Play Disco Night for Free

If you are a fan of 243 ways to win slots, you will have surely come across top Taiwanese online casino developer, CQ9. Based in Taipei, CQ9 Gaming mainly cater for the Asian market, and that is evident in the developer's range of online slots. Chinese imagery is packed into games like Treasure Bowl and Wukong Peaches.

But 1970s discos are an area not generally visited by CQ9 Gaming. That's all changed with the Disco Night video slot. Players can enjoy a funky soundtrack, lots of spotlights, and a cool neon glow over the whole game area.

As in a lot of CQ9 Gaming video slots, Disco Night is played on a 3x5 reel arrangement and there are 243 ways to win. That means that winning combinations are paid out when you match symbols on adjacent reels. Gamblers can play 1 coin across all win ways but there are 12 betting levels if you want to bet at a high limit.

The game works through a web browser and is perfectly mobile-optimized. We found that a larger tablet was ideal for playing the free Disco Night slot machine. Just ensure you have a good, modern version of Google Chrome running on your device.

Disco Night can't really be described as a fruit machine as there is little in the way of fruit displayed on the screen. Most of the symbols are taken up by BARs and 7 icons, but there is a juicy-looking cherry to score one for the fruit team.

The low limit payouts are reserved for the BAR, BAR-BAR, and BAR-BAR-BAR symbols. The spread of prizes is pretty flat, which might give the casual gambler some hope. The BAR icon pays 10-100 coins for three to five of a kind, with the BAR-BAR icon paying the same. The BAR-BAR-BAR symbol pays 15-125 coins. The purple stars pay 15-125 coins.

The higher limit symbols are represented by the bells (30 to 200 coins), the cherry (40 to 250 coins), and the blue and red seven. The blue seven pays 50 to 300 coins and the red seven pays 75 to 400 coins.

During play, the player is quite reliant on hitting two or three combinations at once. A lot of symbols appear stacked on the reels so that's a real possibility.

CQ9 like to put a generous free spins bonus feature in their slots, and Disco Night is no different. The glittery yellow diamond will animate when it lands on the reels. It also acts as the slot's scatter symbol. You will have to land diamonds on every single reel in order to activate the bonus game.

12 spins are awarded to begin with. You will also earn a bonus multiplier depending on how many scatters you originally hit. Five diamonds gets you a bonus multiplier of 1x. This will increase by 1x on every free spin. Six diamonds means your bonus multiplier starts at 2x, and it will increase by 2x on every subsequent spin. Finally, if you trigger the feature with seven diamonds it makes your multiplier start at 3x with a 3x increase on every subsequent spin.

You can retrigger the feature with at least five extra scatters but there is a maximum of 50 spins and a 150x multiplier available.

You can also look out for the star wild symbol. This will replace all symbols in the game except the scatters. There is no multiplier attached to the wild.

If you want a solid alternative 5-reel disco slot to play, NetEnt are a good port of call for punters. Check out the funky Disco Spins video slot from the Scandinavian developer. There is a fun Dance Floor Wild feature where players can win real cash when dance floor tiles light up over the reels. The game also features a lucrative free spins bonus with up to 15 games available. There is a 3x multiplier attached to all free game wins as well.

While Disco Spins is a funky little game, it doesn't quite have the payline action of Disco Night. We recommend adding one of CQ9's other recent online slots to complement your game list. CQ9's Red Pheonix slot has a cool Walking Wild feature with a 3000x line bet jackpot. It is a little more volatile than Disco Night but with its four rows there is a tonne of action for the gambler.

When you look at new online slots releases, there is always a developer bringing out a fresh twist on the classic game. Nostalgic slots will always have a place in players' hearts, and with Disco Night CQ9 are on to a winner.

The 243 ways to win format gives players of all stakes a chance to hit some regular wins. And the bonus multiplier makes the free spins feature a lot more interesting. Give the free Disco Night slot machine a play for free and see if it's worth having a boogie with.
