Vegas Nights Slot
The bright lights of Las Vegas turn the reels of Evoplay Entertainment’s Vegas Nights slot machine into a dazzling sight. Hopefully the gameplay and special features will brighten up the day of anyone spinning symbols into the right positions, with wild substitutions, random multipliers, free spins and scatter awards being among the treats waiting to be claimed.
Everything glitters and flashes, from the title, stars and palm trees above the reels to the images of the replica Eiffel Tower and Venetian clock that fill the night sky of the real city. There’s nice animations of a fountain and a gold frame surrounding the main part of the game, so anyone looking for a nice subtle slot machine with muted colours should probably search elsewhere.
It all happens over 5 gambling-themed reels and across 9 paylines, with regular wins created by landing 3 or more of a symbol type across a line, in an unbroken sequence from the left side. While free Vegas Nights video slots are available, the entry point to get the reels spinning for real cash prizes is only 0.09 and those with larger budgets can adjust this up to a high limit of 1800.00.
What Happens in Vegas?
In common with many slot machines, the playing card symbols are used to fill out the lower end of the paytable, but each is presented in a bright colour that adds even more visual impact to the game. The 10, J and Q are all worth the same, paying out 5x the amount staked per line when stopping on 3 reels, while 4 of a kind are worth 20x and a full run of 5 pays 50x. The K and A symbols are both worth 8x, 25x and 88x, and with the number 8 being considered lucky in many countries, this game of good fortune will appeal to a global audience.
Picture symbols related to the gambling of Vegas fill the top part of the paytable, starting with a set of dice that’s valued at 15x, 50x or 250x, then we see a stack of chips that return the same coin wins, and the top awards in the base game come from a winning Poker hand that can leave gamblers flush with cash when it pays out 25x, 250x or 888x the line stake.
Any win can be gambled in a fun double-or-nothing game. Clicking a button takes players to a second screen where a beautiful hostess stands beside a wheel of fortune. There’s Win and Lose segments on the wheel, along with a couple of Draw sections, and triggering wins are doubled in value, lost, or returned to players depending on what stops against a pointer. There’s the further option to collect or gamble again if it was a successful spin.
Wild Roulette Wins
Although it only appears on the middle 3 reels during the base game, the Roulette wheel is a wild symbol that substitutes for all except the scatter, completing winlines when it’s in the right places. On top of this, any line that it completes, whether it’s by filling in a gap in a run of matching symbols, or extending a win to the fourth reel, will be randomly multiplied by between 2x and 5x.
Scatter Payouts and Free Spins
The famous ‘Welcome To Fabulous Las Vegas’ sign is also a useful scatter symbol, which pays out 5x the total stake when 3 appear in any positions, while 4 at a time are worth 25x and there’s a big reward of 100x the bet when 5 scatters land at once. Once the payouts have been made, players are given 10 free spins and during these bonus games, the wild symbol will be able to land on all reels, returning 25x, 250x and 888x the line bet.
It’s still able to substitute for others and multiply the value of any combinations that it completes, so with a little luck, punters will get some nice wins before the free spins are done.
Should It Stay in Vegas?
This glitzy online slot machine has enough flashing lights to give migraines and a jazzy soundtrack that most players will probably want to mute after about 30 seconds, but the design is sure to appeal to those who like the whole Las Vegas atmosphere.
The only real negative we could find is that it’s not mobile-optimised. Other than this, we found the Vegas Nights slot to be a reliable game, where the wild multipliers are triggered fairly often, and the free spins round is quite easy to get.
A nice touch is the optional gamble round, where the animated hostess and wheel can double a win, but like any side game of this type, it’s just as easy to lose a prize, so be careful.
