Ultra Disco (Platipus) – Review & Demo Play

Ultra Disco - Game Overview

I jumped into Ultra Disco from Platipus and it hits that disco mood straight away. It’s a 6‑reel Ultraways slot with 1,024–321,489 ways per spin, released in November 2023. The maths is medium volatility with a 95% RTP, and the max win reaches x9410. Wins tumble via cascades, so chains do happen. The extra horizontal reels above and below add movement to the grid and feed features. It felt quick and tidy across long sessions.

Stakes are listed at 0.40–40 per spin in slot lists, though demo builds also show 0.80–80. Either way, stake steps are fine for testing approaches. I had no issues on mobile, and the controls keep Buy Bonus, paytable, and sound close. If you want disco tempo with modern mechanics, this setup makes sense before you even get to the special bits on those top and bottom reels.

Ultra Disco Symbols and Paytable

The paytable in Ultra Disco uses scaled ladders that fit the Ultraways model. Top symbol sets pay x2 for six of a kind, x1.5 for five, x1 for four, and x0.75 for three. Next groups pay x1.25/x1/x0.75/x0.5. Mid tiers run x1/x0.75/x0.6/x0.4 and x0.75/x0.6/x0.4/x0.3. Lower groups hit x0.6/x0.4/x0.3/x0.2, with the lowest clusters at x0.4/x0.3/x0.2/x0.1. With cascades, these smaller steps can stack across one paid spin.

Specials are straight. Scatters land on the vertical reels and trigger Free Spins. Wilds don’t spin in by themselves; they arrive through the Disco Feature as full‑reel stacks with multipliers. That setup keeps the base grid tidy while giving the feature room to hit. On a hot sequence those stacked wilds can reshape paths across many ways at once, especially when multipliers combine on the same win.

Ultra Disco slot base game

The base game in Ultra Disco runs on six vertical reels with two horizontal reels, one above and one below. Reels 1 and 6 carry 2–7 symbols, while reels 2–5 carry 4–9, counting the horizontal positions. Wins pay left to right across 1,024–321,489 ways. Cascading removes winning symbols so new ones drop, letting a single wager chain more than once. The extra rows also feed Disco symbols that can flip into stacked wilds on the next alignment.

Disco Feature in Ultra Disco

The Disco Feature is the heartbeat in Ultra Disco. Disco symbols only land on the top and bottom horizontal reels. When they line up on the same vertical reel, they unfold to fill that reel with a stacked Wild. The Wild carries a multiplier from 4x to 9x, equal to the number of symbol positions on that reel when it triggered. In the base game, the stacked Wild stays through the current tumble sequence, or until it contributes to a paid combination.

Multipliers apply to all wins that include the stacked Wild. If two or more stacked Wilds take part in the same win, their multipliers multiply together first, then the payout is calculated. This is where Ultraways shines. A reel turning wild with a 7x, joined by another at 6x, can turn modest base symbols into solid returns. It’s not every spin, but when the alignment lands, the maths pairs with the theme in a way that feels spot on.

In practice, I saw the feature land in clusters. A few dead spins, then two reels popped on back to back tumbles. It’s swingy, as multipliers depend on reel heights, but that’s part of the appeal. I view it as the main path to bigger base hits, while the bonus grows it by making wild reels stick. If you chase momentum, this mechanic gives a clear target and keeps the dancefloor feel.

Free Spins Feature in Ultra Disco

Three or more Scatters anywhere on the vertical reels trigger the Free Spins Feature in Ultra Disco. You start with 8 spins for three Scatters, and each extra Scatter on the trigger adds +2. During the bonus, any stacked Wild from the Disco Feature remains sticky until it helps a win or the round ends. Scatters during the round add +2 each time. The stake from the trigger carries over, so the rhythm stays while you chase multiplying wild reels.

Buy Bonus Feature in Ultra Disco

If patience isn’t your style, the Buy Bonus Feature in Ultra Disco lets you purchase entry to Free Spins for 40x your stake. Hit buy, confirm, and the next spin triggers the bonus. Bought features play using the same rules as a natural trigger, with sticky stacked Wilds from the Disco Feature and the same +2 per Scatter. I used it when the base cooled, and it did a tidy job of testing the bonus cycle without a long grind.
