If you’re looking for a real life gaming experience without venturing too far from the computer screen then Retro Reels may just be the slot for you.  As the name suggests, Microgaming’s Retro Reels online slot it’s a throwback to the classic Las Vegas-style slots and each of the symbols will remind you of what one-armed bandits used to be like.

Retro Reels features five reels and twenty paylines and we particularly like the way the game floats in the darkness like some sort of disembodied attraction. Those classic symbols we mentioned above includes bars, sevens, cherries, plums, lemons and a big gold dollar sign.

There’s also a scatter symbol labelled ‘5 Free Spins Bonus’ which unsurprisingly activates the bonus feature.

Bonus Features

Free Spins

This is a simple slot and comes complete with a pretty simple free spins feature which can be triggered by landing two, three, four or five of the scatter symbols.

You may think that just needing two of the symbols would make it quite easy to trigger this feature but in our experience that’s not the case.  Each symbol is worth five free spins so you’ll win between ten and twenty five spins when landing this feature.

Respin Feature

This is a tempting but feature but one which should be used with caution; after each spin of the reels you’ll be given the chance to respin any single reel to try and grab a win.  Each reel is priced individually according to it’s potential winnings and only wins including that reel can be won.

Retro Reels Online Slot Playing Tips

We always like to urge caution with the respin feature because it can be tempting to keep respinning until you lose your shirt.  Go for one or two respins and then give it up.

Verdict

Purists will like the traditional feeling of this slot but it includes a couple of bonus feature for those who also like a little extra.  Keep the sound on for authentic sound effects.
