Game Overview
It’s a good job that the review of my latest online slot will get posted over a weekend, as it is more than likely to get you in the mood for a night of partying, socialising, and pulling off some sensational/embarrassing (delete the applicable word) moves on a dancefloor. That’s right, ladies and gents. It’s disco night, and that means big hair, big flairs, glitter, and lots of pointing in the style of John Travolta. The slot to get you the groove for the big night? It’s none other than the Ultra Disco slot from Platipus Gaming, a 6-reel slot with up to 321,489 Ultraways, a 95.47% maximum win, and a groovy 9,410x maximum win.
Ultra Disco uses the Ultraways mechanic, which is nothing more than a souped-up Megaways. It delivers at least 1,024 ways to win and up to 321,489 depending on how many symbols land on the 6 main reels and the two horizontal reels below and above. If the pumping soundtrack on this slot doesn’t get you nodding in approval, then perhaps the features will. There is a Disco Feature that can reveal between 1 and 4 fully wild reels holding win multipliers of between 4x and 9x. If more than one contributes to the same winning combination, those multipliers are multiplied with each other, meaning it’s possible to land win multipliers of up to 256x before they’re applied to wins. If you trigger the free spins bonus, those wilds remain on the reels indefinitely between spins until they have played their part in a winning combination.
Seriously, if this slot doesn’t get you in the party mood, nothing will. Check it out using the free Ultra Disco slot demo below.
Ultra Disco slot theme, stakes, pays & symbols
As I was bopping away to this slot, I thought of other slots that have had me grooving in my chair as I’m writing a review. You’ll find plenty of them in our music slots category, but the specific titles that instantly sprang up for me were two slots, DJ Psycho and The Rave from Nolimit City. Both feature amazing soundtracks, but if I were to pick the better slot, it would have to be The Rave, just because the gameplay is amazing, the bonus features and mechanics are lucrative, and there is a 41,500x the stake maximum win.
I’m not sure the soundtrack on Ultra Disco competes with either, but it’s still enough to get stomping your feet in appreciation. Do the symbol payouts have the same effect? Let’s see. Well, as it’s a cascading reels slot, the top return of 20x the stake for six of the Platipus Decks is pretty good. We then have the Microphone, which delivers up to 12.5x, the Headphones with rewards of up to 10x, and the 7.5x and 6x top returns of the Cocktail and Glasses, respectively. Each of the Ace, King, Queen, and Jack top out at 4x the stake.
I’m not sure the staking options will appeal to everyone. The minimum bet on Ultra Disco is €0.80 per spin, and the maximum is €80.00. They are from the demo version, though, so perhaps the real money version has a wider betting range.
Ultra Disco slot base game
Boogeying on down to the gaming area of the Ultra Disco slot, there are 6 vertical reels and a 4 position horizontal reel across both the top and bottom of the primary grid. The first and last reels can hold between 2 and 7 symbols on any spin, and the middle reels can have between 4 and 9. Due to that reel configuration, spins could deliver anywhere between 1,024 and 321,489 ways to win.
Lining up three or more matching symbols on adjacent reels from left to right is required to receive payouts. The slot also utilises a cascading reels mechanic, which means winning symbols are removed from the reels and more fall onto the playing grid from above.
Disco Feature
Disco symbols can only appear on the 4-position horizontal reels above and below the primary playing grid, and if they appear on both on the same reel, the Disco Feature triggers. The two symbols unfold to fill the entire reel with a giant Wild Symbol and hold a multiplier value of between 4x and 9x. That multiplier is the same number as there were symbols on that reel on the triggering spin.
The Wild remains on the reels for the duration of the current spin or until it has helped to create a winning combination. The multiplier is applied to the combination payout the wild helped to create. If multiple wilds contribute to a single combo, their multiplier values are multiplied by each other before they’re applied to the win.
Ultra Disco slot bonus features
As you’re grooving away to the disco vibes during the base game, your moves on the dancefloor might trigger something special. No, it’s not an approach from an attractive admirer seeking a dance partner, but the Ultra Disco bonus game.
Free Spins Feature
The free spins bonus triggers once 3 or more scatter symbols land anywhere in view on the gaming grid. You’re awarded 8 free spins for the initial 3 and an additional 2 spins for each extra scatter symbol on top. You can also receive even more spins as the bonus plays out, with 2 being added to your current total each time a scatter symbol lands.
The difference between the free spins and those in the base game is that the Wild Multiplier symbols awarded as part of the Disco Feature will remain sticky on the reels across spins until they have played their part in a winning combination.
Bonus Buy
An alternative way to unlock the free spins bonus on Ultra Disco is to buy it from the Buy Bonus feature for 40x the current stake.
Pros
- The Ultraways mechanic can deliver spins with up to a whopping 321,489 win ways.
Cons
- The staking options on the demo, at least, are a little unorthodox.
- Below average RTP.
Ultra Disco Slot Review Final Thoughts
I’ve checked out quite a few slots from Platipus now, and in terms of modern mechanics and features, this is way ahead of the rest. The visuals are great, the soundtrack is fantastic, and with up to 321,489 Ultraways and a maximum win of 9,410x the stake, there’s plenty of winning potential too.
