Comic book stores are like nerdy sanctuaries where you can find adults arguing over which version of Batman could actually take Superman down—spoiler alert: none of them. They’re temples of figurines and sealed comic bags, where every “new issue day” is basically a nerd’s Black Friday, only with fewer fistfights and more passive-aggressive shoving. Yes, the clientele are often wearing Cheeto-stained graphic t-shirts and an unmistakable odour but that’s part of the whole experience.

While the new release from Onlyplay, the Comics Store slot, is a bit more sterile than most comic book stores I’ve visited, it still offers some nostalgic charm.

Don’t forget your Inhaler

During base gameplay, any symbols involved in a winning combination will turn special for the next spin. If those symbols once again form a winning combination, any winning amount receives a 10x multiplier. However, if no winning combination involving that symbol occurs on the next spin, the symbol will lose its special status.

Instead of separate scatter and wild symbols, the slot’s golden register symbols acts as both symbols. When three or more of the symbol appears, a round of the slot’s free spins feature will be triggered.

Any special symbol that is active when a round of 10 free spins is triggered will remain special throughout your round of free spins. Additionally, any symbols that are upgraded to special symbols during a round of free spins will also remain special for the duration of your round. The slot’s free spins feature is fully retriggerable with three golden register symbols appearing during a round awarded an extra 10 spins.

Does the Comics Store slot capture the essence of nerd?

Onlyplay’s Comics Store slot offers betting range from $0.50 to $50. The slot boasts a maximum win of $250,000, achieved through a potential 5,000x multiplier. With high volatility, the slot delivers big win potential for those willing to take a risk. The slot’s RTP rate stands at 95.5%.

Sterile! That’s the best way I can describe how I feel about the Comics Store slot. While I was playing it, all I could think about was how much cooler it would be if it had been made by Nolimit City. It’s a topic right up their alley. Onlyplay just don’t have the edge to make this theme work and, as a result, the game is sterile and a little boring. I give the the Comics Store slot a five out of ten.

If you’re looking for a few Onlyplay slots that I do recommend, try out Lucky Tanks and Crystal Cascade.
