Play Viva Las Vegas Classic for Free

It’s not always possible for each and every one of us to pack stuff and catch the next flight to Las Vegas. We are not ‘Hangover’ kind of people, either – meaning that we have to meticulously plan our next trip to Vegas, more so through the knowledge that it won’t be happening soon after that!

So, if someone offers us a chance to bring Vegas home, if not in reality, at least in thought – we would gladly take it. And that’s just the sort of deal Ash Gaming is offering us here with this slot.

It’s purely based on the gaming ethos and laidback vibe that Vegas is known all over the world for. In fact, the background imagery used in this slot is that Vegas itself, glowing brightly and decidedly at night.

Things have looked up so far, and we are happy about it. But the real test of a slot is when you try to see if its gameplay stands up to the standards that are usually used in the rest of the slot world.

At 5 reels and 20 paylines, the initial impression is that Viva Las Vegas Classic isn’t really going big for innovative ideas. But this impression soon gets shattered like a glass shard under a road roller, as you move ahead into the game.

Since the paylines are all fixed, there is no question of you manipulating them in order to maximize the profits. So, the best you can do is just Bet Max and be done with it. That, however, might not always be a wise idea because the ceiling for wagers per spin has been set as high as $100. Therefore, before you even think about winning loads of coins, you are forced to think thoroughly about your strategy. While we totally appreciate a slot that doesn’t lay it all out on a silver platter for the players, we have our apprehensions about this slot – particularly when it comes to patronage from beginners and novices.

The regular symbols used in this slot are more or less worn out with familiarity among slot players. So, we will just move ahead and discuss the special symbols of this slot.

The first has to be the wild of the slot. It is the game logo, designed to look all glittery and blingy, perhaps to highlight the fact that it pays out a whopping mini-jackpot of 10,000 coins when it adorns any active line with 5-of-its-kind combinations.

Casino chips are used as a stacked special symbol. Depending upon the stack position along reels, these symbols dish out up to 2,000 coins – not a bad number at all, if you are evaluating each coin at $5!

The scatter used here also doubled up as a temporary bonus symbol. It is a brightly painted wheel of fortune that can unlock free spins for lucky players, along with dishing out random cash awards regularly.

There is a very interesting gameplay option that many Ash Gaming slots possess, and Viva Las Vegas Classic is one among them. Yes, you got it right – we are talking about the ‘Backhand’ feature.

It lets you spin the reels backwards, meaning that all the rules applicable also reverse instantly. So, basically, you should be backing yourself to actually stay away from fruitful combinations when you play backwards. It’s all confusing – but that’s the real thrill of playing seemingly innocuous slots like Viva Las Vegas Classic.

This bonus is activated when you land three or more ‘mystery cards’ symbols on the screen. Here, the mystery cards are automatically revealed, and depending upon the suits of these cards, you are offered a complimentary stack of coins.

Thoroughly entertaining, Viva Las Vegas Classic is that kind of a slot that keeps you drawing back again and again. Just wager mindfully and you should be OK. Nay, more than OK – after all, potential big stashes of coins mean happiness, right? If not, this game manufacturer does have traditional titles like Leprechauns Luck for you to have a play with instead!
