Razor Returns: from classic reels to a deep-sea grid

Five reels stop with five symbols each, forming a 5x5 grid with an ocean theme of sharks, a swordfish and an anchor. 40 fixed paylines pay from left to right, and a line needs at least 3 matching symbols. Wins are paid on the total base bet, not per line. The main mechanic is the free spins feature, triggered by 3 or more Torpedo Symbols anywhere on the grid.

Three Torpedo Symbols that land start the free spins at a total multiplier of x1, four at x5 and five at x25. Mystery Symbols placed on reels 2 and 4 nudge down one position per spin, each nudge adding 1 to the multiplier. Push Bet raises the base bet by 10% for a higher chance of free spins.

Razor Returns round

Follow each step before the reels stop

Axe Casino lays out every rule of a round before you place a bet.

  1. Pick a bet before spinning

    The reels stay still until you set a bet from A$0.10 to A$100. Push Bet adds 10% to the Base Bet and can be switched off only when a round ends.

  2. Is each payline paid separately?

    Symbols that match from the left on a payline pay, and three is the fewest that pay. Wins are paid on the Total Bet, not per payline.

  3. Multiplier Spots from the start

    The reels can show Wild, Scatter, Nudge and Respin features. Multiplier Spots and a Progressive Multiplier are part of the base game too.

  4. Count the Torpedo Symbols

    Three or more Torpedo Symbols start the Free Spins Feature, at a Total Multiplier of x1 for three, x5 for four and x25 for five.

  5. Budget and stop point

    Each spin costs your bet, and the reels keep turning until you stop. Set a budget and a stop point before the first spin, since results cannot be known in advance.

What do the extras run to?

Buying skips the reels and starts the feature at a set multiple of the bet, the table shows the price at the A$1 top bet.

Three settings, each with its own share

Each spin on the reels pays back part of every A$100 staked; the RTP is the share returned over time. Axe Casino runs one of these versions, and the game rules state which one.

Four round types

Before a bonus lands, know the rules

After reading, you will know how each bonus starts and what the paid features cost.

Locked until the round ends

When the reels spin with Push Bet on, the Base Bet rises by 10% and the chance of triggering the Free Spins Feature increases. The player switches it on before a spin. It can only be switched off at the end of a round, and it changes the RTP.

Base Game betFree Spins chance

Razor Returns: Mystery Symbols that nudge

3+ Torpedo Symbols on the reels trigger the Free Spins Feature in Base Game or Razor Reveal. Starting Total Multiplier: x1, x5 or x25 for 3, 4 or 5 torpedoes. Reels 2 and 4 seed 10 Mystery Symbols nudging down 1 position per spin, each adding 1 until none remain.

Spotting it among the extras

Every spin on the reels runs in the Base Game, and the Gamble Feature is one of the extra features in Razor Returns, alongside Free Spins, Money Collect and Multiplier Spots. Its steps are played out in the game itself, so the player sees them there.

During a roundA gamble choice

Free Spins now, starting at x1

From the Base Game reels, a player buys 3 Torpedo Free Spins for 106x Base Bet. The round starts with a Total Multiplier of x1. Its RTP is 95.99% with the Gamble Feature and 96.27% without it.

Clearer expectations ahead of any wager

Each spin lands symbols on the 5x5 grid, and the Free Spins Feature begins when three or more Torpedo Symbols land anywhere. How often that happens is not known in advance. Nobody can predict it from the spins already played. The result of one session is random whatever the RTP, because RTP describes a long run of many spins, not a promise for the next one.

Every spin on the 5x5 grid pays out under the RTP version Axe Casino runs for this game. That version is shown only in the game rules. Players who want the exact figure should read the rules before they play.

Each spin can build toward the top prize on Razor Returns, and the Total Multiplier can climb with every Mystery Symbol nudge. The ceiling is a maximum, not a typical result, and it is reached very rarely. Nobody can say in advance whether a given session will come near it.

Practice mode

Access, account and age requirements

Useful when you are deciding whether to play Razor Returns with real money or a practice game.

The demo needs no money and pays nothing at all. The real game needs an Axe Casino account and you must be 18 or older.

Just before you spin

Razor Returns: check these before the first spin

After this, you will know the bonus cost, the RTP versions and the top win.

Can you buy the bonus in Razor Returns and what does it cost?

Yes. Razor Returns sells Free Spins as a purchase: 3 Torpedo Free Spins cost 106 times the bet, or A$106 at A$1, and 4 Torpedo Free Spins cost 186 times, or A$186 at A$1. Razor Reveal Feature costs 500 times the bet.

What RTP versions does Razor Returns have?

Razor Returns comes in three RTP versions: 96.16%, 96.24% and 96.55%. RTP is the average return across a very large number of bets, so it says nothing certain about one session. The versions differ by less than half a percentage point.

How big is the maximum win in Razor Returns?

The maximum win in Razor Returns is x100,000 of the bet. At a A$1 bet, that is A$100,000. Staking the highest bet of A$100 lifts the top win to A$10,000,000. No one can plan for hitting it.

How does Razor Returns differ from Razor Ways and Razor Shark?

Razor Returns caps at x100,000, four times the top win of Razor Ways. Razor Shark has the highest RTP in the series at 96.70%, while Razor Shark Jackpots runs at 96.38%.

Set your limit before you start

This slot is for players aged 18+. Help is available from the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858, and you can register with BetStop, the national self-exclusion register.

Money kept apart from bills

Decide how much you can afford to lose before the first spin, and stop once that sum is gone. Keep it apart from bills and rent.

What if I win first?

Decide in advance when you will stop, and keep to it even after a win. A win does not change the odds of the next spin.

Where do I set limits?

Use the deposit and loss limits in your account before you play. Setting them before a session is easier than during one.

BetStop self-exclusion

If the game stops being fun, take a break or register with BetStop to self-exclude. Asking for help early is a sensible step.
