When people speak of a decade like the 1960s or 1980s they look at the common trends that prevailed over the ten years. Generally the trends revolve around music and life style issues. After World War II in the 1940s the 1950s was a decade of hardship and rebuilding. The 1960s brought joy for the first time after the War and a public statement for desire of love and peace through the hippie movement. This culture is captured in the Rival Gaming i-slot Psychedelic Sixties.

The multi-colored fluorescent background immediately creates the right environment. The male and female hippies are symbols on the reels. The accessories associated with this culture like the love logo, motor bike, flower power, peace sign, tambourine and lava lamp also appear on the reels. All the symbols get animated when in winning combinations and "cool" is the only word to describe them. The background music is the strumming of a guitar. The love logo in the heart is the wild symbol. It appears only in the first three reels but the payouts are multiplied by the number of wilds. The motor bike triggers ten free spins with payouts multiplied five times. During the free spins the love logo becomes an expanding wild. The bus symbol triggers the bonus game, which is a special one given that Psychedelic Sixties is an i-slot. Each bonus round is set in a different city. In each city hitchhikers board the bus and offer the player bonus credits. After the player completes visiting all the cities he is taken to a rock concert and wins more bonus credits.

There are two popular online slot games representing the 1980s. One is again from Rival Gaming and is titled So 80s. The introductory clip shows people engaging in the various types of dances in that decade. Music is very much a part of the theme, but technology makes its presence felt. Audio cassettes appear as payline indicators. In the 80s computer games using joy sticks became very popular. This is represented in the wild symbol, which offers a jackpot payout of 5,000 coins and also acts as a 3x multiplier. The portable stereo is another technological development that represents the 80s. The high value card symbols use fonts that appear on computer consoles. The free spins are triggered by the break dancer. Ten free spins are awarded at tripled payouts.

The second online slot game of the 1980s is from Microgaming and is titled Crazy 80s. It is a simple slot game without any bonus features but with great visual appeal through bold graphics and bright colors. The focus is on the fashion statement of the 80s. The portable stereo is the wild symbol. The highest payouts are offered by the girls wearing an overdose of funky accessories like bangles and broad belts. Other items displayed as symbols include cordless phones, fashion magazines, sun glasses, audio cassettes and cosmetics. The Rubik's cube is a nice touch.

The Rival Gaming software provider period theme online slots Psychedelic Sixties and So 80s are live at online casinos like Ruby Royal and Sloto' Cash. Crazy 80s can be played at Microgaming online casinos like Golden Riviera, River Belle, Platinum Play and Spin Palace.
