Rocket Reels

About Rocket Reels

Rocket Reels belongs to Hacksaw Gaming's Pocketz Series, a run of games designed to work well on a phone screen, and it was released in September 2021. The setting is space: a purple planet, floating asteroids and a 7x7 grid of coloured rocks and planets.

The mechanic is one idea taken seriously. Rockets land among the symbols, and when enough of them arrive they launch upwards, destroying everything in their path and leaving a trail of multipliers across the positions they passed through. New symbols drop into the gaps, and if a winning cluster forms over those multipliers, the win is multiplied. Maximum win is 10,000x stake.

How to Play Rocket Reels

Five or more matching symbols connecting horizontally or vertically form a winning cluster. Winning symbols are removed, new symbols drop in, and the sequence continues while wins keep forming. Stakes at Midnite start from £0.20 per spin.

Rockets are separate from the paying symbols and only one can land on each reel per spin. In the base game, three or more rockets on the same spin trigger a launch. They ascend through the grid, clearing symbols above them and leaving multipliers behind on those positions. Those multipliers stay for the rest of the round. Where more than one multiplier overlaps a winning cluster, the values are added together first and then applied.

Rocket Reels Features

• Cluster Pays: Wins are formed by 5 or more matching symbols connecting horizontally or vertically. There are no paylines.
• Cascades: Winning symbols are removed and replaced from above, so a single spin can produce a chain of wins.
• Multiplier Rockets: Rockets launch upwards, destroying symbols in their path and leaving multipliers across those positions. Only one rocket can land per reel per spin.
• Three Rocket Types: The first carries multipliers of 1x to 5x, the second 10x to 20x, and the third 25x to 75x.
• Additive Multipliers: Where several multipliers overlap the same winning cluster, the values are added together before being applied.
• Persistent Multipliers: Multipliers left by rockets stay on the grid for the remainder of the base game round.
• UFO: Appears at random on spins where rockets have launched, beaming up anywhere from twenty symbols to the entire grid and clearing them.
• Wild Symbol: Substitutes for all paying symbols but not for the scatter or the rockets.
• Free Spins: Triggered by 3 or more scatters, awarding 8 free spins. Every rocket that lands launches automatically rather than needing three on the same spin.

Rocket Reels Theme and Symbols

The grid floats above a purple planet with asteroids drifting past and a bright, upbeat soundtrack running underneath. Hacksaw designed the Pocketz Series for mobile first, and it shows: on a phone in portrait the 7x7 grid fills nearly the whole screen, and landscape is the better orientation for taking in the multiplier trails after a launch.

Low-value symbols are coloured rocks in different shapes. Premium symbols are planets, each with its own design. The wild substitutes for paying symbols but not for the scatter or the rockets, which sit outside the paytable entirely. The rockets are the symbols worth watching, and the third type carrying 25x to 75x is the one that turns a routine round into something worth having.
