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

Introduction

Neon and online slots go really well together. The neon may have a bit of an '80s vibe to it, but that’s not a bad thing. And there’s nothing like a splash of neon bright colour to liven up an otherwise retro fruit machine slots game.

Browse through our collection of games, and you’ll find quite a few developers have gone down the neon route. From Neon Cowboy and Neon Jungle to the weird, futuristic vision of the Neon Staxx free slot, the eye-catching colours make these the perfect go-to games for playing on smaller screens. And with the majority of players now preferring to play their favourite slots on smartphones and tablets, that’s an important consideration.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

Neon Classic is a modern take on the fruit-based slots game in which all of the fruits, BARs and bells are created from neon. It makes for a colourful game, set against the background of deep space with occasional shooting stars for some extra interest. There’s an ambient synthesiser soundtrack that is almost hypnotic after a while and can lead to playing the game for longer than you intended, so be warned!

Neon Classic RTP & Volatility

Platipus Gaming haven’t published the RTP and volatility details for Neon Classic, so we can only advise caution if you’re thinking of wagering any of your own cash on the game. We’ve seen the RTP listed at various ratios from 94% to 95%, which isn’t particularly promising. But the only way to find out how far your bankroll could potentially take you is to try the game out in demo mode as extensively as you possibly can - we suggest a minimum of 500 spins. We’ve got lots more Platipus Gaming demo slots to show you, too, as well as hundreds of games from all the best software developers. So if Neon Classic isn’t the game for you, we’ve got one somewhere on our site that you’re bound to love!

How to Play Neon Classic

The layout of Neon Classic is clear and uncluttered, making it fairly straightforward to play.

1. With no paylines to think about, you just need to decide how much to stake. Adjust your coin value at the lower right of the game; this is multiplied 25x to arrive at your Total Bet, shown to the left.

2. Press the Spin button to play out one game at your selected bet level.

3. Play out multiple automated spins for hands-free gaming. Tap the Autoplay button and choose how many automatic spins you’d like. Tapping the button again deactivates the feature.

4. Turbo gaming can be accessed by tapping on the double arrows just below Autoplay.

5. Mute the game sounds from the speaker icon to the lower left of the game.

6 Tap on the triple-line Menu to access game rules, paytable and statistics for your gaming session.

Bet Sizes & Paytable Wins

Coin values run from just 0.01 to 2.00 in Neon Classic. Although this is a 243 Ways to Win game, you pay just 25x your coin value to spin the reels. So you can wager from 0.25 to 50.00 on every game. Match up three, four or five symbols on adjacent reels from left to right to win a cash prize. Amounts are shown as multiples of your coin value.

9 = 3x, 10x, 25x

10 = 3x, 10x, 25x

J = 3x, 10x, 25x

Q = 4x, 15x, 40x

K = 4x, 15x, 40x

A = 4x, 15x, 40x

Plums = 10x, 75x, 250x

Cherries = 10x, 75x, 250x

Bells = 15x, 100x, 400x

BARs = 30x, 150x, 500x

Lucky Red 7s = 50x, 250x, 1000x

Neon Classic Bonus Features

The Wild symbol doesn’t appear on reel 1, so it can’t form any winning combinations of its own. But it can substitute for all the other game symbols, which makes it an incredibly useful asset on the reels. A well-placed Wild can plug a gap in a potential winning combo to trigger a cash payout for you, and that’s always welcome!

Neon Classic doesn’t have a Scatter symbol, so there are no Free Spins in the game. Quite often, that can be a big disappointment; after all, a Free Spins bonus gives you a chance to recoup some of your previous losses, so it’s a valuable asset for a slots player. But Platipus Gaming know how to generate some extra excitement. They’ve included a fun and potentially incredibly lucrative Synchronised Reels feature, and it comes with every single spin.

Spin the reels of Neon Classic and at least two reels will synchronise. If those two reels happen to land on reels 1 and 2, it makes it particularly easy to land at least one win. But three, four or even all five reels can link up and synchronise in this way, leading to some seriously big cash prizes if you’re playing for real money.

Overall Review

For some classic slots action with a lovely, ambient vibe, Neon Classic is a good fit. Gameplay is simple, and the colourful graphics and relaxing soundtrack make this an easy game to while away some time. And the Synchronised Reels mechanic can spin up some astonishingly big payouts. The lack of player return information and volatility is a cause for concern, so make sure you trial the game extensively before risking any of your own cash!
