NetEnt is well versed in the art of retro, having previously created a series of slots that explored the best of the 60s, 70s, and the 80s, like the Funky ’70s. These titles were relegated to obscurity by the big HTML5 update in which the developer discarded a large number of old video slots.
NetEnt has steadily been filling the void that these titles have left with new retro-themed fare. The Disco Danny Slot Game is the latest throwback effort from the developer which was released on September 1st, 2020.
Disco Danny in the spotlight
Danny has a critical case of Saturday night reel fever which makes him throw his favourite groovy track on and dance the night away. The game’s titular character resembles an Elvis Presley / John Travolta hybrid and is one of a variety of symbols featured in this title.
The slot’s classic 3 reels, 3 rows, format further solidifies the retro feel and it features multi-level Free Spins, and a Golden Multiplier feature.
Get funky and break out your bellbottoms and platforms as you get swept up in the disco inferno thanks to the game’s infectious funky soundtrack that will have you swinging your hips as you spin.
Gameplay at a glance
The slot doesn’t deviate too far from the classic 3-reel genre, with simplicity being its core appeal. Disco Danny himself slides in as the highest value pay-symbol, joined by a glittering disco ball in gold and silver variants. Roller skates, a lucky 7, and a BAR symbol are also featured.
Betting amounts range from $0.10 to $250 and the Return to Player weighs in at a healthy 96.04% – 96.93%.
The slot’s high volatility should make it a hit with more experienced players, but the low minimum bet makes this challenging title accessible to anyone wanting to take their shot at a big win.
Funky Features
The game’s simplistic format belies its complex mechanics and amazing winning potential, boasting a richness of features one might not expect from a 3-reel title.
The Silver Scatter symbol appears anywhere on the reels during the base game. If three Silver Disco Balls appear, a 5-level Free Spins bonus game with an increasing Level Multiplier will be triggered.
The Golden Scatter symbol can also appear anywhere on the reels in both the main game and Free Spins. If a Golden Scatter symbol lands in the main game, it will award a random prize of 10 or 20 times your bet.
The Free Spins feature has you collecting Golden Disco Balls. Each Golden Disco Ball on the reels adds to the total win and resets the number of Free Spins to 3. If you fill your screen with nine Golden Balls, you will move up to the next level, of which there are 5, with ascending multiplier values of x1, x2, x3, x5, and x10.
The best-case scenario would see you spinning with an x10 Level Multiplier Free Spins exposes you to the game’s highest potential, so point your dancing shoes in that direction.
