TRIVIA
Reelin-n-Rockin was released in July 1998.

This game is most noticeable for its 50's rock and roll feature jingle.

Unlike most machines with free game features, this game automatically starts the free games; there is no 'Start Feature' button.

As of December 2007, an amendment to Victorian gaming machine laws saw this game banned from use across the state, as all machines were now required to have a player information button in place of the service/reserve button, reject $100 notes and have the automatic play feature disabled.

UPDATES
On some machines, the Reserve button is replaced with a Service button which is used to page a gaming machine attendant. This button is more commonly seen in casinos.

SCORING
All pays are left to right, including scatters.

Grill appears on reels 2 and 4 only and substitutes for all symbols.

TIPS AND TRICKS

• All pays are left to right including scatters.
• Grill appears on reels 2 and 4 only and substitutes for all symbols.
• You can't press anything to speed up the free games, but if you insert a coin while the music is playing, the meter goes up by either 25's or 100's instead, depending on the machine. The coin trick doesn't work on the Crown Casino version as this version's win meter is hard-coded to count 1000 credits before incrementing by 25's. This can be a slow experience if you get 5 Records on a bet of 50 or more, as the game really lags up when the animations are all playing at once.
• Free Games Feature: Spin up 3, 4 or 5 Records for 10, 15 or 20 free games respectively.

During the free games the Grill substitutes are x3 and/or x5 respectively. If both symbols substitute in a win it is x15.
Free games can also be won during the feature.

It is common for some players to think the x3/x5 wins are x8, but this is incorrect.
