Couch Potato

No need for a time machine here – the old-school one-armed bandits are alive and well as long as Microgaming keeps making online slot machine games. If you like your slot machine action as classic as the Rat Pack at the Sands in Vegas, then you will love Couch Potato.

There are three reels. Although the player could see up to two symbols per reel once they stop spinning, there is only one pay line, and that's the horizontal middle line. When there is a symbol on the middle line, you will see a little bit of the bottom of the symbol above it, and a little bit of the symbol below it. But no matter what combinations you may see parts of, only the middle horizontal line is the winner.

Icons include cherries, one bar, double bar, triple bar, seven bar, cherry bar and sevens. You can bet from one to three coins on each spin, and each coin's value can range from .05 to five. There is an impressive 98 percent return to player ratio on this game.

The game's logo features a sleepy potato yawning and stretching, but he's not on the reels at all. Instead, a television with a screen that reads “Couch Potato” is the wild, and can substitute for any icon you need to make a win. With one wild it will pay out five times what you would usually win. With two wilds it will pay out 25 times what you would usually win.

Couch Potato has no bonus games, no progressive jackpot, no scatters or free spins. It does have the wild we mentioned, and its multiplier. There is also an autoplay option. So it's not a lot of flashy excitement with this game, but for those who loves the classics, you could do worse than Couch Potato.
