Push Gaming · 2022
Retro Tapes is a high volatility video slot by Push Gaming on a 6x9 cluster grid. This page covers its figures, rules and bonus modes.
Cassettes fill a 6x9 grid, and the Music and Neon theme sets the look of every spin. Five or more matching cassettes that sit next to each other form a cluster win. Those winning symbols then collapse and new ones fall in, so a single spin can produce several wins in a row. Six cassette colours share the reels, and five matching ones is the fewest that pays.
Three or more Wild Tape Symbols landing anywhere start the Top Charts Feature. Three to six symbols bring 6, 8, 10 or 12 free spins. Carried-over Wild Tape symbols stick in place while the grid fills until none remain. Free Spins and Super Free Spins can also be bought directly, and the Super version adds a guaranteed Wild Multiplier symbol with a random value.

How it plays
Read this before your first spin, when you choose a bet and want the order of events.
The reels wait for your stake, which can sit anywhere from A$0.10 up to A$100. The paytable uses A$0.20, and the A$5 example bet pays up to A$50,000.
Five or more adjacent cassettes of one colour win on the 6x9 grid. Winning cassettes cascade and collapse, and new symbols can form another cluster.
Three or more Wild Tape Symbols landing anywhere open the Top Charts Feature, which fills every empty position on the grid. Carried-over symbols stick until the round auto-completes.
Up to six Wild Tape Symbols can land and convert during the Free Spins / Singles Feature, which carries the higher RTP version of this slot.
The reels stop on a result no one can predict, so set a limit before you spin. Once the limit is reached, stop and call the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858.
Each purchase costs a fixed multiple of your bet, so at A$5 the Free Spins entry is A$500 and the Super Free Spins entry is A$2,000.
| Feature | Price | RTP |
|---|---|---|
| Free Spins (Singles Feature) | x100 · A$500 | – |
| Super Free Spins (Hits Feature) | x400 · A$2,000 | – |
The return to player shows what share of each A$100 staked the game pays back over a long run. Any single session can differ, and the version we run appears in the game rules.
| Return rate | RTP | Shipped as standard |

| Variant 1 | 96.71% | Not offered |
| Variant 2 | 96.47% | Supported |

Picking your way in
Westpoint Casino lists the game the same way either way, so you can look before you commit.
Demo reels run on credits that never become cash, and no payout follows them. A real balance needs an account here and you must be 18 or over.
Play for realCassettes land as Wild Tape Symbols when they land, and nothing on this page tells you how often that happens. Sessions run hot or cold with no pattern to lean on, and a high RTP of 96.47% describes a long-run average across millions of spins, not what your next twenty minutes hold. Treat every session as its own roll.
Two RTP configurations exist for this slot, and the rules screen inside the game shows which one the operator runs. The difference worth knowing is small, and it shapes the long-run return, yet the figure you see in the rules is the only one that counts for the version you are actually playing.
A win of 10,000x the bet sits at the top of the paytable as a ceiling, and hitting it is rare enough that most sessions never come close. The figure sizes the upside; it says nothing about what a normal round pays, so plan on the smaller cassette wins and treat the cap as the far edge.
Retro Tapes is for players aged 18+. Get help from the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858, or register with BetStop, the national self-exclusion register.
Decide how much you can afford to lose before the first spin, and do not add to that amount during a session.
Decide when to stop before you start, and stop straight away after a win as well as after a loss.
Use the deposit and loss limits in your account before you play, so the limit applies to every session.
Take a break or self-exclude when the game stops being fun, when you chase losses, or when play feels hard to control.

Four short answers
The four questions players ask first about RTP, bonus buying, bets and maximum win.
Base game spins return 96.47%, and both bonus features return 96.71%. Because their RTP is higher, the bonus features pay back more, but the figure is a long-run average and says nothing about one session.
Both bonus features can be bought, so no trigger on the reels is needed. The Free Spins buy costs 100 times the base bet, and the Super Free Spins buy costs 400 times, so a bet of A$5 makes them A$500 and A$2,000.
Every spin runs at a bet from A$0.10 up to A$100. The examples on this page use A$0.20 and A$5, which are reference amounts only, not the limits. Every payout scales with the bet you pick before the first spin.
A winning spin pays at most 10,000 times the current bet. At the highest bet of A$100 that comes to A$1,000,000, and at A$5 it is A$50,000. Whether a session reaches it cannot be known in advance.
