Neon City - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction to Neon City

“Welcome to Neon City” in a deep male voice is the opening refrain when you first go to the game. The soundtrack is gentler and more middle of the road, not really what you’d expect from a slots game. We didn’t think it fit with the overall image of the game, although it perhaps fits with some of the retro features of the game. Visually, the game is appealing in a dark way. By dark, we mean colour, not sinister. The background is dark. The symbols are brightly coloured on a black background all sitting within a cityscape. Some players might find the colour contrast a little too bright.

Neon City is a Wazdan free slots game available on Slots Temple. Free slots games are always great as you get all the fun without having to worry about losing money. In this game, you use the question mark symbol to get to the game rules. One of the best features of this Neon Fruit slot is that the instructions are clear and easy to follow, something we found to be a pleasant surprise.

The hamburger symbol lets you change some of the controls to the game. For example, you can change the screen size using the space bar. The I symbol takes you to a full-screen version of the payout table, which is
clear and easy to see.

There are 20 fixed bet lines, with only the winning bet paying per line. Wins are paid for the same symbol on the same line from left to right. The exception to this is the Scatter feature, which will pay at any position on the reels. One of the exciting features of this game is that when you are in a free spins round, you can trigger more free spins. More spins mean more chances of winning.

The Mega Spins Bonus is triggered when the bonus game meter is at eight, and this awards eight free spins. One of the features of this game is that there are accumulating and decreasing symbols. The accumulating symbol increases the counter on the bonus meter, and vice versa. This is how you can get to eight free spins.

The total win in this game is 500 times your total stake, which may not appeal to all players. It’s quite low in the scheme of online slots games.

Special Symbols

Wild: This can substitute for all other symbols except the following three special symbols:

-Scatter: If you get three, four or five Scatter symbols, you will be awarded 10, 15 or 20 free spins respectively.

-Accumulating: This symbol increases the counter on the bonus meter game.

-Decreasing: This symbol decreases the counter on the bonus meter game.

Play Guide

The play button is the purple button with the two arrows. Auto play is the button with the right-facing arrow. This enables you to access the auto play settings. You can change the values of the bet by clicking the plus or minus button.

Gamble - The button with a pile of coins and x2 on it will give you the chance of doubling your current win - or losing it, if lady luck is not shining on you. You have the choice of taking your winnings or gambling them, halving the win and continuing with your gamble but with half the stake (if it is available). Alternatively, you can continue playing the game by selecting one of the two buttons that sit on either side of the ‘select a button’ sign.

If you are in gamble mode, you will see a metallic statue in the centre of the screen. It collapses if you lose. Unfortunately, we didn’t get to find out what happens when you win.

The button with the gold hand, palm held upwards, allows you to claim your win without the next spin. There is also a fast play button, which does exactly what you would expect so you can switch between normal, fast or ultra-fast.

An unusual and exciting feature of this game is that you are able to vary the volatility to suit your preference. This is depicted by symbols bearing chillies, one to three (high to low):

•    Low volatility: You will get more frequent wins, but the amount will usually be smaller. It’s perfect if you like shorter game sessions.

•    Standard volatility: This is mid-way between low and high and is great if you want to win fairly frequently, with high amounts.

•    High volatility: This will give you big wins, but they are not as frequent.

Our verdict

We didn’t like the soundtrack much, but that’s not a deciding factor in any game qw you can always turn the sound off. The retro symbols in this game are interesting as so many other games are vying for novel features. There are some exciting and different features in this game that made it fun to play, even if you won’t get the greatest winnings. Wazdan produces some great games, and this is set to be one of their best.
