Old Mac Dollars - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

Head down to the farm with the Old Mac Dollars online slot with its farmyard full of features and the chance to pay to increase your grid size, enjoy free spins, and boost the winning potential of the game.

Old Mac Dollars theme and design

Old Mac Dollars is obviously a take on Old MacDonald, the famous nursery rhyme. It should come as no surprise that the theme of this free slot has a farmyard feel.

In all honesty, we are not sure about the childlike nature of this theme and the cartoon-book feel of the design given the target audience of free slot games. We prefer a more adult focus, such as that offered by the Propaganda slot, but there is no doubt that the Old Mac Dollars slot is a colourful affair.

The game field is made to look like a vegetable garden, with a mill and a farm in the background. The sounds only play when you are not actually playing the game, which we quite liked but may disappoint you if you enjoy sounds as you play.

The symbols on the grid are all farm-related, as you might expect given what we have already told you in this slot review. Icons include cows, sheep, pigs, turkeys, chickens, pumpkins, tomatoes, and wheat.

Old Mac Dollars RTP and variance

This High 5 Games online slot officially has a variable RTP, which means it can alter. In this instance, it doesn’t alter according to where you choose to play but according to how much you choose to pay. 

We had a look at the options out there, in terms of where you could play this game, and we found it listed with a theoretical return to player ratio of 96.9 per cent. This is above the 96 per cent average you might expect from a free slot but, as just mentioned in this Old Mac Dollars slot review, there is room for manoeuvre and it seems like this RTP only comes into play if you earn the slot’s Spin-Crease feature.

The variance of the game is more average. This is a medium variance online slot, which is a popular choice amongst all sorts of players. It should offer some decent wins without the high-risk feel of some of the higher volatility free slot games out there.

How to play Old Mac Dollars

Get started with this free slot with the help of the following handy hints:

1. This game is played on a standard grid; however, you can pay extra for the power bet feature, which can increase the number of rows. This also gives you the chance to buy free spins using the activate now link.
2. Click the bet tab to choose your stake. Choices range from 0.20 to 800 per spin.
3. There is a + symbol in the top right-hand corner, then use the ‘i’ link to look at the game information section.
4. There is an autoplay option if you want the game to spin automatically while you sit back and watch the action unfold.
5. Never bet more than you can afford to lose. You can take advantage of the self-exclusion and timeout functions if you feel that your gaming is getting out of control. 

Bet sizes and prizes

You can bet from 0.20 to 800 per spin. Match three to five symbols for a win, with the highest-paying standard icon being the cow.

Old Mac Dollars review: our verdict

The sheer number of bonuses available in this game will make it attractive to many players; however, others will simply find it too complex. We enjoyed the challenge of working out the game but we understand why others will yearn for more of a traditional feel and perhaps an even higher maximum win.
