Retro Reels

Retro Reels, the online video slot machine from Microgaming, is exactly what it sounds like – and that makes it a favorite for our players who want an old-school slot experience. The player dashboard is designed in a 3D way to make it look like you're sitting in front of a traditional machine on a casino floor, and the reels are designed to curve back as well, so it's a wonderful immersive experience.

In following along with the retro theme, the game's icons include plums, lemons, cherries, bar symbols, a white seven symbol, red and blue sevens, and a dollar sign. They're big and bold, so it's a great look even if you're playing on a small screen.

There is no wild icon, which is standard for a retro slot machine. The number five (5) is the scatter icon. You only need two – as compared to three in most games – to trigger free spins. Depending on how many appear on the reels, you could win up to 25 free spins. During the free spin round, all wins will be doubled. The free spins are awarded as follows:

2 scatters = 10 free spins
3 scatters = 15 free spins
4 scatters = 20 free spins
5 scatters = 25 free spins

There's also a re-spin feature, where after a losing spin you can pay an extra amount to spin one reel again for a win. You can do it as many times as you want, and the game is good about telling you the cost.

The game has five reels and three rows. There are 20 pay lines. The pay lines are enumerated on the left and right hand side of the screen. The minimum bet is .01 credits, and the maximum is 100 credits per spin. The most you can win is 440,000 credits, which is a great jackpot amount for a retro game. This amount can only be won during the free spins feature.
