Racing For Pinks is a Microgaming slot set at an illegal street-racing meet, played out on a 5-reel, 3-row grid with 243 ways to win. Its standout mechanic is a separate Bonus Race side-game, where three scattered car symbols launch a wager-style race against a rival that builds a multiplier carrying into the free spins that follow. Released in 2013, it leans on high-octane muscle-car graphics and a street-racing soundtrack to set itself apart from Microgaming’s other 243-ways titles from the same era.

Landing three or more Race scatters doesn’t pay out directly — it launches the Bonus Race, a pick-and-race side game where choosing a lane and finishing ahead builds a multiplier that climbs from 5× up to 175× before the free spins round even begins. The free spins themselves run up to 30 rounds and carry a flat 5× multiplier on every win, stacking on top of whatever the Bonus Race already delivered. Because the 243-ways format pays on matching symbols across adjacent reels rather than fixed lines, hits register reasonably often in the base game, keeping the pace steady between the bigger bonus triggers. Wild symbols round out the feature set, substituting for every regular paying icon and occasionally landing stacked on a reel, which is usually what turns an ordinary base-game spin into a multi-way combination worth noticing.
Pros
- 243 ways to win pays on adjacent symbols anywhere across the reels
- Bonus Race multiplier can reach up to 175x before free spins even start
- Free spins add a further flat 5x multiplier on top of the Bonus Race result
Cons
- Bonus Race needs 3+ scatters, so it doesn’t trigger often
- Standard early-2010s Microgaming visuals show their age
- Betting range tops out lower than some newer 243-ways racing slots
