Reel Talent Slot Game

Talent shows are so 2010, aren’t they? I mean, how can you make a talent show “different” in 2021?

Well, guess what?! Microgaming have done just that with Reel Talent, thanks to some brilliant technical renderings and a fun theme that doesn’t take itself too seriously. If visuals are your thing, this may well be the slot for you.

Game Details

Players are taken to front row seats of an animalia talent show, presented in the form of a traditional 5×3 playboard, featuring performing rabbits, wolves and lions (amongst others), coupled with your run of the mill wilds and bonus symbols.

As far as stakes are concerned, players can wager as little as $€£0.10 per spin, while those of you with bigger budgets can bet up to $€£100 per round.

RTP

Occasionally, slot games with elaborate themes let themselves down with sub-par Returns to Player (RTP) rates. Fortunately for us this isn’t the case with Reel Talent, which weighs in at a very respectable 96%, which puts it just above the industry average and minimum benchmark we look for when selecting a slot.

Payouts

20 paylines may not sound like anything to get particularly excited about, but there are still plenty of opportunities to bag yourself a win. All you need to do is line up at least three symbols, ranging from playing cards and electric guitars that carry the smallest multipliers, up to singing lions and fire-breathing crocodiles (or alligators? Answers on a postcard) that offer top-ups of 15x and 12x respectively, when you land five in one spin.

Visuals

Reel Talent is a visually breathtaking game. The play symbols are beautifully crafted, while the spin-to-spin transitions are packed with extra splashes of colour and animation that help to create a theatrical playing atmosphere that is impressively immersive. The soundtrack could be turned up a few notches, however, and doesn’t quite match the visual grandeur.

Bonuses

Momentum is particularly important when you’re on the lookout for bonuses on Reel Talent. On the left-hand side of the screen you will see a column with the numbers 1, 2, 3 in ascending order, climbing up. If you land a winning combination, a symbol gets added to the bottom of the column, and you need to repeat this two more times in consecutive spins in order to trigger the bonus game, which gives players the chance to pocket boosted winnings via the symbols that got them to the bonus game in the first place.

Casino77 Verdict

A lot of visually pleasing slot games are let down by a lack of substance on the back end. This is certainly not the case for Reel Talent, which has plenty going on from the moment you hit “spin”. Uniqueness doesn’t stop with the concept itself, thanks to some fun bonus features that pull you further into the action. X Factor and Britain’s Got Talent have had their time to shine. Now it’s Reel Talent’s turn!
