Underground Tuning is a video slot game developed by Charismatic, centered around the theme of underground car racing and vehicle customization. The game features a 5-reel, 3-row layout with 20 fixed paylines, offering players an immersive experience in the world of street racing and car tuning.
The slot's symbols are intricately designed to fit the theme, featuring car parts such as speakers, exhausts, wheels, brake disks, and gear sticks. Lower-value symbols are represented by playing card royals Q, K, and A. The gear stick symbol offers the highest payout, rewarding players with 3,000x the line bet for five symbols on a payline.
A key feature of Underground Tuning is the Wild symbol, depicted as a tank of nitro. This Wild can appear randomly on any reel and substitutes for all symbols except the Free Spin symbol. During the bonus rounds, the Wild can transform into an Expanding Wild, covering entire reels and significantly boosting winning potential.
The game's main bonus feature is the Free Spins round, triggered by landing three or more Free Spin symbols (represented by a green-haired lady) anywhere on the reels. This awards 10 free spins, with the possibility of retrigering additional spins during the bonus round. The Free Spins feature introduces a special Nitro Wild symbol, which appears as a stacked Wild on any reel, greatly enhancing the chances of forming winning combinations.
Underground Tuning offers a wide betting range, accommodating both casual players and high rollers. The minimum bet is set at €0.20, while the maximum reaches €100 per spin. Players can adjust their wager by modifying the coin value (0.01 to 1) and the number of coins per line (1 to 5).
The game boasts an impressive Return to Player (RTP) rate of 97.01%, which is above the industry average for video slots. While the volatility is not officially stated by the developer, the game's biggest wins are likely to come from the Free Spins bonus rounds, suggesting a medium to high volatility.
Additional features include an autoplay function, allowing players to set up to 500 automatic spins, and a max bet button for quick access to the highest wager. The game's high-quality graphics and car-themed soundtrack create an engaging atmosphere that appeals to fans of racing and car customization.
