Vinyl Countdown

'Vinyl Countdown is a treasure trove of memory and music, as well as a diary of obsessional collecting. Sharpe tells his story with a great deal of charm, his writing is entertaining and light and never gets bogged down in ‘train spotting’ detail. The vinyl countdowns are custom creations made with vinyl that we can put together for any age.

Vinyl Countdown

The wombat says: Grab your winkle-pickers Wombat Fans as we’re heading back to the 1950s with Vinyl Countdown slot. Let us set the scene at bit: in the 50’s rock ‘n’ roll music exploded – new singles were released on vinyl by record companies every week and the kids danced their (pop) socks off in shake shacks, burger joints and diners. The Jukebox ruled supreme and they were everywhere, and if you had a spare quarter you could choose to spin your fave record.

This Microgaming slot (from the makers of the Santa Paws slot) takes the theme of rock ‘n’ roll madness and runs with it (in fact we’re pretty sure there’s a touch of Danny Zuko and Sandy here, too). Time to spin the record reels!

Look and Feel

As you’d expect, the soundtrack to this slot is inspired by the era’s greats (think Elvis, Chuck Berry and Jerry Lee Lewis), and this rock n roll theme extends to the slot’s design too, that is made up of retro illustrated graphics set in a classic American diner. Overall it’s not bad at all- looks like the same kind of era as the Gift Rap slot– that’s the design era we mean.

Game Play

Vinyl Countdown slot has 5 reels, 3 rows and 9 pay-lines, less than say the Piggy Fortunes slot. We’s put this game down as a medium variance slot. Your retro-styled symbols on the reels are made up of variety of tasty-looking desserts; a knickerbocker glory, a banana split and some weird looking thing covered in chocloate.

Then there’s the Vinyl Countdown logo, a couple dancing, a pair of winklepicker shoes, a Danny Zuko look-a-like complete with coiffured quiff and a Sandra D symbol sporting a ponytail, ribbon and baby blue cardigan.

The biggest payout comes from landing 5x of the Vinyl Countdown logos anywhere on the reels for which you’ll receive 1000x your bet. Awesome!

The Jukebox symbol is your Wild symbol in this slot and it will do the usual job of substituting for other symbols (except for the Scatter Glitter Ball) on the reels to complete winning combinations. The Wild Jukebox symbol will only appears on the second, third and fourth reels.

Bonus Scatter Symbol

The Scatter symbol in Vinyl Countdown slot is the sparkling glitter ball. Sadly for us, it won’t set off any extra bonuses, as there’s no Free Spins round in this game. But it will pay you out a chunky cash prize even if the the symbols land but not on an active payline.

If you manage to hit more than 3x anywhere on the reels will win you a prize of x10 your bet, if you land 4x you’ll scoop a generous x50 your bet and if you really get lucky Wombat Fans and land 5x of the shiny shiny Scatters on the reels then it’s a whopping 100x your bet that will be added to your bank balance.

Cheers Microgaming!

Conclusion

Let’s face it, just like rock ‘n’ roll music, Vinyl Countdown slot is a bit outdated and without a bonus round the game lacks any real meaty payouts. BUT, the theme is a cracker so if you’re a fan of the era you really should check it out!

Wombat score: 3/5

The theme is nicely done but the slot really needs a bonus

Nothing beats the sound of music on a vinyl record. Similarly, it’s hard to top an online slot from a leading developer with a lot of rewarding features. Vinyl Countdown is an online slot that comes from top developer Microgaming, but does it have enough special features? The game features five reels that support nine paylines. It includes both standard and expert options, and it can be played for real money or as a free play demo.

Vinyl Countdown Appearance and Basic Gameplay

Vinyl Countdown is one of the older slots from the Microgaming collection. The game’s age is apparent through the classic graphics. Each symbol displayed on the reels has a detailed design and bright colors that pop off of the screen. You might find the game to feel a little bit dated, but its simple design reduces the risk of technical errors that can void your payouts. Each paylines is labeled clearly on the sides of the online slot. There are also unique sound effects that accompany the game, but you can turn them off if you prefer playing quietly.

In a similar fashion, the standard gameplay options of Vinyl Countdown are kept simple. You have the ability to adjust the nine paylines to make any number of them active. The value of each coin can also be changed, but the number of coins to be bet is fixed. To instantly wager the most money possible before spinning, you simply need to click the “bet max” button on the control panel. Expert options for the Vinyl Countdown slot include an “autoplay” feature that allows the reels to spin automatically.

The Special Features

The normal gameplay featured in Vinyl Countdown is complemented by a couple of extra features. However, this game has its limitations by not including additional rewarding bonuses. Regardless, each special feature gives you more opportunities to earn large payouts and have a more enjoyable experience.

Wild Symbol

You’ll notice that the wild symbol in this online slot is hard to miss. It comes in the form of a jukebox with the word “WILD” displayed in front. The wild symbol can replace any normal icon from the game to finish a winning combination. However, Vinyl Countdown does not offer a multiplier related to its wild symbol.

Scatter Symbol

The icon of a disco ball containing the word “SCATTER” is the game’s designated scatter symbol. Instead of paying left to right, this symbol creates a payout as long as it appears on the reels three times. The scatter can land up to five times simultaneously and offers an excellent straight win that replaces your original bet amount.

Average Payouts

The Vinyl Countdown Game

Vinyl Countdown falls a bit short with its special features, and the same can be said about the payout average. You’ll get a typical payout percentage of 95.5% when you play the slot. The percentage is lower than average and doesn’t help with this game’s appeal. Unfortunately, a low variance means you won’t be seeing much change from this average.

You will have a chance to win a top payout of 1,000 coins playing Vinyl Countdown.

Summary

The Vinyl Countdown Card Game Rules

This online slot does little to stand out among the rest. Though it has decent graphics and convenient game controls, it lacks enough bonus features to make it a rewarding option. You’ll appreciate the classic design of the slot, but you’re probably going to look elsewhere when the disappointing RTP starts to trend. While Microgaming has a lot of exciting online slots, this is not one of them.
