Review
Return to Roaring Twenties for a reel charleston on the slot from StakeLogic. Flappers brings the glitz and glamour of the epic 1920s era to a 5×3 game and takes you to one of the exclusive clubs for an encounter with four dancers, wild microphones and a free spins round that can lead to wins of up to 1,798 times your bet.
Slot Details
Flappers is a video slot in a 5×3 format with 20 fixed pay lines. Wins are awarded for three to five matching symbols on a line from left to right only. You can relive the Roaring Twenties on desktop or mobile from 0.20 to 100 credits per spin. The game has low to medium volatility (2/5) with a default RTP of 95.98%. Some operators might offer the game with secondary RTP settings that can be as low 94.47%, always check the help files to find out which version you will be playing.
The decade after World War I became known as the Roaring Twenties for its upswing in people’s sentiment. Everyone was tired of the war and enjoyed a period of peace, prosperity, downright decadence and for women, it turned into a decade of liberating developments. One of the best-known appearances were the flappers. They would wear relatively short dresses that didn’t cover the knees, drink champagne and dance the Charleston, totally unheard of until then and an important moment in our history for women’s rights. The era is also known for its art-deco culture that is still popular today and that reflects on the slog design. A lush scene from an amusement establishment with flappers dominating the frameless reels reflects perfectly the spirit of the 1920s. A Charleston soundtrack only adds further to the authenticity.
The pay symbols start at the low end with the card suits – diamonds, clubs, spades and hearts – symbolizing differently coloured gems and awarding 1.5x to 2.5x your bet for a single five of a kind. They are followed by four flapper girls extravagantly dressed in blue, green, orange and red. They appear in full reel height during the base game while in the free spins they will change to single symbols. Hit five on a line to win 15x to 25x your stake.
A golden 1920s microphone is the wild symbol, appearing two symbols high and substituting for all regular pay symbols. A cigar-smoking security guard acts as the scatter on this slot.
Flappers Slot Features
After some more volatile games such as Super Wild Megaways and Black Gold Megaways, StakeLogic has taken a more leisurely approach with Flappers took a smoother math model as the basis for the gameplay. While the stacked premiums can deliver 500x your bet in the base game, it won’t break your bank either way. A little more potential has been reserved for the only feature, a Free Spins round with Active Reels and Expanding Wilds.
Hitting three, four or five scatters in full or partial view will trigger 8, 15 and 40 free spins respectively, which cannot be retriggered as such but any microphone wild landing on a free spin will add +1 free spin, no limits. During the feature, the Flappers symbols change from the 1×3 size to a single 1×1 format, plus the game will highlight 1 – 5 reels on every spin. A dancer symbol landing on a so-called Active Reel will expand and turn into a full reel height wild for the current free spins, providing extra potential to score a win. Hitting five Wild Flappers on a line will yield 50x your bet, taking the maximum you can win in a single free spin to 1,000x your stake for a full screen.
Last but not least is the well-known Gamble option that is available on all StakeLogic slots. You can gamble any win in the base game to either guess the colour for doubling the win or the suit of playing cards to quadruple it. A small bar at the bottom displays the history of your last gambles, which some players might see as a guide. We recommend some caution on using the option as losing the gamble repeatedly will have quite an impact on your playing balance.
Final Verdict
Flappers comes across as a feel-good slot with tip-toe animating music that won’t break the bank either way and give you extended gaming sessions even on a smaller budget. It misses though to convey the cheerful atmosphere of the decadent 1920s era, a random feature or some other modifiers would have given it that extra ‘oomph’ to make it an exciting game to make a journey back to the Roaring Twenties truly worthwhile.
