Snake Rattle & Roll Slot

Snake Rattle & Roll Slot Machine

Hallelujah! At last, a Novomatic game that breaks the mold and keeps us on our toes – could this be a mirage? No, you’re wide awake, which means you’re in for a delightful experience filled with refreshing variance from a brand known for challenging gameplay and limited rewards.

If we seem a bit thrilled, it’s because we are; never before have we encountered a real money slot from this developer that offers such a plethora of features. While the interface may resemble their other titles, the graphics are more polished, and beneath the surface lies a treasure trove. From free games to mini levels to bonuses, the game is packed with excitement. We can’t wait to dive in.

Without further ado, shall we get started? There’s a lot here to explore, and we wouldn’t want to miss out and get bitten by waiting too long. Snakes can be quite unpredictable, you know.

Welcome to the Jungle

Where are snakes typically found, besides pet shops? That’s right, they usually reside in jungles, camouflaged among the foliage, seeking their next prey. While snakes may not always have the most glamorous habitats (even in the UK), Snake Rattle & Roll captures the essence of authenticity and adventure.

Novomatic has maintained their traditional matrix design, featuring a mix of standard symbols like card values along with brand-specific imagery. However, the backdrop behind the 3×5 grid is stunning: a dense cluster of crisp-edged leaves that appear almost tangible. A playful snake pops up in the corners of the screen, challenging you to play, while a 3D snake charmer sits on the right, occasionally moving. This design marks a significant step forward for the brand, infusing a modern style into their slot machines, elevating the game’s sophistication level. A remarkable transformation for an online activity.

Roll the Dice

Although the game has a jungle theme, it draws inspiration from the classic board game Snakes and Ladders, featuring a bonus round based on the original game. Enhanced for a more engaging experience. To trigger this bonus, collect between three and five red dice; the more you collect, the more rolls you earn.

You’ll navigate a virtual board with various prizes, including extra spins and cash, waiting to be claimed. Achieving a “snake eyes” (a roll of two on both dice) on your first throw will prompt the charmer to speed towards the jackpot. While success isn’t guaranteed, watching him make the attempt adds to the excitement.

Slip and Slide

Wild symbols are expected in the gameplay, but here they come with a twist: they slide across the reels. Instead of merely substituting symbols and disappearing, they slide horizontally, transforming icons in their path (excluding dice).

To spice up the feature, the snake charmer may randomly play his flute, introducing additional wilds to the grid and boosting your winnings. While we didn’t witness this during our playthrough, the frequent appearance of sliding wilds is a feature that should be standard in many other slot machines.

Expanding Winlines

While the paylines are fixed, their number varies based on the free games being played. Initially set at 20, the winlines may increase for blue and red free games, offering more winning opportunities.

Yellow spins retain the 20 winlines, while the blue games ramp up to 40, providing additional ways to win. The red games boast a whopping 50 winlines, the highest in the game and ensuring thrilling gameplay.

Rolling on

We thoroughly enjoyed Snake Rattle & Roll, and with good reason. It ticks all the boxes of a top-notch video slot, ensuring players keep coming back for more. Thanks to its high variance, the game’s paytable remains engaging, offering extended playtime (and more chances to win). A firm five out of five stars from us.
