In the Northern Territory of Australia, there are places where all you can see around you is red sand. That's where the name of Realtime Gaming's Red Sands video slot comes from, and that's why it uses an Australian outback theme. You're going to see wild animals across an Australian outback background for the majority of this game, so it's no surprise that Red Sands is full of color and surprises.
The most well-known animal from Australia is the Kangaroo, so it's no surprise that the Kangaroo symbol is wild in this game. The Kangaroo is a wild multiplier by a factor of two, and five of them on the same payline well give you the big 5,000x jackpot payout. The other big payouts in this game include a random progressive jackpot, five Koalas with a Kangaroo for a 3,000x prize and five Wombats with a Kangaroo for a 2,000x prize. As you can see, this game has a wide range of big payouts, and this drastically increases your chances of picking up a big score.
The Moonscape symbol is a scatter symbol in this game, but it doesn't work like many scatters do in other video slots. While you can get up to 50x your entire bet for five of the Moonscape symbol, you can get up to 10 respins whenever you pick up at least two of them. This gives you a chance to add to your scatter payout, and during the respin, Kangaroos will count as a scatter symbol with the same 2x multiplier. You get paid for your result on each respin, so it's easy to see how the moonscape over the Red Sands can lead to some big payouts.
