Viva Las Vegas Slot

Stop the press – we finally have our very own dream-within-a-dream sequence to gloat about! And by ‘dreams’, we mean ‘slots’.

Ash Gaming has finally achieved what thousands of slot lovers have hailed as A reinvention of slots with Viva Las Vegas, a brilliantly innovative game that aspires to break the shackles of convention and create something unique, entertaining and of course, lucrative!

Where To? to the Sin City!

There is no real need to gloat about how Las Vegas is the Mecca to gaming and gambling fans, because it’s just a self-evident truth. So, when a slot tries to accommodate the name of a city that is so synonymous with gambling, casinos and everything they host – including slot machines themselves, expectations are bound to rise high. This is where the real danger for developers lies. High expectations often lead to equally low disappointments. Ash Gaming, however, has successfully defied this trap with Viva Las Vegas, by integrating classic slot features with some cool, new-age, hip ideas.

The slot plays out with a massive backdrop of the Las Vegas the city at night. Glittering everywhere with neon lights and beams, this image somehow comes to define the slot itself, and that should be considered one of the major successes of this slot.

Gameplay: Worthy of Vegas?

It remains to be seen. In fact, it is quite an objective matter, and hence, it better be judged by individual players with individual takes on the issue. What we can do here, however, is give our readers an idea about how this slot really plays out.

For starters, it should be noted that this is much like any other slot with 5 reels and 20 paylines. Reels are standardized and paylines are fixed, meaning that there is little to none room available whatsoever for you to exhibit your line skills. So, all that is left for you to do is arrange your wagers as optimally as you can, and just hope for the best!

This brings us to the wager part of the slot. You can put at stake a minimum of 20 cents and a maximum of $5. All the wagers for any given line have to be converted into a solitary coin. So, it can be easy to see that the maximum permissible wager limit for ‘Viva Las Vegas’ is $100.

Now, this is a good number that beginners will find easy to compete against. High rollers, however, just won’t have much to do here, as rewards per successful spin are dismally low if you don’t strike special combinations.

A Vegas Drill

If there is something that Viva Las Vegas has got going for itself, it has to be the variety of special features it carries. Let’s take a look at them one by one.

• The wild - The wild of this slot (a flashy sign that simply reads ‘WILD’) is truly exciting, because if you get it to appear five times in a row, you can just sit back and for the 10,000-coin bounty to end up in your account. At the highest permissible value of each coin, this jackpot can make you $50k richer.
• The Scatter - The scatter of this slot is a stack of gold bars. It, however, is not as exciting as other special symbols. All it does is unlock a few free spins every now and then, in addition to showering you with 1,000 coins for rare 5-on-5 combos.
• The Bonus - A rainbow-wheel plays the bonus in this slot. If you land three or more of these symbols anywhere in view, it unlocks a special bonus feature for you. There is a fork in this path. You can either choose to play for cash or for free spins. A cash register can reward you with up to 500 coins and handy multipliers, while the free spin way will lead you to up to 30 free spins that can be easily cashed out if you are lucky enough.
• The Mini Reel - This is the main attraction of this slot. If you get the mini reel symbol thrice (or more) on anywhere on the screen, you get to play a basic 3-reel and 1-payline fruit slot, the winnings of which are added to your base game bounty.
