Cosmic Rush: Hyper Hitz Slot Review

In March 1965, John Young went up on Gemini 3 with a corned beef sandwich 🥪 stashed in a pocket of his spacesuit. Partway through the flight he pulled it out and offered it to his commander.

Crumbs came loose, which inside a spacecraft is a hazard rather than a mess. They put the thing away after 2 bites, and Congress held hearings 🏛️ about it. Nothing I've ever eaten has been debated by a government.

Cosmic Rush: Hyper Hitz slot from Relax smuggles its own antique (look) into orbit. 🚀 But looks aren’t everything; let’s see if the game has substance.

Gameplay

"Old school" is a phrase that's bandied around quite a lot, but in this case it's appropriate. Still, it's better to have a fruit game that's based in space than the usual crap.

The 5x3 grid has 20 paylines, the RTPRTP stands for “Return to Player.” The RTP describes the total bet amount that a game returns to players over millions of spins, and that figure is represented by a percentage. Table games, such as Roulette, typically have higher RTPs than many slots.

RTP needs to be considered in conjunction with a game’s volatility rate. is 96.09%, volatility is low/medium, and the max multiplier is 5,000x. The max win is $250,000, with bets ranging from $0.10 to $50. Fiat only at this table, please.

At the bottom of the paytable, the Cherries symbol and the BAR symbol both pay 1.2x for 5, 0.6x for 4, and 0.2x for 3. The Bell nudges just ahead at 2x, 1.2x, and 0.4x.

The Horseshoe pays 3x, 1.4x, and 0.6x, and a mixed run of the 7, 77 and 777 symbols together pays exactly the same, which is a polite way of saying don't get excited about mixing them.

Then the sevens on their own. The 7 pays 10x for 5, 5x for 4, and 2x for 3. The 77 pays 15x, 7x, and 2x. The 777 leads the regular symbols with 50x for 5 and 25x for 4, then falls off a cliff to 3x for 3.

The Wild pays 50x for 5 of a kind and substitutes for every paying symbol except the Hyper Hitz symbols.

In the base game, Wild Pop adds more Wilds for a win or a shot at the Power Spin Bonus, which the Wild fires at random, so it's the most useful thing on the grid.

Hyper Hitz symbols only show up in the base game, they pay anywhere on the grid, and each one carries its own cash value of 1x, 2x, 3x, 5x, 10x, 15x, 25x, 100x or 250x.

Land 3 or more and you also collect whatever the Hyper Hitz Tower is showing, paid on top of the values the symbols carry. Only the highest win is paid per Hyper Hitz combination.

Hyper Hit is a base game bonus that adds extra Hyper Hitz symbols onto the reels and awards a Hyper Hitz win. That's the game building the combination for you instead of making you land it.

The Tower ladder starts quiet and finishes loud, paying 1x for 3 symbols, 2x for 4, 5x for 5, 15x for 6, 25x for 7, 50x for 8, 100x for 9, 250x for 10, 1,000x for 11, and 4,000x for a full 12.

The 2 space capsule / portal things below the Tower (green and orange) aren't for show. They're a collection meter, and collecting to one can randomly trigger the Hold and WinThis feature plays out on a new screen. Typically, you get 3 re-spins (which could be re-triggered), and the triggering symbols usually stick to the position on which they land. Your objective is to land as many symbols as possible on the grid (you could land blank tiles, too)..

The Cosmic Rush symbol collects to both, opening the Cosmic Rush Bonus with all special symbols active.

In there, 2 prizes run at the same time. Every Cash Vortex symbol shows a value that gets added to the Cash Prize pot, and filling an entire reel with Cash Vortex symbols collects the Tower Prize. At the end, both totals are added together.

You start with a 3-heart meter. A losing spin costs 1 heart and a winning spin puts you back to 3.

Collecting reels climbs that same Tower, by reels this time instead of symbols: 2 reels pays 5x, 4 reels pays 15x, 6 reels pays 25x, 8 reels pays 50x, 10 reels pays 100x, 12 reels pays 250x, 15 reels pays 1,000x, and 18 reels pays 4,000x.

The round ends when the hearts run out or when you hit the top prize.

Tower Boost

The Amplifier symbol raises every value on the Hyper Hitz Tower by 5x to 250x of your current bet.

Cosmic Rush

All of the special symbols run at once here, the Destructor among them, which cuts the number of reels you need to collect by 1, and the Exploder, which bursts and adds another 1 to 3 Cash Vortex symbols to the reels.

RE-SPINS:

On a losing spin where 2 Star symbols have landed anywhere on reels 2 and 3, a re-spin can fire at random. Reels 1, 2, 3 and 5 hold still while reel 4 spins once more, giving a Bonus Star a second chance to land and open the Hold and WinThis feature plays out on a new screen.

Performance

Old school is only cool when it actually works, but I'm happy to announce that nothing broke or splattered or shuffled along during testing.

Maximum Win

The max multiplier of 5,000x at the top bet of $50 gives you the max win of $250,000. The smallest bet you can place is $0.10.

Conclusion

Money lives in the Hold and WinThis feature plays out on a new screen.

Your objective is to land as many symbols as possible on the grid (you could land blank tiles, too). feature, where the Cash Vortex collection and the Tower Prize run on the same round and get added together at the end.

The base game isn't just the bus ride there either, because the Hyper Hitz Tower pays up to 4,000x on its own.

Getting to the max multiplier ain’t through the Tower and the best segment on the wheel of fortune falls short, too.

As for paying your way in, the Buy Bonus at 96.05% is the reasonable one. Bonus Hunter is the best Ante BetAn Ante Bet is an option that costs a percentage of your bet but increases your chances of landing triggering symbols that initiate a feature., in my opinion, because it shortens the wait and is the only option that doesn't cost you any return.

Hyper Hitz Charge runs the worst number of the four, and look at what it actually does: the charged ladder is the plain one shifted up a rung, so you're paying extra for tiers you'll reach the least.
