Disco Night M Slot Review & Free Play

Disco Night M: Dance Through the Reels for up to 50 Free Spins

The stage lights pulse, and the spotlight scans the room, but the reels of Disco Night M by CQ9 Gaming hold a paytable straight out of a 1980s arcade. Red and blue sevens, cherries, bells, and BARs on the five-by-three grid, with a single gold diamond carrying the keys to up to 50 free spins, each riding a climbing multiplier. 

In my base game, hits landed between 1x and 5x my bet, and I rarely waited more than five spins for one. Wilds dropped in often, but the blue sevens also carried some strong returns. The highest landed on a wild-stacked spin where five blue sevens combined across the reels for 30x my bet.

The bonus here has a really interesting and not-so-common system. The free game starts with 12 spins, and every spin carries a multiplier that climbs through the round. Land the diamond on all five reels, and the round begins.

The multiplier starts at 1x and adds 1x each spin. Bring six or seven diamonds on the trigger and the multiplier starts higher and climbs faster. By the 50th spin, the cap reaches 150x. Retriggers carry the multiplier over, so it keeps climbing.

Although it seems too much to ask for a scatter per reel, it's really fair in practice. I triggered the free game within the first 10 spins of my playthrough, so everything seems balanced out. I didn't retrigger another round, but this one totaled 93.4x my bet. I sneaked into another round around 50 spins later, but wasn't as successful as the first, and finished at 40x my bet.

There's also another way into the bonus round through the buy option, which costs around 65x your bet.

Overall, my session had no downsides, and payouts were more than fair. The system is thought-out enough that you actually see and feel the gradual climb of the numbers, both in the features and in the balance.
