Neon Links Review

We count almost 500 Neon-themed slots in our catalog at the time of writing, and Red Tiger has collaborated with partner R7 to add another one to the pile. The classic fruit machine theme combines well with a somewhat toned-down Vegas theme, although there are plenty of flashing lights surrounding the 5x3 reel set. Still, the theme is not as cliché as say, Wild Wild Vegas, which we reviewed the other day.

Keep your eyes peeled for neon lit symbols, as these are all the rage in this game. Line them up to transform all symbols in-between into matching symbols, and you’ll see plenty of this feature in the base game. The bonus round comes with something akin to the ’Book of’ mechanic, as the up-front and randomly chosen neon symbol will always land fully stacked for potentially full screen transformations.

Neon Links Slot Features

The low value royal symbols pay between 1.1x and 1.8x, while the fruit slot premium symbols pay between 2.5x and 25x your stake for 5-oak. The game does not come with a wild symbol, but there are neon versions of each of the regular symbols. These pay the same as the regular symbols however, but they can trigger the feature that defines this game.

Whenever you land 2 neon symbols on the same row on non-adjacent reels, all symbols in-between turn into the same matching neon symbol.

You trigger the Vegas Spins bonus round whenever you land 2 Vegas Spins bonus symbols on the same row on reels 1 and 5. This awards 10 free spins (or ‘Vegas Spins’, if you wish), and a neon symbol is randomly selected up front to be the stacked super symbol.

This chosen symbol lands as a 1x3 stacked neon symbol for the duration of the feature, and these stacks always land fully present on the reels. This means that if you land a neon stack on reels 1 and 5, all symbols in between turn into the same neon symbol. This awards a full screen win, which is the best you can hope for during the feature.

The 200 Spins Neon Links Slot Experience

You get to see the Neon Links feature several times in the base game, before we trigger the bonus round at the 1-minute mark into the 3-minute highlights video. We got lucky and landed the top-tier 7 symbol as the special 1x3 stacked symbol for the feature, and the stacked super neon links feature connected a couple of solid payouts for us.

Review Summary

The simple and slick visual presentation suits the Vegas theme pretty well, without making it too glossy and cliché. How the game looks is usually not an issue with Red Tiger, but they have a knack for “messing up” the math model. Neon Links could have been all that much better with a 5,000x single spin max win. This would put it up there in competition with the ‘Book slot’ siblings, while offering a new way to fill the screen for sudden big wins.

Having occasional stacked neon symbols also in the base game would have kept things a bit more interesting, as whatever smaller Neon Link connections you get now are mostly there to keep you afloat. With a decent chosen symbol the bonus round does offer exciting moments, and filling the screen is not all that uncommon. However, 250x is the most you can hope for from a single spin, and the max win is capped at 1,000x your stake.

Pros

• Neon symbols link transformation
• FS w/ 1x3 stacked neon link symbols
• Win up to 1,000x your stake

Cons

• Beware of adjustable RTP ranges
• Single spin max win is only 250x

If you enjoy Neon Links Slot you should also try:

Neon Staxx - is a somewhat similar NetEnt game, but here you get stacked symbols that can fill the screen with matching symbols. The bonus round comes with only premium symbol and/or wild stacks, and the max win of 400x is okay for a low to medium volatile release.

Twin Spin Megaways - is a powerful follow-up to NetEnt’s classic, and you can win up to 38,000x your stake. Play with up to 117,649 win ways, and benefit from avalanche reels, twin reels and a bonus round with indefinite free spins.

Bompers - is a clever and neon-infused installment in ELK’s gravity mechanic series, and bomper symbols turn into wilds when fully charged. The pinball theme is nicely done, and the bumper wilds are sticky in the bonus round. This can lead to payouts up to 5,000x your stake.
