Flash Pays Demo Slot - Review for Canadians, Demo Play & Payout Info

Introduction 

When you are in the mood for a good solid game that’s a canny mix of nostalgia and modern touches, you can rely on this one. Flash Pays is one of Design Works Gaming slots, and the mix of familiar symbols and interesting bonus options means it appeals to all players. 

Graphics & Soundtrack 

This slot opens to an eye-catching scene of a diamond patterned dark red-orange background, which initially reminds you of a retro carpet pattern. The very colourful, lively and fresh looking reels sit against it, in a 5 x 3 reel pattern that is loyal to the visual look of old fashioned fruit machines. 

On screen you can expect to see all the familiar symbols that feature in a classic slot theme game like this. These are juicy cherries, shiny bells, single, double and triple blue sevens, BAR ad BAR 5 icons, plus a golden wild icon that subs any of the regular symbols.

There’s no background music in this slot, which some players will appreciate, and to be honest there’s little compensation offered through the in-play sound effects. As the reels spin you will hear a variety of short tunes, with a distinct sound added to announce wins.

Flash Pays RTP and Variance

Flash Pays is classed as a high variance slot, with a return to player rate of a very generous 97.11%. 

How to Play Flash Pays

Here’s a quick guide to setting this slot up, for those who need them:

1. Start by deciding on a bet level. The controls for this sit on the left of the reels and your wager can be adjusted using the + and - buttons.
2. The square with 3 horizontal lines leads you to the sounds and the music on/off toggles, a record of your play history, the paytable data and the game rules. It’s often handy to take a look at these before you start spinning.
3. At the right side of the reels is the large spin button, with the autospin button above it. Clicking on this offers 4 preset spin choices, of 10 - 25 - 50 - 100. After choosing a window pops up to offer more derailed game parameters. This is your opportunity to set both loss and win limits so your spins are personalised to your exact tastes.
4. You should be ready to play now, so enjoy. Please remember to always play responsibly, and when the fun stops, stop!

Flash Pays Review 
 

 
We enjoyed playing this updated classic online slot, not least because it comes with both free spins and the chance of grabbing a jackpot. The sounds don’t deliver the way the graphics do, but that’s only a minor quibble really.

There’s another great game that makes good use of the flash name, and that’s Flash Cash slot. The excellent visuals are spot on target for a fast car racing themed game, with the mean streets at night filling in as the race track. Line bet multipliers stretch to 500x your wager, which is a nice dream to aim for. Free spins, scatters and multipliers are the bonus features.
