Vegas Night Life Slot Review
Get ready for a night out on the town in the entertainment capital of the world, and prepare to take Las Vegas by storm in NetEnt’s new game, Vegas Night Life Slot.
Embrace and embody everything Nevada in this glamorous looking game and enjoy the sights and sounds of the Las Vegas Strip.
You may recognise NetEnt from their extensive catalogue of game which has provided good times and memorable experiences for many.
From exploring Ancient ruins in Gonzo’s Quest Megaways to a life of solving crime in a harsh and unruly city in Cash Noire, or the opposite, living as an outlaw in Dead or Alive 2, NetEnt really does have something to offer players everywhere.
You couldn’t get more classic than a Vegas themed game, and it’s something that’s sure to resonate well with people who like an old school theme, or people that love a theme true to the nature of the experience of gambling.
Viva Las Vegas
Vegas Night Life is as colourful and alive as the real Vegas is. In the background you’ll see the famous Las Vegas Strip, complete with the faux Statue of Liberty and Eiffel Tower.
The night is upon you in Vegas and the lights and charm of the city has been translated into a neon lit experience so that you may enjoy the city at home. The sound is a funky upbeat tune, with the occasional sound of the night life shining through.
Overall, it’s quite a prominent and nice theme, it definitely makes you want to hop on a plane and head to Vegas yourself.
Betting and Symbols
Whether playing it safe is your thing, or you’re more of a high roller, Vegas Night Life caters to all. Bets start as low as £0.20 per spin, and can go as high as £100 with plenty in between for players to choose from.
As for symbols, the highest paying ones are the Wild and the Sports Car. The fancy looking Watch, the Ring, and the bottle of Champagne are the rest of the high paying symbols. Low paying symbols are your more classic, Heart, Diamond, Club and Spade.
The Base Game
Vegas Night Life Slot is a 5-reel slot that uses traditional pay lines as a mechanic, of which there are 20. Wins pay consecutively from left to right, and 3 or more matching symbols will form a win.
Wilds may appear as stacks during the Base game, which will help rack up those wings while you’re awaiting the much-wanted Bonus Features.
There isn’t much to be said about the base game, there aren’t any non-bonus features that will pop up from time to time to add that extra excitement to the game unfortunately. However, there is more than one Bonus which spices things up a little bit.
Bonus Features
3 Scatter symbols appearing anywhere on the reels during the base game will trigger the Bonus Features. All of the scatter symbols will turn into ‘Pick Me’ symbols and activate one of three bonus features.
Extra Scatter symbols will increase the rewards given in these features.
Free Spins
Free Spins may be uncovered by one of the aforementioned ‘Pick Me’ symbols. The number of Free Spins will be determined by how many Scatter Symbols you landed earlier.
- 3 Scatters – 5 Spins
- 4 Scatters – 10 Spins
- 5 Scatters – 20 Spins
Free Spins is simply this, all wins are multiplied by a 3x multiplier. This is of course welcome, as is any multiplier, but it lacks substance and you’ll be heavily reliant on those stacked Wild symbols to be your saving grace.
Instant Win Feature
In this feature, you’ll be awarded an instant random win of 7.5x to 250x. The win can be multiplied by 2 once or twice if the Instant Win Feature was activated by 4 or 5 Scatter Symbols.
This could certainly be nice, especially if you’re lucky and land more scatters, then 250x, then it gets doubled! Possibly even twice.
Cash Stacker Feature
The Cash Stacker Feature will transform the Reels into a 5-6-7-6-5 formation, and in this mode only Cash Stacker Symbols can land.
Each Cash Stacker Symbol on the reel is given a random value between 0.25x to 15x the current bet. These will land before going on to fill the lowest unoccupied position on the reel until the feature ends.
The Cash Stacker Feature starts with 3 spins, and will reset back to 3 if another Cash Stacker symbol lands on the reels.
Rows 2-5 will have multipliers between 2x – 5x respectively, and these will activate once their respective row is filled with symbols.
Progressive Jackpot
Vegas Night Life Slot also features a progressive jackpot slot. The prizes available are Mega, Midi, and Mini.
Obtaining this is actually part of the Cash Stacker Feature. Filling Reels 2 or 4 with Cash Stacker symbols awards a Mini or Midi Jackpot. To acquire the Mega Jackpot, you’ll need to fill the entirety of Reel 3 with Cash Stacker Symbols.
Our Verdict
Visually and design wise, Vegas Night Life Slot is great, it really captures the essence of Vegas. Gameplay wise, opinions will definitely differ on the playability of the game.
The base game is rather intensely boring, with only the possible Wild stack to give you the kicks and thrills that you’re looking for, and for some, this might be a deal breaker.
You’ll be hoping to land one of the Bonus Features soon, and if you don’t you may be of the opinion that the game has little excitement, before leaving in search of something a little more exhilarating.
Instant Win can definitely up the excitement a little more, with the prospect of wins up to 250x, and the chance to double it, possibly twice, if you land 3 or 4 Scatter symbols.
The Cash Stacker Feature is where the game really shows some proper potential, with expanded reels allowing for more space to land Cash Stacker Symbols, as well as the prospect of multipliers up to 5x and the chance at one of the progressive Jackpot Features.
