Game Overview

For me, there are three things you can attribute to the 80s, quality music, bad hairstyles, and neon lights, and it’s the last of those once again used to create nostalgic vibes in an otherwise modern slot. The game in question is the Platipus Gaming slot Urban Neon, a pink and purple neon-lit title that is both old-school and ultra-modern at the same time. On the reels are classic fruit symbols, while under the hood are features such as sticky, expanding, and stacked wild symbols, three free spins bonus games, and a buy bonus game. As for the basics, this is a 5-reel, 3-row, and 20-payline slot with a 95% RTP. 

While the base game on this slot could be more exciting, the slot springs to life once three scatter symbols trigger the free spins bonus. You can choose from three variations, each offering a contrasting number of spins and a different type of wild symbol. You can choose from 5, 10, or 15 spins with sticky, expanding, or stacked wilds, respectively. If you’d rather not wait for that bonus to trigger, you can use the slot’s buy bonus feature to purchase it instead.

If you’re a fan of classic-themed slots offering a few modern elements, Urban Neon might provide what you’re looking for. Of course, you’ll not know for sure until you’ve played it – something you can do for free via the Urban Neon slot demo below.

Platipus is the latest of many developers to use neon signs and the colours they emit as part of a slot’s theme, and the studio is up against some stiff competition as some of those titles have earned good ratings here at Demoslot. Slotmill has Neon Dreams, a simple 3×3 slot that can pay up to 5,000x the stake; Yggdrasil boasts an even bigger winning potential of 25,000x on its Neon Villains slot and NetEnt appeals to those who enjoy high RTP slots with its release of Neon Staxx. Finally, if you enjoy progressive jackpot slots, there is Relax Gaming’s excellent Neko Night Dream Drop to consider. 

While Urban Neon does not boast jackpots with the potential to turn you into an instant millionaire, there are some worthwhile symbol payouts to aim for. The Double Sevens have a top return of 50x the stake, the Single Seven can reward up to 45x, and the Double Bar pays as much as 40x. Next is the Single Bar, which has a 37.5x the stake return payable when five line up along a payline, while the Bell and Horseshoe pay up to 25x and 20x, respectively. The Lemons and Plums share a 10x maximum return, while the Cherries, Blueberries, and Strawberries all reward up to 7.5x. The Wild symbol, which can land on reels 2, 3, 4, and 5, does not have a payout value, but it helps create winning combinations by substituting for all regular symbols. 

You can play the Urban Neon slot for a minimum of €1.00 a spin, with the highest possible stake on the game reaching €100.00 a play. The lower end of that spectrum is not ideal, especially if you are a casual gamer with a smaller bankroll.

This slot’s neon-lit gaming area comprises five reels and three rows that contain 20 fixed paylines. Matching three or more symbols along a payline starting from the leftmost reel will result in a payout as per the paytable. 

Urban Neon slot bonus features

When three scatter symbols land across the three middle reels, you can choose from three free spin bonus game variations. Let’s examine these in more detail and see how they differ.

Free Spins Feature

Once triggered, you can choose from the following free spin bonus games:

  • 5 Free Spins with Sticky Wild Symbols: Wild symbols on the reels remain sticky until the end of the bonus game. 
  • 10 Free Spins with Expanding Wild Symbols: This time, wilds expand to turn their entire reels wild. 
  • 15 Free Spins with Stacked Wild Symbols: Wilds can appear stacked on the reels.

Bonus Buy

In regions where they’re permitted, the urban Neon slot has a buy bonus feature you can use to purchase the free spins bonus games. For 41x the current stake, you can choose from the three variations above. 

Pros

  • I cannot complain about Urban Neon's visuals, as these are top-drawer.
  • A simple slot to understand and three bonus rounds offering something different.

Cons

  • The 95% RTP is below the industry average for online slot games. 

Urban Neon Slot Review Final Thoughts

Slick production and several bonus game variations allow Urban Neon moments of fun. Still, unless you’re a big fan of lite-gaming slots, the gameplay can become monotonous after a while. There is a buy bonus, of course, so that may help to scratch the itch if the base game fails to deliver the action you seek.
