Party Line Slots
Get the party started with this retro 3-reel slot machine by Novomatic software. Party Line has one single payline upon which players can line up some classic party props into prize-winning sequences.
That said, this party is far from being an all-night rave. In fact, it's probably more like a kids' birthday party with a small range of wagering options and no action on the bonus gameplay front. Nonetheless, there may be cause for minor celebrations with a line bet multiplier jackpot which is worth 4,000x.
Put on your spinning shoes
Who doesn't like a party? Well, Playtech have put on a decent spread of party decorations with this fun and colourful novelty slot machine. Upon the 3 reels, spinners will be treated to a range of game symbols to help them loosen up and get into the fiesta mood, such as various punch cocktails of different colours, a boom box radio, piano keys, a saxophone and, of course, some obligatory party hats with streaming ribbons. What else do you need?
Naturally, this slot machine is filled with vibrant colour to keep the atmosphere fun and exciting. As such, there is no space in the entire game screen that isn't given up to bright blue or purple background with many multicoloured balloons and party hats dotted around the reels. Even the game's paytable – which appears in the top right-hand corner of the screen – will flash with various lights while the game is not being spun.
Meanwhile, a funky backing track will blast out alongside the occasional shout of: “it's party time!” Just in case you didn't know that this slot machine had a party style theme...
Place your stakes
Before players can start spinning the night away, they will have to place their wagers. Since there is only 1 payline available to play with, this is a relatively straightforward process. In fact, players simply need to decide whether to place coins that are worth 0.01, 0.02 or 0.03 credits in value. After that, spinners can choose whether to play with 1, 2, or 3 coins by toggling the “Bet One” button below the reels. And this is where it gets (slightly) interesting.
Punters may notice that there are three columns of prizes in the slot machine's payout table, and that each of these columns will become highlighted whenever they choose to play with 1, 2, or 3, coins on the payline. What this ostensibly means is that players who choose to play with 3 coins will receive a range of prize multiplier values that are tripled in value to those which are offered to players who play with only 1 coin.
However, this is (mostly) not the case, because only one coin is multiplied by the various prize multiplier values, regardless of how many coins players play with. So, even though the prize values appear tripled in the third column for 3 coins and the prizes in the second column appear doubled for 2 coins, players will still receive the same ratio of win to total bet as players who only play with only 1 coin.
In fact, the only benefit of playing with all 3 coins (except, of course, for the larger overall wins) is the fact that the game's most valuable icon pays at a slightly higher ratio in relation to the total bet. You can see all of the different prizes available in the table below:
Where's the special entertainment?
For such a fun spinning party, this slot machine sure does disappoint when it comes to bonus action. That is to say that there aren't any extra gameplay features at all! Therefore, punters will have to make do with the simple nature of slot machine without any novelty gimmicks to break up the spins. What's more, there isn't even an autoplay feature, meaning that every turn must be activated with a click of the “Spin” button. So, you won't even be able to do a little boogie while the reels move on their own accord.
Cause for celebration?
Regardless of the fact that it has no spectacular bonus features, Party Line is sure to appeal to spinners out there who are after some simple 3-reel gameplay with a unique novelty design. Plus, you can't have too many complaints with a straightforward slot that offers a jackpot of 4,000x. It might even be worth a celebration or two of your own if you land on that top payout!
