Bonus Reels™
Relax Gaming takes slot appeal to the next level with the launch of Bonus Reels™

Reading Time: < 1 minute
Relax Gaming, the iGaming aggregator and supplier of unique content, has unveiled Bonus Reels, a brand-new bet option that lets players significantly increase their chance of entering bonus game rounds.
Designed to add pace and excitement, Bonus Reels offers a simple, toggle-on experience that elevates slot appeal to the next level. Unlike a traditional feature buy, Bonus Reels
gives players a vastly increased bonus-entry chance for 10x the base bet while keeping RTP and return efficiency the same.
When enabled, the reels are populated solely with bonus-triggering symbols or blanks, providing a streamlined path into Bonus rounds, and Super Bonus Rounds where applicable.
To activate Bonus Reels players switch a toggle to trigger a “super-charged” spin priced at 10x the base stake, offering a 1-in-10 chance to start a bonus game. It’s an optional, faster way to experience bonus content without bypassing the core game entirely.
Currently, five games are available to operators with Bonus Reels, Bill & Coin 2 Mummy Mischief, Jumbo Juicy, Conquer Babylon, Aura God and Ancient Tumble.
Looking ahead, selected all-network Relax releases are set to include Bonus Reels, with no additional setup required; Relax will “flip the switch,” with the bet option already pre-certified.
Martin Stålros, CEO of Relax Gaming, said: “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.”
