With the release of the new Top Gun: Maverick trailer, we’ve been getting all nostalgic over at BitStarz, so we thought we’d revisit Flying Ace, a fun, retro slot from Microgaming that takes us back to an era of waxed mustaches, leather flying jackets, and soot-laden goggles. Plus there’s the chance to leave the cockpit with 30,000 coins should you make it back to base with your plane intact, which is quite the reward for your endeavors. So fasten your seatbelts and check your parachute – it’s time to take her up!

Preparation is Key

Before we get airborne we need to get things ready on the ground. Flying Ace lets you wager up to 25 credits per spin, with the overall stake being made up from a line bet value of five credits across all five active paylines, although these values are adjustable for those who like to throw a little more caution to the wind. Playing with all five paylines might well be worth the risk however, seeing as this affords you the largest potential jackpot, with a line bet multiplier of 6,000x awarded whenever three matching pilot symbols align. Lesser payouts are awarded for combinations of other symbols, such as the pinup girl, the BARs, and the ‘A’ badge.

A Little Something Extra in the Tank

Microgaming gives pilots of all ranks a helping hand to complete those all-important win sequences with its ‘wild’ symbol, represented by the main character – our flying ace himself. He will substitute for all other symbols to pay the highest possible win on triggered paylines. An autopilot feature also takes the strain for any weary fliers out there, clocking up the wins while you take a snooze in the back.

Have You Got the Need for Speed?

Flying Ace won’t blow you away with its graphics or its gameplay, but that’s not the point – the appeal lies in the simplicity and the charm of this old-school slot, and the fact that there’s a 6,000x multiplier to be shot down. Now if that’s not enough to take your breath away, we don’t know what is. Play Flying Ace for free today at BitStarz, and channel your inner Maverick.
