A serious sombre slot of naval warfare that should appeal to the deeper-thinkers.

Silent Run Slot

Silent Run Slot Review

While some of NetEnt's games are highly humorous, others are rather more serious in tone. Silent Run is very much in the latter category and is aimed at those who like ships and submarines mixed in with a heady dose of naval warfare. Silent Run slots comes with five reels in three rows and a total of 25 paylines. It also comes with a couple of bonus features and an in-game jackpot of 1000x your bet for the spin.

Silent Run Overview

The symbols are cleverly designed to maintain the mood, and the smart features blend in beautifully with the gameplay. From torpedoes that can be fired at enemy crafts, to Hidden Wilds, the game is extremely well designed. It's not the most fun slot available, but for a more cerebral challenge, Silent Run is a highly notable choice.

Most of the symbols in Silent Run slots are theme-related, but you can also find standard playing card symbols.

The low-values consist of the standard playing card 10, J, Q, K and A all awarding payouts for combinations of three, four and five matching symbols.

The high-value symbols in the game are theme-related and include depth charges, mines, torpedoes, a battleship and a submarine. They also award payouts for landing combinations of three, four and five identical symbols on an active payline.

The game’s wild symbol is red warning light which substitutes for all symbols except the Echo Wild and Echo Bonus symbols. The Echo Wild and the Echo Bonus contribute to the bonus features in the game.

How To Play Silent Run Slots

Since the paylines in Silent Run slots are fixed, all you need to set before you press the round SPIN button are the bet level and the coin value.

The control board for the game is positioned below the reels and all buttons are marked well. The Bet Level box is below reels one and two and you can select anywhere between one and ten. On the opposite side, below reels four and five, you’ll find the COIN VALUE box where you can select your choice by pressing the left and right arrows.

If you want to spin the reels with the maximum bet possible, press the MAX BET button on the right of the spin button. The AUTO PLAY button lets you enjoy the game without pressing SPIN after each round.

How To Win Silent Run

The PAYTABLE button below reel one holds information on the payouts of all symbols, as well as valuable information on the rules of the game and the paylines.

As we have already mentioned in the previous sections, winning combinations in Silent Run slots are awarded for combinations of identical symbols across an active payline.

The payouts of the low values start with the 10 and J each awarding 5, 25 and 60 for three, four and five matching symbols. They are followed by the Q with 5, 30 and 75, and the K with 5, 35 and 100. The highest-paying low-value symbol in the game is the A with payouts of 5, 50 and 150.

The high values start with the underwater mines awarding payouts of 15, 75 and 250, followed by the depth charges with payouts of 15, 100 and 350. The torpedoes are next in line paying out 20, 125 and 500 for three, four and five matching symbols, followed by the battleship with 30, 175 and 750 for the same number of identical symbols. The highest-paying symbol in the game is the submarine awarding payouts of 40, 250 and 1000 if you manage to land three, four and five matching symbols on a payline.

Silent Run Bonus Features

Echo Bonus

If luck is on your side and you manage to land the green Echo Bonus symbol on reel number three, you will trigger the Silent Run bonus game. In the first stage of this game, the Echo symbols will send three sonar signals to detect torpedoes. The number of torpedoes they detect, between two and five, will go with you into the following stage of the game.

Now, you have a chance to hit some ships with the torpedoes from the first stage. Each torpedo contains a multiplier which is applied to the value of the ship that you manage to hit. If you manage to hit with all five torpedoes, you could grab some big money.

Echo Wild

The Echo Wild on reel three is the key to the smaller bonus features. The sonar sends three signals revealing a random number of wilds hidden on the reels. The sonar wild and the new wilds jump into action hopefully creating winning combinations.
