Razor Ways

Razor Ways takes the Razor Shark format and rebuilds it around an expanding ways-to-win engine. Released on August 7, 2024, it starts on a 6-reel, 3-row grid worth 729 ways and can expand up to 6 rows for 46,656 ways. The default RTP is 96.36%, Push Gaming rates it medium to high volatility, and the officially listed highest observed win is 25,000x the total bet.

The underwater setting carries over from the rest of the series, with starfish, diving gear, and shark symbols on the reels, framed by kelp and coral rather than the original’s rusted diving cage.

Expanding Rows and the Razor Reveal Feature

Only the bottom 3 rows are active at the start of a spin, with 3 more rows locked above them. A win, or an Instant Prize from the Razor Reveal feature, expands the grid by one row, and the grid can keep expanding up to the full 6 rows for 46,656 ways in total. Converter symbols are the trigger behind that growth: a Converter lands, cycles through the paying symbols present on the unlocked rows, settles on one, and turns every matching symbol on the grid, including itself, into a Wild. Mystery symbols landing on 3 or more consecutive reels turn into golden Shark symbols instead, each revealing an Instant Prize worth 1x to 5,000x the bet, a multiplier, a Collector, a Converter, or a Scatter, under the official Razor Reveal Feature name.

Progressive Free Spins

Landing 3 to 6 Scatter symbols awards 6 to 10 free spins with a starting multiplier between 1x and 10x depending on how many Scatters triggered the round. During free spins, glowing Mystery symbols collect on a meter, and filling it raises the round’s multiplier further as the spins continue. Players can also buy straight into the mechanics: Converter into Wild costs 67x the bet, Razor Reveal with 6 golden sharks costs 50x, Grand Razor Reveal with 18 golden sharks costs 150x, and dedicated Free Spins purchases range from 73x up to 466x depending on the starting multiplier and spin count chosen. A Scatter Push Bet (1.4x the total bet) and Mystery Push Bet (3x the total bet) are both available too, improving the odds of landing the symbols each is named for, and a combined version covering both costs 4x the total bet.

Razor Ways Review

Razor Ways is the version of the Razor formula built for players who want the grid itself to be part of the excitement, since watching the reels grow from a cramped 729-way start up toward the full 46,656-way ceiling carries its own momentum independent of any single win. The Converter symbol mechanic does double duty, expanding the grid and turning paying symbols into Wilds in the same action, which means a single well-placed Converter can meaningfully reshape a spin’s outcome rather than just adding one more row of blanks. Grading the volatility as medium to high rather than a flat high feels accurate given how much of the swing depends on whether the grid actually expands, since a spin that never grows past the base 3 rows plays considerably calmer than one that climbs toward the maximum. The three-tier Push Bet menu is a nice touch for players who want to nudge specific symbols rather than paying a flat premium across the board, letting a Mystery Push Bet target the Razor Reveal Feature specifically without also inflating scatter odds unnecessarily. Grand Razor Reveal at 150x is the standout Bonus Buy option here, since guaranteeing 18 golden shark reveals in one purchase is a meaningfully bigger swing than the base 6-shark version at a third of the price. Razor Ways doesn’t hit quite the same peak multiplier as its siblings on paper, but the expanding-grid format gives it a distinct identity within the series rather than feeling like a reskin of the same nudging-reveal mechanic all over again.
