Betsoft decided to take a little break from action-packed video slots and to release Total Overdrive, a 3-reel, 3-payline game that is all about the Overdrive Multiplier. Bright neon lights and the sounds of electronic music are waiting for you in the 2020 release, for a starting price of $0.05 per spin. There are no free spins or other complicated features incorporated, so just sit down, relax to the sounds of music and spin the reels. Land winning payouts to increase the Overdrive Multiplier to 10x or wait for the random spin that will turn the multiplier into a Sticky Multiplier for 8 successive spins.
The BetSoft product is one of those video slots that are very easy to play and mere beginners will be spinning the reels like pros in no time at all. The 2020 release features three reels, three rows and benefits from 5 fixed paylines. Your only task will be to land three matching symbols on a payline in order to win payouts, it’s as simple as that. Gamers can bet from $0.05 to $10 per single spin, and we are not convinced that such a betting range will satisfy the needs of players looking for an expensive thrill. The command list offers all the usual options like in other BetSoft titles.
Visually speaking, Total Overdrive looks very good. The symbols are polished and redesigned to fit the theme perfectly, and you will see plenty of familiar icons on the reels if you are one of those fans of classic fruit machines. Triple Lucky Sevens with a Sun behind is the highest-paying regular symbol, followed by a Lucky Seven, Cherries, Diamond, and Bell. Since there are no features incorporated, there are no Scatters on the offer. However, there is an Override Wild that will substitute for all other icons and will deliver 50x the bet when three of them are on a payline.
Every winning spin will trigger the Override Multiplier, increasing the winning Multiplier by 1x. It is possible to raise the Override Multiplier up to 10x, but for this to happen, you will need to land 10 successive wins. The bad side of the story is that the Override Multiplier will be reset every time you land a non-winning spin.
Since that can be pretty frustrating, the good people of BetSoft came up with the idea to include a Sticky Multiplier, which can be triggered by any winning spin. Once that happens, the Sticky Multiplier will go up to 10x and it will remain that high for 8 successive spins, either winning or non-winning. It is possible to retrigger the Sticky Multiplier during those 8 consecutive spins.
Total Overdrive offers a nice break from feature-rich video slots. The 2020 release boasts excellent visuals and a fitting soundtrack that will make you wiggle your behinds while you spin the reels. If you are a fan of video slots filled with features, the BetSoft title is definitely not for you, but if you want to spin the reels and listen to nice music, then Total Override is a perfect game for you. Push the Overdrive Multiplier to the max and pocket up to 1,450x the bet per spin.
