Vinyl Countdown to what? A dancing competition, a singing competition, an eating competition, or merely a countdown to have a wild fun time? I really don't know which is implied here. There are a lot of food shown in the icons and only one icon of a dancing couple, so perhaps it refers to a countdown to good music, good dancing, and good food, in a disco somewhere, or wherever else it may be. For me personally, it turned out to be a countdown to boredom, which didn't take long to happen at all!
In this Vinyl Countdown game, the Wild symbol pays a low 1000x the line bet for getting 5 of them, and substitutes for other symbols except the Scatter symbol. It doesn't do anything else, so it's a dumb symbol. I hate dumb symbols in any game. The Disco Globe is the Scatter symbol, paying the usual 100x the total bet for getting 5 of them, but getting 3 or more of these Scatters doesn't trigger the Free Spins game, because there aren't any free spins at all. Yet another dumb symbol, sheesh! 3 Scatters pay 10x, 4 Scatters pay 50x, 5 Scatters pay 100x, but 2 Scatters pay nothing, not even a respin to try and get the third Scatter. As for the other symbols, the logo 'Vinyl Countdown' pays 1000x, the Man pays 900x, the Girl pays 700x, the Dancers pay 500x, the Shoes pay 300x, and the rest pay from 250x to 50x, all per line bet amount for getting 5 of each kind. A very low paytable for a 9 paylines game.
DISLIKED
Besides not liking the paytable, I also disliked how the game played and paid. My first ever play on this Vinyl Countdown game and it treated me with lots of empty non-paying spins, spin after spin after spin, and with no Free Spins game or any other Bonus game to take away the quickly creeping boredom! I couldn't even wait to see if the game could actually play or pay better with more prolonged play, but I had enough of the nothingness in very quick time! I quit playing Vinyl Countdown after 100 spins.
