The thing about retro slots is…well…they’re retro. Which means they bring back nostalgic memories of when slots first came on to the scene. And it makes us think about all the epic features, themes and characters that can still be enjoyed any time of the day. So we take a look back at our top five retro slots.

From Sea To Sky To Rainbows

Remember Microgaming’s original Thunderstruck slot? Of course you do. It gave us Thor, the halls of Valhalla and free spins worthy of the gods. It served as an introduction of what to expect from Microgaming so this slot always has a special place in our heart. So too does Microgaming’s Mermaids Millions, a simple underwater themed slot. We dive deep to fish for slots wins via Free Spins, a Treasure Bonus and mermaids galore. It doesn’t have to be jam packed full of features to be a great slot, and Mermaids Millions is proof of this.

One slot that we slots fans will always go back to is Rainbow Riches, the ultimate Irish-based slot. Despite all the newbies on the scene, this slot is always the one to revisit when we want our fix of Leprechauns and Wishing Wells. Likewise, when we want to embark on an adventure, there’s only one person to partner up with. And that’s Gonzo on the Gonzo’s Quest slot, joining us on a quest to unearth the treasures of El Dorado. Last but not least, Da Vinci Diamonds is a subtle take on the famous painter’s artwork. Tumbling Reels, Free Spins and an ageless, artsy feel make this the Mona Lisa of slots.

Old But Not Forgotten

It seems like an eternity ago when these slots first came on the scene but they really do stand the test of time. Perhaps because they’re no-nonsense, great games. We can pick up and play them anytime we like, enjoy all the features they have to offer and we don’t cringe at the dated graphics on some of them. Well, maybe just a teensy bit. But in a friendly, jesting big brothery kind of a way.
