Slot Review: Reel Baron

It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s… Reel Baron! This online slot game is a gentle send-up of “The Red Baron,” the codename given to the German flying ace Manfred von Richthofen. This game actually has nothing to do with Snoopy or pizza, but don’t be disappointed – Reel Baron is a crackerjack slot machine title offering plenty of thrills and excitement with a World War I theme, colorful graphics, and exciting gameplay action.

Reel Baron is a five-reel, twenty-payline online slot machine title by Microgaming. Coin values start at one cent and range upwards to fifty cents, with max coins of two hundred making the top per-spin wager one of one hundred dollars. The jackpot is two thousand coins, or one thousand dollars. We don’t mind a jackpot that is on the smaller side and pays out often, but the high wager-to-jackpot ratio (1:10) makes us a little leery. It’s great to try out a new pokey ever now and then, but don’t sink too much money into this one of you aren’t on a hot streak!

A flying hat and goggles, a bomb with a dollar sign ($), a chest full of treasure, and some military medals are all present on the reels, displayed in vibrant colors and supporting the theme well. The Red Baron logo is the wild symbol, and the compass symbol is both the scatter and bonus symbol. If you get three of these, you will win fifteen free spins! In addition, getting more compasses can win you prizes of several times you wager amount!
