Arcade Slot by Wazdan Review

Symbols and Prizes

Arcade classic slot features 13 types of symbols typical to three-reel fruit slots. However, unlike most of classical slots Arcade counts combinations made up of as few as two symbols. Most importantly, they have to be from left to right on the payline.  You can view the payouts for combinations in the paytable. All the prizes are expressed in credits. Let us use the minimum bet of 0.1 credit for convenience:

• Cherries and raspberries - 0.2 and 0.4 for two or three symbols, respectively
• A lemon and a plum - 0.4 and 0.8
• A pineapple and an orange - 0.8 and 6
• A bell, an apple, a watermelon and grapes - 0.8 and 12
• A pear - 2 and 20
• The symbol that says Vegas - 2 and 30
• A bag of coins - 2 and 40

Combinations come up comparatively rarely, but the rewards even for the simplest combination are at least twice the cost of one spin. The combinations of as few as two symbols increase your chances of winning.

Features of the Arcade Game

Two features which further increase your chances of getting a payout are active in the main game. They include:

• Being able to hold the reels
• The cumulative Mini Bonus

Use Stop buttons found under each reel after the spin to hold the reels. These buttons become active only when a winning combo comes up. If a combination of two symbols lands you cannot hold the reels in order to extend it. Sometimes the reel is held automatically when one of the high-paying symbols (one that pays more than 20 times your bet) comes up on the payline. The reel is also held when two identical symbols appear on the second and third reels.

The cumulative Mini Bonus is another advantage of the main game. Symbols marked with a star come up on the game screen from time to time. These stars are accumulated. Each of them is worth your total bet.

You will see a 3x3 table with stars above the game screen. So, if the symbol with the star lands in the bottom field of the first reel your total bet will be credited to your Mini Bonus account and a tick lights up in the bottom left corner of the additional window. You get a reward after all nine fields with stars are lit up.

Gambling Round

If a winning combination appears on the central payline the additional Gamble button pops up on the control panel. Click it and you will see a new game screen with the gambling round. You need to guess the colour of a face-down card during this double-up game.

The gambling round of Arcade is special in that it allows you to place a half of your win during one round instead of the entire prize. Therefore, if you give a wrong answer you can transfer one half of your reward to your account. To do this, click on the ½ Take button. The payout for the gambling round is credited to your account by using the Take button.

How to Play the Arcade Slot for Free

The demo version of Arcade free slot by Wazdan lets you play for free with virtual credits. Initially, you get 100 game units the moment the application starts. Your main goal is to collect winning combinations (two or three identical symbols in a row on the central payline) and increase your balance with payouts for combos. Use the following to control the slot:

• The Bet section shows the bet in credits. The + and - buttons adjust your stake in the range of 0.1 to 100

You can see the funds in your account in the Credit section. Initially you get an account of 100 game units. The total bet (Bet) is deducted from your account and winnings (Win) are credited to it during the gameplay. The spin is considered to be successful when the reward exceeds the cost of one reelspin.

Arcade by Wazdan is an unusual online fruit machine. Additional features (the hold feature and cumulative bonuses) let you get as much as possible during the gameplay. Combinations of as few as two symbols increase your likelihood of getting prizes more frequently. Handy and simple controls make this slot easy to understand, even for a beginner.
