Front Runner Link and Win Slot by Slingshot Studios 🎰 Free Demo and Review

Front Runner Link and Win Review

The people who are into horse racing tend to be rather fanatical about it, while those who are not couldn’t care less. Making a horse racing slot is therefore a calculated risk, since you are already limiting yourself to a very specific audience. Front Runner Link and Win from Slingshot Studios does not stick out in any particular way, and it does not come with a dedicated horse racing feature like some of the more engaging installments in the genre tend to do.

What you get instead are so-called Power Stacked symbols, and these are basically full reel stacks of pay symbols that can lead to full screen wins. The main attraction is obviously the Link&Win feature, at least if we are to judge from the game’s title, and it can land you a full screen jackpot of 5,000x your stake. The bonus round comes with power stacked wilds and coins, and the overall max win is 6,110x your stake.

The premium symbols pay between 4 and 7.5 x your stake for 5 of a kind wins, and the Wild symbol steps in for pay symbols to help complete and/or improve wins. The Wild pays 10x your stake for 5 on a payline, while the Scatter symbol pays 100x your stake for 5 anywhere in view. Pay symbols can land Power Stacked in the base game, and this can potentially land you full-screen wins.

You need at least 6 Coin Symbols in view to trigger the Link&Win feature, and the triggering coin prize symbols become sticky on an otherwise cleared grid. You start with 3 respins, and the tally resets every time you land at least one new sticky coin symbol. The regular coins come with cash prizes up to 15x, and you can also land Mini, Minor, and Major coins that pay 40x, 100x, and 1,000x your stake, respectively. Fill the grid completely to win the 5,000x Grand Jackpot.

The Free Spins Bonus Round triggers when you land at least 3 trophy scatters in view, and this awards 10 free spins no matter the amount of triggering scatters. The scatters pay 1x, 10x, or 100x your stake up front though, from 3, 4, or 5 triggering scatters, respectively, and only Wilds and Coin symbols land Power Stacked in the bonus round. This may help land you larger payouts, or trigger the Link&Win feature.

Review Summary

Fans of horse racing may enjoy what Slingshot Studios has come up with in Front Runner Link and Win, but there is hardly anything too original to be seen here. You get the Power Stacked symbols to keep the tension up in the base game, as near or full-screen wins can come out of the blue. That being said, the most you can win from a single spin via that feature is 300x your stake. It’s therefore too bad that the wild only can land power stacked in the bonus round.

Then again, perhaps not, as the wild does have a higher chance of landing power stacked when the feature finally triggers. The Link&Win feature is standard stuff all the way, with a decent 5,000x jackpot for filling the grid. It can trigger more easily via the power stacked coins you get in the bonus round, and the overall max win is 6,110x your stake. There aren’t too many horse racing slots out there, so fans might appreciate another one, but there are certainly better alternatives with even more focus on the racing part.
