retro tapes slot theme, stakes, pays & symbols

Blues and purples have become almost the de-facto colour scheme whenever you want to create something based around the 1980s nowadays, although funnily enough, I don’t remember those colours being especially dominant at the time. I was probably too young to remember correctly (Ed: You’re trying too hard now), but I’m sure I remember it being a fairly colourful era overall. Retro Tapes has a lot in common with the Jammin’ Jars games and other titles that they inspired, such as Space Stacks, so if those games were your thing, then I suspect you will enjoy playing this one.

I’m pretty sure that the sort of smug face appearance of the red tape is no coincidence; he’s feeling good because he’s sitting at the top of the paytable with a return of 1,000x your bet for a maximum cluster of 20 or more symbols! Behind him, you have the orange tape at 500x, the purple and green tapes at 25x, and then the blue and Woolworths own brand tape each at 5x your bet for the maximum cluster size. Not that you probably won’t be seeing a whole lot of 20+ symbol clusters, so it’s worth noting that smaller clusters of 17-19 symbols pay around one-fifth of the value of the headline numbers.

The betting range runs between €0.10 and €100.00 per spin, which is fine, but the lack of options between these two extremes may be an issue for some players.

base game & modifiers

The enormous reel set used in Retro Tapes is common to games of the Jammin’ Jars style, but those are the only machines I can think of which utilise this enormous 6x9 playfield design. As a grid slot, there are no paylines or payways to worry about here, and you simply need to assemble a cluster of five or more adjacent matching symbols anywhere on the grid to score yourself a win.

retro tapes slot bonus features

---

top charts feature 

Before the bonus round begins, the Top Charts feature will lock any instant prize and wild tape symbols in place where they were in the base game on the triggering spin. 

The game will then cycle through the playfield multiple times with only special symbols available to drop – wild tapes, wild multipliers, instant prizes, magnet symbols, extra spin symbols, and blank tapes all make an appearance here.

Any instant prize symbols appearing whilst the Top Charts feature is active will become sticky until the end of the bonus round, when the grid layout will be evaluated, and your winnings will be paid. Keep your fingers crossed for some hefty multipliers building, and connecting is this bonus round; it can lead to some massive wins.
