Electric Charge

Electric Charge Review

Electric Charge is not the most imaginary title for an online slot, perhaps, but it is descriptive and fitting at least. Winning combinations of all kinds leads to electric discharges in all stages, and the Cash Spree symbols can land you instant prizes up to 2,250x per symbol. The classic visuals are decently done as well, and Oros Gaming has clearly allowed themselves to be inspired by Gameburger’s ultra-popular 9 Masks of Fire this time.

They have flirted with similar instant cash prize concepts before, despite having only 5 releases to their name at the time of writing, and the good news is that larger prizes don’t require a certain number of symbols to land. In addition, you can win up to 13,563x your stake, which is way above what 9MoF offers, and the bonus round multiplier also applies to Cash Spree prizes (bar the top-tier Mega prize). Overall, an interesting release that’s worth checking out if you’re into the instant jackpot concept.

Electric Charge Slot Features

The premium symbols pay between 1 and 2 x your stake for 5 of a kind wins, and the Wild symbol steps in for pay symbols to help complete and/or improve line wins. It cannot substitute for the Cash Spree or Scatter symbols, however, and landing 5 wilds on a payline awards 4x your stake. You get Mystery Symbols on a designated section of the grid per spin, and all mystery symbols turn into the same randomly chosen matching pay symbol.

The Cash Spree Feature triggers from at least 1 Cash Spree symbol on reels 1 and 2, and Cash Spree symbols come with values between 1 and 15 x your stake. They can also land as Mini, Minor, Major, or Mega Cash Spree symbols, and these are worth 25x, 75x, 750x, or 2,250x your stake, respectively. All Cash Spree symbols in view pay their values instantly when they appear, and the “jackpot” Cash Spree symbols can appear on reels 4 and 5 only.

The Free Spins Bonus Round triggers when you land 3 scatters on reels 2, 3, and 4, and this gives you a spin on the Free Spins Wheel. The wheel spin gives you between 10 and 30 free spins, as well as an x2 or x3 win multiplier for the feature.

The x3 win multiplier is only awarded if you win either 25 or 30 free spins, however, and the multiplier will boost any free spin win excluding the Mega Cash Spree prize. You retrigger the bonus round by landing 3 scatters on the same free spin.

Review Summary

Oros already has several instant cash prize releases under their belt, which tells you something since this is only their 5th release so far. Electric Charge is close to being a 9 Masks of Fire clone, but Oros has wisely avoided that by adding extra features and dialing up the math model quite significantly. You get mystery symbols on each spin in this game, which is a bit unusual for the instant scatter jackpot genre, and you need only 1 Cash Spree symbol in view to win a prize.

This is a bit unusual compared to most other similar games, and the size of your total win is not determined by the number of Cash Spree symbols either. You can land jackpot cash spree prizes up to 2,250x from a single symbol after all, and the free spins multiplier also applies to Cash Spree prizes (bar the top-tier Mega prize). The 13,563x potential is way above what 9 Masks of Fire has to offer, and overall Electric Charge is an interesting variant of the concept that may attract some attention in this overcrowded genre.
