INTRODUCTION
A genuine combination of an old-school slot machine and a modern video slot is coming your way and it is called Sidewinder. The 2018 release is the latest Just For The Win product and it features a 3-5-5-5-3 reel formation, offering from 243 up to 1,125 ways to win. Three types of Wilds and two horizontal reels will get you the Sidewinder feature, while three or more Sidewinder Scatters trigger the Free Spins feature, which comes with two horizontal reels that may activate Expanding Wilds and is played with 1,125 ways to win.
HOW TO PLAY SIDEWINDER
The theme of the Just For The Win title is classic, hence the symbols used are very old school. Red Lucky Sevens will get you the most and are followed by Golden Bells, Silver Horseshoes, Emerald Clovers and Bar symbols. Card suits represent low-value icons.
There are three types of Wilds – Regular Wild, Top Wild and Bottom Wild, but there are also Expanding Wilds, which only appear during the Free Spins feature. All Wilds will substitute for all regular symbols on the reels. Freebies are triggered with the little help of Sidewinder Scatters.
As we already mentioned, the 2018 release features a bit peculiar3-5-5-5-3 formation, with five vertical reels and two horizontal reels, which expand the reel grid. During the base game, players will play with 243 ways to win, but, once the two horizontal reels are activated, gamers will play with up to 1,125 ways to win.
Three of a kind is the minimum for landing payouts and spinners need to land at least three matching symbols on successive reels, beginning from the far left reel. Betting starts at $0.10 and the biggest possible wager cannot go over $100 per spin.
PAYOUTS
It is obvious that gamers can expect big payouts during the Free Spins feature because this is when spinners get 1,125 ways to win and lots of possible Wilds. Also, big wins can be expected during the Sidewinder feature. Lucky Sevens pay the most, offering 8 times the bet for five of a kind. The Bell pays 7 times the bet for the maximum combo. Sidewinder’s RTP is 96.02%.
what we like
- Up to 1,125 ways to win available
- Three types of Wilds and expanding Wilds in free spins
- Playable across all devices
what we don’t like
- Symbols don’t pay much
- Generic card suits
SIDEWINDER (JFTW): CASINOBLOKE’S VERDICT
To be completely honest, we were not impressed with the Just For The Win title. Frankly, we expected more. The 2018 release houses crisp graphics and a futuristic soundtrack and offers a couple of interesting additional features, but that is not enough, at least for us. Symbols don’t pay that much and you will not play with all 1,125 ways to win that often. The Free Spins feature takes forever to be triggered and the game can really suck your balance dry in a short period of time if you are not paying attention. This will definitely not be our first pick from the 2018 slot releases.
