Groovy Automat Introduction
Some things in life are truly timeless and can never grow old. The classic fruit-machine theme is one of these things and has been given a new lease of life in Groovy Automat, a new take on the retro theme by the prolific developers at Casino Technology. It's packed with features, including a double-or-nothing bonus game, golden scatters and stunning retro stylised symbols, and we at Online Pokies 4U know that you won’t want to miss out on the fun!
The Look
Groovy Automat lives up to its name in every sense - the music is certainly groovy, with elements of funk and the odd jazz piano riff, along with satisfying retro sound effects as you spin and win. The action takes place in front of a huge party, complete with spotlights and a dancing crowd.
Some of the symbols look decidedly bling, sparkling with gold and diamonds, whereas the fruit symbols have retained their retro appearance but look delicious nonetheless - and they’re all yours to play for!
How to Play
The options on the lower left of the screen allow you to set the game up as you please. Clicking ‘bet’ adjusts the amount that you stake per line, and the ‘line’ button beneath this allows you to change the number of active paylines from one to five. Bet amounts per line vary from 1 to 100, with credit values ranging from $0.01 to $0.2, giving you the possibility to bet up to 500 credits per spin.
If you’d rather relax and watch the action unfold, Groovy Automat has an auto-spin facility which can be set with the ‘auto’ button in the bottom right. Simply set the number of spins you’d like to automate, from five to 100, then sit back and watch the reels go wild! Groovy Automat also offers an extra feature for those particularly daring players - after every winning spin, you go head to head against the dealer in a game of cards.
Guess the colour of the face-down card to double your winnings, or try your luck guessing the suit and you could walk away with four times as much as you came to the table with!
Familiar Fruit
Groovy Automat takes its inspiration from the fruit machines of old, and nowhere is this more obvious than with the symbols. You’ll meet all of your old favourites, from cherries and watermelons to lemons and oranges. These were originally used when gambling was illegal: the machines dispensed actual fruit, which could then be traded for a prize, as a way of getting around the law.
Times have changed, but the symbols live on. Cherries are the least valuable, but when playing with a maximum bet, a line of five will still earn you a generous payout of 20,000 credits! Lemons and oranges, and watermelons and apples are treated as one-of-a-kind pairs respectively, which helps you to form more winning combos.
Unsurprisingly, the diamond-encrusted gold dollar sign is the most sought-after symbol - line up five of these to win a shocking prize of 500,000 credits! The gold coin adorned with a lucky four-leaf clover is the scatter symbol - these pay out if you land three or more anywhere on the reels, with prizes of up to 125,000 credits to be won!
