So 80's Slots

So 80's Slots

The 1980's was one of the most-iconic decades in modern history. This era featured classic video games, break dancing, and hideous fashion styles. Rival Gaming's So 80's slots has brought all of this - including the good and bad - to the reels in the form of a 5-reel, 15-line slot.

So 80's starts off with a vibrant introduction, where you'll see dancers, workout girls, and others jamming to a beat. This fun intro sets you up for an entertaining experience. But does the rest of So 80's deliver? Find out as we cover what this game offers in terms of graphics, symbols, bonuses, and return to player (RTP).

Break Dance Your Way Towards Big Wins

So 80's leans on its symbols to really bring back the eighties. These icons include an Atari joystick (wild), break dancer (free spins), smiley face (jackpot), rocker dude, big-haired woman, boom box, leg warmers, A, K, Q, J, and 10.

The joystick is a very crucial symbol because it substitutes for everything except the break dancer to form wins. It also multipliers wins by 3x whenever helping form them.

The joystick pays the most of any symbol, offering 5,000 coins for five icons. The jackpot smiley face pays the second most, delivering 800 coins for five symbols.

One downside to this game is the below-average graphics. We realize that Rival is probably going for a dated look here. But the graphics still aren't great even if this is their angle.

So 80's Special Features - Break Dancing Free Spins

The break dancer triggers 10 free spins whenever he lands three or more times anywhere on the reels. All wins during the free spins round offer a 3x multiplier.

This dancer also delivers scatter payouts when appearing on the reels at least twice. He offers 2x your total bet for two symbols, 3x for three, 15x for four, and 75x for five.

Betting & Gameplay Options

So 80s allows you to change your coin size from $0.01 to $1, paylines from 1-15, and coins per line from 1-5. This lets you bet anywhere from one cent to $75 per spin.

You can use autoplay to keep the reels spinning automatically with your selected betting preferences. Just keep in mind that you can only use autoplay in real money mode.

So 80's Slots RTP & Volatility

The RTP for So 80's is 95.45%, which is average for an online slot. We found the volatility to be average since we won a decent number of payouts. Most of your wins will involve the joystick wild substituting for another symbol.

So 80's Slots Is Worth Visiting the Past

The main two drawbacks to this game include the graphics and lack of a second-screen bonus round. The graphics aren't awful, but they're not exactly Rival's best effort either. We'd also like to see a second-screen bonus involved since Rival puts these in many of their other games.

If you can get past these downsides, then So 80's is worth a try. This is especially the case if you have a sense of nostalgia and/or just want to experience this decade through slots form. You should appreciate the interesting symbols, especially the Atari joystick, break dancer, big-haired woman, and rocker.
