Synthway

Synthway not synthwave, but almost the same thing from graphics to sound effects. This sort of retrogaming with neon colours and that beautiful 90s look has become popular as of late, and is certain to stay so...and not only for nostalgic reasons as this slot proves.

The game offers wins from both ways, wilds and bonus spins. But we’re getting ahead of ourselves here. Let’s take a look at the theme before we venture into features and specifics. Or you can just fire up the demo version and have a go!

Theme and Symbols

What’s the synthwave we mentioned? It’s a style remake, mainly musical but also graphical, of the 80s and 90s, especially of movies and videogames. And that’s the sort of thing that brings this sort of slots to your screen. Electronic music that amazes, graphics that are simple with simple lines, yet impressive and colourful. Neonlights all around. We won’t spoil the surprises, but you’ll probably find some familiar things should you have lived through the era.

Betting Options and Functions

With the exception of scatter, which pays from any position, all ten paylines connect wins starting from the leftmost and the rightmost reel. The norm is broken also by the fact that there are only four reels, which means that you need either three or four symbols to score wins.

The wins are not oppressively large, topping at 400 times your line bet. Quite sufficient, considering the volatility which has combinations form relatively often.

The game is playable on all devices and offers a wealth of options and settings. You can also follow your playing history with several statistics available for those who are into that sort of thing.

Features

It’s pretty straightforward gaming with this Spinmatic slot. When it comes to specials you’ve got the bonus spins, which require either three or four scatters which will result in either ten or fifteen bonus spins.

The wild does what the wild always does, substituting for other symbols. However, during the bonus spins it takes another function, doubling all wins it’s part of. This gives the player a nice chance to score even bigger wins.

Our Take

Synthway isn’t ruined with features, as it keeps things pretty straightforward, limiting the action and the wins to the reels and the symbols. This is balanced well with the paytable and variance, and even though there are no massive megawins, you can still bank some coin when you set the right bet and infuse your coins with just the right amount of luck. Other retro slots offer other options, but what this slot does it does right. We heartily recommend you give it a go.
