Younger Kiwis will not remember that there was a very popular place near Hamilton, called Candyland. We older blokes have definitely heard of Bill Coker, the founder of Candyland, a place where “fantasy came to life”. He opened the sweetest place on Earth in an old dairy factory.
Alas, after his retirement, his daughter ruined the business, and that’s why the younger population did not have a chance to enjoy huge lollypops and loads of candy. So, I recommend that you try the candy forest created by NetEnt.
I see this game as a combination of a Minecraft forest and a candy forest from a fairy tale. Here, you will have a dilemma of whether to eat the symbols on the reels or to leave them to form a winning combination. Either way, it will be delicious.
Apart from regular candy that represents the low-paying symbols, you will have a taste of fruit candy, which includes strawberries, oranges, lemons, watermelons, grapes, and plums. Wilds are the only uneatable symbols since they are made of gold stars and only substitute for other icons.
You will need some time to understand how everything functions here. You start with a 1-3-5-3-1 reel formation and 45 ways to win. Each successive win expands the grid, up to a 5×5 grid and 3,125 winning ways.
To win a payout, you need matching symbols on at least 3 successive reels, beginning from the leftmost reel. You can bet as low as $0.30 and as high as $60 per spin. This is a high-variance pokie with an 8,130x max payout. Reel Rush XXXtreme RTP is 96.06%.
This enchanted candy forest does not hide any witches that will try to eat you. Your only task is to create a win. A single win can trigger all the features on offer. You start with respins and then come free spins.
As you expand the grid, you unlock tiles that can bring you regular and golden mystery features. Here, you will reveal multipliers, Expanding Wilds, Sticky Wilds, and Wild Reels. If Lady Luck is on your side, you can end up with awesome Sticky Wild Reels and a 10x+ win multiplier.
You begin with 45 winning ways. Each successive win unlocks certain fields, giving you more ways to win. Each win triggers a respin. You can get up to 5 respins and with the 5th respin, you unlock the entire grid. This will get you 3,125 ways to win. Respins end when you have no more winning combos. This also resets the grid to a 1-3-5-3-1 reel formation and to 45 ways to win.
Each blocked cell on the grid can carry different mystery features. When you unlock it during a respin, it will be applied to your current spin. You have regular mystery features and gold mystery features.
When talking about regular mystery features, they are hidden beneath blue tiles. Here, you can get the +1x increase of your current win multiplier, additional Wilds, and bombs. When revealed, bombs destroy and uncover an extra pair of blocked cells on the grid.
Gold mystery features can bring you a +10x multiplier increase, Sticky Wilds, and Expanding Wild Reels. If a Sticky Wild appears on the same reel as the Expanding Wild Reel, you get a Sticky Wild Reel.
The most important thing to remember is that all Sticky Wilds and win multipliers remain active when you trigger free spins. This helped me record my massive win.
When you use all of your 5 respins and expand the grid to the max, you trigger the Free Spins feature. Initially, you get 7 free spins. Any bombs that did not explode on the last respin turn into extra free spins. Also, any active multiplier and Sticky Wild remain active during free spins.
Reel Rush XXXtreme pokie was extremely generous to me. I triggered free spins several times and my total win was never lower than 100x. In most cases, I got boosted win multipliers and Sticky Wilds. My best round included 9 free spins, a 13x multiplier, and 2 Sticky Wild Reels. I won 2,010x.
The Elevate feature allows you to buy certain options for different prices. The XXXtreme Spins 1 option guarantees 1 golden mystery feature per spin for 3x the bet. The XXXtreme Spins 2 option offers at least 1 golden mystery feature to be revealed on the initial spin, and that 1 mystery feature will be revealed on every respin. This will cost you 25x the bet.
The XXXtreme Spins 3 option costs 200x the bet. It offers 4 golden mystery features to be revealed and guarantees 1 regular mystery feature per respin.
Reel Rush XXXtreme pokie machine is one of the best pokies I have tested in 2025. The NetEnt title was really a breath of fresh air and I had so much fun playing the slot.
Even though the pokie might seem a bit complicated and the reduction of the number of winning ways may be a bit frustrating.
It was easy for me to trigger the features and I was lucky enough to land a massive 2,010x win, which is one of the biggest wins I have ever landed.
Maybe it was just Lady Luck, so don’t expect such huge payouts straight away, eh?
All in all, Reel Rush XXXtreme is something you definitely need to try. I rate it 8.7.
