Ragna’s Rock Slot Review

You know the stories about Alcatraz – the high-profile criminals incarcerated there and the famous escape of Frank Morris and the brothers Clarence and John Anglin in 1962. But did you know that the infamous prison is also haunted? 👻

Rumor has it that Block C – where a bloody standoff in 1946 left three men dead – is where you’ll hear clanging noises at night in the empty corridor. Cell blocks A and B are also said to be the scene of mysterious screams, loud crashes, and running noises. 😱😳

Then, there’s cell 14-D, where people were kept in isolation. There’s one account that claims a man died there and the night before his death, he was said to be screaming that a creature with glowing eyes was trying to end his life.

But now we must segway from The Rock to Ragna’s Rock slot from GameArt. 🎰

Gameplay

Ragna’s Rock slot has one thing to ask of you – you must have exceptional eyesight or powerful spectacles because boy are the symbols small. It’s made worse by the fact that the game has 7 reels and 7 rows and the high-paying symbols look really messy.

Things can also look pretty blurry on a phone but at least the square grid format suits portrait play if you like to take your games with you.

Ragna’s Rock slot works on a Cluster Pays system – wins are achieved by matching 5 or more symbols. These need to be touching each other vertically or horizontally. Sounds sexy.

The winning symbols will be removed, and new ones will fall down to take their place, hopefully securing even more wins for you. This action is known as a Cascade.

GameArt’s latest has a very high volatility rate so you’d imagine that to offset your risk, you’d be in line to win a considerable amount of moolah… and you’d be right! We’re talking €350,000 if the Viking gods decide to smile upon you.

The other stupendous stat is the** max multiplier, which tips the scales at a loincloth stretching 20,000x**. And then there’s the RTP which is 96.75%.

Features

RAGNA’S ROCK BOX:

Do you see that vertical meter to the left of the grid? Wins will fill each color-coded segment and trigger a modifier. Once you pass level 2, you’ll be awarded multipliers of 2x, 3x, 5x, and 10x. The total win multiplier is added to your earnings after each spin.

Here’s a rundown of each modifier and what they bring to the party:

Destruction (blue): Destroys all low-paying symbols
Swap Shop (green): A random low-paying symbol is chosen and all of these symbols are transformed into a different, random one. If there aren’t any low-paying symbols on the reels, any random symbol will suffice
Slice and Dice (yellow): A Wild is placed in the center of the reels and it creates two diagonal lines radiating out with the same randomly chosen symbol.
Explosion (pink): Up to 8 symbols are transformed into Wilds, while adjacent symbols are removed
Wild Berserker Bonus (red): This pops off when the meter is full. A 3x3-sized Wild Ragna is added to the grid in a random position. If no more Cascades happen, the symbol downgrades to a 2x2 version and then a 1x1 version

SUPER SIZED SYMBOLS:

If you land 4 matching low or high-paying symbols that are adjacent to one another in a square formation, these will transform into a big-ass 2x2-sized symbol. And your wins will be doubled if one or more of these symbols is part of a winning combo.

WILDS:

You'll come across a few types of Wilds in this game.

Random Wilds:
You could randomly see up to 8 Wild Ragna symbols dropping on the reels on any non-winning spin.

Wild Return:
You’ll see a random low-paying symbol get highlighted on each spin. If you score a winning Cluster and any of these highlighted symbols gets removed, it will leave behind two 1x1-sized Wilds.

Wild Rocks:
These look like blue discs and replace all symbols other than Wild Ragna ones.

Wild Ragna:
This symbol replaces all others except for Wild Rocks.

VALHALLA FREE SPINS:

You’ll be awarded 5 spins when one or more Wild Ragna and Wild Rock symbols land on the reels.

You’ll see a Free Spins Upgrade Bar next to the Rock Box meter – every time a Wild Rock lands, it will add to this meter.

Fill all the positions and you’ll add a Wild Ragna to the Rock Box meter (which, of course, does not fulfill its original function here). With each Ragna you add, you’ll be boosted to the next level, the size of the Wild Ranga symbol will increase, and you’ll be awarded additional spins.

Here’s a breakdown of the levels and what each one awards:

Level 1: 5 spins / 5 Wild Rock symbols needed to level up / Wild Ragna size: 1x1

Level 2: +4 spins / 5 Wild Rock symbols needed to level up / Wild Ragna size: 2x2

Level 3: +3 spins / 4 Wild Rock symbols needed to level up / Wild Ragna size: 3x3

Level 4: +2 spins / 4 Wild Rock symbols needed to level up / Wild Ragna size: 4x4

Level 5: +2 spins / 3 Wild Rock symbols needed to level up / Wild Ragna size: 5x5 / 5x multiplier

Level 6: +1 spins / 3 Wild Rock symbols needed to level up / Wild Ragna size: 6x6 / 7x multiplier

Level 7: +1 spins / 0 Wild Rock symbols needed to level up / Wild Ragna size: 7x7 / 10x multiplier

BUY BONUS:

There are several options to choose from and you’ll start by clicking on the FEATURE or BONUS buttons.

Bonus:
This is where you’ll pay 100x to buy the Free Spins round.

Feature:
Choose between 2 features for 15x, 3 features for 55x, 4 features for 180x, or 5 features for 260x.

Performance

I played Ragna’s Rock slot on Safari and Chrome and on all of my devices (tablet, phone, desktop computer) and it was all plain sailing.

Maximum Win

You won’t need to spend a ton of money to be eligible for the €350,000 top prize; all you need is €17.50, which is the max bet (€0.25 is the least). The largest multiplier you can scoop is 20,000x**.

Conclusion

Adjusting to Ragna’s Rock slot takes some time because the features and modifiers aren’t the run-of-the-mill. But that’s a good thing in my books because doing what everyone else does is boring.

In addition to all the stuff going on, you also have a lot of choice when it comes to the Buy Bonus – which is a welcome addition.

My complaint about the symbol sizes doesn’t hold sway if you’re playing on a laptop or desktop device with a decent monitor. But yeah, playing on a phone is a recipe for squinting.

But I have no complaints about the potential prize money, the max multiplier, or even how much you have to bet to be in line for the former; the stats are simply excellent.

The volatility rate might scare some of you off – but let’s be honest: this game was never aimed at newbies and the risk-averse. If you’ve got the gumption, then give ol’ Ragna’s Rock slot a try.
