randomly activated feature. When this feature is activated, the spooky priest Zero.x will appear on the slot reels. When he does, between three and five wilds symbols are created and overlay other symbols on the board.

Flare’s Multiplier

If the red-haired mystic Flare lands on the slot reels, then the Flare multiplier is activated. The Flare multiplier increases the value of your winning bet line by either x3, x4, or x5. The feature is only randomly activated when you win a bet line in the main game.

Chrono’s re-spin

The way that the Chrono re-spin feature works is by initiating a re-spin across all five reels if a no win is made. This feature will continue to be active, and the re-spins will continue, until a winning bet line occurs. Each time the re-spins occur, however, the multiplier on the wins increases, from a x2 multiplier up to a x10.

Free Spins

The free spins round in Arcane: Reel Chaos is activated when three scatter symbols land on either reels 1, 3, and 5. This round is one of the most exciting rounds in the game because this is when the four hero characters battle against the evil Deep Pockets.

This battle mode has four different stages, with each increasing the health points of Deep Pockets and the multiplier awarded if you beat him. The aim is to get through to the last stage to get the highest x4 multiplier.

Keep an eye out for the Arcane: Reels Chaos trailer over the next few months. Once this is out, we’ll let you know, and then you can really get a closer look at this exciting new game.
