Overdrive Slot Features

Turbo Reels

At the bottom of the screen, you’ll find three car dials with “Multiplier,” “Bonus,” and “Split Reels” written on them. These dials are randomly repositioned at the start of each spin to give you even more opportunities to win.

The Multiplier dial can boost any win by 10x
The Split Reel dial can double the number of symbols on a given reel. The number of reels split can be between zero and five each round, providing a maximum of 7776 ways to win
The Bonus dial boosts the number of free spins given if triggered on that spin

Wild Symbols

As well as the Turbo Reels feature, the Overdrive slot game has a Wild symbol which can substitute for any symbol on the board, apart from the bonus symbol. It’s even a paying symbol in its own right, awarding 10x your bet if you match five in a row.

Free Spins Bonus

Finding three or more bonus symbols on your game board unlocked the Free Spins Bonus. You can unlock four different bonus games depending on your bonus level, dictated by the dial at the bottom of your screen. While the game claims they’re different, they’re functionally identical, and the only difference is in the background design.

Players can earn between five and 25 free spins, based on their bonus level and the number of Bonus symbols they find on their game board. Take a look at our table below to see how many spins you can earn.

Once you unlock your Free Spins Bonus, you’ll be taken to your unique level. You’ll find a roadmap at the top of the screen, where you can unlock more free spins by finding Flaming Tyre Symbols.

Alongside the ever-present Multiplier and Split Reels dial you’ll see that the Bonus dial has been replaced by an Added Wilds dial. This dial can add anywhere between zero and five added Wilds anywhere on the game board after each spin, giving you even more ways to win.

Our Verdict: The varying number of free spins is a good way to keep things interesting when you find the Bonus symbols on your screen, and we like the fact that the multipliers and split reels stay in the game during the bonus round.

Play Overdrive Demo for Free

As an exciting new release, we would advise having a few free spins of Overdrive in our demo mode before playing for real money at an online casino. With online slots demos, you can play your way by altering bet sizes and autoplay preferences, ensuring an immersive gaming adventure. Treat online slot demos like your showcase of special features, offering a unique gaming experience.

Overdrive Slot RTP & Volatility

RTP	Variable RTP	Volatility
95.85%	No	Medium

The return-to-player rate for Overdrive is 95.85%, which is slightly below the 96% you’d expect to see for an online slot. However, there is no variable RTP rate, so you can expect to find that 95.85% rate at every casino. The game also has a medium volatility level, which may somewhat excuse its lower RTP rate.

Our Verdict: While many players expect an RTP rate of 96%, it’s close enough for our tastes that we’ll let it slide. A couple of percentage points more would have been nice, but with the medium volatility, we think it won’t have a massive impact on your day-to-day playing of the game.

Overdrive Slot Graphics & Audio

Graphics

Overdrive is intentionally reminiscent of old 80s and 90s arcade racers such as Rad Racer, Out Run, and California Speed, and to its credit, it has pulled off the aesthetic beautifully. It has managed to find a balance between looking deliberately retro and 2D, while still looking good. The backgrounds are the star of the show, and you’ll want to unlock the different bonus rounds just to see the new and interesting background!

Audio

In keeping with the retro aesthetic, the soundtrack is full of synthy songs that you’d find in all of the classic racing games. It even has an option to let you change the radio station, complete with the old radio interface. Pressing the play button has the sound effect of a car starting, getting you in the perfect mood to enjoy this slot game, and the other sound effects are subtle enough not to distract from the main theme of the game.

Our Verdict: We love the retro car game aesthetic, and the game pulls it off beautifully with both its graphics and audio design.

Overdrive Slot on Mobile

The Overdrive slot game was released in 2023, meaning that it is compatible with modern mobile devices. To enjoy this game from your Android or iOS device, simply download your casino’s dedicated app, or play the game from a modern web browser, such as Chrome or Safari.
