Hop in Your Delorean and Go Back to the 80s
Total Overdrive is the latest 3-Reel, 5-payline online pokie from BetSoft. The game is a retro take on classic 3-Reel online pokies. From the moment you load the game, you’ll feel like you’ve been transported back to the 1980s.
The background music sounds like it came straight out of an 80s action movie with the backdrop looking a lot like the classic Tron video game. Even the logo looks like your standard 80s TV splash screen.
The game features a solid mix of low and high paying symbols. Four varieties of Bar symbols make up the low paying symbols. Higher paying symbols are bells, diamonds, and cherries. Sevens are the first of two high paying symbols. Three on a payline pays 20x your initial bet. The Triple 7 is the top paying symbol, with three paying 50x your initial bet.
The Wild looks a lot like the logo from the Kids Incorporated TV show and substitutes for all symbols. Get three Wild symbols on a payline and get 50x your initial bet.
This game is perfect for all bankrolls. You can bet from .05 to $5 per spin.
Overdrive Multiplier
Every time that you hit a win, you activate the Overdrive Multiplier. If you win on the next spin, those winnings increase by the multiplier listed. Also, the multiplier goes up by 1. This continues until you lose.
I don’t get too many “That was awesome” moments when testing online pokies. After hitting a streak up to a 10x multiplier on this game, I definitely went “That was awesome.” I was also able to hit multiple streaks where the multiplier reached 4 to 5x.
Total Overdrive Sticky Multiplier
Another randomly activated feature is the Sticky Multiplier. When the Sticky Multiplier is activated, the multiplier stays active for eight spins, even if you don’t win.
Whenever you win, the multiplier goes up. This continues until you reach 8 spins, or until you quit winning. This feature can be re-triggered, thus refilling the hold meter.
Unfortunately, I was unable to trigger this multiplier at any point during testing. However, the Overdrive Multiplier is always available after wins, so this was not a dealbreaker.
Total Overdrive an Awesome Pokie With 96.92% RTP
I’m a fan of old school online pokies, so I was looking forward to testing this game. It did not disappoint. The theme was perfect for a retro-style online pokie and the game provided plenty of opportunities for profit.
While the game doesn’t have free spin games or bonus games like other online pokies, the Overdrive Multiplier and Sticky Multiplier feature both give you a great chance to score a big win.
This game falls somewhere in the middle of low to mid variance and has an awesome RTP of 96.92%. That’s well above what you see at some online casinos in Australia. You’ll find this game available at PlayAmo, Bonza Spins, Pokies Parlour, and any casino offering BetSoft pokies.
If you love classic 3-Reel pokies, the 80s, or are just looking for a pokie with a high RTP, then Total Overdrive is the game for you.
