Klassik Introduction
Sometimes it’s good to go back to basics and with Klassik, Gameplay-Interactive had done just that. All the old school symbols are there but with a smart modern twist. If you like your free online pokies old school, then you’ll love Klassik. And if you love the whole steampunk vibe, you’ll love it too.
Theme
Klassik is a classic retro fruit machine game with a twist. Set in a fully realised steampunk universe, full of cogs and strange machinery, you’ll find all the old school symbols with which we’re all familiar - bells, bars and lucky 7s among them. The graphics are gorgeous, and the symbols are really well rendered in gold and rich jewel tones.
These are set against that austere, mechanical background that integrates with the reels so when you spin them, you set the machinery spinning, too.
Format
Played across 5 reels and 9 paylines, the gameplay is standard classic pokie fare too. There’s the usual choice of credit size and line bets and just as in all classic pokies, the more the bet the bigger the reward. If you’re feeling lucky there’s a max bet button to go all in on a spin.
A Classic/Klassik paytable
All the familiar fruit machine symbols are here, wearing their Sunday best high style. Here are your maximum rewards for a full house on a 1 credit line bet: 1 Bar, 2 Bars: 50 credits 3 Bars, Lucky 7: 200 credits Diamond, Club: 300 credits Heart, Spade: 1,000 credits Cherries: 5,000 credits Bells: 10,000 credits As you can see, there are some very tasty prizes in standard gameplay.
The higher paying symbols are rarer, but when you hit some strong winning combos you can quickly build a healthy pot.
Classic/Klassik Wilds and Scatters
Klassik keeps it just that, right through to the bonus features. You’ll only find a Lucky 7s wild symbol and a Dollar Sign scatter, in keeping with the retro gaming theme. The wild substitutes for all the paytable symbols and, as you might expect, delivers some high payouts in your winning combinations. The Dollar scatter can be very rewarding.
This doesn’t trigger a free spins bonus as has become common in modern pokies, but it can bring some very healthy reward in terms of multipliers when you land 3 or more anywhere on your 5 reels. The maximum multiplier is a whopping 300x your line bet, which makes this a scatter well worth keeping a lookout for.
Worth Grinding the Gears?
If you like your pokies with a lot of free spins and mini-games, you might find Klassik a little frustrating for its lack of features. But stick with it as the base play has a lot to recommend it, not least those superb animations. There are 2 great reasons to play this game. First it’s proper old school with more than a hint of nostalgia in the symbols and gameplay.
Second, it looks absolutely fantastic, and with those potentially huge rewards, it has to be worth a few minutes of your time!
