Reel Keeper Power Reels Review

Red Tiger has been persistent with their Power Reels range, despite seeing moderate to little success with it. Reel Keeper Power Reels is a dragon themed installment, and you’re taken right into the dragon’s lair. The Reel Keeper, as the dragon is called, flies across the grid at random times, dropping a full wild reel onto reel 8. It can also move existing wild reels to the left, and they disappear on the leftmost reel in the base game.

Red Tiger has always been a bit strange when it comes to the math model, but this time they’ve stepped up to the plate. A series called Power Reels deserve a proper max win, and 16,060x is more than satisfying enough in that regard. Perhaps this will help push the series more into mainstream view, or perhaps players are too spoiled for choice to care too much. Time will tell, but accumulating wild reels to the left in the bonus round was pretty entertaining for us at least.

Reel Keeper Power Reels Slot Features

The premium symbols pay between 10 and 50 x your stake for 8 of a kind wins, and the Dragon Wild steps in for pay symbols to help complete wins. The Wild can appear on any of the reels, and it pays the same as the top-tier Dragon Head symbol when you land 8 wilds on the same payline. The Wild does not pay for less than 8 of a kind though, just to be clear.

The Dragon Wild is not your regular run of the mill 1x1 sized wild, no sir. You will sometimes see the Reel Keeper Dragon fly across the grid, and this turns the rightmost reel into a full 1x6 sized wild reel. The Reel Keeper Dragon can also fly across the grid to move existing full reel wilds one step to the left. It can also drop a new full reel wild, while moving all existing wilds.

When the latter scenario happens, the already present dragon wilds move first, before the new wild is dropped. When dragon wilds are moved to the leftmost reel, they disappear as the next spin starts. If more than one dragon wild is adjacent on the leftmost side, all adjacent wilds are removed as the next spin starts.

You trigger the Bonus Round when 3 dragon egg “free spins” scatters land in view, and this awards 10 free spins. All Dragon Wilds are carried over into the bonus round, and the Reel Keeper Dragon can now drop Dragon Wilds from reel 3 to 8 instead of just on reel 8.

Dragon Wilds become locked in place when they reach the leftmost reel (or the leftmost locked wild), and they remain/accumulate there for the duration of the feature. Dragon Wilds that are not locked are carried over back into the base game.

Review Summary

The Power Reels series from Red Tiger hasn’t really taken off, and it has failed to impress despite the catchy name. Reel Keeper Power Reels might be a game changer in that regard, as this release did make more of a lasting impression. Visually, the game is back to the style Red Tiger is known for, as they have released some unusual looking games lately, and it doesn’t really stick out too much from the rest of the games in this series.

That’s hardly a complaint, however, and the Reel Keeper Dragon Wild feature does keep the base game interesting. Even more so when the bonus round triggers, as you can accumulate full wild reels on the left-hand side. This can lead to solid back to back wins, and 16,060x is finally a potential with enough oomph to be worthy of the ‘Power Reels’ denomination. Time will tell if this becomes the big break this series has been waiting for, and we hope Red Tiger continues in this direction.
