NetEnt Launches Adventure-Fueled, Hunting-Themed Video Slot, Rabid Randy

NetEnt recently added to their video slot roster with Rabid Randy. The slot is fueled by danger and excitement as players follow relentless Randy on his hunt for rabid animals in a haunted forest. Taking down his prey has the potential for tempting but still down-to-earth rewards of up to 19,000x the bet. The slot keeps the hunt entertaining with wild progressors, free spins with multipliers, and special symbols.

An Eerie Setting

NetEnt takes players through the twisted world of Rabid Randy on a 3-4-5-4-3 diamond-shaped grid where they titter a thin line between hunter and prey. While the slot’s blueprint is modeled after Rome: The Golden Age, the visuals are far from a depiction of Ancient Rome. The matrix sits in the middle of a grim, eerie part of the woods, with glowing eyes peering through the shadows. The dreary setting is darkened further by the cries of possessed creatures ringing through the woods.

Rabid Randy seems unfazed by the haunted atmosphere and pursues the crazed animals with a double-barreled shotgun in hand. During spins, the reels reveal an assortment of poker cards 10 – A, which are the low pays. Five deranged animals represent the premiums, while Rabid Randy plays the wild and can replace any of them.

Exciting Core Gameplay Features

The thrill of the base game revolves around Paw, Hot Paw, wilds, and the Frame and Active Frame mechanics. When a Paw icon comes into view, its position is highlighted and can randomly change into a Hot Paw. When this happens, the spot and those adjacent to it transform into Active Frames, converting into wild characters. Frames and Active Frames remain in view until the icons change into wilds or the free spins bonus activates.

Crossed Fingers for Free Spins

Rabid Randy collects any Paw symbol that lands on the grid. If the icon does not land on a Frame or Active Frame, it adds one point to the Collect Meter. If the character lands on a Frame or Active Frame, it adds one to four points to the meter. The goal is to achieve 200 points, which upgrades the free spins multiplier from 1x to 1,000x. The multiplier locks in place once the free spins start and resets to zero once it ends.

Three Rabid Randy symbols on reels two to four trigger the free spins feature, which starts with three rounds. Frames and Active Frames that have not turned wild when the bonus activates turn into Trophy symbols and award up to 50x the wager. The free spins end when no more Trophy icons land on the grid.

The dangerous hunt for these features costs $0.10 to $250 per round. Considering the high volatility math model, players can expect an unpredictable ride in this quirky world. It also has an adjustable RTP, with 96.06% as the highest rate.
