Overview

Some people just hate the 80s: too loud, too much hairspray, too big hair, too much aerobics and frozen food. Too much of everything! Others adore those times: so much sweets, awesome music, plenty of time outdoors and Space Invaders. Or Pac-Man. The era evoked so many different emotions. It seems like a great reason to bring those times back and get a taste of them from a safe distance. So join in the fun in the ‘So 80s’ slot brought to us by Rival.


If the slot is so 80s then the gameplay is so Rival. Here we get a five-reeler with 15 lines to bet on. On one line you are free to bet from one to five coins each worth from 0.01 to 1.00. The total bet is thus worth anywhere from 0.01 to 75 per spin making all sorts of gamblers happy.


As for the rules, they are the same as everywhere else. Here, to win you need to land a combo of matching tiles on the line of your choice. The combinations start from three symbols. The first symbol has to land on the first reel from the left. Those are common rules for pretty much any modern slot. The minimum combination is as usual a set of three tiles. To figure out the win, multiply the number of coins per line by the price of the combo you have hit.


The tiles here are in tune with the 80s theme. They are designed to imitate square-pixel graphics of the arcade and early video games. And they are bright. Who hasn’t dreamt of neon hairbands or leggings back in those days? So rejoice: here at ‘So 80s’ there is enough neon to satisfy all the interested parties.


Partially the tiles are card icons. Five 10s are worth 30 times the line wager. The same amount of Jacks are paid 35x the bet. Queens are worth 45x the stake for the maximum combination. Five Kings are paid 50x the stake. And the same amount of Aces is paid 75x the line bet.


The rest of the tiles are purely 80s. A set of five Leg Warmers will be paid 100 times the bet. Five Ghetto-blasters will be worth twice more, 200x. Next tile is a Big-haired Blond. For the set of five your line wager will be multiplied 750 times. The tile with a Man in groovy red sunglasses is worth the same. There is also a Jackpot icon. It’s a Smiley face. It’s paid as much as 800 times the wager for the maximum combination of five.


Those were the standard tiles. Apart from those there are also some scatter tiles. Doubt any slot can do without them nowadays. Here, we get a Wild. It replaces any standard tile to create a winning combination. The Wild tile is the Atari Game. At the ‘So 80s’ slot the wild is Expandable. It takes up the whole reel to create more winning combinations whenever this is possible. The Wild expands only on the first, the third and the fifth reels. What’s more the wild here is also a pay symbol that can create winning combinations. The set of just two wilds will be paid 10 times the bet. For the combination of five Wilds, your bet will be multiplied 5,000 times. Remember, when we talk about scatter icons we mean that the wins with them are not multiplied by the line bet, but by the entire spin wager.


The next special-feature tile is a Free Spin scatter. It is an icon with a Break dancer. If you land at least three Scatter tiles on the reels, you will be granted 15 free spins. The feature is re-triggerable. You may get up to 10 free spins while spinning for free. Of course, you can’t change the bets while free-spinning, the bet stays fixed. But the free games come with a 3x multiplier for all the wins. The Scatter may also be used to form winning combinations the same way the wild does. The minimal combination with the Scatter is also a set of two tiles. It will be worth 2x the bet. The five of a kind here will be worth 75x the wager.


So unusual to see a slot about the 80s today, when the majority of casino regulars are millennials. It might be truly wild for them to deal with the times when for a drink you could be offered a glass of Tang or Creamola Foam. Nope, no organic unsweetened herbal tea here, folks. But who knows, this shocking experience might be good for everyone. Those were fun and vibrant times. And a wholesome nostalgic trip from the safety of your own laptop never done anyone harm. Especially considering the house edge of about 4% here.
