Neon Strike Slots
There’s some parts of gaming you can’t help but love, even if they side with the old ways more than the new. It may be the layout of the grid, or the minimal paytable, but we can’t get enough of the straightforwardness of those games. This is why we appreciate the 25 winlines of Neon Strike so much, because it brings you considerable entertainment, but without having to lay it on thick. You’re never overwhelmed.
It’s understandable that that’s the case though, for Capecod Gaming are behind the neon lights of this title; they’ve been around since the 1980s, so they definitely know their stuff. We value that above new companies and brands, simply because newcomers tend to not grasp what the customer wants. They’ll throw in gimmicks, focus on novelty, and miss the whole point of what makes slot machines so enjoyable. You don’t have to worry about any of that happening here, Neon Strike is an uncomplicated slot that delivers entertainment through simple means.
A Sea of Colours
Seeing as we know that there’s going to be limited variance here, we should really take in the sights of the paytable and what it offers. There’s 10 symbols in total that are normal, cash paying tiles, while the last icon is a wild symbol. As we all know, wilds tend to not pay money but substitute other symbols, and so it works out as a small time special feature. Due to the volatility of this title, which is on the medium side, we’d say it’s unlikely that you’ll be making many matches of this image.
Returning the rest of the table, you’ll see that you have a steady increase in cash rewards, with the top amount coming from the three BAR icons, topping out at 1,000 credits per five of them. We’d like to add that the amount you receive isn’t dependent on your bet, and so everyone playing has an equal chance of hitting that figure. It’s nice to see a game so accessible to budget gamers and high rollers alike, for it’s not seen as much nowadays.
Watch That Needle
Even though we said that this was more of a traditional game, there’s a feature that can be found inside the gameplay, as demonstrated by the Multi Meter on the left hand side of the grid. This gauge is there to mark up all the winning spins you make, with each spin upping the multiplier you’ll receive. The only problem with this is that the gauge falls back to zero if you fail to make win after win. It’s quite a hard hitting feature for those without luck, but should you spin and win, you can expect up to x32 of your winnings!
We love that this is the only bonus to Neon Strike, as it really drives home how amazing simpler gameplay can be. There’s a quick input of high energy, from the meter, but then it returns to a much softer and slower pace; it’s still exciting, but on a more relaxed level. If you can’t tell, we adore Neon Strike.
Manic Times
Seeing as Neon Strike is clearly a retro themed slot machine, we thought it made sense to continue that theme into the next slot machine you try. If it so happens that you don’t like that genre, there’s always slot machines from Capecod Gaming, like Er Colosseo to play. There you’ll travel to Ancient Rome, and fight to the death against man and beast.
Retromania, created by Endorphina, is a slot machine that brings to life, in a very visually stunning way, the vintage tone of the 1940s/50s. We grant you that it goes way back in time than the 80s of Neon Strike, but sometimes you need a little something extra to jazz up the experience. Retromania has 9 winlines, ensuring that the simplicity from Capecod Gaming’s title is extended across both experiences, however Endorphina have included a few more features to try out in their title.
Neon Dream
Capecod Gaming have done it again, at least they have as far as we’re concerned - they’ve created a thoroughly enjoyable game, but one that derives pleasure from basic gameplay and not fancy frills. They’ve made their title affordable, and they’ve made it so that regular wins are fairly easy to come by, but that you still receive a challenge. It’s what all slot machines should strive to capture and be like.
