The Squid Game juggernaut rumbles on today, but we'll have to be careful and approach this 10,000x max win wisely! This is Squid Game: Red Light, Green Light, and making a mad dash for it wouldn't be sensible given the potential consequences! Another reason to take it easy is the high volatility that could determine the outcome of your spins.
Full review continued below ↓The fear of getting shot for moving ever so slightly doesn't fill me with pleasure, but the promise of a 10,000x max win does sweeten things slightly. This game plays out on five reels and includes coloured piggy banks, jackpots, and a free spins bonus. There's also an optional premium play mode to pick apart.
To get things started, you need to pick up some basic wins and this happens by landing a minimum of three matching symbols on one of the 10 paylines. The lowest payers return up to 5x and the highest is 50x. Wild symbols substitute for regular paying symbols.
The highlight of the game, in my opinion, are the Piggy Bank mini bonuses and these appear when the four scatter symbols land and the result is a potential jackpot prize.
The blue symbol can give you the Super Piggy Bank Bonus, the purple one might award the Jackpot Mini Bonus, the green symbol may get you the Mystery Win Mini Bonus, and the gold one gets you cash values.
Between 10 and 20 spins is the reward for landing a minimum of three scatter symbols and these can be retriggered as you play. If the red light bonus is triggered during this time, then piggy bank symbols will stay in place and a respin arrives. If you fill all positions with piggy bank symbols, the grand jackpot prize is yours.
The premium play option brings a mini game whenever a win of 2.5x or greater is accumulated. You pick one of the candies to show a multiplier or pick up entry to the free spins bonus.
Four piggy bank symbols can trigger the mini bonuses at any point. The red bonus can grab you wins of up to 50x, and the blue will deliver mini reels and some respins. The purple game is where you can pick up the five jackpots, and the green mystery bonus will see the green symbol grow bigger and move to the centre before offering cash prizes of up to 20x.
Three, four or five free spins symbols can land at any point and award you up to 20 free spins. If the red bonus game is triggered, then piggy bank symbols will stick in place and you'll get some respins. You can retrigger the bonus feature and grab other mini bonuses. If you cover all positions with a piggy bank symbol, then the grand jackpot prize will be awarded.
With games that are frantically offering bonus features, it's hard to evaluate the win potential – are we looking at entertainment value or real cash prizes? With Squid Game: Red Light, Green Light, it feels like the entertainment and rewards are paralleled, so that's a tick! Things don't stand still for long, and I saw a few jackpot prizes get shot at during my spins. The free spins bonus also gave me a win of over 50x, and it feels like that 10,000x max win could be on the cards for the lucky few.
With a theme that's so popular, I always look through my fingers and wait patiently for a developer to potentially go in completely the wrong direction. On this occasion, Light & Wonder has nailed the anticipation of watching that demonic doll turning to face the contestants, but the rewards are far better than imminent death! The Blue Danube Waltz plays on repeat, and the familiar catch phrase rings out from time to time. It looks great on mobile phones as well, and you won't be disappointed with how this action has been captured.
Squid Game: Red Light, Green Light had the potential to be overhyped and underdeliver, but L&W has managed to do this one justice, in my opinion. The bonus games seem to appear regularly, and more importantly, they look keen to deliver big prizes.
