Best Retro Themed Video Slots

August 31, 2018

Retro keeps coming back in fashion. Since the last few years retro themed video slots are in. These are five reels slot machines that use the classic three reels slots icons as symbols. One of the main reasons for their popularity is that mobile gaming is growing fast and the simple retro graphics show up beautifully on the small screens of smartphones. This article recommends two excellent retro themed video slots, one from Playtech and the other from Microgaming.

The Playtech title is Jackpot Bells. It has only five paylines in the 5x3 reels structure. The symbols on the reels are 7 and retro fruit symbols. The 7 awards the highest line payout of 1500 times the line bet. All symbols appear stacked on the reels. This leads to more frequent payouts and compensates for the few paylines and the moderate line payouts. The bell is the wild symbol. It will expand across the entire reel. Five bell symbols on any active payline results in the progressive jackpot being awarded. In keeping with classic slots philosophy there is no scatter symbol or any bonus feature in Jackpot Bells. The maximum line bet is $5.00 and the maximum total bet per spin is $25.00.

The Microgaming slot with this theme is Retro Reels. To give an authentic feel, the 5x3 reels are set in the console of the old land based slot machine. The symbols are cherry, plum, lemon, single, double and triple Bars, 7s of different colours and the dollar sign. The highest line payout of 10,000 coins is awarded for five dollar sign symbols in an active payline. The bar and 7 symbols also pay in mixed combinations. There is no wild symbol. The Free Spins Logo awards scatter payouts and triggers up to 25 free spins. All payouts during free spins are doubled. The highlight of Retro Reels slot game is the Respin feature. You can pay an extra price after any spin to respin only one chosen reel while keeping the other four reels fixed. The costs of the respin for the reels are displayed below each reel. On a respin only the new wins that involve the reel that spins again are paid. The Respin feature can be exercised any number of times in succession. The respin amount is a sunk cost and not added to the bet. The feature is disabled when the bet amount is changed and during the free spins bonus round.
