City of Sound (Play’n GO) – Review & Demo Play

City of Sound: Slot Overview

I went into City of Sound expecting a Britpop rush. The scene is a British suburb, rain fading and a faint rainbow over a red brick house. The 5x3 grid runs across 25 paylines, stakes from 0.05 to 100. It is a medium volatile release with a top RTP setting of 96.3% and a max exposure of 4,000x. The theme lands, yet the gameplay feels recycled from another slot launched earlier in 2025, so the thrills lean on features rather than base game flow.

City of Sound Slot Information

City of Sound uses 5 reels, 3 rows, and 25 paylines, paying left to right from the leftmost reel. Bets span 0.05 to 100 per spin. RTP is configuration based: 96.30% by default, with 94.31%, 91.30%, 87.30%, and 84.30% also present depending on operator. Variance is medium, and I clocked a base hit rate close to the stated 35.97% during sessions. The interface looks like an old-school console and runs fine on mobile, tablet, and desktop.

City of Sound Symbols and Paytable

The paytable splits into lows and premiums. J, Q, K, A return 2x the bet for five. Microphone, tambourine, sunglasses, and a bucket hat deliver 8x to 20x for a complete line. Wilds show a pair of musicians, pay 20x for 5-of-a-kind, and can land sized 1x1, 1x2, or 1x3 to help stretch lines across the grid. Scatters appear as a guitar with a Union Jack, while Gold Records act as instant cash symbols that feed the hold-and-win style action.

City of Sound: Slot Features

Gold Re-Spins fire when 6 Gold Records land. You get 3 re-spins, and only Gold Records or the Gold Record Case can appear. Any fresh record resets the counter to 3, and records stick until the end. Each record shows a random 1x to 1,000x value. Fill the entire 5x3 and a 1,000x Golden Prize lands on top of all visible values. The Gold Record Case pays the total of all records in view. During re-spins, the Case does not stick but still resets the count.

Three scatters on reels 1, 3, and 5 award 5 Mega Free Spins. On every spin, a 3x3 Mega symbol lands at a random position. The round can retrigger via a Mega Scatter up to a cap of 45 spins. If the Mega symbol arrives as a Mega Gold Record, it breaks into 9 Gold Records with random values and can kick off Gold Re-Spins mid feature. The big tile adds swing to a round that otherwise mirrors the base game pace.

If Gold Records land without triggering re-spins and no Case is present, they get collected above the grid in the Gold Record Stack. When that happens, there is a chance the Stack pays a Win Prize up to 100x. The trigger chance is not tied to how many records have been stored, so it stays a side roll rather than a meter you grind. I found it breaks up flat patches and pairs well with the coin-led rhythm.

City of Sound: Slot Verdict

After clocking the remake angle, my early buzz faded into a damp squib. The suburban Britpop dressing hits a note, yet the engine plays it safe, leaving most of the excitement to instant cash symbols and the 3x3 cameo in free spins. The 4,000x headline looks tidy, though I’d take that with a grain of salt. Over time, the hold-and-win loop does the heavy lifting, while line wins feel secondary unless stretched by the taller wilds.

I kept chasing Mega Free Spins for that roaming tile and snapped at re-spins whenever six coins teased the grid. It’s okay at best: clean, steady, and familiar. Players who favour a mid-range ride with frequent teases and the odd recorded burst may find it fits. For me, City of Sound feels like an opening band. The set isn’t bad, but I walked away humming the feature names rather than any hook from the base game.
