The wombat says: Are you ready to race? Fans of the Fast and the Furious movies are going to love Racing for Pinks from Microgaming, the people behind the Shoot slot, Thunderstruck 2 and the Alaskan Fishing slot. We’re in the same territory as the Drive Slot here (Multiplier Mayhem), but of course this game comes from another slot designer.
With its souped-up street racer cars on the reels all ready to do battle in illegal night street races, the roar of engines and smell of burnt rubber could accompany some high-octane cash wins for you! So buckle up.
Look and Feel
Shiny engines, hot chicks and guys in tight T-shirts are here in abundance, and of course, lots of flashy brightly coloured motors. The graphics don’t really give us anything we haven’t seen before from a car-racing themed game, but they are decent enough for a slot that’s over 4 years old. However, with today’s super-dooper 3D graphics from the likes of Elk Studios and NetEnt the design does look a bit old fashioned. You could try the Cricket Star slot if you are looking for a Microgaming game with more features.
Racing For Pinks Game Play
Microgaming’s Racing For Pinks has 5 reels and 3 rows and is a 243 ways to win slot – which means if you land a combo of 3 or more matching symbols on consecutive reels anywhere from left to right, and you win. It’s basically like having 243 pay-lines but without all the messing around…
The reels in the slot are jam-packed with racing-related symbols including nitrous kits to add the need for speed, souped-up engines, toolboxes full of cash, and the usual playing card icons. Then there’s the race cars themselves; the Chrysler in flames and the red striped turbo car are the better paying icons in this slot, followed by and the yellow hooded mustang, the green sports car and the black smoke-filled Sedan.
The Wild is the Racing For Pinks logo, and will help you to make extra winning combos by substituting for all other symbols on the reels – except for the Scatter. The game’s Scatter symbol is the foxy girl dressed in pink. Land 2 of these on the 1st and 5th reels, and you’ll enter the Free Spins round.
Free Spins Round
Say hello to 30 Free Spins in this bonus round, with multipliers between 1x and 5x! Sadly, the Free Spins can’t be retriggered.
Bonus Race Feature
Rev up your engines slot fans. If you land the Bonus Race icon on reels 1 and 5 at the same time, you’ll be in for some seriously speedy second screen action. Now it’s time to gamble on either the Blue or Red team to see who’ll be victorious in the street race.
Select the driver you think will finish first, and you’ll move up a level, plus you’ll get a x5 multiplier added to your total.
There are 5 levels in this game all with different prizes, manage to get through all 5, you’ll scoop a tasty x175 multiplier!
Conclusion
Just like its street racing theme, Racing for Pinks is a fast-paced slot, and as always, we do like the 243 ways to win. Plus the Race Bonus is a nice feature, particularly if you manage to get through all 5 levels… Strap yourselves in, and get spinning.
