Slotris Slots

Many modern slot machines draw on retro influences to create a sense of nostalgia for those classic arcade games of old. But none of those games quite match the retro charm of Slotris by Ash Gaming, a gambling game which combines the aesthetics and gameplay of Tetris with the random chance of a slot machine. Therefore, players can revisit those past days of tessellating glory while potentially winning some seriously satisfying cash prizes.

Time to tessellate!

Everyone who grew up before the age of cutting edge games consoles will be more than familiar with retro arcade games. Think of those pixilated epics such as Space Invaders, Pacman and Q*bert. But none of those olden day games can quite compare to the simple pleasures of Tetris – a game which can be infuriatingly frustrating and utterly satisfying all at the same time. Either way, we have all wasted hours on the game trying to achieve high score immortality by completing lines with those colourful blocks.

This slot machine (which isn't exactly unique, see Cash Blox by this same manufacturer) draws on the same style of Tetris to present a 10x15 grid in which different shaped blocks fall. However, players won't have any control on how the blocks align, leaving the possibility of lines being formed completely up to chance – which might not be the easiest of thing to spectate if you are one of those Tetris players who can't stand to see a messy game screen!

Win prizes with Tetris

So how exactly does Slotris pay out wins if it is just a randomised version of Tetris? Well, that is the beauty of the game, because every time a full line of 10 blocks is formed across the horizontal plane of the grid, a winning prize will be awarded in accordance to the size of the stake that is placed per turn and the quantity of lines that are formed. The wagering options provide ample scope for casual bettors and big risk takers to play with a minimum stake of 0.10 and a maximum of 10 credits per play.

The lowest win available would be to find just one single line to return 0.1x the value of the total bet. So if you placed a max bet of 10 credits, you would only get 1 credit back. If you were to find one double line then you would receive a 0.2x multiplier, while one triple line would pay 1x to return the stake and a quadruple line would pay 4x the bet value.

Ok, so those prizes might not seem very lucrative but, trust us, it gets better. That is because every consecutive single, double, triple and quadruple line that is won on every turn will award an additional prize which grows exponentially bigger in value every time. So, for example, a second single line will pay 0.4x the value of the total bet, and a third single line will pay 2x the total bet and a fourth will reward 10x. This prize scale keeps on rising through the various permeations until the top jackpot payout of 4,000x when a fourth quadruple line appears on one spin. With a maximum stake of 10 credits on the board, that will reward a prize of 40,000 credits on top of the wins worth 40, 400 and 4,000 credits that will have been accrued on the first, second and third lines.

Of course, the best way to get your way around how this slot machine works is to play it and, luckily, the game is available to play as a demo courtesy of William Hill. This way, you can see for yourself how the wins stack up without having to place any real money bets. Try it right here at VegasSlotsOnline, the biggest collection of free slots no download.

Get some freeplays

Slotris is unique enough without any special gameplay features and players might find that the game is sufficiently entertaining to provide hours of fun. However, the game does incorporate a simple bonus element to reward players with free games and doubled wins. These 10 free plays will be triggered whenever a special multi-coloured “Magic Block” is present in a fully formed line. All of the wins in the free games will be multiplied by 2x.

Retro charm with cash prizes

Slotris is a great game for fans of retro games – and slot machines in general – who are looking for something that is a bit different from the norm. The game may take a few plays before punters can get their heads around the uniquely formulated pay schedule, but it the overall gameplay is quite straightforward and intuitive. But the best thing about this gambling game by Ash Gaming is the way in which it incorporates all of the arcade charm of Tetris into a game that could potentially reward players with some handsome cash prizes.
