Redrose Sanctuary Bonus Buy Slot Review

I remember the first time I watched Mickey Rourke in The Wrestler. It was that 😱 “Holy 💩, what happened to his face” moment, and I know I’m not the only person who experienced that.

Rourke said that he went under the knife to fix his broken nose and compressed cheekbone – among other injuries – that he incurred from his boxing career. And this analogy is kinda how I feel about Redrose Sanctuary Bonus Buy slot from Evoplay.

You see, doing cosmetic stuff to a game and re-releasing it doesn’t do it for me. But I could be wrong and maybe the thing Evoplay has added is what you’ve been waiting for all along. There’s only one way to find out.

Gameplay

Redrose Sanctuary Bonus Buy slot from Evoplay is the original version with a Bonus Buy (BB) slapped onto it, so other than the BB banner, it looks the same. Under the skin, there are slight nuances.

The OG game offered a max win of €358,800, an RTP of 96%, and a top multiplier of 3,588x. This version offers €330,600, the RTP is 96.08%, and the multiplier comes in at 4,408x. So, pretty similar.

Both games have 20 paylines, but the new one’s volatility is set to high, while the older version was medium to high. For players who roll with Japanese yen or Dogecoin, you’ll need to pick another game to play as those currencies aren’t supported here.

You can play this Redrose Sanctuary Bonus Buy slot on a mobile device, in any orientation, as the large-ish symbols lend themselves to playing on the go.

The Wild rose substitutes for all symbols, except the Scatter and the ball-of-red-light Special symbol. On that note, Special symbols don’t pay but can increase win multipliers and participate in the Wild Rose feature.

Scatters land on reels 1, 3, and 5 and 3 Scatters set off the Free Spins round.

Features

WILD ROSE:

This feature can be triggered during the base game and consists of 10 rounds. Whenever a Special symbol lands, it activates a Magic Cell (look out for a red border). After the last spin, all these Magic Cells will turn into Wilds.

Landing a Special symbol on a Magic Cell increases the Win Multiplier by a factor of 1 (but this will be reset to 1x after the Wild Rose feature ends).

FREE SPINS:

I mentioned earlier how to trigger this feature, so here I’m going to get into the meat and bones of the round. All landed Special symbols turn into Wilds immediately, and these Wilds will become sticky.

The current multiplier is saved and applied to all winnings at the start of the feature.

BONUS BUY:

You’ve got a few options if you want to buy your way into the Free Spins round:

10 spins with a 1x win multiplier costs 32x
10 spins with a 2x win multiplier costs 64x
10 spins with a 3x win multiplier costs 96x
10 spins with a 4x win multiplier costs 128x
10 spins with a 5x win multiplier costs 160x

Performance

Playing Redrose Sanctuary Bonus Buy slot proved to be hassle-free. I rocked it on my laptop, tablet, and phone and there were no glitches, loading errors, or other pain-in-the-neck instances.

Maximum Win

As you know by now, the top prize is €330,600 and that comes about when you bet €75 and land the 4,408x maximum multiplier. Betting starts at €0.10 though, so you can start there or place at any amount up to €75.

Conclusion

Evoplay shoehorned a Bonus Buy into their existing game, so if you played the OG version, there’s not much of an incentive to play this one. The features are the same, as are the looks, so yeah.

My review of this new version won’t differ from what I said previously – the theme has a lot of potential, which could have been better exploited. Neither version is particularly exciting but at least you can comfortably play Redrose Sanctuary Bonus Buy slot on a mobile device.
