Rednex KO | Slot Demo & Review ➤ Green Jade Games

Rednex KO slot review

Based on the smash hit 'Cotton Eye Joe' by a Swedish eurodance band, Rednex KO is a fascinating reel adventure, packed with exciting features and trademarked Green Jade Games' mechanics. Rednex had been dominating music charts in the mid-90s, for the most part, thanks to the remix of a traditional 19th-century folk song 'Cotton-Eyed Joe', and the self-titled slot conveys the jolly atmosphere and, in the manner of the song, takes players to the deep south to have some fun.

Rednex KO - Slot Outlook

With a Hillbilly theme and cartoonish graphics, Rednex KO is a superbly designed slot. Loading the game will take players to a massive 6x4 grid with 50 ways to play, set in a barn, while the backdrop showcases a rural setting. A constant loop of the 'Cotton Eye Joe' will accompany you whilst you spin the reels to keep you in the right mood during the session. It makes you feel like dancing at first, though, after some tens of minutes it's likely to become a bit annoying, so the mute button will come to the rescue.

Rednex KO Reel Screen

Playable on any device, Rednex KO offers a betting range of 0.5$ to 25$ per spin. It's powered by the medium-high volatile math model, while the payback percentage varies between 93% and 97%. Rednex KO comes in three RTP versions, namely 93.02%, 95.1%, and 97.2%, and operators are free to choose and offer any of them, so be sure to check the stats before depositing. The maximum potential is decent and all players can hit a win of 4,000x of the bet on a single spin here.

The symbol collections consist of 9 regular symbols, split into 2 categories. The paytable starts on the lower end with classic A-J royals, which are followed in ascending order by skulls, beer cans, banjos, countrymen, and cowgirls. Scoring wins requires landing at least 3 instances of the same symbol on a single payline, while 6 are needed for full combos. Low-paying symbols are worth from 2x to 12x for 6-of-a-kind combinations, and premiums from 14x to 80x.

Rednex KO - Bonus Features

Dancing Wilds Respins Feature

Helping you to form winning combos is the Wild symbol, which does not only substitute for any other regular symbols but also triggers respins. They can land anywhere onto the grid during the base game except for reel 1, and whenever they do, the Dancing Wilds feature is triggered. The reels then respin and Wilds move one position to the right until they fade from the grid. Wilds start with a 1x multiplier attached to them, and the multiplier increases by 1x on every move. Moreover, all Scatter symbols landing anywhere in view during the respins become Sticky, and if there is a Scatter on the Wild symbol's path, it jumps over it while increasing its multiplier.

Speaking of Scatters, they are the key to triggering the bonus game. True to Green Jade Games' style, triggering bonuses requires aligning special symbols, and the trademarked Knock Out feature is how you are supposed to do that. Speakers on the right side of the screen act as a meter, displaying 10 chargeable lights. It takes 5 paid spins to charge one light, which is used to smash symbols to align Scatters. Clicking on a symbol will remove it from the grid, while upper symbols will tumble down.

Furthermore, if a special symbol is above a reel within 3 smashes, a hint above the reel will appear, displaying a suitcase symbol, to help you create a row of Scatters. Aligning 3 suitcase Scatters will award an instant cash prize of 2,5x + part of the Skill Balance Pot, while 4, 5, and 6 Scatters will trigger the Dynamite Fishing Bonus Game. 4, 5, and 6 suitcase symbols award 4, 6, and 8 dynamite throws for the bonus game. Throwing explosives into the lake will make fish pop up to the surface revealing random cash prizes. Each dynamite stick grants a random prize, while the last throw includes a prize + part from the SBP.

As for the Skill Balance Pot, it's another trademarked mechanic from Green Jade Games, helping players win better prizes. Every potential win with aligned suitcase symbols that has been missed goes to the SBP. This happens in case Scatters could have been aligned with up to 10 smashes, but the player missed or lacked the opportunity to do that.

Rednex KO - Slot Verdict

Rednex KO is surely a nice addition to Green Jade Games' KO suite of games. While the Skill Balance Pot and the Knock Out mechanics are something we've seen a lot from the developers, Dancing Wilds and Dynamite Fishing are the features that are worth special mentioning here. Both are super exciting and are capable of delivering tasty payouts. Respins and increasing multipliers will keep you in the right mood during the base game, and the bonus game only delivers an extra layer of entertainment with the crazy hillbilly fishing. However, the theme will probably be the main reason why players will feel drawn to spin the reels on it, and we have to pay credits to Green Jade Games for executing it so flawlessly.
