Party Night Slots
Who can resist the lure of a party night? Girls dancing. Guys getting on down. Drinks flowing. Inhibitions lowering. The idea of a party is a great one; it’s just the reality that often fails to live up to expectations. The inordinate amount of time it takes to get ready. The taxi ride across town. The prospect of getting there only to find that the party is dead and you’d have been better off staying at home.
Well now you can. Now there’s a way for you to have your cake and to eat it, to have your party and not leave the house. And the best bit? You don’t even have to host it. Just hit up your favorite casino and get fired into Cozy Games’ Party Night.
Party Night, which promises an RTP of over 94%, takes all the staples of a typical house party – punch, pizza, sixers, revelers – and crams them into a 5x3 slot. You don’t have to dress up or leave the house: all you have to do is press a button and watch some reels spin. Sure, it’s not as sociable as a conventional house party, but it’s far more lucrative. With the right symbols on the pay line, you stand to pocket a pretty packet.
We Going to Party Like Its 1999
Parties can assume many forms and Cozy Games’ interpretation of one is the wholesome sort you might find in Friends or any other 90s sitcom for that matter. Sure, there’s alcohol, but otherwise theirs seems to be the sort of party your parents would approve of. Spin the reels and you’ll see a series of fun but innocuous symbols drop into view: a party popper, a couple dancing, a party hat, a tub of dip and a cocktail stick skewering some nibbles.
If you’re expecting this party to have a banging soundtrack, you’re in for a disappointment. The sound effects in Party Night aren’t bad, but they’re unexceptional, put it that way. If you’re going to play this slot, you’d do well to mute the audio and turn up your own party tunes.
Party at the Pay Table
They key to mastering any game is getting to grips with its pay table, the built-in playing guide that details the symbols to covet and the ones to avoid. In the case of Party Night, the lowest value symbols, worth a mere 100 for 5 in a row, are the party popper, cocktail stick snack and tortilla dip. Next up is the 6-pack of home-brew, worth 150 for 5 symbols, followed by the punch bowl and the pizza; 5 of each commands 300. Five party poppers or shot glasses are worth 500, leaving the couple dancing as the top value symbol. Land 5 of these in a line and you’ll receive 1,000.
Scatter on the Dance Floor
As with any video slot, the secret to winning large amounts of cash is to use the scatter and wild symbols to your advantage. The reality, of course, is that you’re not controlling anything: you’re just pushing buttons and an algorithm is deciding whether or not to award you more money than you’ve put in. Still, there’s no harm in at least learning what the symbols do, because forewarned is forearmed... or something like that.
Wild will substitute for any of the symbols except for scatter, as wild does, and is worth a tidy sum in its own right: 5 wild symbols in line will fetch a hefty 10,000. Nice. The symbol, incidentally, is played by a multiracial pair of bros who look extremely happy to be partying hard.
The scatter symbols appear as a champagne bottle and glass surrounded by bubbles. Party Night doesn’t have a bonus feature but what it does have is free spins and lots of them courtesy of scatter. Two scatters are worth 5 free spins. Three are worth 10 spins, 4 are worth 15 spins and 5 will fetch 20 free spins.
Party Night isn’t the wildest or most inventive slot you’ll ever play, but it’s pretty darn good fun nonetheless. Sure, the theme’s as cheesy as the dips, but what do you expect? This is video slots, where every trope and canard is mined for maximum effect. You’ll experience better and more memorable parties, but you’ll never have a night that possesses the potential to be as rewarding as Cozy Games’ Party Night and that’s a promise.
