Reel Rush on a phone

SIDEWAYS ONLY 4.0 s TO PLAYABLE FREE DEMO

Sideways or nothing. 4.0 s to playable, and the rotate prompt shows up before anything else does.

The phone check

3 TAPS FROM THE LOBBY Search box to a spinning board

Sideways is the only layout and the buttons are built for it. Fine in two hands, awkward hanging off a pole on the subway. The demo pulls about 16 MB before the first tap registers, which on a poor bar is where the 4.0 s goes. Getting money back out is a separate count and we keep it at cashout.

One build, one return figure

Only one configuration of Reel Rush is licensed, at 97%, so there is nothing to check and nothing to get wrong. That puts it in the minority: 123 of 306 titles here ship in two or three builds, and nothing on screen tells you which one loaded.

Where it sits on the board

Ranked 301 of 306 here, and none of that ranking is about the game. It is about the handset. That is 1.9 s slower than the 2.1 s median, every time you open it.

NetEnt has 24 titles on this board, 14 of them upright, with a median load of 2.6 s.
