Dodge mines, depth charges and torpedoes to success

With 5 reels and 25 pay lines, this war time submarine themed slot from NetEnt comes packed with some explosive results.

The Silent Run slot lets you travel back to a warlike time when the surface of the oceans were scattered with warships, and just under the surface, submarines lurked in the depths, waiting for the right time to strike.

In this Silent Run slot machine you are the commander of the submarine. Your aim is to hunt out those enemy ships and destroy them for huge wins, using your echo wilds and echo bonus game.

Scattered between the metallic high card symbols, you’ll find depth charges, torpedoes, underwater mines, submarines, warships and the red light wilds scattered across these five reels.

The highest paying symbol is the submarine but that’s not where you will get the biggest wins of the game. With wilds showing up often it’s the two bonus games that you will be rewarded with a victory over this Silent Run slot game.

Search & locate hidden wilds

The first of the two and the one that hits the most frequently is the Echo Wilds Bonus. In our experience they show up every 20 – 30 spins or so.

When a red sonar screen appears on the centre reel (reel 3), it will send out a sonar in search of any extra wilds hidden below the other symbols.

Otherwise known as getting extra random wilds at random times. You’ll get a minimum of 1 up to a maximum of 14 extra wilds on the reels… but don’t get too excited. Winning this war takes time, and usually you’ll find about 2 or 3.

That said, if you’ve got some high paying symbols on the reels and get a decent amount of wilds this can lead to some very big slot wins indeed. Or so we’ve heard from other players testimonials. We usually only managed to get about 10 – 15x our bet.

Shoot down the boats… and the wins

The second of the bonus games is the Echo Bonus Game. When you find the green sonar screen on reel 3, it will send out a ping searching for hidden enemy ships and reward you with anything from 2 to 5 torpedoes to shoot at.

Once it’s found them you’ll be taken to a different view where you’ll look through a periscope at the enemy ships on the surface of the sea. You then get to pick as many to sink as you have torpedoes. If you hit the premium ship you’ll get the biggest rounds of the game.

On each pick the multiplier goes up from 1x up to a maximum 10x on your fifth choice.

We’ve managed to get 50x our bet wins here, on three torpedoes alone. But if you manage to line up 5 picks, and find the premium ship on the 10x multiplier, you can win upwards of 200x times your bet.

Medium to high variance for all types of slot players

With sounds that immerse you into the action, you’ll be able to get some pretty decent wins here. With a 96.1% return to player rate the Silent Run slot game has some good and worthwhile base game wins.

And with the echo wilds and bonus game showing up often, with at least one showing up every 30 spins or so, your balance can stay pretty steady for a game that once it heats up… keeps paying out.

It probably doesn’t hit as high as the WMS slots like Raging Rhino or the Red Flag Fleet slot. Mostly because they have free spins, whilst Silent Run does not.

No free spins but plenty of fun

It’s the giant  grey octopus in the room. As we mention, this popular feature is missing from the Silent Run online slot. But that doesn’t mean you won’t have something to look forward to.

Those two bonus features provide you with some fun thrills, and with the betting range of 0.01 to 125 per spin, it gives all but those with the very biggest gambling funds to enjoy.

Not a fan of the nautical theme? Give some other NetEnt slots that pack a punch a go, including Dead or Alive and the Day of the Dead slot. Not as nautical, but just as good.

However, if you feel like being enlisted in one of the most profitable wars in online casino, then put on your best sailor suit, and join the crew of this NetEnt sub as you go in search of those warships and the riches that they contain.
