RetroVerse

RetroVerse, a 6x9 grid of arcade consoles

Choosing RetroVerse means picking a video slot from Push Gaming with a 6x9 grid and an arcade and neon theme. Wins come from Cluster Pays: five or more matching symbols that touch horizontally or vertically form a cluster and pay. After each win, the paying symbols are removed and new symbols tumble down, so one spin can produce several wins. The fewest symbols that pay is five.

Deciding whether to use Push Bet Boost means weighing a Total Bet of 1.5x Base Bet against a higher chance of Free Spins. Wins are still calculated on the Base Bet. Free Spins start when three or more Scatter symbols land anywhere on the grid, giving six spins with three Scatters and twelve with six. Sticky Wild and Wild Multiplier add features.

RetroVerse bonus rules

Learn the entry rules before you spin

Most players want to know when a bonus starts before they spin.

Landing three on the grid

Before you spin, know that 3 or more Scatter (BNS) symbols landing anywhere on the grid start the Free Spins Feature. 3 Scatters give 6 spins, 4 give 8, 5 give 10, and 6 give 12. The mode's RTP is 96.32%.

Base gameFree spins

Standard bonus to Super step up

If you are comparing the bonus modes, note that the Super Free Spins Feature has an RTP of 96.41%, against 96.32% for the Free Spins Feature. It starts from the base game, separate from the organic trigger of the Free Spins Feature.

Cluster grid and Base Bet

Choosing your Base Bet matters here, since each round is capped at 10,000x that bet. The base game uses a 6 columns x 9 rows grid with Cluster Pays and tumbling symbols. A winning cluster needs 5 or more adjacent same-symbol symbols, horizontal or vertical. Its RTP is 96.24%.

Placing a betCluster wins

Turn on 1.5x Total Bet before spinning

Deciding whether to switch on Push Bet - Boost sets your Total Bet to 1.5x Base Bet. The toggle increases the chance of triggering the Free Spins Feature. Wins are still evaluated on Base Bet, not on the inflated Total Bet. This toggle carries an RTP of 96.42%.

Five steps per round

From the bet you set to the payout

The worry this page clears first is not knowing how a bet turns into a win.

  1. Range from A$0.10 to A$100

    You pick a bet from A$0.10 up to A$100 before the first round. Examples here use A$2 and A$10, and each win is measured against your Base Bet.

  2. RetroVerse clusters tumble away

    You look for five or more matching symbols touching across or down the 6x9 grid. Winning symbols tumble away and new ones fall in.

  3. Which features does RetroVerse list?

    You watch for Wild and Sticky Wild symbols, plus Multiplier Spots and a Progressive Multiplier, which the game lists among its features.

  4. Land three Scatter symbols

    You land three or more Scatter symbols anywhere on the grid to start the Free Spins Feature, which gives 6 to 12 spins. You can also buy the feature instead.

  5. Support when play stops feeling fun

    Decide how much you will bet and when you will stop before the first spin. If play stops feeling fun, call the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858.

Buying a bonus round in money

Buying a bonus costs a multiple of the Base Bet, so at A$10 Free Spins cost A$1,200 and Super Free Spins cost A$2,800.

Why does one slot list several returns?

Before you stake, look at the return: RTP is the share of each A$100 staked that the game pays back over a long run. The version this site runs is shown in the game rules.

Why a quiet run tells you nothing

Deciding whether to wait for the bonus round means accepting that its timing is unknown. How often the Free Spins Feature comes is not known in advance, and no one can calculate it from earlier spins. The result of one session is random whatever the RTP, so a run of quiet spins says nothing about the next one.

Before staking, find out which RTP version Surge Casino runs for RetroVerse. That answer is shown only in the game rules, not in the list of versions, which describe what each version returns to players over a very large number of spins.

Deciding how large a bet to place means weighing the maximum win against what you can afford to lose. The maximum win on RetroVerse is a ceiling that is reached very rarely, and no one can plan a session around reaching it. Read the ceiling as the upper limit of one round, not a target.

Know before spinning

Before the first spin, these questions come first

You will know if the demo runs, how free spins start, what buying costs and the top win.

Can I try the RetroVerse demo before playing for money?

Yes, RetroVerse can be tried in fun play before you stake real money. Fun amounts use the word fun instead of A$, so you can learn the controls before you stake any real money.

How many Scatter symbols start free spins in RetroVerse?

Three or more Scatter symbols landing anywhere on the grid start the Free Spins Feature. Three Scatters award 6 spins, four award 8, five award 10 and six award 12.

How much does it cost to buy the RetroVerse free spins?

The Free Spins Feature can be bought for 120x Base Bet, and the Super Free Spins Feature for 280x Base Bet. Priced on the A$10 example bet, they cost A$1,200 and A$2,800.

What is the maximum win on RetroVerse per round?

Each round is capped at 10,000x the Base Bet. At the A$10 example bet that is A$100,000, and at A$100, the highest bet allowed here, it reaches A$1,000,000.
