Razor Returns Slot Paytable & Symbols

Compasses, Diving Helmets, Anchors, and Periscopes act as the low-paying symbols, with a familiar cast of Blue, Green, Orange, and Purple Sharks sitting higher up the pay ladder.

Good old Razor – with a brand new golden dental job – serves as the Wild Symbol, substituting for all standard symbols to help create winning combos.

Razor Returns Slot Paylines

Here's a guide to all the paylines available in Razor Returns:

Razor Returns Slot Features

Nudge and Reveal Feature

Keep an eye out for the game’s Mystery Symbols. Shrouded in secretive reeds, these icons may appear stacked up to five symbols high and will trigger the Nudge and Reveal Feature.

Whenever Mystery Symbols appear, they will all open to reveal the same symbol, with the following types available:

Standard Paying Symbols: Increasing your chances of hitting a winning combination
Wild Shark Symbols: Again, boosting your winning chances
Golden Shark Symbols: Trigger the Razor Reveal Feature

Having opened to reveal their secrets, Mystery Symbols will nudge down one position on the reels and open to reveal a new set of symbols on the subsequent spin. This process repeats until all Mystery Symbols disappear off the bottom of the grid.

Razor Reveal Feature

Whenever they are revealed by a Mystery Symbol, Golden Sharks will spin to select a variety of the following prizes:

Instant Prize Symbol: Ranging from 1x to 2500x!
Collector Symbols: Collects and sums together the value of all Instant Prizes in view
Multiplier Symbols: Multiplies Instant Prize and Collector Symbol values by x2, x3, x5, or x10
Converter Symbols: Select a standard symbol and turn all instances of that symbol into a Golden Shark Symbol.
Torpedo Symbols: Increase your chances of reaching the Bonus Round.

Razor Returns Slot Bonus Features

Free Spins

Landing three or more Torpedo Symbols anywhere on the reels will see you blasting off into the game's Free Spins Bonus.

When free spins begin, reels two and four are filled with Mystery Symbols, which will Nudge and Reveal. However, the win potential receives a bitingly good boost, courtesy of the progressive multiplier feature. The initial level of this multiplier varies according to the number of Torpedo Scatters which helped trigger the round:

3 Torpedoes: Multiplier begins at 1x.
4 Torpedoes: Multiplier begins at 5x.
5 Torpedoes: Multiplier begins at 25x.

This multiplier increases by 1 each time the Mystery Symbols nudge down the reels – potentially leading to rapidly escalating wins!

Any Golden Shark Symbols in the Free Spins Bonus may reveal the same symbols as in the base game or a "Nudge Up" Symbol. These valuable icons will nudge all Mystery Symbols back up by one row – holding them in play a little longer.

Free spins continue until all Mystery symbols have disappeared from the reels.

Our Verdict: The Nudging Symbols-laden bonus round was one of the big reasons Razor Shark became such a smash hit. We are happy to report that the Free Spins Bonus of Razor Returns is even better, with the addition of Collector, Convertor, and Nudge Up Symbols significantly enhancing the experience.

Razor Returns Slot RTP & Volatility

RTP	Variable RTP	Volatility
96.55%	Yes	High

The game is available in five variable RTP settings of 96.55%, 95.40%, 94.49%, 90.55%, and 88.83%.

As a high volatility slot, expect a rollercoaster experience in a game with a fair share of ups and downs but superb win potential.

Our Verdict: That top RTP setting of 96.55% is nicely above the industry average of 96%, but the bottom two settings are a little disappointing. The high volatility may not suit all tastes but is an excellent thematic fit, and perfectly acceptable given the 100,000x max win potential.

Razor Returns Slot Graphics & Audio

Graphics

As you would expect of a game set in the ocean, blue dominates the colour palette, with a serene azure sea littered with coral, plant life, and maritime detritus providing the backdrop. A tethered mine meanwhile pays tribute to one of the game symbols from Razor Shark and hints at the explosivity to come. The light watery animations and fin-wagging fish are a nice touch, adding a dose of realism to this cartoon world.

Razor Returns (Push Gaming) 1 — Five-of-a-kind Wild symbols

Razor Returns (Push Gaming) 2 — Wild symbol winnings

Razor Returns (Push Gaming) 3 — Free spins in action

Razor Returns (Push Gaming) 4 — Epic win

Audio

The shuffling drums and dancing xylophones combine brilliantly to create an underwater vibe, calling to mind a number of animated ocean-set movies. All is soothingly peaceful until the slowly brooding tuba looms into the action in the style of a certain fearsome fin from Tinseltown.

Our Verdict: The audio and visual team have done a great job interpreting the light-hearted, shark-infested theme. However, compared to Razor Shark, everything is a little more polished, with both the graphics and audio effects falling into sharper focus.

Razor Returns Slot on Mobile

In common with its predecessor, Razor Returns is fully optimised for the small screen. Whether you are an iOS or Android user, you will find the gameplay, graphics, and ferocious features intact on your mobile device.
