The first time I played this Vintage Vegas game from Rival was some time back, maybe about 2 years ago or so, can't really remember, but that first game gave me a surprising good win. The Wild symbol paid the winning combination by 11x in one of the free spins, resulting in a whopping good win for me, but I can't recall now how much that amount was. Why? Because I got excited and played on, increasing my bets gradually, hoping for another good win, but it was all just a daydream. I finally lost that game, along with my deposit too, but I was excited at what the game could do.
Vintage Vegas plays with 50 paylines and start with a minimum bet of $0.50 per spin. The Cowboy is the Wild symbol in the game, paying an incredible 15,000x the line bet for getting 5 of them. It pays 5x for wins in the base game, pays 11x for wins in the Free Spins game, and substitutes for other symbols except the Scatter symbol. Excellent! The Roulette Wheel is the Scatter symbol, but it doesn't pay anything for itself, too bad for being a dumb symbol in this case. Getting 3, 4 or 5 of these Scatters trigger 10, 20 or 60 free spins without any multiplier, but more free spins can be retriggered. Wins with the Wild symbol pay 11x. As for the other symbols, the Chips pay 5000x, the Gambler pays 2500x, the Announcer pays 1250x, the Dancer pays 500x, the Slot Machine pays 300x, the Dice pays 250x, the Cards pay 200x, and the rest pay from 150x to 75x, all per line bet for getting 5 of each kind. An excellent paytable and a very high variance game.
Playing Vintage Vegas can be exhilarating at times, but disappointing at most other times. Why? Being a high variance game, most payouts tend to be only small and mediocre ones. Even most of the Free Spins game would pay very little. Over my several sessions on this game, the Free Spins game could only pay me between 1x up to 35x my bet amount, and only once it paid me almost 100x over 20 free spins. That was the best I could get so far. I have yet to get a good 5-of-a-kind win with a Wild symbol during the free spins, which could definitely pay a nice huge win. One thing I do like about Vintage Vegas, so far, is that the Free Spins games have not exceeded 200 spins in coming, which is pretty good when compared to Microgaming games for example, which usually could span from 250 spins to almost 1000 spins before seeing one lousy Free Spins game. Vintage Vegas is a good game to play but very hard to win on, but when that big win comes, whoopie!
