Pragmatic Play Delivers a Nostalgic Throwback With Its New Release Tic Tac Take

New releases are abundant in the online gambling scene right now. With the celebration of St. Patrick’s Day just now dying down, we’re left with a wake of many new slots inspired by the magic of Celtic culture. While there’s plenty to see in this theme, too much of a good thing can get very annoying very fast. Luckily, leading iGaming publisher Pragmatic Play is bringing something different yet familiar to the table. Inspired by the classic pen and paper game Tic-Tac-Toe, the company has released an updated version of this beloved title for the digital age!

The Design

The classic Tic-Tac-Toe game is one most of us are familiar with. The silly pen and paper game was an excellent way to kill some time with friends while waiting for the next best thing to pop up, and it’s one many remember fondly. Since the game has a nostalgic legacy, Pragmatic Play has carefully worked on this new version to keep true to the original. Of course, it’d be silly not to add a bit of glamour to the title, now that it’s moved away from notebooks and into the online gambling space. Thankfully, the line has been treaded lightly, so Tic Tac Take is the perfect combo of the two!

The first thing fans of the pen and paper version will notice is the X and O symbols! These iconic symbols are the core of the game, so they’ve been preserved in all their glory. Of course, the new additions are hard to miss too. These two symbols are joined by multi-colored gems that litter the grid. Of course, the background has received a nice upgrade as well. Instead of basic white, as you’d expect from a blank piece of paper, players are treated to an animated wallpaper reminiscent of dancing soft disco lights!

The Gameplay

Pragmatic Play has done a massive overhaul of the gameplay, considering the game is now a slot. Surprisingly, many of the core elements of its inspiration are still there, making it feel like a modern version of the same concept, instead of a completely new one. To trigger a win, players need to get matching combos across the 5×3 grid. The combinations can start anywhere on the grid, with three matching icons on adjacent reels earning players a reward.

The game might not take things too over the top, but it does include a few fun features to keep players entertained. One of these is the Tic Tac Take Respin feature. If a diagonal, vertical, or horizontal line of X’s or O’s lands, players get a Respin depending on the combo formed! The maximum you can win with this feature is 8. The maximum win players can receive from this slot, in general, is 2,200x their initial bet.
