Bone Raiders (Relax Gaming) Slot Demo & Review

Most slot developers have their own artistic style, and for me, Relax Gaming is one of the most recognisable. Even if I hadn’t seen the studio logo as Bone Raiders was loading up, I’d still have known this slot came from the team at Relax Gaming due to the graphics and design elements they use. As for the theme of the team’s latest release, we have a bunch of skeletal raiders with special powers attempting to raid and conquer an enemy (whoever they are) castle. In essence, it’s not entirely clear what’s going on, but who really cares, as it’s the features we’re interested in in this 5×3 slot with 243 ways to win, a 96.10% RTP, and a 10,000x maximum win.

As for those features, they are not in abundance, but the ones we do get to enjoy are lucrative, to say the least. Each base game win results in a re-spin with double the win multiplier, so stack a few winning re-spins together, and you’re spinning with some sizable multiplier values. As for the free spins bonus, this takes place on a completely new grid format with blocker symbols and coin values that double as feature symbols perform their magic.

I’m already confident that this slot will go down well with quite a few of you, so why not try the Bone Raiders slot demo below to see if you’re one of them?

Bone Raiders Slot Paytable

I remember the days when the 243 ways-to-win slot mechanic was a big deal, much like Megaways was and, more recently, the Scatter Pays engine is today. Other recent examples of slots using the simple-to-understand 243-ways format include Nolimit City’s excellent Loner slot and the Cats of Olympuss from Push Gaming. What do each of the examples that I just gave have in common? They have both received a commendable 8+ out of 10 rating here at Demoslot – so they’re well worth checking out!

The paytable on Bone Raiders is next in our review, and it is split between four high-paying character symbols and four low-value playing card suits. The Fiery Skeleton has a 100x return for five in a row, while the Bomb-Throwing, Cannonball-Shooting, and Compass-Bearing Skeletons all have a max payout of 10x. The four playing cards complete the game payouts and also share a max return of 0.3x the stake for a 5-symbol combination.

Finally, for this section, we check in on the bet selection. The minimum price to play is set at a low-roller-friendly €0.10 per spin, and the maximum has the potential to bust the bank at a whopping €200.00 a press.


Bone Raiders Slot Base Game & Modifiers

One thing to note is that the reel formats change significantly between the game modes. Here, we’ll focus on the base game, which has 5 reels, 3 rows, and 243 ways to win. Essentially, the aim, aside from triggering the bonus game, is to land 3 or more matching symbols on consecutive reels to the right, starting from the first reel.


Respin Multiplier

Whenever a winning combination lands during the base game, you receive a free re-spin with a doubled win multiplier. The first spin always has a standard 1x multiplier, but that increases to 2x, 4x, 8x, etc, for each consecutive win on the re-spins. The feature continues until a non-winning re-spin occurs.


Bone Raiders Slot Bonus Features

Bone Raiders has a free spins bonus, and the reel configuration changes drastically once it is active. Triggering this bonus requires landing 3 scatter symbols in total, with 1 apiece on reels 2, 3, and 4.


Free Spins Feature

The gaming grid is now 7×7 in size, although only the 3×3 section in the middle is unlocked at the beginning. The remaining positions are full of blocker symbols. Each triggering scatter will become feature symbols holding special modifiers that will play out before the spins start. Those modifiers, which can also spin in on the spins, will destroy blockers or double the value of coin symbols appearing on the unlocked grid positions.

The bonus starts with two spins, which reset to two each time a new feature symbol lands on the grid. Furthermore, each time 20 blockers have been removed, you unlock an additional re-spin up to a maximum of four on the counter and increase the level and effectiveness of the feature symbols. Once those feature icons have used their special powers, they transform into a coin symbol on the grid with a 1x the stake cash value.

  • Magic Staff: This will target a single symbol 3, 5, or 7 times at levels 1, 2, and 3, respectively.
  • Bomb: Explodes to target a 3×3, 5×5, or 7×7 area at levels 1, 2, and 3, respectively.
  • Cannon: Shoots a random number of targets in 1, 4, 7, or all areas at levels 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively.
  • Compass: Will either target all positions on the same row or column, all positions diagonally in both directions, diagonally in all four directions, or all positions in the same row and column.

Once the re-spins counter reaches zero, you win the combined values of all coin prizes on the grid.


Bonus Buy

You can jump into the above free spins bonus game at the cost of 70x the current stake via the Bonus Buy option located below the reels.


Pros

  • The bonus game is appealing.
  • A max win that is worth getting your hands on.

Cons

  • The design may not be to the taste of everybody.

Bone Raiders Slot Review Final Thoughts

What I enjoyed most about Bone Raiders was that I always felt like big multiplier wins were more than possible. For example, the doubling multipliers in the base game re-spins feature meant you only had to string four or five winning spins together to get 8x or 16x win multipliers applied to combinations. Then, the free spins bonus again with doubling coin values and an expanding grid always leaves you feeling like a big payout could come with a bit of luck. I know it was just the demo mode (unfortunately), but that bonus game delivered me a 1,600x the stake win.
