The chilled-out 80s soundtrack and warm Californian colours ease you into the game when you start spinning. The game is set at an outdoor gym that looks like Muscle Beach in Venice, LA, a popular spot for bodybuilders. You see the various animals working out with some hefty weights. All of the artwork has a retro 80s style. The Lion is the hero of the game and seems to be the owner of the gym. There are other less friendly-looking animal bodybuilders who make appearances during the Free Spins bonus rounds.

Talking about the Free Spins bonus round, the vibe changes as it turns to the night. The animals are armed with weapons and the music speeds up. The action takes place under neon lights in the outdoor gym and there are people partying in the background.

On the reels, there are various 80s fitness equipment, including roller boots, a kettlebell, weights and that classic symbol of the 80s…… a ghetto blaster. 

The Lion is the highest-value symbol on the grid, and here is a rundown of all of the symbols and their values:

• Lion: 3 = 1.00, 4 = 4.00, 5 = 10.00, 6 = 25.00 x the bet
• Ghetto blaster: 3 = 0.80, 4 = 2.00, 5 = 5.00 and 6 = 10.00
• Weights: 3 = 0.70, 4 = 1.50, 5 = 4.00 and 6 = 7.50 x the bet
• Roller Boots: 3 = 0.60, 4 = 1.20, 5 = 3.00 and 6 = 5.00 x the bet
• Kettlebell: 3 = 0.50, 4 = 1.00, 5 = 1.50 and 6 = 2.50 x the bet
• A, K, Q, J and 10: 3 = 0.10, 4 = 0.20, 5 = 0.50 and 6 = 1.00 x the bet
• Wild: substitutes for all other symbols

Beast Mode Mobile

The Beast Mode slot uses HTML5 technology, which means that you can be assured of an enjoyable mobile gaming experience whether you're using Android or iOS. The game also plays well on tablet and desktop.

There are tonnes of features to enjoy as part of the Beast Mode slot so let's take a look at them:

Random Mystery Spin

This is triggered randomly during the base game and guarantees that at least 1 mystery symbol will land. Any mystery symbols reveal the same symbol and the mystery spin continues as long as you get wins on any symbol. The Revealed Mystery symbols will be replaced with new mystery symbols after each cascade. 

Free Spins

This bonus round is triggered when landing 3 or 4 bonus symbols. If triggered with 3 bonus symbols, you can choose to gamble to win upgraded Free Spins (50/50% chance). If triggered by collecting 4 symbols, you’re awarded upgraded Free Spins. You get the option to choose one of the three Free Spins modes described below. In all Free Spin modes, you can land an Extra Spins symbol that will reward you the visible amount of extra spins. 

Free Spin Mode 1: Mystery symbol

This pink-coloured round starts with 6 spins where persistent mystery symbols are on the reels. The mystery symbols will reveal a symbol after every cascade but reappear as a new mystery symbol before the next cascade. Landing the Expand bomb symbol will expand the reel height by one row on the four middle reels and award +3 spins. The maximum reel height that can be achieved is 7. The upgraded version of the mystery symbol Free Spins mode will add 4 mystery symbols before the start of the first spin.

Free Spin Mode 2: Multiplier Ladder

This green-coloured round starts with 8 spins and a x1 multiplier. After every win and between spins, the multiplier will increase according to the multiplier ladder which is above the reels. At certain steps in the ladder, extra spins are also awarded. The maximum multiplier on the ladder is 500x. The upgraded version of the Multiplier Ladder mode will add 1 extra spin, which will increase the chance of reaching higher multipliers.

Free Spins Mode 3: Expanding Wild

This blue-coloured round starts with 7 spins, where wild symbols will expand downwards. You will also gain multipliers for each Wild symbol. The upgraded version of the Expanding Wild mode will add a x10 starting multiplier.

Buy Free Spins

This feature awards free spins for a cost of 80 x the bet. When purchased, the free spin selection screen is displayed and you can select one of the 3 Free Spin modes mentioned above.

I didn't know what to expect from a game called ‘Beast Mode’, so it was a pleasant surprise to be met with a retro 80s setting set in a Californian urban jungle.  I remember visiting Muscle Beach in LA as a teenager, and it was quite a sight! This game encapsulates it with the outdoor gym and muscled-up animals showing off their physiques. 

The soft colours and 80s music really set the story well, which makes for an immersive and entertaining slots experience.

The highlight was definitely the 3 different Free Spins games, and having the option of choosing one is fun! This should be a hit with players.  I especially enjoyed the Mystery symbol option where the antipitation builds as you wait to see what the Mystery symbol will be. And it’s a bonus if you land the Expand bomb symbol which grows on the reels (it can go up to 7positions in reel height).

Relax Gaming create some superb games, if you’d like to read about its most popular slots, here are some reviews worth checking out Money Train 4, Dead RidersTrail, Atlantis Crush and Ancient Tumble.

The game's volatility is very high, so wins will happen infrequently, but this will suit payers looking for higher prizes. With a max win of 25,000x the bet, this certainly cuts the mustard. The RTP rate is well above the average at 96.32%.

Beast Mode stands out for its dynamic design and innovative features so it has scored an impressive 4.6 out of 5.
