Music Stage - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction 

PlayPearls take us to a fun gig in Music Stage which is played on a classic 5x3 reel set which offers the player 20 fixed bet ways which pay left to right.
There is a wild symbol in the shape of a xylophone which substitutes for all other symbols apart from a scatter which generates free spins.
There are nine paying symbols in all. The top five are Amp, Record, Gramophone, Accordion and Synth Control. Lower value symbols are Piano, Guitar, Balalaika and Drums. 

Theme, Graphics and Soundtrack 

This slot has a musical theme, and the symbols are made up of instruments and the paraphernalia that bands need to create that special moment at a concert, although the vinyl record and retro gramophone with a horn seem slightly out of place.

The reel set is translucent offering a glimpse of the set design and we see the arms of adoring fans in the foreground. The symbols are a simple design and hark back to the sixties and seventies as does the soundtrack which features stringed instruments. 

Below the reels is an easy to read dashboard featuring the controls.

If this kind of slot appeals to you, there are many more examples of a music themed slot in demo mode here at Slots Temple, including the Guns n Roses slot.
If, on the other hand, you would prefer an adventure slot why not try one of the other PlayPearls slot games which can be found here at Slots Temple.

Music Stage RTP and Variance 

Music Stage has an official RTP of just 90.01% and we would rate it as low variance. Wins come along at a regular rate, and the wild often features, but the free spins mode of the game is hard to trigger in our experience. This means the slot will have limited appeal to players, and will almost certainly exclude any high rollers.

How to Play Music Stage

The game has an easy to understand dashboard, but here are a few tips to get you into the swing of things.

1. Once the main screen opens look to the left and you will see a speaker icon where you can mute the soundtrack if you find it distracting.
2. You can also click next to this to expand the game to full screen on your device.
3. The settings cog opens a new screen with the game rules and a pay table. Alternatively, click on the ”?” button to open up a new set of screens.
4. The first one describes the free spins symbol and how it rewards the player.
5. This screen also shows the wild symbol.
6. Click on the right facing arrow head and move to the next screen where you will find the pay table, and the free spins indicator.
7. Click right again to see thumbnails of the 20 pay lines.
8. Return to the main screen and on the right you can adjust your wager in the bet per line window.
9. Above the start button you can select a number of spins in auto play. Note that this feature cannot be customised and must be exited manually.
10. You are all set to play, simply hit the start button.

You have the opportunity to play Music Stage for free right here with Slots Temple, and we encourage you to take this chance to get familiar with the game before visiting an online casino to play for real.

Once you choose to play for cash, always set yourself a budget for every session and play the slot responsibly, leaving the site when the fun ends.

Music Stage Review 

Music Stage is a simple and easy to play slot from PlayPearls, but it is hard to be too enthusiastic about this delivery.

There are hardly any features and the gameplay is very basic. There are free games, and a wild which does turn up on the screen with a certain frequency, but other than that there is little to recommend this slot and indeed there are some things that mitigate against it.

The official RTP is woeful, and that is not unusual in slots from this designer. The bet spread is wide, but few high rollers will be taking advantage of that, given how basic the game is, the low variance and the poor RTP.

You can while away a session playing Music Stage without doing too much damage to your bankroll, but it is hardly likely to get the pulse racing or garner much excitement. 

All-in-all it is difficult to recommend this slot.
