Classic Slot Machine
About as regular and straight down the middle as they can ever come, ‘Classic’ is a slot that will likely speak to those video slots players among us who really cherish the most stripped back, though not necessarily un-sophisticated, ideas associated with the competitive slots gaming industry.
Released very recently by the inimitable Simbat Entertainment Systems, a group in turn becoming increasingly well known for their abilities in really communicating those old school vibes to a younger audience more used to the over the top dramatics of modern video slots gaming, you’d probably be forgiven for thinking the Classic was a game decades old – were it for the fact that you were playing it on the internet, that is.
Though played through a website (Classic, along with the vast majority of the Simbat Entertainment Systems catalogue is available across a wide roster of leading international online casinos and games hosting sites), Classic does all that it can to immerse players into a time when slots were reserved for bars and public houses. Not only that, but it does it well – very well!
Ye Olde Style
There’s no question that this is classically themed slot game, the title alone acts to give that away! Housed in a wider theme that looks just like a traditional slot in the corner of a function room, this is a game for those who really like to get gritty and original with their slots gaming – spinning those reels pint in hand and music crackling through dusty speakers in the background.
It’s a 3-reeled game featuring a double tiered structure. Each of the 3 reels are employed at all points in both of the games, with combinations forged across all of them acting to payout and advance players appropriately. The max bet in the basic or lower game is just 1 credit per spin, though as many as 100 accumulated credits may be put on the line with the integrated, and exceedingly traditional ‘Heads of Tails’ bonus game.
Both levels of the game offer a host of mysterious payout opportunities of up to 200 credits per winning combo, including an instant award if 2 credits that leads to a neat little ‘lose or double’ game. This bonus feature works much in the same 50/50 way as the heads or tails bonus but provides a different spin on it.
Any number of credits bellow the 200 lower game limit can be transferred to the integrated Club-meter when the player is ready to commence play in the top tier. Alternatively, winnings to date can be collected and you can move onto the next adventure! This game really does provide a great level of range making it suitable for players of all maturity, experience and confidence levels.
Classic Symbolism
As you would most certainly expect from a game with a name like ‘Classic’, the symbols which act to populate the reels on this game are evocative of the old school fruit and vegetable favourites. Alongside the stars and bells, stand of course 7’s and blanks. This really is old style slots gaming at its very best.
Everything from the way that this game is played to the way that it looks has been arranged to carry an air of classic credibility – and it must be said that the developers have been very effective in their mission to provide players with a dated feel. That being said however, the graphics are high spec, further adding to the allure of the game and most certainly adding to a players desire to keep on pumping in those credits and spinning those reels with hope in their heart and stars in their eyes.
A Trip to the Past
Simbat Entertainment Systems may well be the undisputed champions of creating an aged environment in which the modern player can enjoy all of the gems of the past that made slots gaming the leader in gambling it is today, and with no game are the reasons for that more accurately reflected than with Classic.
This game truly is Classic by name, classic by nature. Many developers have tried in the past to accurately depict the little victories of public house pokies, though few came as close to managing to effectively portray said victories in such a vivid manner as is on display here. Simbat have a long list of games already under their belts which speak to the masses as a result of their old school leanings, and Classic is not just one more – but perhaps the new pack leader.
