So 80s Slot Machine - Play So 80s Slot Free

Introduction

If you’re a fan of neon-colored leg warmers, big hair and breakdancing, you’re going to love this retro slot theme. Just as in the Electric Avenue slot, you can take a journey back to the '80s, where you will really see the funny side of the questionable fashions and fads if you manage to make them into winning combinations. 

So 80s Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

This fun slot is packed with '80s imagery and even Space Invaders get to take part in the on-screen action. The theme is really strong and the graphics definitely fit the '80s style. You’ll have to decide whether that was intentional on the part of the designers or not. The soundtrack adds perfectly to the theme, however, and it's not beyond the realm of possibility that you’ll be smiling as widely as the Acid House faces after a few spins of this game.

So 80s RTP and Variance

Rival Gaming is definitely not renowned for its high return to player averages. In fact, many are well below the industry average of around 96%. So 80s has an RTP of 94.5%, so it's no exception to this rule but is probably around average for a Rival Gaming slot.

It is a low-volatility slot, however, which may appeal to you if you like the possibility of more regular smaller wins rather than waiting it out for big prize jackpots to roll in. Of course, there is no guarantee of wins, and this is something that you should always remember, especially if you choose to play for real cash.

How to Play So 80s

Get started spinning with the So 80s slot.

1. Pick how many coins you want to bet and how much you want them to be worth.
2. Decide how many of the 15 paylines you want to be active during your spins.
3. Use the Max Bet button to choose to play the maximum bet per spin.
4. Choose to allow the game to spin itself by using the Auto option.

Bet Sizes & Paytable Wins

There is plenty of betting choice on offer. You can bet between one and five coins on each spin and value these coins at between 0.01 and 1.00. This means that the minimum bet available is 0.01 a spin. There are 15 paylines to play, and if you chose to bet the maximum amount possible, you would have a maximum stake of 75.00 per spin. This should be plenty if you have a high roller inside you that is just waiting to spin those reels.

The prizes on offer are based on the number of coins you decide to play and how much you value these coins at. To give you an idea of the prizes on offer, here is the most you could win for some of the symbols:

Space invaders - 5,000

Smiley faces - 800 

Big-haired woman - 750

Ghetto blasters - 200

Legwarmers - 100

Card symbols - 4-75

So 80s Bonus Features

There are wild Space Invaders in the game that will blast away icons to help you to create winning combinations. They will also beam down triple prizes to help give your prize pot a boost.

You may not be able to spin on your head, but you might be able to appreciate the breakdancing moves if three or more cool breakdancing dudes help you to trigger this slot’s free spins bonus. Benefit from 15 free spins, along with a 3x multiplier if wins should land. The bonus can also be retriggered and you could get another ten free games if yet more break-dancers body pop onto the reels.

So 80s Review

You’re probably never going to choose Rival Gaming free play slots for their ground-breaking gameplay, design or choice of themes, but that doesn’t mean you wouldn’t enjoy giving the So 80s slot a try. Yes, the graphics look as dated as the hairstyles, but there is something charming about this little trip back in time. There’s enough attention to detail to make the theme feel strong and cohesive, and it’s a nice touch that the Space Invaders have been used to ‘theme-up’ the playing card symbols.

The betting choice is a major plus point with this slot, as it usually is with Rival Gaming slots, but once again sticking to type, the RTP is as disappointing as ever. Personally, we also prefer high-volatility slots over this low-variance offering, but we can’t help thinking that this is more about enjoying a memory-provoking jaunt rather than pursuing any major prize-winning potential. The Space Invaders don’t offer a bad top prize, however, although you’ve obviously got to hit that winning combination to make the potential count. The question will be if you have the patience to stick with this game long enough to see if the jackpot might land or whether it will lose its appeal faster than legwarmers and snow-washed jeans.
