Lazy Bones Freeway - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

If you hate getting stuck in a traffic jam, help is at hand. Lazy Bones Highway is the fun way to spin your way out of a snarl-up in this 5x3 slot with 243 ways to win.

There’s not much to the gameplay with its classic features of wilds and free spins, but the retro look and feel of this slot with its pixelated graphics will appeal across the board.

There are some tasty multiplier wins to be had in the free spins feature, so look out for the cop cars that trigger this feature. And if you do get stuck behind that big truck, at least it subs in for any paying symbol to score more all reel wins.

It’s pretty self-evident that this slot looks the business on any HD mobile device, and if you just want to play for fun you can check out Spinmatic free slots right here at Slots Temple.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

If you’ve ever played slots like Playtech’s superb Pixel Samurai, you’ll immediately get the appeal of this Spinmatic game.

The visual style takes you back to the early days of arcade gaming, when everything was blocky and blurry but you thought it was amazing anyway. For some players the allure of those early days has never gone away, and developers still flirt with pixelated images to bring some retro styling to their games.

We really like the top-down viewpoint, which reminded us of classic games like Zelda, and the theme had us thinking of the Sims. Apart from the big red truck and the cop car you’ll find some nifty convertibles, a classic yellow taxi and even a Beetle on the reels.

The game world is brilliantly done with pixelated people and birds bringing life to the reels. Topping it all off is a magnificently thrashy soundtrack and the roaring of the engines - it’s so realistic you can almost smell the petrol fumes.

RTP & Volatility

This is a medium-volatility slot with a 93.07% RTP. The low payout ratio is partially mitigated by the opportunity to land some decent wins on a regular basis.

How to Play Lazy Bones Freeway

Although it’s been pixelated to fit the theme of the slot, the Spinmatic user interface is the same as ever. If you’re not familiar with games from this developer, here’s a quick rundown of how to get started:

1. The symbols at the top right let you speed up your spins (rocket ship), mute/unmute all sounds (speaker) or access all the game menus.

Bonus Features

Lazy Bones Freeway has invested a lot of its energy in the superb graphics, so the gameplay feels a little bolted on. This slot delivers classic wilds and free spins but not a lot else, which feels like a missed opportunity. Here’s what’s on offer:

Truck Wilds

You can miss the big old red truck with the word Wild on its roof. This symbol is always stacked, obviously, and replaces all paying symbols but not the cop car scatter.

Free Spins

The classic black and white police car acts as the scatter, and three or more appearing anywhere in any line of traffic trigger the free spins feature:

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

Free games play out with random multipliers from 2x to 5x on every win.

Overall Review: Our Verdict

We have to applaud Spinmatic for creating such a fantastic game world with its retro pixelated look. It’s just a shame the gameplay fails to match up with just wilds and free spins on offer.

If you like fun to play free play slots, then this should fit the bill, but don’t look for big wins.
