- A very fun slot based on the popular classic
- Excellent gameplay that turns the slot into a proper game
- Offers up to 1,000x stake payouts in the bonus
Snake Arena slot from Relax Gaming is a fun, new game based on the popular classic. They’ve really gone all out to try and make this slot more like the game than anything else, so let’s take a look and see if it’s worked.
When it comes to the design, I think they’ve done an excellent job. It’s bright and colourful with excellent graphics. You’re set inside the castle and it creates a very dramatic effect. There are 5 reels here with 5 rows offering 30 paylines. You need to get a win from left to right using the base symbols. These are as follows, ranked in ascending order based on their value:
- Grey, Blue, Bronze or Gold Coin (lowest value)
- Pint
- Ham
- Eye
- Crown (highest value)
There are 2 wild symbols as well, the knight and the snake, which are wild and substitute for all other symbols.
Snake Arena Slot Bonuses and Features
Wild Chase Feature. This is a randomly triggered feature which, when active, will turn 1-5 reels into wilds to help you get some extra wins.
Free Spins Bonus. This is the main feature of the game, triggered when you land both the knight and the snakehead. During the bonus, the snake will try to move towards to knight. If it reaches him, it will eat him and thus grow in length. A new spin will then start. The bonus will end if the snake crashes into itself, just like the real game. If, however, the snake fills all positions on reels 2-5, the feature ends and awards you a prize of 1,000x your stake.
Conclusion
Snake Arena slot from Relax Gaming is based on the popular classic game and I have to say they’ve done a great job in make this feel more like a game than a slot. The design and graphics here are excellent, both colourful and playful, but it’s the free spins bonus where things get really fun. That’s because it really does turn into the game itself, with the snake trying to eat the knight. If it crashed into itself, the game is over, but if you fill reels 2-5 with the snake, you’ll get a 1,000x stake reward. It’s a very fun slot, first and foremost, but the payouts are also pretty good as is the RTP at 96.25%. All in all, I think it’s worth it, especially if you enjoy a bit of nostalgia, and you can see some of their other slots here.
