Disco Slot
Disco is forever, a way of life, a part of your soul. No one can take it away from you, even more so now that you’re playing Disco Slot. This 3-reel dance inferno is ready to convert all you would-be rockers out there into funk loving groovy dancers, with custom made platform boots only a few dance moves away.
However you choose to approach the dance floor, you only have a limited number of steps to manoeuver around with before you’re back to the beginning, and so careful execution is needed. With only 3 winlines and five symbols to find in total, you’re going to have to out dance Travolta when it comes to this online game.
Despite having a fair bit of glitz and glam sprinkled over every bit of the slot machine, the overall design is still relatively low impact; the background is alive with activity, but the actual network of images isn’t. This feels like it should have been a contemporary title rather than a retro one, more for the theme than anything else.
Dancing Shoes
If you’re a pro at busting out the disco moves, you’ll have put your shoes on already, and not a moment too soon as the betting is about to get underway. Think of your stake as your admission price for an annual dance competition - this is your time to shine and win back a huge prize.
There are six widgets upon the control panel, seven if you want to get technical, each of which do various things. The Coin Value is where you begin to narrow down the amount of money you’re willing to spend, with you able to start with a low figure of 0.10, afterwhich it can increase to 5 credits. Players can additionally choose to increase their stake a further x5, giving them up to €25 per line, leaving them with a total of 75 coins.
Arguably the most fun part of the controls though is the Autospins option, for it can make everything a lot faster and therefore give you a lot more free time. With that extra time you dance along to a soundtrack of your choice thanks to your handy MP3 player, proving once and for all that you like to boogie all night long.
Mirrorball Madness
Underneath that ball of silver and glitter, anything can happen - legends can be born and broken when the dancers are as skilled as the ones found here. To keep such talented players so entertained, a regular supply of wins need to be felt swiftly. The only problem is, making a winning like in Disco Slot is hard.
The grid is quite volatile, meaning you often just miss out on a win, the symbols teasing you when they’re positioned in the wrong place. However, when you manage to get a reward, many tiny stars will shoot out of the slot machine and into your face - a party for the eyes. It goes some way to appeasing us for the fact that we’ve hardly won a thing with this Gamescale game. We haven’t even made our bet back yet.
Out of all five of the icons, the purple electric guitar is what we want to rock out to, for it can payout as much as 800 credits, though for that to happen all 3 reels need to be perfectly in line. Seeing as this is hardly ever going to happen, it’s likely you’ll willing accept the lower payout of 400 coins for just a match of one.
What we savour most of all is that Gamescale has brought back the feature where any three symbols generate a win, meaning you’re given a slight respite from the harsh return percentage of the game. True, the amount is only valued at 4 coins a pop, but who cares when we can cry out that we’ve won something. An actual win from Disco Slot, hallelujah.
Two Left Feet
This game hasn’t got enough rhythm for us - it doesn’t put out an equivalent to what you put it, meaning you’re always going much further to gain something back. Dancing should be a two way street, even in gaming format, and so we doubt we’ll be playing Disco Slot again.
