Charlie Chance XREELZ

Get back to having a devil of a time on the 1930s-inspired slot from Play’n GO. Charlie Chance XREELZ is the sequel to the 2020-released Charlie Chance In Hell To Pay, taking you again back in time to the beginnings of animated motion movies to witness the protagonist taking his chances against the devil herself. With an increased game area to a 5×3 format, features include now the newly developed XREELZ mechanic, Second Chance Respins and three Free Spins modes that can lead to wins of up to 20,000 times your bet.

Slot Details

Charlie Chance XREELZ is a video slot with five reels, three rows and 243 ways to win. Pays are awarded for three to five matching symbols landing on adjacent reels from left to right only. Available on desktop, tablet and mobile, you can bet from 0.10 to 100 credits per spin. The game has high volatility (9/10) with a default RTP of 96.25%. You may find lower RTP values – 94.27% or 91.27% – at some operators, always check the help file to find out which version you will be playing.

Paying homage to early animated movies from the 1920s and 1930s, loading the game will take you straight to the devil’s cave where she will greet you with her wicked smile, ready to set the reels and you on fire. Charlie Chance is literally taking a chance again to escape the cave. Spider webs, bats and other creatures add a creepy note while a quirky soundtrack lifts the entire gameplay up again.

The pay symbols start at the low end with card suits – clubs, diamonds, hearts and spades – awarding 0.4x to 0.5x your bet for a single five of a kind. They are followed by 666s, Hell’s Bells, twin devils and Charlie Chance himself. Hit five across the reels to win 1x to 20x your stake. The blazing wild substitutes for all regular symbols and yields 30x your bet while the devil herself acts as the scatter.

Charlie Chance XREELZ Slot Features

After Charlie Chance In Hell To Pay, Play’n GO is paying a second time homage to the early animated movies from the likes of Fleischmann Studios and Disney. The result is a substantial upgrade with regards to the game area, number of bet ways and win potential. Reason enough to take a closer look.

Landing a wild symbol in a winning combination will activate the XREELZ feature. A horizontal multiplier reel will appear on top of the game window, held by two skulls and displaying a variety of multipliers. It will spin once and apply the multiplier stopping above the wild symbol to the wins containing the wild. In the base game, the possible multipliers are x2, x3 or x5.

Landing two or more scatters will trigger the Second Chance Respin for another opportunity to hit the missing third or additional scatters. Respins continue as long as more scatters appear or until they are present on all five reels. For all outcomes with three or more scatters, the game will award 10 Free Spins which cannot be retriggered. Three modes are available based on the number of scatters:

• 3 Scatters – 10 Flaming Free Spins: Available XREELZ multipliers are x2, x3 and x5
• 4 Scatters – 10 Inferno Free Spins: Available XREELZ multipliers are x5, x6 and x8
• 5 Scatters – 10 Hellfire Free Spins: Available XREELZ multipliers are x8, x9 and x25

The XREELZ feature will activate on every free spin without the need for a wild, applying the awarded multiplier to all wins from the respective spin. Any wild landing will stay on the grid for all remaining free spins and turn into a roaming wild, changing position between free spins.

Final Verdict

Initially, Charlie Chance XREELZ looks like an upgrade to the first title in the series. However, although it has more reels and bet ways as well as a higher win potential, it fails to create the same nostalgic atmosphere we experienced on the original. The XREELX mechanic itself is somewhat nonchalant as it won’t trigger to often in the base game which makes any chance of a substantial win dependent on a Free Spins feature.
