Classic Slots

Classics never go out of style. I mean, there are people still playing gameboy and 8-bit nintendo these days. Not because the graphics are awesome, but for two other reasons; nostalgia and mechanics. Btw, the same obviously goes for toasters, cars, and slot games.

WHAT IS A CLASSIC SLOT?

Before there were bonus rounds, free spins features, and themes such as Family Guy, you had the basic mechanics and simplistic themes. I think there are some symbols that we also associate with the classics that are still used today, such as cherries, lemons, BAR, Diamonds, etc.

One thing that also comes to mind when you think of a classic slot is three reels and nine paylines. Things were in other words pretty simple back in the day, but there’s a lot of beauty in simplicity.

To put things simply, there’s no need to keep track of 29,317 paylines, jackpots, features, stacked wilds, walking wilds, expanding wilds, exploding wilds, all over the place wilds. Yeah, you get the point. Sometimes life is complicated as it is, and a throwback to more simple times is needed.

BACK TO THE FUTURE

If you do think that the really old dusty classic slots are too simple, you’re in luck. Because many Game Studios these days have revamped classic slots with better graphics. Basically a refurbished version.

Some have polished the symbols, included more reels, added some jackpot or free spins feature, yeah, everyone has their own unique twist. There’s also Game Providers that have truly pimped out these machines to the max with all kinds of stuff. Kind of takes away from the whole idea of Classics but who are we to judge?

As we always say at BitStarz, we believe in having a good mix of every game category. Just because we’re puritans who like the old dusty classics which were probably left at the old Las Vegas Stardust Casino when it was demolished, it doesn't mean that’s what everyone likes.

EVERYONE LOVES THE JOKER

Simply because they’re old, it doesn’t mean they lack the payouts that you’re able to land in the new ones. Take the game Fire Joker from Play’n GO as an example, where one of our players landed an awesome $227,755 on a single spin.

Shameless as we occasionally are, we’d also like to plug our very own Classic Slots, BitStarz Billion and 20 BitStarz. If you like them, let us know so we can produce more, if you hate them, we’ll abandon them just like the Stardust Casino in Vegas did theirs.

THE CLASSICS ARE FOREVER COOL!

Once again, people still like retro stuff till this day. Graphics will always improve, but a great idea and mechanics are timeless. You can never compensate for terrible game play with cutting-edge graphics, but the opposite will always be true and stand the test of time.
