Red Mantis

Are you ready to open the pages of an interesting comic and enter a laboratory full of mad scientists and villains?

If so, load this 5-reeled slot from RFranco Group and start an exciting adventure of helping Red Mantis to catch them!

This thrilling adventure takes place across a 5x3 reel set while offering 20 pay lines and features like Free Spins and Fight Bonuses!

Theme and Symbols

This top-secret X-Lab lab is full of evil who will try to protect the Machiavellian designs from the activity of Red Mantis and harm humanity!

Upon loading the game, you will see a giant reel set formed as an open book, with icons created in a comic book manner!

The symbols show different playing card icons created according to the theme, as well as a briefcase, a red diamond, Red Mantis and her arch-enemy The Doctor.

The Scatter is represented by the blue safe with a red handle which you will also notice on the right of the reels, occasionally triggering the alarm when the symbol appears on the reels.

Besides, there are two other special symbols – the Wild represented by a black shadow and the Bonus fist symbol.

The whole action is accompanied by a suspenseful soundtrack perfectly following the theme. 

Betting Options and Other Functions

The second round in R. Franco Digital’s highly popular spy-based series, Red Mantis is played on 5 reels and 3 rows, offering 20 ways to win!

But, before you enter this thrilling story, you need to set your bets that range from 0.20 to 50 coins, which is not quite good for the high-risk rollers.

When it comes to symbols, the lowest-rewarding are the playing card symbols, paying from 2x to 8x the total stake for 5 in a combo, while...

...they are followed by The Doctor and Red Mantis, rewarding up 8x and 15x the stake respectively.

The highest-paying symbol is the Wild, rewarding up to 100x the stake for 5 in a combination, while also acting as a substitute for all other symbols except Scatter and Bonus.

Special Features

This comic-style game boasts two main special features, as well as an additional special option to Buy Free Spins!

To start with, there is a Fight Bonus feature that requires three fist symbols to be triggered!

Upon activating it, you will face different rivals with difficulty to defeat them gradually increasing. If you achieve the victory, the prize can be a multiplier of up to a 1000x the stake!

Choose your weapon wisely, because, if the weapon has no effect, the battle will come to an end.

Now, land three Scatter symbols, and you will remove the safe and trigger the second bonus game – the Free Spins feature that will give you up to 10 extra spins!

But, that’s not all!

During this bonus round, you also have a chance to fill the test tube with the "X-Lab" symbol. When you fill one of the tubes, the symbol that is shown on its label will be used as a wild for the entire round, plus you will get an extra spin. 

Conclusion

The developers at RFranco Group managed to create an innovative game both when it comes to its theme and design, as well as its Fight Bonus round.

It is a decent game, with average payouts, but an interesting approach that is surely worth your try.
