The Super Eighties Slot

Okay, so we come to the third and final identical game three - The Super Eighties. The last two games, The Groovy Sixties and The Funky Seventies, were rather disappointing games, to say the least. There wasn't anything in those two games that could attract me, or keep me playing for longer periods of time, so I wasn't expecting anything different with this Super Eighties game. After all, they all share the same paytable, and all have rather uninteresting graphics, so one game is as good or as bad as the other.

Briefly, yet again, the Wild symbol has a very low payout of only 1000x the line bet for getting 5 of them, totally unlike any other NetEnt games, and getting 3 Scatter symbols also has a lower than usual win of only 2x the total bet, thereby making me more positive that these 3 games were not from the usual NetEnt game designers, or not even from NetEnt. Triggering a Free Spins game by getting 3 Scatters would award a disappointingly low 5 free spins with a 2x multiplier, more free spins can be retriggered, but with only 5 extra free spins per retrigger, they could hardly make much difference in the final payout, as I have found out, after playing this game over the years. The other symbols in the game have even lower win values, from just 400x down to 100x the line bet for any 5-of-a-kind win. A totally disappointing paytable!

Getting a Free Spins game is the only good thing to look out for in this game. The base game payouts are usually not of much good, even with all those stacked Wild symbols on all 5 reels, simply because the regular symbols themselves cannot pay big! During the free spins, the 2x multiplier is also lacking in 'oomph' to produce any good wins, but nevertheless, it is still possible to get wins of 100x or more, but bigger wins than 200x the total bet seem almost impossible to get! For a low/medium variance game, I was totally disappointed in how difficult it was to get any Free Spins game from this The Super Eighties game!

Would I play again on any of the three identical games? Nope! I would rather let them participate in the eternal winter Olympics in my deep freezer! Hahaha.

The Super Eighties by NetEnt is 5-reels, 40-paylines video slot with min.bet of 0.40 cents. This game looks alike Groovy Sixties and Funky Seventies which I reviewed a day ago and all of then are 'oldies' just like this one. I don't know time frame in what these slots were released but i noticed that not only NetEnt but others too, tending to release 3 new slots with same paytable and it's very disappointing because players want to see something really new and not alike and not the same! Looking at poor graphics and symbols and the pinky note, I am not sure what to say. I was born 1982. and I had in possession all the symbols representing 80's and if this was the cellphone on the reels,well,I was late 20 yrs.:)

Frankly speaking something serious happened to the world we live in, to parents,generations and everyone else. Seems like things will never be on it's place and we are getting into more crazy and nonsense theme in real lives. This game too has poor paytable and the most valuable symbol car pays only 400 coins for collecting 5 of them.

Don't be surprised if stacked wild appear on the reels because it seems to be the only feature that could boost your balance a bit. Wild substitute for all except for the scatter symbol.If you manage to collect 5 wild symbols you get 1000 coins prize reward. 3 scatter symbols pay x2 total bet and activate Free Spins bonus feature and it only 5 free spins in The Super Eighties slot. Its possible to get additional 5 spins but it's true shame they decided to make such a 'poor' paytable. You have nothing to win and 'tool' read: features are missing as well as cash prize. I just can't see how could I make any wins .

Super Eighties is another 40 payline, 5 reel slot coming from NetEnt. This game is the same like Groovy Sixties and Funky Seventies. I guess the designers in NetEnt decided to make one slot game for each decade of the past century. It would be great if all of these slots had something different but sadly it’s the same slot game with only different symbols and background music. This game also has poor graphic and animations. The symbols are simple and visually I found nothing attractive about this game.

The paytable is the same like both previous slots, very low payout of only 400 coins for 5 cars on the reels. The only good thing about this slot is that the wilds can come stacked on all reels. This can provide some nice 30-40 x bet win during base play to make up for all the dead spins in between. The scatter symbols don’t have a payout attached and you need 3 of them to trigger the free spins bonus. Another big minus is that the game is missing the standard 2 x bet payout for 2 scatters.

In the bonus round you get only 5 free spins with all prizes tripled. If you get an additional 3 scatters you get extra 5 free spins. Still the bonus rounds are a real disappointment. Usually you have wins of only about 30 x bet. Even with a retrigger my biggest win here was only 50 x bet which is really disappointing.

Overall all 3 slot games are the same and I really don’t know why the designers didn’t change anything in the features to make these games more attractive to play. I think that the free spins number should be at least 10 so I would think to play this game and win some money. The bonus round is hard to retrigger and honestly I will never play these games again because in the end you just lose money.

Super Eights online video slot is powered by net entertainment, yes, this swedish guys who more than popular this days, and which games created we all love to play, everyday, every hour :D Sounds like addicted...

Anyway, the super eights is an old video slot from net entertainment, and it is send us back to 80' s and this is what this slot themed about. Sounds and graphics looks good for me, and i did not have any feeling that this is outdated slot machine when i am playing it.

Super eights video slot is clone of groovy sixties and the funky 70' s video slots, and there is everything the same expect pictures, but i like to play them all, because it is just interesting to play everything the same but with different graph, this gives you a chance did not get bored from everything the same. This slot has 40 paylines to play with, and on every reel you can get stacked wilds, so yes my wild lovers, we can get on this slot full screen of wilds, and payout will be nice for such win. Also you can get free spins on this slot by triggering 3 scatters, they only presented on first 3 reels, so does not wait to get 5 scatters on this slot, this is impossible. For 3 scatters you get only 5 free spins, but with 2 x multiplier, and with different reels, on which much more wilds, so get a lot of wilds on free spins even easier then on the base game.

I never get full screen of wilds on this slot, so i play it sometimes to get them, i am sure one day i will post a picture with nice full screen of wilds. I like this slot, nothing else i want to share or say.

After reviewing the slots The Groovy Sixties and The Funky 70's, now it's time to analyze the other version which is based on the 80's era. An era a lot of people have fond memories about, including me. The Net Entertainment slot which focuses on an 80's inspired them is called The Super Eighties.

If you've previously played the games mentioned above, then you might find yourself either liking this slot or disliking it. Why? Well, simply for the reason they kept the structure of the game the same. Basically everything is the same, apart from the theme, music and used symbols.

The Super Eighties has 40 paylines and 5 reels just like The Groovy Sixties en The Funky 70's. On each reel there are 4 symbols to help you reach any winning combination. The symbols make you think of the 80's right away, since Walkman's, skateboards, joysticks, Porches, heeled shoes and even mobile phones are used to depict this vivid colored era.

Just like the other games there are stacked wilds on every reel, so the potential is definitely there, since on max bet of 100 euros, the max win would be 200,000 euros. I played this game on the minimum bet of 40 cents though, and managed to get only one free spins session. One time during base game I even managed to get reels 3, 4 and 5 complete wild, while reels 1 + 2 didn't match.

That was so frustrating as you see that often with Microgaming slots. Luckily I did catch free spins during that specific session (3 scatters needed to trigger 5 free spins and a 2x multiplier). During those free spins I won like 60 euros (150x bet size).

Like I mentioned during the reviews of the other similar slots, I do think 5 free spins is not worth it. Great game, great design but 5 free spins? Come on! Even though I'm not happy with the number of free spins you get, this slot is prolly one of very few I booked a profit on lol. Albeit only a small profit of like 50 euros.

Final rating for Super Eighties is 7.5/10
