Introduction to The Racaroon S'mores
The Racaroon S'mores is a casino slot from Playtech where we join our sugar-loving furry friend for a night out in nature. While most people out camping at night hide their sweets away from wild animals, Playtech seems to have a different idea, as we meet a very familiar raccoon that we first met in 2025 in The Racaroon, and later in 2026 in its sequel, The Racaroon 2. But even if you’ve experienced those titles, The Racaroon S’mores plays quite a bit differently, while still keeping to its Hot Zone and Cash Collect gameplay loop. However, while the base game and core mechanics seem the same, we have a new bonus game in the form of the two marshmallow bonus Free Spins feature, with each bonus being able to add additional Hot Zones or Wild Multipliers. But this comes at the cost of a few other bonuses and mechanics. Even so, The Racaroon S'mores offers some pretty volatile spins around a cozy campfire and a max win of 5,000X the bet.
The Racaroon S'mores takes us out of the typical pastry shops and makes us camp underneath the starry sky, where sweet wins and prizes await.
Theme, Gameplay, & Payouts
The Racaroon S'mores is a video slot from Playtech with 5 Reels, 3 Rows, and 40 Paylines. You can choose between making a Min.bet of 0.1 and a Max.bet of 100. The Racaroon S'mores comes with a lower-than-average RTP of 95.93%, high volatility, and an okay max win of the bet.
Compared to its predecessors, which take place in various pastry shops in the city, we now find ourselves surrounded by Mother Nature, sitting down at a small campfire. Our beloved raccoon friend joins us in his scout uniform, wearing a sash filled with various badges and holding a plethora of sticks and marshmallows. You can play the game on most desktops, mobiles, and notepads.
The lower-paying symbols are 9, 10, J, Q, K, and A. Creating a win with 5 of the same symbols will pay out 0.3X to 0.5X the bet. The higher-paying symbols are various camping items, including a set of utensils, a folding chair, a coffee cup, and a lantern. Landing a win with 5 of the same symbols pays out 0.7X to 3.5X the bet. We also have a handful of Special Symbols, including Wilds, Cash Prizes, and Special Jackpot Prize Symbols, which we will go over in the Feature section.
Special Features & Mechanics
What is the max win in the slot The Racaroon S'mores?
You can win up to 5,000X the bet.
What features are available in the slot The Racaroon S'mores?
The features are Wild Symbols, Cash Prize Symbols, Rewind, Free Spins, and Feature Buy.
Wild Symbols
Wild Symbols help form winning combinations by being able to substitute for all symbols except Cash Prize and Special Prize Symbols. However, they can only land on Hot Zones, which, in the base game, are the center positions, and in the Free Spins bonus game are any unlocked positions. Whenever a Wild lands, it will also throw fire onto one or both Marshmallows above the playing grid.
Cash Prize Symbols
Cash Prize Symbols, as well as Special Prize Jackpot Symbols, can appear on any spin, but will only pay out if they land alongside and are collected by a Wild Symbol. The Prizes are as follows:
Cash Prize Symbols = Can land with a random prize of 0.5X, 1X, or 1.5X the bet.
Mini Jackpot = Awards a prize worth 5X the bet.
Minor Jackpot = Awards a prize worth 10X the bet.
Major Jackpot = Awards a prize worth 50X the bet.
Mega Jackpot = Awards a prize worth 500X the bet.
Rewind
During any spin, if no Raccoon lands in a Hot Zone or no Prize Symbols land on the reels, the Rewind feature can trigger, rewinding all spins to either add a Raccoon or Prize Symbols onto the reels.
Free Spins
Each time a Raccoon lands, it will throw fire on one or both Marshmallows above the playing grid, having a random chance to trigger the Free Spins feature with 10 spins. Both Marshmallows come with their own bonuses, be it Zone or Multiplier, which can be upgraded by landing additional Raccoon Symbols. The Zone bonus adds additional Hot Zones for Wild Raccoon Symbols to land on, while the Multiplier adds a Multiplier, ranging from 2X to 10X, to the same Wild Symbols. Both bonuses will also award additional spins, and the bonus game ends when the spin counter hits 0.
Feature Buy
Through the Feature Buy, you can instantly enter the bonus game for a price based on the current bet.
55X = Awards the Free Spins feature.
Final Thoughts on The Racaroon S'mores
While barely a year old, the Racaroon series has already seen quite a few sequels, with varying degrees of success, but, at least to us, it is one of the more fun themes and settings that Playtech has delivered on. The Racaroon S'mores, however, completely deviates from its predecessors, and while we enjoy the new setting, we can’t deny that the only real connections between the series are the presence of the raccoon mascot and his Hot Zone mechanic. But we might just be asking for too much, as we still enjoy The Racaroon S’mores’ new vibes, and its new features have, at least somewhat, become a bit thematic to the new setting.
Speaking of features, as we mentioned earlier, while The Racaroon S'mores still comes with the same core of Hot Zone and Cash Collecting mechanics, it does play a bit differently. However, this new gameplay loop is locked to the bonus game, and this also comes at the cost of some pretty defining features. The loss of bonuses such as Golden Macaron and Win Multipliers can feel quite heavy when it comes to the base game, as it has now become a bit too featureless, outside of the new Rewind bonus, which is quite lacking in comparison. On top of this, the Prize Symbols have been a bit more streamlined, now being split into Cash and Jackpot prizes instead of the old stacking system, which was a pretty divisive mechanic.
These are features that truly made the series, but at the same time, at least in our opinion, we received a better bonus game than the old Respins, which were highly dependent on the Win Multiplier. Compared to that, the new progressive Marshmallow Bonuses in the Free Spins feature feel more exciting. This makes The Racaroon S'mores feel like a completely new game, as it plays quite differently from its predecessors, for better or worse, as the new Cash Prizes are quite small and could be a deciding factor. But at the end of the day, even if it loses some defining mechanics and features, we believe Playtech delivered on a surprisingly fun slot experience.
The Racaroon S'mores is a slot release part of The Racaroon series, however, with a few new tools, Prizes, and bonus games, it instead leans on a progressively more volatile Free Spins feature with additional Hot Zones and Multipliers.
