Joystick Generation

Joystick Generation channels retro gaming themes, looking like something from an early 90s arcade video game. Since its launch in 2011, Joystick Generation has gone on to become one of our more popular online slots games, thanks in no small part to its ‘all ways’, 1024 pay lines in play. With bombs, coins, high cards, frogs, hamburgers, and a range of other themed symbols, this is a visually engaging slots game with a payout table to back it up.

You can bet from £0.20, ranging right up to £500 per spin, with the biggest wins available from the biggest spins. There are 1024 paylines to keep in mind, you’re potentially left winning all over the place on a good spin. Developed by our in-house software division, Joystick Generation is a fun look-back at early video game themes with a serious money edge, making this 5-reeler a must-see.

Placing Your Bets

The game starts in the main reels screen, themed around gadgets from the 80s and 90s. We’re talking joysticks (of course), as well as a retro Gameboy, controller and TV monitor. Choose how much you want to stake on the forthcoming spin, and hit the joystick when you’re ready. Check out the paytable linked from the Gameboy to get a better idea of all the paying combinations and the rate of return for each. When you land any of the 1024 paying combinations, you’re in the money.

Aside from the regular symbols you’re looking to line up, there are a number of special symbols to look out for. These icons have additional functionality as set out below.

Special Symbols

Joystick Generation Symbol: The Joystick Generation symbol is the scatter, with 3 or more of these symbols turning up on the reels kicking you into the Buckethead bonus feature, with free spins and multipliers. These can turn up on any of the reels. Land three at once to take your game up a notch.

5 Expanding Wilds: There are 5 wild symbols, each appearing on their own set reel. They are Reginald B. Munch, Squid Pig, Superdom, Ba Boom, and Veronica the Cow. Each of these wilds substitutes in for other missing symbols to complete any standing paylines, while expanding over their own or other reels to give you more wilds. For example, the Squid Pig flies across the reels dropping ink over certain symbols, expanding its wild feature across more of the reels ahead of your spin.

Otherwise, you’re looking to line up any series of symbols on a supported payline. Even without the scatters and wilds on your side, matching a payline will pay out on your stake, equivalent to the rate stipulated in the payout table.

Jackpots and Bonuses

There is no progressive jackpot to play for in Joystick Generation, but that doesn’t mean you can’t win a lot of money. Even on free spins, there are chances to win real money, and often with applicable multipliers escalating the amount in play. The main possible jackpot runs at up to 125,000.00, with 50 coins jackpots also available. Coupled with the expanding wilds and the scatters, which take you to the Buckethead bonus feature, there is ample opportunity for Joystick Generation to pay dividends.

Play Joystick Generation

If you are a member of the joystick generation, you’ll already be sold by the theming and design of this game, taking you right back to those heady days of the late 80s. Even if you weren’t there first time around, the game presents enough on its own merit to make it worth a look. Take Joystick Generation for a spin at partycasino, and you could be next to walk away with that juicy 125,000.00 jackpot.
