Push Gaming · 2022
Retro Tapes is a high volatility video slot by Push Gaming on a 6x9 Cluster Link grid. This page covers figures, rules and features before the first spin.
Choose Retro Tapes if you want a cluster game with a music and neon theme. The board is a 6x9 Cluster Link grid of cassette symbols in six colours, from red to grey. A win needs five or more adjacent symbols of the same colour, which makes five the fewest that can pay. Winning clusters cascade and collapse, and new symbols fall into the empty places until no new cluster forms.
Pick Retro Tapes if you want a bonus that can start from any position on the grid. Three or more Wild Tape Symbols landing anywhere trigger the Top Charts Feature, which awards 6 Free Spins for three symbols and up to 12 for six. Carried-over Wild Tape and Instant Prize symbols stick while the grid fills every empty position.

Retro Tapes screens
Useful when you want to see the grid and feature screens before choosing a bet.
Know your costs
Kingbet9 states each cost in your own bet, so the price is clear before the first spin.
You set the bet from A$0.10 up to A$100 before the first spin. The 10,000x win cap scales with that bet, so the choice decides how much money is at stake.
You scan the 6-column, 9-row Cluster Link grid for five or more adjacent symbols of one kind. Those symbols win, then they cascade and collapse.
You let Tumble refill the grid after each win. Wild, Scatter and Wild Multiplier symbols sit on this grid too, so a win can involve more than matching cassettes.
You can buy into this feature at a fixed multiple of your bet. Once it runs, up to 6 Wild Tape Symbols can convert.
Set your bet and your spending limit before the first spin. The result of a session cannot be known in advance, so stop when your limit is reached.
Test the rules first
After this, you will know which version fits your first session before any deposit.
Choose the demo to learn the grid, which needs no money and pays nothing. Real play starts only with a Kingbet9 Casino account and legal age of 18.
Play for moneyDeciding how long to keep spinning means working with a figure nobody holds in advance: how often the bonus round arrives. Retro Tapes gives no schedule for it, and the result of one session is random, whatever the published RTP says. The RTP describes returns over a very large number of rounds, not over the evening you are playing. Read each session as a separate outcome.
Choosing how to play Retro Tapes starts with knowing which RTP version runs in front of you. The two versions are close, but they are not the same game setting. Which RTP version Kingbet9 runs is shown only in the game rules, so read that section before the first spin.
Deciding what a big result could be worth starts with the ceiling. The maximum win of Retro Tapes is x10,000 of the current bet, which is A$10,000 at the example bet of A$1. That ceiling is reached very rarely, and nothing on this page predicts when. Treat it as the top of the scale, not as an expected payout.
Retro Tapes questions
You will have checked the volatility, demo access, RTP versions and bet range of Retro Tapes.
Choose Retro Tapes knowing that its volatility is high, so results swing widely between small and large returns. The top win is 10,000 times the bet, and how often a large win lands cannot be known before play.
Try Retro Tapes in fun play before you stake real money. Fun play uses fun currency instead of A$, so you can follow how a round runs at no cost to your balance.
Compare the two versions before you choose how to play. The base game runs at 96.47%, while the two feature modes run at 96.71%. RTP is a long-run average over many rounds, so it says nothing about a single session.
Set your stake between A$0.10 and A$100 before the first spin. The tables on this page use A$0.50 and A$1 only as examples. A$100 is the highest bet allowed here, so it sets the largest possible win.
