This is the first game in the same-name lineup proudly presented by Microgaming. The software provider managed to transfer the classic appearance of old 3-reel slots to a video slot format. Older slot machines tend to have a single payline and 3 reels, but Retro Reels has been equipped with as many as 20 lines that run across 5 reels. The lines are customizable so if you are not planning to wager much, you can lower down the number of paylines you want to have in play. Besides, you can select a coin denomination ($0.01–$0.25) and the amount of coins (up to 20), therefore, the upper and lower betting limits are $0.20 and $100 per each round.

The symbols are adopted from classic one-armed bandits and include dollar signs, three variants of 7s, three variants of BARs, cherries, lemons and plums. Fruits and bar variations pay about the same (up to x250 for five of a kind), while the highest win for five identical sevens reaches x500. The slot enables the player to combine mixed sevens and mixed bars, which have lower payouts than their exact matches. A jackpot of 10,000 times your original line bet is paid out for five Dollar Signs collected on an enabled line. So if you have placed the maximum 100-dollar bet, you will earn a hefty $50,000 for the jackpot combination.

Bonus features

There is no wild symbol in the slot but you have a scatter that awards a free spin round. The scatter is depicted by the “5 Free Spins Bonus” symbol. As soon as you get just two of them in any position, you are awarded 10 free spins, and every subsequent scatter adds 5 extra free spins to the total amount, up to 25 for five Bonus symbols. All wins during the feature are doubled.

After every spin in the base game you will see a Respin button below each reel. By clicking a respective button, you activate a respin for the selected reel, while keeping the remainder stationary. The cost of respin varies for each reel and the higher chances are to form a combination, the higher price you have to pay.
