4Squad Review

4Squad Reviewed May 19 2020 by Casinogamesonnet.com

The 4Squad is a 7x6 grid slot from Red Tiger Gaming. Its theme revolves around four superheroes who each possess unique powers.

Red Tiger Gaming has taken on a tough challenge with this nonbranded superhero slot. We’ll discuss whether 4Squad is a winner or just an Avengers or DC Comics rip-off.

Gameplay and Atmosphere

This slot features a 7x6 grid that relies on cluster pays. You earn payouts by landing five or more matching symbols in a cluster going vertically and/or horizontally.

The 4Squad offers cascading reels. This feature sees symbols from winning combinations disappear and give way to new icons falling from above.

The background shows a generic city that’s complete with skyscrapers, streetlights, and a street sign. It feels similar to New York City, where a great deal of the Marvel Comics’ and DC Comics’ stories take place.

The 4Squad includes Beam, Burst, Quake, and Strike. The four heroes initially make this game seem like a Fantastic 4 knockoff.

However, Red Tiger Gaming has done a good job of making their superhero universe stand out by using original characters and sharp graphics. We’re somewhat surprised at how well Red Tiger pulls off the originality aspect.

Payouts and Symbols

Low-paying symbols include a club, diamond, heart, and spade. High-paying icons include the four superheroes and a golden fist (4Squad logo).

The golden fist pays the most at 50x your stake for a cluster of 20+ symbols. This game offers up to a 1,279x maximum payout when features are included.

An orb serves as the wild symbol. It substitutes for all regular symbols to create winning combinations.

4Squad RTP, Volatility and Betting Options

You can wager between €0.10 and €80 per spin. Gameplay options include autoplay (10 to 100 spins) and turbo mode.

The 4Squad RTP is 95.72%, which is on the low side compared to other online slots. Volatility is medium when considering the trade-off between a low max payout and several features (covered below).

4Squad Slot Special Features

The four superheroes deliver random features based on their specific powers. You unlock each hero’s power/feature by filling their progress bar.

Every hero has a respective color. Each low- and high-paying symbol is colored either blue, green, red, or yellow.

Winning clusters fill up the progress bar associated with their respective color. Here are the available features based on each superhero:

• Beam – When the yellow progress bar fills, Beam awards a multiplier ranging from 2x to 10x.
• Burst – If the red bar fills, Burst clones random symbols to create potentially large payouts.
• Quake – When the green bar fills, Quake knocks low-paying symbols off the grid so that new icons take their places.
• Strike – If the blue bar fills, Strike shoots random symbols with electricity and transforms them into wilds.

Progress bars reset to zero at the start of every spin. Therefore, you must fill the bars within a single round.

You activate Superhero Mode by filling all four progressive bars within the same spin. Superhero Mode gives you one free spin with no low-paying symbols present. Furthermore, each hero unleashes their feature.

Final Thoughts on 4Squad Slot

Red Tiger Gaming has done a great job at creating an interesting superhero slot without licensing any specific brand. The 4Squad is a colorful game with high-quality graphics and engaging characters.

This slot offers plenty of features when accounting for the four heroes’ powers along with Superhero Mode. You’ll also benefit from cascading reels.

The lone serious downside to the 4Squad is the maximum payout. You can only win up to 1,279x your stake. On a minor note, the 95.74% RTP could also be higher.

Overall, 4Squad is a quality game that’s especially fun if you’re into superheroes. As long as you’re not hoping for life-changing payouts, you should consider playing this slot.
