There are several interesting features available on Retro Tapes, making the gaming experience more exciting.

Wild Tape Symbols

These symbols substitute for all other symbols except the Magnet and Wild Multiplier symbols. They land with a 1x multiplier, which increases by +1 with each cluster win they are involved in. When no more cluster wins occur, the Wild Tape symbol spins off. Additionally, landing three or more Wild Tape symbols anywhere on the reels triggers the Free Game Feature.

Wild Multiplier Symbol

Available during both the base game and the Top Charts Feature, this symbol distributes its multiplier value to every present Wild Tape symbol upon landing. Afterwards, it transforms into an Instant Prize symbol of random value.

Magnet Feature

The Magnet symbol randomly selects one type of paying symbol and attracts all present instances of the reels into a cluster. If it selects an Instant Prize symbol with four or more present, it forms a cluster. The Magnet then transforms into the chosen paying symbol or an Instant Prize symbol or random value. During the Top Charts Feature, the Magnet gains additional capabilities, such as attracting all Instant Prize symbols that aren't locked withing a random range.

Top Charts Feature

Triggered by landing three or more Wild Tape symbols, this feature locks all Wild Tape and Instant Prize symbols in place. Each free spin can land one of the following symbols: Blank Space, Wild Tape, Wild Multiplier, Instant Prize, Magnet or Extra Spin. Instant Prize symbols that land remain on the reels until the feature ends, at which point they are evaluated.

Cluster Links Feature

This mechanic allows players to land five or more tapes in a cluster for instant wins. Wild Tape symbols multiply and cluster wins they're part of, and chaining cluster wins with a Wild Tape symbol continues to increase the multiplier. This feature becomes particularly exciting during the Top Charts Bonus Game, where larger clusters can be built by linking Wild Tapes with Wild Multipliers and Magnets to create substantial value cluster wins.

Retro Tapes offers a Bonus Buy option, allowing players to purchase direct entry into the Top Charts Feature. The cost for this feature is typically 100 times the base bet, providing immediate access to the bonus round without waiting for it to trigger organically.

Players can place bets ranging from a minimum of $0.10 to a maximum of $100 per spin, accommodating both casual players and high rollers.

The game features various cassette symbols with the following payouts for clusters of 20 or more:

• Red Cassette - 1000x the bet.
• Orange Cassette - 500x the bet.
• Green and Purple Cassette - 25x the bet.
• Blue and Grey Cassette - 5x the bet.

The Cluster Pays mechanic requires forming clusters of five or more matching symbols, either horizontally or vertically, to achieve a win. Winning clusters are removed, allowing new symbols to cascade into place, potentially creating additional wins.
