What are Colossal Reels?

Originally conjured up by the brains at US slots manufacturer, WMS, Colossal Reels started out as a feature on land-based games.

Since then, online versions of Colossal Reels slots have started appearing at some of the bigger online casinos.

With the Colossal Reels engine, two sets of reels are played on - a Main Reel Set with four rows and five reels - and a massive 'Colossal Reel Set, with 12 rows and five reels. In total, 100 paylines are gambled on each and every spin.

Features of Colossal Reels:

• Up to 100 paylines from as little as £0.01 a coin
• Stacked symbols on all reels
• Play on two sets of reels at once
• 'Transferring Wilds', which replicate from one set of reels to the other

Using Transferring Wilds

The benefit of having stacked icons means players can regularly bag lots of small wins. However, it's the presence of 'Transferring Wilds' that makes things a little more exciting.

Many slots feature Wild symbols - special icons that substitute for all regular icons on the reel to help complete winning paylines. Some slots feature 'Stacked' Wilds, which can fill two or three spaces on a reel.

Epic Monopoly II (WMS)

WMS has been putting out slots based on the popular board game, Monopoly, for years. However, Epic Monopoly II takes the Transferring Wilds feature and ramps everything up to 11.

If the player hits four Stacked Wilds on the main reels, Wild transfers will start, turning the ENTIRE corresponding mini-set reel Wild (e.g. Reel 1 of the main set has four Stacked Wilds - the whole of Reel 1 on the mini-set then turns Wild). That can mean 12 symbols turning Wild at once on the second set of reels.

Queen of the Wild II (WMS)

WMS's new slot, part of the 'Innovation Series', also features two sets of reels. Four Stacked Wilds again transfer over to the big reels.

However, there's an added twist with Free Spins Scatters appearing on Reels 1, 3 and 5 of both sets of reels. Any wins hit on the 5 x 12 set of reels are multiplied by 2. With spins retriggered, it means players could be looking at a total of 100 free spins.

Advantages/Disadvantages of Colossal Reels

Colossal Slots Online

Having 100 paylines, and Transferring Wilds, sounds like the stuff of big gamblers. But does playing Colossal Reels slots make sense?

Certainly, with two ways to win - the Main Reel Set and the Colossal Reel Set - plus the added bonus of Transferring Wilds, there seems to be ready money for the taking.

However, to really take advantage you need to be playing at least 60 of those 100 paylines to have any effect. With many symbols stacked (and super-stacked on the Colossal Reel Set) you're gambling on hitting lots of very specific combinations regularly. Many of the Colossal Reels slots also have an RTP% of around 95% too, which comes in a lot lower than other volatile slots.
