Neon Lights

Neon Lights is a fifty payline slot played on a 5x4 reel setup. It comes from Green Jade Games and is their take on...well, neon lights and perhaps retro gaming. This is a theme that is actually becoming more and more popular, even though it’s mainly a set of bright colours.

Could that be because the games using this sort of theme have been exceptionally good? How does this slot fit into that mould? The classic playstyle means that you’re probably familiar with the way things work, making it easy to get into the spins.

Theme and Symbols

It’s quite a classic setup, not just when it comes to the reels and symbols positions. Green Jade Games uses plenty of familiar symbols and mixes them with a few more than you can easily recognise. 

Sevens, cherries, grapes, bells, diamonds and other symbols come in all the neon colours you’d ever need. The style is perfect and some thought and effort has clearly gone into the finishing touch. If you’d open up a random 80s music video, you’d probably run into similar tunes as play in the background here.

Betting Options and Functions

Twenty symbols position in all, evenly distributed through the five reels. The fifty paylines leave little room for any three, four or five symbol combo to escape your grab.

The return to player is a bit above 95%, and the variance seems to be low. This comes with the downside of most wins being way above your total bet for the spin. It also means that the game doesn’t offer that much in the way of big wins, the diamond being the top symbol and paying 400 times the line bet...or 8 times your total bet.

You’re free to set your bet as you wish, with possibilities from 0.01 to 0.50 coins per line. Options include turbo spins, autospins and the usual settings to tweak.

Features

Apart from the wild the game doesn’t seem to offer anything extra. And the wild is actually a bit limited rather than a special feature, showing up only on reels two, three and four instead of the usual five reels. No bonus spins, no scatters nor anything else is offered beyond this.

Our Take

Neon Lights suffers from malaise, and that is lack of features and wins. It’s not a big chance that you’ll grab the biggest win, be that lotto, progressive jackpots, or normal slots. But the wins are there...except in this Green Jade Games it isn’t. Even if you score the main win through all 50 paylines you’re looking at just 400 times your total bet win. There’s no feature to hike it higher or deliver it via bonus spins. This is a shame, as the theme is pretty good and the slot is great overall...well, for now, we suggest going with some other neon slots!
