Sonic Links (Just For The Win) – Review & Demo Play

Sonic Links Slot Overview

I went in expecting a classic-themed Link&Win shelf-filler, and Sonic Links delivered a fruit slot blend of 70s to 90s style with a synthy electronic soundtrack. It runs on a 5x3, 25 payline layout from Just For The Win, set at high volatility with a 96.06% RTP. The headline is the Link&Win feature with jackpots up to 5,000x, and Echo Chance offers a neat route into it. You also get a Free Spins round with a multiplier, plus stacked wilds that can span reels.

Sonic Links Slot Information

The backdrop is a blue and purple glow with semi-transparent reels, and the Link&Win ladder sits above, showing prize tiers up to 5,000x. Wins pay left to right on 25 fixed lines, requiring at least three matches from the first reel. It’s built for desktop and mobile, and the presentation mixes retro fruit machine symbols with a bright, electronic vibe that reacts to wins and features.

Wilds arrive stacked in sizes two or three high and can cover a reel. Fill the grid with wilds and you’re looking at a 1,000x outcome, which kept me interested during base spins. Outside of stacked wilds, the base game is fairly bare, so most punch comes from features. That suits the volatile model, as the bigger moments sit in Link&Win and the Free Spins wheels that add a multiplier layer.

Sonic Links Paytable

The lower pays are classic fruits. For five on a line, cherries and lemon pay 1x your bet, grapes pay 2x, and plum pays 2.5x. The higher-value set keeps the old-school feel: BAR pays 5x, star pays 7.5x, seven pays 10x, and diamond pays 15x for five-of-a-kind. It’s a tidy spread that keeps the focus on features rather than chunky line hits.

The W wild substitutes for regular pay symbols and also pays 40x your bet for five on a line. It doesn’t replace scatters or coin symbols. Coins don’t form line wins; they carry cash values or jackpots used in Link&Win. Jackpot coins come as Big, Major, or Mega, tied to fixed awards in the feature rather than the standard payline model.

Sonic Links Slot Features

Echo Chance triggers when 3 to 5 coin symbols land in the base game. You usually need six coins to start Link&Win, but Echo Chance spins the last 3 to 1 indicator lights tied to coins. If the remaining light or lights turn on, you’re in Link&Win with fewer than six, which saved a few near-misses for me over a long session.

Link&Win starts with three respins, and all triggering coins stick while the rest of the grid clears. Only blanks, coins, and jackpot symbols appear. Any new coin resets the counter to three. Jackpot symbols pay fixed amounts: Big 25x, Major 80x, and Mega 300x. Fill all 15 positions with coins and jackpots and you land the Sonic Jackpot worth 5,000x. All coin prizes are totalled and paid when the feature ends.

Three scatters on reels 1, 3, and 5 activate Sonic Free Spins. Two wheels decide your setup: 10, 15, 20, or 25 spins, paired with a win multiplier of x2, x3, or x5. The multiplier applies to all wins in the round. Land another set of three scatters to retrigger and receive the same number of extra spins you started with. Link&Win cannot trigger during Free Spins.

Sonic Links Review Summary

Sonic Links feels like a tidy, fairly generic Link&Win entry, yet it plays well. Stacked wilds can turn a screen, and Echo Chance is the one smart twist that rescues close calls. The Free Spins wheels add decent heat with multipliers up to x5, while the 5,000x Sonic Jackpot gives clear top-end focus. High volatility means patience; the 96.06% RTP is standard, and some venues may use ranges. For me, the feature game carries it; the base is serviceable.
