What is it about those old fashioned vinyl records that are so evocative of nostalgia? They would warp, they would scratch, they would melt in the sun and once they did the only think you could do with them was to make plant pots.
Downloading digital music and playing CDs can more or less guarantee quality sound, at least from the viewpoint of sound engineering if not from that of content, but there is something about digital sounds that is lacking compared to the rich tones that are unique to vinyl.
Vinyl Countdown is a five reel slot with nine paylines, and is set in the times when Elvis Presley and Buddy Holly filled the airwaves with such hits as ‘Heartbreak Hotel’ and ‘Peggy Sue’. The old 78s had been replaced with 45 rpm singles and LPs that rotated at a steady 33 1/3 rpm and lasted around 45 minutes. When we first loaded up Vinyl Countdown at our favourite online casino we were expecting some bumper sounds from those swinging 50s and early 60s, before The Beatles’ first LP, and were somewhat disappointed to find that there was no soundtrack at all. Perhaps that was because we were in demo mode and you need to play it for real to hear the music,
But then we found a small button that switched on the sound. However that was also disappointing; rather than playing in silence there was a soundtrack of background chatter and the various dings and dongs of retro slot games available to find from www.riverbellecasino.com when you made your bet and hit the spin button, but still no rock-n-roll. Regardless, it isn’t a bad five reel nine payline slot and it does seem to pay out quite frequently. It is certainly worth a spin or two, and you might be more successful at getting some tunes out of that juke box.
