Rumble Rumble Pokie Slot Machine
Named after the sound of the stampeding bulls that feature prominently on the reels, Rumble Rumble is a pokie from the Ainsworth range that sees various animal symbols charging around the screen, while lots of extra features, including a free spins game that plays on a giant set of reels all combine into an exciting game.
While the rumbling of charging bulls should be enough to strike terror into anyone and may well be the last thing someone hears, the pokie is a far more entertaining prospect, which has the signature style from this popular developer. Alongside the free spins, there’s also expanding wilds and scatter payouts that can bring in some decent winnings, and while Rumble Rumble is an easy game to learn, it’s got enough going on to keep both new and experienced players happy.
Rumbling On
In normal play, this is a perfectly standard-looking game, where the symbols are arranged over 3 rows, and there’s 100 paylines running across them, which should be enough to land plenty of winning combinations. Having 3 or more of the same symbol land across an active line running left to right on adjacent reels will result in a win, although there is a scatter symbol that can appear in any positions.
Bets can range in size from 0.01, or 1.00 if all lines are activated, up to 75.00 per spin, and there is an Autoplay function for those who want to just watch the reels spinning over and over without having to click a button each time. Up to 100 spins can be set in motion, stopping once pre-selected win/loss limits are reached.
The usual playing card icons 9, 10, J, Q, K and A are found here, and although they are used across most games from Ainsworth, they are well designed and will create the more frequent, lower value wins. All cards pay 2x, 3x or 5x the amount bet per line when 3, 4 or 5 land across the reels, which isn’t much really, and so players will be hoping to land the animal or bonus symbols as often as possible.
A stag, horse, eagle and wolf represent the animal kingdom, while the most valuable of the standard symbols is a mountain, and this will return wins of 3x, 8x or 25x the line bet when landing across the reels.

Bonus Features
Certain reel positions can be surrounded by red or blue edges and these will trigger the first of several bonus features that add plenty of interest to Rumble Rumble. The bull is wild and when he stops on reels 2 or 4, in a blue-edged position, the whole of the reel will turn wild, but if he stops in a red-edged position on these reels, then it gets even more exciting.
Having the bull stop on reel 2 will turn all of reels 1, 2 and 4 wild, which automatically makes whatever is on reel 4 part of a winning line, while the bull landing in any position on reel 4 will turn 3, 4 and 5 wild.
Anyone lucky enough to get the bull on reels 2 and 4 in red-edged positions at once will see the entire game turn wild which will result in 100 winning lines in a single spin.
A wild coin will also substitute for other symbols to help complete winning lines, although it doesn’t expand anywhere, while the scatter coin pays out 1x, 10x or 100x the total stake when it stops in any 3, 4 or 5 positions. Once the scatter wins have been paid out, it will then launch a free spins round which sees the reels expanding from 3 rows to 9 rows for the 8 games which play out.
The bull will still create stacks of wilds and turn entire adjacent reels wild during the free spins, while getting any 2 or more scatters will see another 5 spins added on to the end of the current round.
Is Rumble Rumble Just Bull?
This is a fairly typical pokie from Ainsworth, as it’s got lots of generic symbols seen across many other games, but then throws in some surprise bonus features that make it a potentially very rewarding experience.
A good bet range and the chance for multiple wins in a single spin makes even the normal run of play a little more engaging than many similar games, but players will be wanting to get the expanding wilds as these are what brings in the big prizes.
Standard wins with the playing card symbols are actually quite small, but at least they will occur reasonably often, and maybe even several times in a single spin.
