If you tend to prefer pub Slots, classic games and retro arcade machines to the world of online casinos, fear not - there’s a Slot out there for you. While some providers are creating increasingly high-tech offerings, there are a select few that still appeal to our nostalgic side. Take a look at these "Top 10 Retro Online Slots," all just waiting to boost your bank balance.

10. Western Belles

The final frontier to get the nostalgia treatment is the Wild West, with these saucy dames delivering an excellent take on both the old movies and some more risqué tastes. Available at Guts Casino, this Slot also has plenty of special features to help you make the most of the gold rush.

9. Evangelion

It's official, the '90s are now retro. The styles are back in fashion, everyone loves the Fresh Prince, and a Slot based on this cult Japanese animé is rendered with skill, precision and affection over at 888 Casino.

8. Crazy 7

For those really pining for simplicity, this is as minimal as they come: three reels, three symbols, all sevens. No chance of confusion while playing this game at Bet365 Casino.

7. SafeCracker

SafeCracker was top of the pile of early, innovative, online slots, and it's still available at Slots Heaven. Three reels, one win line, one massive jackpot, and a clever interface in the form of an LCD safe cracking setup attached to a massive vault. Great looking, easy to play, and massive progressive prizes. What more could you want?

6. Reel Rush

A retro-themed Slot without the low-res graphics, Reel Rush appropriates its symbols from classic slots and your favourite 8-bit computer games, and infuses them into a brilliantly simple and addictive online Slot, complete with a familiar background filled with green pipes and mushroom and a thumping 8-bit style soundtrack to get your inner child pumped up.

5. Wonder Woman

While Marvel go high-tech with their slots, DC's Wonder Woman is drawn to look just like the comic. View the authenticity for yourself over at 888 Casino.

4. Rubiks Riches

The console of this Slot looks and sounds like an old fruit machine, but the reels are replaced with (you guessed it) a Rubik's Cube. With multiple ways to win, including the good old-fashioned lighting up of the name for a bonus system, Ladbrokes Casino has found a new lease of life for the famous retro puzzle.

3. Creature from the Black Lagoon

This NetEnt Slot is at the opposite end of the spectrum. It incorporates all the gameplay elements you'd expect from a shiny new online Slot, but still stays true to its roots. There's even a Hollywood style score for a proper B-movie experience.

2. Retro Reels

Another imitation machine, this one all chrome and with no background, Roxy Palace Casino's Retro Reels is a perfect, pared-down version of a mechanical Slot. But there are still the 20 paylines and a nice individual reel re-spin feature to put players in control.

1. Jackpot 6000

Leo Vegas Casino prides itself on mobile, high-tech online Slots. So finding Jackpot 6000 in its repertoire was a surprise. Set in an old-school arcade in front of a classic '80s Slot machine, the reels whirr and land with a satisfying clunk, the machine lights up, the music is tinny, and the only thing missing is the gaggle of players lurking in the background, waiting to swoop in as soon as you stand up.
