Introduction to Classic 243

If you like modern, techy games, it is very likely that you will enjoy this slot from Microgaming. This is because the game has lots of generous features, including a free spins feature and a gamble feature, and the graphics have a cool futuristic vibe that will appeal to many players.

Classic 243 Review / First Impressions

This is a fun game with enjoyable gameplay. Sure, the main game is fairly simple, but there are lots of bonus features and special symbols to spice things up. For instance, the gamble feature makes every win more exciting, and the free spins round can result in some seriously impressive payouts.

Classic 243 Slot Graphics

The graphics for this game are very modern - and yet they are also fairly simple. Behind the reels is a blue screen, which fades from light blue at the top to dark blue at the bottom. There are also white dots scattered across the background, which makes it look like the sky (or perhaps some kind of futuristic computer programme). At each side of the reels are white lines, and these light up and glow as you spin the reels and form wins. This is a little basic, but it definitely creates a strong, modern vibe - and the simplicity makes it easier for players to focus on the reel action!

The symbols on the reels are also fairly modern, although they do kind of have a retro vibe to them. They are also more colourful than the background; you will see green, orange and red symbols, and they are all very simple and straightforward. The low paying symbols are represented by card numbers, and the other symbols simply say what they are; the wild is the word ‘wild’, and the free spins symbols is the words ‘free spins’. So it is fairly easy to work out which symbols do what!

Classic 243 Game Theme

This game doesn’t really have much of a theme. It is named after one of the main features in the game (there are 243 different ways to win), and the modern graphics are pretty basic. So it seems that the theme is simply ‘futuristic’’!

How to Play Classic 243 Slots

If you want to play this game you will need to set your bet level first. You can do this using the panel at the bottom of the screen, and your bet can range from 0.20 to 40 per spin (so there is a lot of variation here!).

Once you have set your bet level you can start to spin the reels yourself - or if you want you can spin them automatically using the Auto feature. This allows you to spin the reels for a set amount of time (such as 5 spins, 10 spins or 20 spins).

Classic 243 Bonus Features

Wilds

The game has wild symbols, and this symbol can be used to replace any of the other symbols on the reels (except the scatter symbol).

Scatters

The game has a scatter symbol which is represented by the word ‘free spins’. If you get at least three matching scatter symbols on the reels you will trigger the free spins feature, which will automatically pay out 10 free spins. You will also get a few stacked wilds for the duration of the free spins, which makes it even easier for you to form wins.

Gamble

Finally, the game has a gamble feature. When you form a win glowing rectangles will appear on the screen, and if you choose the right one your win will be doubled - but if you choose the wrong rectangle, you will lose your win. But if you don’t want to use this feature, don’t worry, you can opt out each time and hold on to your original win.

Classic 243 Strategy and Tips

It is impossible to predict how a game will go, so we don’t have any tips for the gameplay. However, we do recommend that you always set a budget before playing, and once you have spent up you should stop playing. This can be frustrating, especially if you are losing, but this means that you won’t ever overspend.
