The iGaming industry continues to evolve at breakneck speed, and Relax Gaming has just raised the bar with a brand-new Bonus Reels™ feature.
Bonus Reels gives players yet another option compared to traditional online slot mechanics.
Rather than forcing you to wait through countless base game spins in the hope of triggering bonus rounds or resorting to expensive feature buys that can quickly drain bankrolls, the Relax Gaming Bonus Reels™ mechanism offers a balanced middle ground that respects both your choice as a player and responsible gaming principles.
The concept is simple yet extreme effective, and I wonder if the UKGC, where bonus buys are banned, will see the positive side of this game mechanic.
With a single toggle switch, players can activate what Relax Gaming calls a ‘super-charged’ spin. This special spin costs 10 times the base stake but delivers a what I would call a very fair 1-in-10 chance of triggering a bonus game round.
Unlike traditional feature buys that fundamentally alter the game’s mathematics, Bonus Reels™ maintains the same RTP (Return to Player) percentage and return as the standard game mode, so no confusing switches in RTPs like we see with many bonus features, especially when creating our weekly new casino games report.
I am not saying it’s a bad thing that there are different RTPs; I am just saying Relax Gaming simplifies things.

How Bonus Reels™ Works
The mechanics behind Bonus Reels™ are designed for maximum transparency and excitement. When activated, the game’s reels transform dramatically, populated exclusively with bonus-triggering symbols or blank spaces. This streamlined approach eliminates the frustration of near-misses with regular symbols cluttering the screen, creating a pure, focused experience that either delivers the coveted bonus round or provides a clear outcome.
This optional feature doesn’t bypass the core gameplay entirely, which is crucial for maintaining the integrity of the slot experience. Players can toggle Bonus Reels™ on or off at will, choosing when they want to increase their chances of hitting those lucrative bonus features, including Super Bonus Rounds when available. This flexibility ensures that both casual players and high-rollers can tailor their gaming sessions to match their preferences and budget.
Launch Titles and Operator Benefits
Relax Gaming has kicked off the Bonus Reels™ rollout with five exciting titles: Bill & Coin 2 Mummy Mischief, Jumbo Juicy, Conquer Babylon, Aura God, and Ancient Tumble, which you can try via our free play demo slot section. Each game has been carefully selected to showcase how this feature enhances different slot themes and mechanics.
Martin Stålros, CEO of Relax Gamingsaid “Bonus Reels™ is about giving players choice and momentum. For those who love the thrill of bonus features, this offers a quicker route into the action while maintaining the same RTP. It’s easy for operators to enable Bonus Reels as it is pre-certified, and fits seamlessly into our network titles. We’re excited to roll it out, starting with five launch games and expanding rapidly from there.”
Expect Plenty of Future Bonus Reels™ Releases
For operators, Relax Gaming is making it easy to roll out, so we’ll be seeing these games at online casinos we play at almost immediately. That’s because all the software providers’ games are pre-certified, so you’ll be able to play them at Malta Gaming Authority online casinos as well as those operating under Curacao and Anjouan licensing.
We are looking forward. Relax Gaming plans to incorporate Bonus Reels™ into more selected all-network releases. It will be interesting to see just how popular it becomes. We’ll have a pretty good idea soon enough, just by looking at the online casino ‘Popular’ sections, where algorithms feature the most played games by casino members in this lobby.
Bonus Reels™ is more than just another slot feature for me, as it’s a thoughtful response to player demand for more engaging and customizable gaming experiences. By offering accelerated access to the most exciting parts of slot games without compromising fairness or RTP, Relax Gaming has created a feature that benefits both players and operators, setting a new standard for player choice in online gaming.
