Reactoonz 2

Reactoonz 2 is a sequel to the original Reactoonz, which was quite well received by gamblers around the world. This slot was released on October 1, 2020. The game has a space theme, but it is not at all what you would normally expect in any way. The content provider chose to give everything a cartoon-like look, which makes the aliens appear as cute little animals rather than what you might expect. They also added some very good music to the game, designed to fit the overall atmosphere nicely. It features uplifting music with a magical feel, and when winning combinations appear, you can also hear sounds made by the tiny aliens. The music is heroic and has an enchanting quality. The background is not especially remarkable; it is simply a large expanse of deep-black space with a few stars scattered across it. The game uses symbols that are not overly complex and are shown in a fairly clear way. They consist of several different aliens that vary in size and color.

Cascading Reels

When you land a winning combination in this slot machine, the symbols involved in that combination disappear, and the symbols above them cascade downward to fill the vacant spaces as new symbols appear. This process continues until no further winning combinations can be formed.

Once all winning clusters have been counted and the cascades are complete, the feature order is as follows:

• Fluctometer. 
• Quantumeter.
• Wild Pair Explosions.

Fluctometer

At the start of each round, a random selection decides which one-eyed symbol will be used. If fluctuating symbols are part of a winning combination, an Electric WIld appears in any position where a symbol was previously removed. The Fluctometer can hold a maximum of 11 charges. When it is fully charged, it will randomly generate 1, 2, or 3 Electric Wilds.  The Fluctometer is always active and can be recharged within a single game round, but it becomes inactive as soon as Gargantoon is released.

Quantumeter

Charges are added to the Quantumeter whenever non-Wild symbols are removed from the board by an Electric Wild. After an Energoon is released, the Quantumeter continues to charge, but after a Gargantoon is released, it stops charging. At the start of each new round, the Quantumeter is reset. The Quantometer can store up to 135 charges across its four charge levels. Collect 55 charges to reach level 1, 85 charges to reach level 2, and 110 charges to reach level 3, the fully charged state. Collect a total of 135 charges to reach level 4, the overcharged state.

Energoon

If the Quantumeter does not reach level 3, it releases Energoon Wilds onto the grid. At the cost of 30 charges, Level 2 releases a single 2x2 Energoon Wild. At the cost of 55 charges, Level 1 releases 4 symbols representing 1x1 Energoon Wilds.

Gargantoon

If the Quantumeter reaches level 3 or higher, it releases Gargantoon Wilds onto the grid. At Level 4, an x2 multiplier is applied to all wins, including Gargantoon Wilds; however, only one x2 multiplier is applied to each winning cluster. At Level 3, a single Gargantoon Wild measuring 3x3 is released. After a cascade is triggered by a 3x3 Gargantoon, its position is taken over by two 2x2 Gargantoon Wilds. After a cascade is triggered by a 2x2 Gargantoon, it is replaced by nine 1x1 Gargantoon Wilds.

Wild Pair Explosions

When all features have been completed and there are two or more Electric Wilds remaining, this feature activates. If two Electric Wilds are close to each other, all symbols except Wilds are removed. If the Electric Wilds are not adjacent, only the symbols between them and those around them are destroyed. Other Wilds are not affected. Removed symbols do not produce a reward, but they do add to the Quantumeter total.

Uncharged Wilds

Uncharged Wilds may appear on the grid during any cascade. Uncharged Wilds do not count toward winning combinations, but they can transform into Electric Wilds if they appear horizontally or vertically near winning symbols, or if the Wild Pair Explosion feature is activated.

As soon as we launched the game, we were welcomed by music that was anything but eerie, along with a reel set that was pleasant to look at and featured a broad variety of extraterrestrial creatures. We expected the atmosphere to feel a bit darker, given that we were dealing with aliens. Since we had already played slots quite similar to this one, we were curious to see how it would stand apart from the rest. Because most gamblers play this type of slot in the hope of landing a substantial win, we felt it was important to assess how well the machine performed in terms of the prizes it offered. To do this, we followed our usual method: we deposited 200 Euros, lowered the stake to one euro, and kept playing for around 300 rounds. The first hundred spins produced several solid wins of about 10 times our bet, thanks to the many bonus features this slot offers, and as a result we lost very little, only around 10 Euros. The next hundred spins were much the same as the first, with the main difference being that the biggest payouts we encountered were around 20-25 times our original stake. Once again, this was a direct result of the bonus features built into the game. We were still down by 25 Euros, as that particular session did not turn out to be very successful. During our final hundred spins, the aliens grew more appealing to us, and those extra features once again delivered a big win of 48 times our bet. In addition, with the help of smaller payouts along the way, we managed to restore our bankroll to its starting level. Although we did not finish with any profit after 300 spins on the slot machine, we were still quite satisfied with how our testing experience went because of the entertainment value this slot provided.

Overall, if we had to choose between the original slot machine and this one, we would pick the original. Perhaps that is because it was our first favorite and treated us very well, and it does not offer a lower level of entertainment than this slot machine. The bonus features in this slot are still as impressive as in the original, but in our experience, they paid out a little less. Maybe that is due to the slot’s level of volatility, and this time it was not on our side. All things considered, if you like the original Reactoonz or are looking for something new to try, give this slot a chance. Good luck and have fun!
