Retro Slot
You certainly cannot beat the classics, especially when it comes to online slot machines. Take a trip back in time in Red Rake Gaming’s latest release; Retro, with its superb graphics, great sound effects, wilds and free spins in this one arm bandit style slot machine.
Red Rake Gaming are no strangers to classic, because out of a catalogue of 72 thrilling slot titles, 8 of which are retro fruit machines, the seven other titles include; Super 5, Super 7, Respins ∓ Diamonds, Extra 100X, Two Diamonds, Lucky Wheel and 777 Colors.
Take a step into the casino room in the Retro slot machine, where the only object of the game is to spin and win. Place your bets from as little as 0.60 or as much as 195.00 – if you are a high rolling slot machine playerh. The more you bet, the more you could potentially win in this 2,000 coin non-progressive jackpot slot.
Spin the Stats
Retro features 5 reels and 30 paylines – which are not fixed. You have the ability to play 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 or the full 30 paylines. The more paylines you have active – the more chances you have of spinning in a win.
Design-wise, you are taken into an empty casino – where it’s just you and the slot machines. Your Retro slot game has been designed to look like a one arm bandit, but you don’t have to pull the handle to get the reels spinning – you simply use the buttons on your screen to start playing. The reels are set in gold with your paylines stamped into the metal frame surrounding the machine. To the top of the machine is where you will find your remaining balance.
The control panel to the lower of the reels allows you to select your paylines and bet per line by using the arrows – your total bet is shown at all times prior to spinning the reels. Whatever you win will be shown in the display panel to the lower right of the machine.
The symbols that make up this game are what you’d commonly find with a classic fruit machine, but they have been designed to look almost 3D, these are; golden bell, dollar sign, lemon, orange, cherries, plums, single bar, double bar, triple bar, treasure chest and diamonds.
Maximum Returns
There is a maximum of 2,000 coins to be won whilst playing the Retro slot game. Your payline must consist of 5 of a kind of the diamonds to be awarded the non-progressive jackpot. The golden bell awards the second highest payout of 1,000 coins with the triple bar awarding 500 coins.
Game Features on Offer
Due to Retro slot only being a classic fruit machine, you won’t find too many features on offer. You have scatters and wilds along with free spins, which have the potential to boost your balance, but you will need to look out for special symbols. These are:
- Scatters: the treasure chest jammed full of jewels and coins is the scatter symbol. Three or more awards you with 15 free spins with a multiplier of 2x being added to your winnings.
- Free spins: during your free spins bonus, you have the potential to earn more free spins, by triggering more treasure chest scatter symbols on your reels. Your free spins will be played out on a special set of reels
- Wilds: the diamond is your wild – not only will this award the jackpot, but it can replace other symbols on your reels (except the scatter) to create winning combinations.
Nostalgia
You certainly get a feeling of nostalgia whilst playing Retro – it’s a great addition to the online slots community. We found it to be a medium variance slot with plenty of wins to be had during the base game, plus we managed to trigger the free spins bonus regularly. Retro has a return to player (RTP) percentage of 95.5% - which is in-keeping with the other classic slot machines from Red Rake Gaming.
Red Rake Gaming have created a slot machine that not only allows you to think you’re playing a real slot machine but one that offers big cash prizes. During one spin of the reels playing maximum stakes, we managed to trigger a big win of 1,820 – thanks to a combination of wilds and cherries. Retro slot game wouldn’t be the same without the wilds – which on their own can transform this game from a basic slot to a fun and exciting one.
