We can all agree that Megaways is the most popular concept in the video slots industry at this particular moment. Nevertheless, there is an entirely new concept that is becoming more and more popular by the day, and it is brought to us by ReelPlay.

You can probably guess that we are talking about Infinity Reels or Infinireels. In this text, we will try to explain the concept and also mention some of the latest addition to the Infinity Reels family.

How Does the Infinity Reels Concept Function?

The first video slot working on Infinity Reels mechanic is El Dorado Infinity Reels, developed by ReelPlay. As the name itself suggests, Infinity Reels is all about adding new reels by expanding winning combinations from the original spin.

Usually, the base game starts with a small 3×3 or 4×4 reel grid, and as you advance and land winning combos, new reels are added. A non-winning spin, or a reel that does not continue the winning combo, returns you to the original layout.

The most important fact about the Infinireels concept is that there are no limits on how many new reels you can add. Some of the video slots based on these mechanics provide you with a map to follow your progress. Now, since most of the Infinireels video slots are highly volatile, do not expect to unlock loads of new reels.

Apart from ReelPlay, the pioneers of the Infinity Reels mechanism, plenty of other providers have seen this new concept’s huge potential. They decided to develop Infinireels video slots of their own. Some of them are NetEnt (Gods of Gold Infinireels), Red Tiger Gaming (Dragon’s Fire Infinireels), Red7 (Book of Ultimate Infinity Reels), Boomerang Studios, and Relax Gaming.

ReelPlay has joined Yggdrasil’s growing YG Masters program, and one of the results of their successful cooperation is the latest release of Thor Infinity Reels. Before that, there was the remake of the El Dorado Infinity Reels, powered by the GATI technology.

Thor Infinity Reels (Yggdrasil)

Yggdrasil is now proud of the fact that ReelPlay is a member of their YG Masters family. The fruitful cooperation between the two software providers resulted in Thor Infinity Reels, a brand new video slot that operates on the Infinireels engine.

This highly volatile video slot comes with an RTP of 96.20% and offers a max payout of $242,238. With a Norse theme and placed on a battlefield, the 2021 release looks impressive. Swords, shields, banners, and spears are all over the place; the only thing missing are the fallen warriors.

Gamers start with a 3×4 reel grid, and each successive win expands the grid, adding new reels, which are removed after a winning spin. Now, as you expand the winning combination and add new reels, the symbol multiplier goes up as well. It starts at 1x at the beginning of each spin, and you increase the multiplier by 1x for every single new reel added. Add 12 or more reels, and you will pocket an 888x bonus.

Thor himself is the Wild that substitutes all icons but the Hammer Scatter, which triggers the Jackpot Respins feature. Get six or more Hammer Scatters on the reels simultaneously, and you will activate the Jackpot Respins feature.

Take advantage of 3 respins, which reset to 3 every time you land a new Scatter on the reels. All Scatters are held on the reels. Fill the reels with 4 new Hammers, and you will get a new reel. Once you end the feature, you get a prize on each Hammer landed. There are four fixed jackpots you can win, the biggest one being the 2,000x bet.

Giza Infinity Reels (Relax Gaming)

After our stay in the cold North, it is time to go to Ancient Egypt, where the mighty gods of the old days are waiting for you, prepared to share their massive wealth. Giza Infinity Reels is a Relax Gaming product. Relax Gaming has signed a deal with ReelPlay to use the Infinity Reels mechanism.

The starting reel grid is pretty similar to Thor, and again you start with 3 reels and 4 rows, adding new reels every time new icons increase the winning combo. Instead of Norse gods and Vikings, you spend time with deities, including Anubis and Horus. Ruins of ancient temples can be found in the background, while Giza Pyramid is a Scatter that triggers free spins.

Once again, you can benefit from the Symbol Multiplier, which increases with every new reel. The 888x multiplier is also yours when you reach 12 reels. As for the Free Spins feature, you trigger freebies by landing a Pyramid win during the base game.

Players get 10 free spins, while the Symbol Multiplier varies. It can go up to 1x-5x in a single winning spin or go down on a non-winning spin. Land other Pyramids because each of them will get you 4 extra free spins.

Emerald’s Infinity Reels (Relax Gaming)

The second game from Relax Gaming’s creative kitchen is the Emerald’s Infinity Reels video slot, which celebrates St Patrick’s Day. Now, do not expect plenty of beer, booze, and fistfights; this is a story of the lovely Emerald Isle. Enjoy the breathtaking waterfall in the middle of the forest, and listen to the sweet sounds of the harp, performed by the local Leprechaun.

Again, you start with a 3×4 formation. The difference between the two previously mentioned games is that, as you add new reels, the old ones disappear, while the Meter on the left side makes sure that all of your wins are counted correctly. There are 2x multipliers that appear on the reels and are also collected on winning spins.

Three or more Harp Scatters will trigger free spins. Gamers are rewarded with 12 freebies, and each additional Scatter delivers 2 extra free spins. The 2x multiplier is also appearing during the feature. It is possible to retrigger free spins.
