Play the Buckle Up Slot Game

Strap on your helmet, buckle up, and prepare for some high-speed championship racing courtesy of Playtech and the Buckle Up Slot Game. Reminiscent of classic cartoon racing games from the early 2000s, Buckle Up is a fun little racing game with a retro slot spirit.

It doesn’t take itself as seriously as 24 Hour Grand Prix and it lacks the 1980s style of Hotline, but make no mistake about it, this is a racing game that is sure to have your heart beating that little bit faster as you enter the championship races and make it into the final straight.

    

Main Features

• Game Type: 3 Reels, 4 Rows, 26 Paylines
• Return to Player (RTP): 96.8%
• Volatility: Medium
• Themes: Racing, Sport
• Release Year: 2018

When Buckle Up loads, you’ll be asked to choose your Expanding Wild symbol and can opt for the Woman or the Man. It doesn’t impact the payouts and is purely visual, so you don’t have to worry too much about your choice.

Initially, the Wild appears as a Tire with the word “Wild” emblazoned across it. This is true regardless of the Expanding Wild that you choose. However, when it appears in a winning payine, the Tire will swap for your chosen Wild, after which the winning paylines will be connected and the game’s main feature (described below) will trigger.

Play for Fun

Buckle Up is not a bonus-heavy Slot Game. It doesn’t have complicated base game mechanics to learn or difficult rules to master. However, there are a few unique features here and if you want to try them before you make a real money wager, just click on “demo mode”. Available to all Casino.com NZ players, demo mode is a risk-free way to play Slot Games and see if they are right for you.

Play for Real Money

The big payouts are only available if you play for real money, so once you’ve learned the rules and are ready to strap into the driver’s seat, simply visit the Cashier and make a deposit. Choose from a variety of safe instant-payment options, set your budget, and confirm your transaction. Once your account is funded, you can return here and wait for the starting lights.

Jackpot

If you advance through to the final circuit of the Championship Bonus, you can win a payout of 160x per line bet, which turns a $1 stake into a $160 payout. And this is just one of the many big payouts available on the Buckle Up Slot Game, as the compact reels and limited symbols create numerous possibilities to win big.

Rules

• Coin Sizes: Choose from a massive stake range that starts at a modest $0.25 and climbs to a massive $1,875. Double-check the “Total Bet” amount, listed at the bottom of the reels at all times, and change it using the arrows on either side.
• Symbols
  • Main: Three Drivers, Helmet, Champagne, Checkered Flag
  • Wild: Tire Wild
  • Scatter: Championship Trophy
• Additional Bonus Rounds
  • Expanding Wilds: The Tire Wild symbols turn into the Expanding Wild that you chose before the game began.
  • Championship Races: Complete the circuits to win big.

Any win, whether it includes the Expanding Wild or not, will activate the Booster Reel, which appears to the right of the reels at all times. It’s an empty reel with arrows on either side and when a symbol lands in the middle of these arrows, it will trigger a payout. The symbols that can land here include:

• Extra Wild Booster: A Stacked Wild is added to the first reel.
• Level Up Booster: All winning symbols are upgraded, and bigger wins are triggered.
• Extra Symbols Booster: Non-winning symbols become winning symbols.
• Multiplier Booster: A multiplier is added to the total win and can climb as high as 25x.

If three of the Scatter symbols appear, the Championship Race will launch. There are four circuits to race through and with each completion, you’ll unlock a cash prize, including:

• Daytime Circuit = 80x
• Jungle Circuit = 100x
• Beach Circuit = 120x
• Night Circuit = 160x

Software and Mobile Experience

The compact nature of Buckle Up means it works perfectly on mobile. It’s like playing a little racing game, only instead of crashes and high-speed racing, you’ll get Expanding Wilds, Championship Bonuses, and lots of other goodies. It was clearly made for the mobile generation and you’ll notice that even the icons have been supersized and carefully spaced, making them easier to locate and tap.

Conclusion

Buckle Up may only have 3 reels and some straightforward rules, but it’s far from a basic Slot Game. It combines retro symbols with a racing aesthetic, a unique bonus feature, and an intriguing base main mechanic. We like to think of it as a modern bonus slot with a retro heart, and you’ll see just what we mean when you strap yourself in and start your journey.
