With so many online slot game themes to choose from, there's one that you can always count on – the classic fruit machine! Neon Links combines the best of traditional slot machines with modern graphics and features.

Brought to you by Red Tiger Gaming, this retro online slot is worth a spin for any casino games fan in the mood for a little nostalgia, Vegas-style. We’ll be taking a look at what's on offer in this exciting game, as well as how to get started spinning the reels in our online slot review.

Theme and design

Set in the cartoon-style Las Vegas city streets, the 5x3 reels are framed with retro bright flashing lights and filled with old-school slots symbols, including the low-paying card suits, higher-paying cherries and grapes, a gold bell, a horseshoe, and of course, 7s. As the name suggests, symbols light up in neon colours when a winning combination occurs, resembling the vibrant, colourful lights of a Vegas casino.

The design in Neon Links is simple, the visuals are crisp, and the Vegas atmosphere is in full swing.

Gameplay

Neon Links has an RTP (return to player) of 95.71% and medium volatility, meaning that there are small but fairly frequent wins to keep things enticing. The game doesn't have a wild symbol, but there are a few fun bonus rounds which we’ll take a look at in the section below.

This casino online game offers players a wide betting range, making it suitable for players of all budgets, though casual players with smaller budgets are more likely to be drawn to the game. The maximum win potential is 1,050x your stake – that's 105,000 coins when playing the maximum bet of 100 coins!

To play:

Set your bet amount using the “stake” button to the bottom left of the screen – choose anywhere between 0.10 to 100 coins per spin.

There is also a turbo option next to the spin button, for players who enjoy speedy gameplay.

Once you’ve adjusted your controls, spin the reels by clicking the yellow spin button on the bottom right corner of the screen.

Land 3 to 5 matching symbols, from left to right, on any of the 10 paylines to win.

Each symbol comes with its own set of multipliers, depending on how many you land. Find symbol values on the paytable, which you can open by selecting the menu button in the top right corner of the screen.

You can see the live progressive jackpot amounts featured to the left of the reels.

Fun features

Neon Links keeps to the original charm of traditional fruit machines by providing simple gameplay, with a few fun extras.

Neon Symbols

You’ll find two pages of symbols on the paytable – the first page features the regular symbols as mentioned. The second page features the exact same symbols, except in a neon style. When two neon symbols appear on the same row in non-adjacent positions, all the symbols between them will be transformed into neon symbols, creating a greater opportunity for a potential win.

Vegas Spins

Land two Vegas Spin symbols on the same row to activate the free spins feature, where you’ll be awarded 10 free spins.

During this bonus round, one neon symbol will be chosen and will appear as stacked 1x3 symbols when playing, creating a better chance of forming winning links, and the possibility of landing a full-screen win.

The verdict’s out

The visuals and graphics in Neon Links make for simple, straightforward gameplay, with just enough action to keep things interesting. The bonus features are a welcome addition to the game, and Red Tiger did an excellent job capturing the retro vibe.
