Retro Tapes is a high-volatility slot from Push Gaming with 9 reels and a cluster-based format. In the demo version, players can play for free and practice before playing for real money while observing how tape clusters form and clear from the grid. The return-to-player range is listed at 88.40% to 96.47%, with bet sizes from 0.10 to 100.00.
The main mechanics centre on Cluster Links, where five or more matching tapes create an instant win and can trigger new falls into the empty spaces. Wild Tape symbols substitute for most symbols, build multipliers as they remain in winning clusters, and can also act as scatters. Instant Prize symbols add fixed multiplier values, while the Magnet feature draws matching symbols into a cluster and can convert into a paying symbol or an Instant Prize.
Three or more Wild Tape scatters trigger the Free Games feature, known here as Top Charts. During this bonus, Wild Tape and Instant Prize symbols stay in place while new spins add Blank Space, Wild Tape, Wild Multiplier, Instant Prize, Magnet, or Extra Spin symbols. Clusters are collected at the end of the feature, with Wild Multipliers and Magnets able to increase the value of bonus round wins.
