40 Pixels Slot Machine - Play 40 Pixels Slot Free

Introduction

If you’re a fan of retro gaming then 40 Pixels will have your spin finger itching to play. It certainly looks great with its saturated colors and pixelated forms. But does the gameplay match up to expectations in this 5x3 slot with 40 paylines? Read on to find out more.

If you’re looking for great looking games Felix Gaming slots always deliver. But when it comes to gameplay you might feel less satisfied. To its credit Felix Gaming has kept this retro themed slot defiantly old school, but if you want features and big bonuses you won’t find them here.

There is a Lucky 7 Wild that does the usual substitutionary duties and a Star Scatter that serves up the game’s top prize. But you won’t find any free spins or bonus games making this the ideal game for new players who want to keep it simple.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

Visually there’s a lot going on in 40 Pixels. It definitely keys into our nostalgia for old school arcade gaming - see the Snake slot demo from Live5 Gaming for more proof - and the graphics are superbad.

We’re guessing the pixelated view of farms and fields is to represent the link to the fruits on the reels - we were instantly reminded of compelling casual games like Farmville and Stardew Valley. It’s incredibly well done and gives the player something to watch as the dead spins roll by.

The fruit symbols are classics brought up to date - or fast forwarded - to the 1980s and lovingly pixelated. There are all the old favorite including cherries, oranges and lemons and juicy watermelon. The star and the 7 date right back to the beginning of slots in the late 1890s.

So 40 Pixels is kind of an homage to traditional fruities and the glory days of arcade games. There’s an on-point synth heavy soundtrack that you’re going to love. If you don’t there’s always the mute button.

40 Pixels RTP and Variance

If you like to make an informed decision about the slots you play you’re out of luck as Felix Gaming hasn’t provided intel on the RTP or volatility of this slot. If you like simple games with cool graphics this game should appeal, but the 500x top prize is nothing to write home about.

How to play 40 Pixels

This Felix Gaming slot is a doddle to pick up and play and their user interface is well designed and optimised for desktop and mobile platforms. If you haven’t played a slot by this developer before, here’s how to get started:

1. Click on the pixelated i at the left end of the interface bar. This opens up the paytable for information on paylines and symbol pays.

2. If you want to mute or unmute game sounds, click the speaker symbol at the bottom right.

3. Bet’s range from 2.00 to 400.00 per spin - use the + and - buttons to adjust to a stake you’re comfortable with or use the max bet button to play at the highest available bet.

4. When you’re ready to spin there are two options - either play one game using the spin button marked with the 2 arrows, or click autoplay. This will launch an infinite number of autospins which you can end by clicking the button again.

Remember to set a session budget that lets you enjoy this Felix Gaming slot while protecting your bankroll, and set a reality check so you stay in control of your gaming.

Bet Sizes & Paytable Wins

This slot is definitely aimed at the high rollers with spins starting at 2.00 coins to 400.00.

Given the (estimated) high volatility the paytable is somewhat disappointing and with no multipliers or free spins to boost your bankroll the blank spins can get frustrating.

Here are the five of a kind wins, which pay out in multipliers of your bet:

• Star Scatter pays 500x
• Lucy 7 Wild pays 25x
• Watermelon pays 10x
• Grapes pay 5x
• Plum pays 2.5x
• Cherries pay 2.5x
• Orange pays 2.5x
• Lemon pays 2.5x

40 Pixels Bonus Features

If you’re looking for the usual features - free spins and pick and win bonuses - you’ll leave empty handed. This is retro gaming kept pure and simple with just two symbols to look out for the Lucky 7 Wild and Star Scatter.

If you’re new to slots, and this is the perfect game for a beginner, the wild replaces every other symbol except the scatter. It has the potential to create multiple winning lines and pays 1x, 10x or 25x your stake when 3, 4 or 5 land on a payline.

In most slots the scatter triggers the free spins feature, but not in this game. Land 3 or more of this symbol anywhere on the reels to earn a payout that’s 5x, 20x or 500x your bet.

40 Pixels Review

40 Pixels is like a game of two halves. The audio-visuals are great with plenty of vibrant color set to a buzzing electronic soundtrack. And the gameplay itself sticks firmly to its old school roots with wilds and scatters bringing the big pays.

But we wanted more innovation which seemed to get lost between the inspiration and the execution. Great for new players though.
