A cyber attack is nothing to get excited about. However, Red Tiger has managed to make it a fun yet a bit stressful experience in its slot of the same name. Cyber Attack is a hacker odyssey with high variance and 1,024 ways to win. It’s a slot for the modern era that brings many welcome features which you can use to help the hacker breach the all-important system.

To be honest, we’ve barely seen hacker slots for real money in the industry, so this one’s refreshing. Instead of going with another Egypt slot or a fishing trip, Red Tiger decided to focus on an entirely different niche. It’s a slot for everyone who’s ever dreamed of hacking yet couldn’t do it because of, you know, legal restraints.

In Cyber Attack, you will act as the hacker but don’t think you’ll get off easy. The system will protect itself and repel your attacks, so you’ll want to bring you’re A-game for it.

No one can deny the fact that Cyber Attack looks a lot like a Cyberpunk 2077 spin-off. It’s not, but the vibe and aesthetics are obviously there. The theme is similar, too, although the whole point of the game is something different. The action takes place on a 5x4 grid with a rather familiar Red Tiger setup. That means the slot game is very easy to play.

There’s a hacker on the right side of the slot with a laptop just barely lighting up his face under the hood. He’s trying to hack into the system at all times. Depending on if he’s successful or not, you get various features. Modifiers can lead to solid wins in the base game, while the bonus round comes packed with other features as the hacker breaches into the firewalls.

As expected from a Red Tiger slot, the graphics and animations are top-notch. You’ll be looking at a slot with deeply set roots in the digital era and great aesthetics that perfectly fit the theme.

The Cyber Attack slot works on a wide range of mobile devices. It runs on both Android and iOS smartphones and tablets, with the only requirement being a stable Internet connection — no need for online casino apps.

Set a bet before you set off on your hacking journey. The range goes from $0.20 to $10 per spin, suitable for new and seasoned players. Premiums pay for three or more matching symbols in a combination all the way up to 2.2x for five of a kind. Wild symbols land on the three middle reels, and they can help complete or improve winning combos.

Above the reels, you’ll see a special meter. It’s called the Breach Meter. The hacker on the right will occasionally try to breach the system, and the meter shows his success. Even if the hacking attempt is not successful, you still get one out of three special features. A symbol hack drops a random group of symbols on the grid, a wild hack that adds random wilds, and a multiplier hack awards multipliers between 2x and 5x in random positions.

It’s safe to say that these modifiers can greatly improve your wins, so hold onto your thumbs that you land it often.

You'll enter the bonus round when the hacker successfully breaches the system (Breach Meter – 100%). You receive six free spins as part of the trigger with a random symbol infected by a hijacking virus. Whenever it appears, it is stored above the reels. Up to 20 hijacked symbols can be collected. One out of the three special features will also be triggered at random times to give your wins a boost.

When you get the multiplier hack, the number of hijacked symbols becomes the ways multiplier. Wilds can also be hijacked as the chosen symbol. Occasionally, the screen will glitch and award between one and three extra spins. The Breach Meter resets when you run out of free spins and return to the base game.

Cyber Attack’s RTP is a decent 95.68%, ideal for highly volatile slots. With a bit of luck and the right triggers, the slot can pay a maximum of 10,584x the bet.

We have to say that Cyber Attack is a refreshing and welcome game on the sometimes-stale slot market. Instead of going to Egypt or on a fishing trip, players are put in the role of a hacker trying to breach the system to claim various modifiers, free spin bonus deals, and other juicy features. It might not have a progressive jackpot or any features we haven’t seen before, but it’s still fun and rewarding.
