HOW TO PLAY PUNK ROCKER 2
A slot like this is supposed to be big, angry, and unpredictable, which is very much reflected in the game’s sizzling volatility. Big wins are rare in Punk Rocker 2, but once they hit, they can be extremely rewarding.
The base game is played on a large 7-reel game board. Initially, the game boasts 3 rows, but there are ways of increasing this number. Winning lines are created by hitting matching symbols on 3 or more separate but connected reels, going from left to right. Since the winning symbols’ position on the reel doesn’t matter, this adds up to a total of 729 ways to win. However, certain in-game features allow you to expand the game board and add additional rows. In these cases, the number of potential wins increases, which can be tracked through the big number shown above the reels.
It all works a bit like a Megaways game. However, unlike with Megaways, the number of symbols per reel is not randomized with every spin, and can only be affected by certain features, up to a maximum of 46,656.
Special Symbols and Features
NoLimit certainly didn’t pull any punches when it came to introducing new features. Punk Rocker 2 slots come with a wide range of special symbols and features.
First of all, the game has Wilds, which can substitute for any other type of symbol. There are also several other kinds of Wilds:
- Molotov Wilds – turn all regular symbols positioned above them on the same reel into Wilds.
- Pipe Bomb Wilds – Come in stacks of 2-4 Wilds. Turn all positions above into Pipe Bomb Wilds of the same size.
- Jumping Wilds – only active during certain Free Spin features. They persistently remain on the board but move around with every spin. They can’t move to the leftmost reel. They can also be affected by multipliers from Trail Enhancers.
- Burning Jumping Wilds – the same as regular Jumping Wilds, but multipliers added to them are persistent until the end of the free spin round.
Trail Enhancers & xWays
Trail Enhancers are not typical symbols. Instead, they run along the top and bottom of the reels. Whenever a Jumping Wild lands on the same reel as a Trail Enhancer, the Enhancer triggers.
Trail Enhancer bonuses include win multipliers, xWays, special Wild symbols, extra spins, bonuses that improve the bonus round, adding additional rows to the reel, and enabling the bottom Trail Enhancer row.
Multipliers are by far the most common enhancer, and they stack additively.
XWays are special symbols that hold 2-4 symbols of one kind. Whenever one hits, it expands its current reel with additional rows and fills these new positions with its symbol. This can happen multiple times, up to a 20-symbol high reel. In free spins modes, xWays contain at least 4 symbols each.
Punk Rocker 2 Free Spins
Free Spins are awarded whenever you hit 2 scatters at the same time anywhere on the board. The scatters convert to Molotov Wilds and lock all of the reels with wilds. Additional Scatters enhance the free spin round in certain ways. All of these types of free spins can be purchased at any time using the Buy Features button.
- Riot Spins are the base free spins with no further bonuses. Any extra scatters hit during Riot spins award an additional respin and turn into Molotov Wilds.
- DisOBEY Spins kick off if you hit 3 scatters at once. You get 8 initial spins with 3 Jumping Wilds and the Top Trail Enhancer. This bonus costs 100x the bet on the Feature Buy screen.
- ChAos Spins are triggered through 4 scatters. You get 8 initial spins with 4 Jumping Wilds and both Trail Enhancers. They cost 370x through Feature Buy.
- Mass Transit BBQ Spins require 5 scatters and add a Burning Card that always stops on every spin. It costs a whopping 3,000x to purchase.
