Red Mantis

Are you ready to group up with a fierce secret agent in order to prevent a dangerous group of criminals from taking over the world?

With Red Mantis by RFranco Group software provider, you won’t have to worry about things going wrong as this agent will always have your back and make your job a lot easier!

This title comes with a standard 5x3 grid layout, 20 paylines, splendid visuals and great sound effects.

Of course, it also comes with some special features – Wild Symbol, Free Spins, Buy Feature, Flasks and Bonus Feature!

Theme and Symbols

As soon as you start up the game, you will notice the background that looks like a comic book with plenty of interesting pictures.

On the reels you will see various different symbols such as evil doctor, Red Mantis herself, golden briefcase and a large red diamond, all representing the higher paying symbols.

While the lower paying symbols do come in the form of card symbols A-J, they match perfectly with the theme as they are done in comic book style.

The graphics are a bit different than what we usually see, but do a great job of providing an incredible visual experience that will most certainly keep you fully immersed during your sessions!

Betting Options and Other Functions

Moving onto the betting options, you will find a good amount of choices available which should be enough to accommodate most play styles.

With the minimum bet of only 0.20 credits, this one-armed bandit is a great choice for newer and casual players that prefer keeping their stake lower while exploring the reels.

The highest bet that’s set to 40 credits is a great option on its own, but some players might find it a bit low for their taste.

When it comes to payout potential, there’s a theoretical return to player of 96% which is about average nowadays, but with even the highest paying symbols awarding sub-par payouts, you should look forward to special features for that big catch.

Special Features

• Wild Symbol – The Wild symbol acts as a substitute for any other standard symbol in the game, and will help you form a winning combination with greater ease whenever it lands on the reels!
• Free Spins – Unlike what we usually see, the Free Spins in Red Mantis aren’t triggered when you land a set number of Scatters. Instead, each time a Scatter appears on the reels, it has a chance to open the safe and if it opens, you will be awarded with 10 Free Spins!
• Buy Feature – Thanks to the Buy feature, instead of waiting for the safe to open, you can skip the process and get to free spins by buying them for a price of 20 times your stake!
• Flasks – The X-lab symbol is only available during the Free Spins and whenever it lands it will help you fill one of the flasks that can be seen on the right side of the reels. If you manage to fill the flask, the symbol that’s located on the flask will act as a Wild symbol for the remaining spins.
• Bonus Feature – This feature is triggered when you land 3 or more Bonus symbols anywhere on the reels. You will then get to choose which attack you wish to use in each fight and if you win, you will get to the next level which also brings increased prizes. The bonus lasts for as long as you keep winning fights.

Verdict

RFanco group did a great job once again, this time with Red Mantis, a crime themed addition to this provider’s portfolio.

While some might find betting options somewhat limiting, the graphics and the special features more than make up for it.

If you are a fan of crime novels and comics, you should definitely give this one a go!
