Code 243 0 - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

There’s a definite Blade Runner vibe to this futuristic slot from Spinmatic. Fast-forward to the year 2430, when evil cyborgs will do anything to keep order. This 5x3, 243 ways slot tells the story of Code 243-0 and her fight to escape.

There’s a strong narrative and great audio-visuals, and Code 243-0 plays seamlessly on mobile and desktop devices when you fire up your favourite browser. But does the gameplay match up?

Well, yes and no. Spinmatic have focused on their central character and made her a stacked wild that can substitute for any other symbol except the pathfinder scatter. There are also five upper and five lower paytable symbols to play with.

You’re also looking out for her little pathfinder mascot, who triggers up to 20 free games with random multipliers that can run as high as 5x your win.

If you’re a fan of cyberpunk, then this cool and well-designed slot creates an immersive atmosphere. If you want to try it out in demo mode, then why not play your Spinmatic free slots at Slots Temple?

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

The term Cyberpunk was coined by Bruce Bethke, but it was William Gibson who really put the genre on the map with cult novels such as Neuromancer and Virtual Light.

Cyberpunk itself is a blend of high-tech and low life, never better expressed than in the iconic movie Blade Runner, based on the story ‘Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep’.

Spinmatic does a great job of capturing the dark world that features in this dystopian urban future where sinister mega-corporations oppress the Earth with their evil immortal cyborgs.

But Code 243-0 has different ideas as she gets in touch with her ‘human side’. She decides to flee with the help of her friend Incognito and their little pathfinder mascot.

The detailing in this slot is amazing with its Blade Runneresque backdrop and brilliantly drawn symbols. What brings it all together is a sweeping electronic soundtrack that plunges you into the world of Code 243-0.

RTP & Volatility

Some of the big drawbacks of this slot are the low 93.5% RTP and medium-volatility gameplay. Serious players will think twice, although the top prize of a potential 500x your stake does soften the blow.

How to Play Code 243 0

Spinmatic’s mobile-enhanced user interface is quite intuitive, but if you’re having problems getting started, here’s what you need to do:

1. Focus on the top right of the screen, where you’ll find the three-line Menu symbol - click here to open up the following menus:

- Settings, including sound and quick spins
- Bet Settings
- Autoplay Settings with 0 to 1000 autospins - or be brave and opt of spin endless games
- Player statistics
- Paytable, including features, symbols and way pays mechanic
- Game rules

2. Back on the main screen and still in the top right corner, click the Speaker to mute game sounds and the Rocket to engage warp speed spins.

3. If you didn’t already set your Bet, you can use the + and - buttons or Max Bet to set your stake on the main game screen.

4. When it’s time to play, either launch your Autoplay spins from the Menu or the game screen or hit the Spin button to start playing.

Enjoy playing Code 243 0, but take a few breaks and play responsibly.

Bonus Features

We’d have loved to see an additional bonus game in this slot that really deepened the storyline. As it is, the gameplay is fairly classic with a base game wild and some generous free spins.

Code 243-0 Stacked Wild

This stacked substituting symbol replaces any icon except the pathfinder robot scatter and can appear partly or as a single symbol during the base game and free spins.

Pathfinder Scatter

The cute little robot can help 243-0 escape to freedom, but first he’ll trigger up to 20 free spins:

- 3 scatters = 10 free spins
- 4 scatters = 15 free spins
- 5 scatters = 20 free spins

Rocket Ship Random Multipliers

For every free spins win you’ll be awarded a random multiplier of between 2x and 5x.

Overall Review: Our Verdict

A lot of thought has clearly gone into the visual design of Code 243-0. It’s just a shame the gameplay fails to match up. Spinmatic have created a fantastic gameworld, but the combination of wild and free spins with multipliers failed to excite us.

If you enjoy futuristic online slots, then try the unusual Mr Hacker from MGA. This hybrid fruit machine slot features a series of mini-games that lead to bigger and better prizes.
