Spaza Shop Slot Review

About the Game

• Street Boost. Winning symbols expand and transform into Wild symbols, increasing your chances of winning!
• Money Move Bonus. Each free spin awards one reel filled with Street Boost symbols!
• Max Win. Win up to 10,000 times your bet!

Spaza Shop is a 5-reel, 4-row “ways-to-win” cascading slot from NowNow Gaming and Hacksaw Gaming, set in a beloved corner shop where shelves are stacked high with snacks, drinks, and everyday treasures.
As the reels spin, symbols tumble down like freshly stocked merchandise. On any spin, paying symbols can land as “Street Boost” symbols – highlighted icons that transform into Wilds for the subsequent cascade, unlocking even more winning opportunities. Each cascade boosts the Multiplier Meter, which keeps growing at random. Trigger the Money Move Bonus, and the shop goes into overdrive: at least one full reel is guaranteed to be fully highlighted, unleashing a wave of substituting symbols!

The symbol payouts shown below reflect the current bet level. The theoretical Return to Player (RTP) for this game is 96.31%. The RTP was calculated by simulating 10,000,000,000 rounds.

Max Win

The maximum win in the Spaza Shop game is 10,000 times your bet amount and can be achieved in both the base game and the bonus game. The maximum achievable win is calculated by multiplying 10,000 by the current bet level. This maximum win can be achieved by triggering specific combinations and/or features.

Features

The Wild symbol substitutes for all symbols in the paytable.

FS Scatter symbols can appear on all reels during both the base game and the bonus game.

Street Boost

Each symbol comes in two versions: Standard symbols and Street Boost symbols. Street Boost symbols are visually distinct from Standard symbols, featuring a unique background and a gold frame that makes them easy to spot on the grid. When Standard symbols form a winning combination, they explode and vanish, making way for cascades. However, Street Boost symbols do not disappear after a win; instead, they transform into Wild symbols for the subsequent cascade. On any spin, paying symbols – excluding Wilds and FS Scatters – can appear as Street Boost symbols, which land only on reels 2, 3, and 4.

Multiplier Meter

The Multiplier Meter is located above the reels and increases winning potential with each cascade.
At the start of each spin, the active multiplier (displayed centrally above the reels) begins at 1x, while the next three upcoming multipliers are shown to the right. Here is how the multiplier mechanic works:
With each cascade, the leftmost upcoming multiplier is added to the active multiplier and then removed.
The remaining multipliers shift to the left, and a new multiplier enters from the right. This process repeats with every subsequent cascade.
Multipliers can take any random value from the following:
1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x, 7x, 8x, 9x, 10x, 15x, 20x, 25x, 50x, 100x.
The multiplier resets to 1x at the start of each new base game round.

Cascading Symbols

Winning symbols are removed from the screen, and all remaining symbols cascade downwards. New symbols are then added to the screen to replace the removed ones. The core payout mechanics repeat until no further wins are possible.

Bonus Game

Money Move Bonus

Land 3 or more FS Scatter symbols to trigger the bonus game!

Landing 3, 4, or 5 FS Scatter symbols in the base game awards 10, 12, and 14 free spins, respectively.
The same mechanics as the base game apply, but with the following enhancements:
At the start of each free spin, one reel is randomly selected from reels 2, 3, or 4. On the selected reel, all symbols appear as Street Boost symbols during the initial spin and every subsequent cascade. On the other two reels, symbols may or may not appear as Street Boost symbols.
Once the spin concludes, the selected reels revert to their normal state. A new reel is randomly selected for the next free spin.
The Multiplier Meter functions exactly as it does in the base game.
The Money Move Bonus can also be retriggered. Landing 3 FS Scatter symbols retriggers 10 free spins, while each additional FS Scatter symbol awards +2 free spins.

Ways To Win

The requirements for winning combinations in the base game also apply during bonus features or free spins, unless stated otherwise. Each bet qualifies for all winning combinations, unless stated otherwise.
You win if identical symbols appear on adjacent reels from left to right, starting with the leftmost reel. Each winning combination of identical symbols creates a way to win. There are 1,024 possible ways to win in this game. The number of symbols required for a win is specified in the paytable.
After every win, the symbols forming the winning combination are removed and new ones fall into place. This continues until no new wins remain on the reels.
