The latest slot machine to go live at Microgaming online casinos is Sidewinder. You can play it at All Slots, Euro Palace and Royal Vegas. Sidewinder is available on all platforms, which include desktops and mobile devices. The simple retro symbols and the slick movement of the reels make Sidewinder especially attractive for smartphones. This slot game has been developed exclusively for Microgaming by Just For The Win.

The basic structure of Sidewinder is 5 reels and 3 rows of symbols resulting in 243 ways to win. The retro symbols are 7s, bells, horseshoes, four leaf clovers and bar. The low paying symbols are diamond, club, heart, spade and star. There is a regular wild symbol that does not award payouts, but only substitutes to make winning combinations. However, these do not appear on normal spins. The maximum payout is 8 times the total bet for five 7s.

Sidewinder slot machine has two horizontal reels. One spans the three middle vertical reels at the top. The other does the same at the bottom. Normally these horizontal reels are inactive and are filled with arrows floating like a school of fish. When a Top Wild Symbol appears on reel 2 then it activates the top horizontal reel. That reel will spin converting the slot machine to 576 ways to win. One or more wild symbols will appear on this reel and payouts will be awarded after this. Similarly, a Bottom Wild Symbol on reel 4 will activate the bottom horizontal reel. It is possible to get the Top Wild Symbol and the Bottom Wild Symbol on the reels in the same spin. Then both the horizontal reels will be activated at the same time giving 1125 ways to win.

The free spins feature is activated by landing the Sidewinder logo on reels 2 and 4. Collecting three or four Sidewinder logos trigger 6 or 10 free spins respectively. During the feature, both top and bottom horizontal reels are automatically active and spin simultaneously with the main reels. Apart from the regular wild symbols, the Sidewinder symbols will appear only in the horizontal reels. If the top and the bottom horizontal reels display regular wilds in identical positions, a new development takes place. These two wilds connect and turn the entire reel into wild symbols. Every Sidewinder logo landing on any horizontal reel will generate one extra free spin.
