Miami Glow - Sunset slots

Source: Microgaming

Miami Glow is bringing back the 1980’s not with a bang, but rather with mellow sundowner vibes. Miami Glow is a new online slots experience from Snowborn games and Microgaming that features a retro 1980’s feel. Neon colours, a laid-back original soundtrack and simplified gameplay make Miami Glow a casual experience. Spin Casino is the online home of this and many other online slots and table games.

Glowing colours

Miami Glow is very much inspired by its titular city and the movies that feature it. TV shows like Miami Vice, or movies like Scarface are very much inspirations behind the game's unique visual aesthetic. The developers at Snowborn Games went into the design of Miami Glow with the art style of these movies firmly etched in their minds.

One important aspect of the visual design that the team chose to focus on was the realism of the neon glow from the game’s colourful symbols. To further this retro look the team even added a soft VHS filter over all the visuals to strengthen the design.

An equal amount of care and focus was put into the game’s original soundtrack. The result is a synthesised retro soundtrack that calls back to the SEGA arcade sounds of the time.

The vibe the team was aiming for is very much realised in the real-life location of Miami’s Ocean drive. This stretch of prime beachfront real estate has been a popular location for the trendiest restaurants, clubs, and bars in Miami through the 1980’s and even today. In the words of Snowborn Games, the design of the game was meant to evoke the feeling of “driving along Ocean Drive in a Ferrari Daytona Spyder in the sunset”.

All this comes together in a game that should be especially appealing to casual players fond of enjoying a relaxing slots experience. The result is an online slots title that’s simple to play and easy to spend time in.

The symbols are really the highlight of Miami Glow. These include the unique symbols of the pink diamond, cocktail, flamingo and kiss. Of course there are also the common slots symbols of Spades, Hearts, Diamonds, and Clubs, as well as the Wilds, Sticky Wilds and Glow Bonus symbols. Every symbol in the game is modelled after real neon signs that give them a uniquely detailed ambience that pops right off of the screen.

Feature-rich slots gaming

Let’s explore some of the unique features of Miami Glow.

Miami Glow features 5 x 3 reels that pay out across 10 possible paylines. It also features Wild symbols, bonus triggers, Multipliers and Free Games.

Every spin in the game is played out across all 10 paylines and any wins across multiple paylines are added together. There can only be one payout per payline however, and only the highest win is paid out per line.

Wilds symbols are able to stand in for any symbol in the game with the exception of the Glow symbol. Multipliers occur randomly and can multiply winnings by a factor of 1, 2, 3, 5, or 10. Multipliers also occur during both the base game and feature spins.

Speaking of feature spins, one of the most notable symbols in the game is the Sticky Wild Symbol which triggers the Sticky Wild Respin. Sticky Wild symbols are also able to stand in for any other symbol with the exception of the Glow Symbol. Sticky Wild symbols remain in position on the reel until the player has played through all of their respins.

Miami Glow’s most important symbols are the titular Glow symbols which only land on the 1, 3, and 5 reels and cannot be retriggered. 3 Glow symbols trigger a GLOW bonus which grants 1 Free Spin with a guaranteed payout from stacked Wilds. Base game multipliers are also applied to all wins made from the GLOW bonus spins.
