RAZOR WAYS: SLOT OVERVIEW
Last Updated: August 20, 2024Written by Stephen Cummings
Due to the success of the previous slot games in the ‘Razor’ and ‘Shark’ collection (Razor Shark and Razor Returns), Push Gaming are pushing on us (pun intended) the latest game in this collection; Razor Ways.
We are pleased to inform you that Razor Ways is certainly an original and unique slot whereby the reels expand when you trigger a win, making further wins increasingly likely.
RAZOR WAYS: FIRST IMPRESSIONS
Lots of high paying symbols, a unique bonus game with repsins and expanding reels – Razor Ways has plenty going for it. As usual, the SlotsHawk review team played Razor Ways for real money which you can see in the video above. As the volatility tips more toward the higher side, we had to be patient before we hit some bigger wins, but boy it was worth it.
We began by using the xBet feature which increased our 50p bet per spin to 70p, this ensured that we would be guaranteed at least one scatter per spin. Given Razor Ways is a scatter pays slot, we thought this would benefit us. The slot begins on a 3×6 grid, but this can expand with every win. For every win you will get an extra row and more paylines, and the grid can expand to a maximum of 6 reels and 6 rows. We hit several very small wins early on and we were able to play on a 6×6 grid quite often. Unfortunately, this became quite frustrating as when you do hit the full expansion, music begins playing but if you do not hit a win on the 6×6 grid, on your next spin you will go back to the initial 3×6 grid. In slot games, fast-paced music usually means wins but too often it wasn’t the case in Razor Ways!
TRIGGERING THE RAZOR WAYS BONUS
However, after around eight minutes of gameplay, we triggered the Razor Ways free spins/bonus game with a x1 multiplier and six free spins. The bonus game also gives access to a multiplier level meter which we took full advantage of. As you can see in the video, the golden shark symbols help to increase multipliers, and the mystery symbols will fill up the multiplier meter. We highly advise you to watch our bonus game as we won a total of £87.65 from just a 50p initial bet after triggering an extra seven repsins!
Our total win on Razor Ways was over 150x!
RAZOR WAYS SLOT FEATURES
Razor Ways is packed full of some top-tier slot features which we have outlined for you below:
EXPANDING ROWS
In Razor Ways, there are three rows at the bottom of the reels that are always active and three locked rows at the top which can be unlocked, creating expanding rows. As soon as an Instant Win or Cascade occurs, the grid expands by one row. At the beginning of a new spin, the grid reverts to normal.
EXPANDING WILD SYMBOLS
Expanding Wild symbols can land on the reels or can be revealed by Mystery Symbols. These act differently depending on where they are revealed:
Base game – Expands to cover the unlocked rows.
Free spins – Unlocks the locked rows and expands to cover the whole reel.
The expanding wild can also have a multiplier attached to it from 1x up to 5x.
RAZOR REVEAL
Triggers when Mystery Symbols land on at least three consecutive reels or randomly. During this feature, players can win Instant Prizes, Multipliers, Collectors and Converters.
RAZOR WAYS FREE SPINS
In Razor Ways free spins, the grid layout and multiplier is determined by the number of Scatters that activated it. Glowing Mystery symbols may appear here. Each one fills the Multiplier Level meter. Five are needed to advance to the next level.
Full List of Features:
- Free spins
- Bonus game
- Expanding rows
- Expanding wild symbols
- Razor Reveal
- Instant wins
- Mystery symbols
- Glowing mystery symbols
- Multiplier level meter
- Expanding rows
- Cascades
- Push bet
RAZOR WAYS RETURN TO PLAYER (RTP) AND MAXIMUM PAYOUTS
As with all Push Gaming slots, Razor Ways has an adjustable RTP of 96.36% and 94.32%. This is only adjustable by the casino.
The maximum potential payout available in Razor Ways is 25,000x, this qualifies Razor Ways one of the best paying slots available.
STRATEGIES WHEN PLAYING RAZOR WAYS FOR REAL MONEY
Our first piece of advice here is to be patient. When we played Razor Ways, we were £40 down before we triggered the bonus game which resulted in a win of over £85. The expanding grid aspect means that it gets progressively easier to trigger wins.
We also advise playing Razor Ways at an online casino that allows you to play Razor Ways at its optimal RTP of 96.36%. Casumo casino lets you do this so the SlotsHawk top tip is to play at Casumo.
EXTRA INFO
Razor Ways is a scatter Pays slot and is played on a 6×6 grid but there is the possibility that the grid will expand. The variance/volatility is medium/high, so there are higher variance slots available if that’s what you are looking for. The minimum bet of Razor Ways is 10p per spin and the maximum bet is £4.50 per spin -for British players playing in the UK. The release date is set for 07/08/2024 and the slot has been developed by Push Gaming.
THE SLOTSHAWK VERDICT
“Push Gaming have done an excellent job here. Razor Ways is a lot of fun and SlotsHawk were pleasantly surprised with how Push Gaming have been able to improve upon the original slots in the series.”
