Game Features and Dynamics
Attack on Retro consists of a 5 reel, 3 row, and 10 payline slot. The player has the option of betting from $0.10 to $20.00 per spin of the reels, which is not a very high betting range and can win up to 5,000x their total bet during the free spins bonus.
Attack on Retro has 11 lower value symbols: eight are standard symbols, two wild symbols represented by Billie and Jesse, and a scatter symbol. These symbols offer 0.6 - 3x the players bet. The four higher value symbols are glove, ghettoblaster, musical instrument, and something similar to a Marty McFly’s hoverboard that offers 1 - 20x the players bet.
The Hyperspin feature available at all times in the base game lets the player choose to spin one reel while holding the other four, for a fee which amount depends on the value of the potential win.
The RTP rates of Attack on Retro vary from 95.58% — 96.08% with the 0.5% difference between when the player uses the hyper spin as opposed to not using it. The Random Wilds feature can be activated on any random spin. Upon activation, the reels are filled with 15 robot symbols that Billy and Jesse fire upon with lasers.
If they are hit, they turn into Wild symbols that can be used with other symbols to create winning combos.
The Free Spins feature gets activated by landing three scatter symbols or a max of 9 wilds on the middle three reels.
The Free Spins feature is of three types of options:
- 10 Free spins with a multiplier of 1x — Low Volatility
- 5 Free spins with a multiplier of 2x — Medium Volatility
- 2 Free spins with a multiplier of 5x — High Volatility.
