Miami Glow (Snowborn) - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

It may have been released in July 2020, but Miami Glow has a distinct, retro 80's feel to it. Look out for the Glow Scatter, which grants a free spin with Stacked Wilds, and the Sticky Wilds feature. If you're lucky, a 5 of a kind, a bonus and a random multiplier could combine for a big win.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

The developers have made sure there's nothing quiet about Miami Glow. This Snowborn Games online slot has a distinct party theme, complete with disco lights, cocktails and lipstick kisses. Everything shines in bright neon colours and the electronic music and effects sound like something straight out of the 1980s. The background music is gentle to start with, but ramps up a level each time there's a win. When a significantly big win lands, the sound increases and a full drumbeat kicks in, which eventually fades after a few win-less rounds. The pitch of the reels changes to match the musical chords, (except when Turbo spin is enabled) and even the random multiplier is in tune.

When the Glow feature is triggered you're treated to a full neon disco track with lights of every colour while the Stacked Wilds spin. It's a cleverly integrated theme, and while the connection to Miami may be subtle, the Glow is definitely there.

Miami Glow RTP & Volatility

Miami Glow Bonus Features

This slot boasts 3 features, a random multiplier, a free spin with Stacked Wilds and a Sticky Wild feature.

Random Multiplier

Each time you spin, the random multiplier to the left of the reels may light up either 2x, 3x, 5x or 10x. What's great is that it works for any wins during the base game as well as either of the two bonus features.

Glow Bonus Features

Land 3 Glow scatters and you're granted a free respin, featuring Stacked Wilds. With Stacked Wilds appearing on at least one of the reels during the bonus game, the chances of multiple line wins increases.

Sticky Wilds

Sticky Wilds act like ordinary Wilds, except they'll trigger a free spin. Land at least one Sticky Wild and it will stay in place throughout the extra spin. If another Sticky Wild lands in the meantime, you'll earn another free spin, and the feature will keep going until no more Sticky Wilds land.

Our Verdict

The medium to high volatility means that you can go some time without any wins, but when they do come in, they're definitely worth the wait. The random multiplier feature comes up frequently, but don't be surprised if it doesn't always coincide with a win to multiply. While the theoretical top win could be 5,000x the bet, it would take top wins on all 10 paylines plus the 10x random multiplier bonus for the maximum payout. We liked the retro neon theme, something shared by the Neon Jungle online slot from Iron Dog Studio. If retro is not your thing, there are plenty more party themed slots available to try.
