A lot of strange stuff happened in the 80s, some of it good, some of it bad. We like to remember the great and crazy aspects of the 80s which is why we were so excited when Microgaming announced their latest slot. Crazy 80’s is a five reel slot which focuses on the perms, Day-Glo club wear and paraphernalia which was so popular. The prizes aren’t retro though because the maximum jackpot is $25,000!
Crazy 80’s Slot Theme
Wavy lines, spirals, checkered patterns, and most notably jazzy colors, form the basis for the Crazy 80’s slot case. These vibrant tones are balanced out with a black background and pastel colored icons mixed in with items from the 80s.
Mini skirts, boob tubes, leg warmers, charm bracelets, mix tapes and rubix cubes where all the rage in the 80’s and we are happy to report that all of these and more are included as part of the slots reel icons. There’s even a 80’s Girlz fictional magazine which includes reference to Back to Tomorrow, a topical reference to Back to the Future which was a massive hit in that decade.
An upbeat power ballad plays continuously in the background. This adds to the overall theme and it’s great that the designers have made the extra effort to make all aspects of the slot bespoke.
Betting Options and More Functions
There are nine paylines which can be changed to suit your requirements. You can also choose between 0.25, 0.50, 1, 2 or 5 coin values which creates a betting range of 0.25 to £/$/€45 (although this will be represented as coins on the slot).
Crazy 80s Slot Features
The boom box icon wild symbol can substitute for all symbols apart from the scatters. This is less of a problem though because scatters pay in any position anyway.
Scatters award 2x, 10x or 50x your stake when 3, 4 or 5 appeal simultaneously on the reels. This also produces an animated sequence where the dancer performs a pirouette.
Our Take on Crazy 80’s
Slots like these allow players to take a nostalgic look at their past whilst educating the younger generation about all that was great in the 80s. The wilds and scatter features are good but the lack of free spins or a bonus game is noticeable. Besides from that Crazy 80’s is an entertaining slot with potentially huge prizes.
