Land three rocket symbols in the base game to trigger the launch sequence. Rockets ascend through the 7x7 grid, destroying symbols in their path and leaving multiplier trails behind. Each destroyed position becomes a multiplier spot ranging from 1x to 75x.
Match five or more connecting symbols anywhere on the grid to create winning clusters. After each win, symbols explode and cascade down, with multipliers remaining sticky throughout the entire spin sequence. Multiple multipliers on one cluster add together before multiplication.
Three free spin symbols trigger eight free spins where every single rocket automatically launches. This guarantees multiplier trails on every spin, dramatically increasing win potential. Bonus can be purchased directly for 129x your bet with 96.34% RTP.
After rockets launch, a UFO may appear randomly to beam up between 20 and all remaining symbols from the grid. This clears additional positions for fresh symbols to drop, creating more winning opportunities and potential multiplier overlaps.

Rocket Reels by Hacksaw Gaming revolutionises cluster pay mechanics through its unique multiplier trail system. Unlike traditional slots where multipliers appear randomly, this 7x7 grid game creates multipliers through rocket destruction patterns, giving players visual clarity on potential win zones.
The mathematics behind the system are compelling. With three rocket types offering different multiplier ranges (1x-5x, 10x-20x, 25x-75x), the variance comes from which rockets land and where their trails intersect with winning clusters. A single cluster overlapping multiple multiplier positions sees those multipliers added together first, then applied to the win value.
Free spins mode fundamentally changes the gameplay. Every single rocket launches automatically, meaning guaranteed multiplier coverage across the grid. With eight spins and consistent rocket launches, the multiplier accumulation potential explains the 10,000x maximum win capability. The feature triggers on three scatter symbols or can be purchased for 129x bet.
The UFO feature adds controlled chaos. Appearing randomly after rocket launches, it removes between 20 and all remaining symbols, forcing a massive cascade. This works particularly well when multipliers already cover significant grid area, as the new symbols dropping have higher chances of landing on multiplier spots.
Symbol distribution matters significantly. The game uses ten regular symbols split between five low-pay crystals (pink, blue, yellow, green, purple spheres) and five high-pay planets (purple, ringed blue, yellow, red, green). The wild symbol substitutes for all except rockets and free spin symbols, creating additional cluster completion opportunities.
The cluster pay system requires minimum five connecting symbols. Connection means horizontal or vertical adjacency, not diagonal. This creates specific grid patterns where corner and edge positions become strategically important for cluster expansion. Maximum cluster size of 49 (full grid) pays the highest tier for any symbol.

The base game revolves around accumulating rocket symbols. Two rockets on screen create anticipation for the third. Multipliers only appear after rocket launches, making the three-rocket trigger the key moment. Dead spins between rocket features are expected due to high volatility design.
Rockets launch vertically through their column. Central column rockets create multiplier trails through the middle of the grid where clusters naturally form. Multiple rockets in adjacent columns create overlapping multiplier zones, exponentially increasing win potential through additive multiplier mechanics.
With guaranteed rocket launches every spin, the free spins mode creates cumulative multiplier coverage. Early rockets establish multiplier positions that remain active for subsequent cascades. The eight-spin duration allows multiple cascade sequences, each potentially hitting existing multiplier spots.
At 129x bet cost with 96.34% RTP (slightly higher than base 96.30%), the bonus buy removes base game variance. Suitable for players seeking direct access to the primary win mechanic. The RTP increase suggests the bonus buy offers marginal mathematical advantage over organic triggers.
Rocket Reels is a high volatility slot with significant variance between wins. The 10,000x maximum win potential comes with extended losing periods. Only wager amounts you can afford to lose. Set deposit limits, take regular breaks, and seek help if gambling stops being entertainment. Players must be 18+ or legal gambling age in their jurisdiction.
