Snake Slot
Snakes are a bit of a love/hate sort of creature, they’re like the marmite of the animal kingdom, so if they give you the creeps and make you feel all clammy then you might want to give Snake a miss. Though there really is nothing to be afraid of as these scaly critters are only made up of pixels and are safely behind the screen of your laptop or various other devices.
If you think about it, playing might be a great way of conquering your fears, or at the very least could go some way to help you to – handling virtual snakes is almost like doing the real thing as far as we’re concerned.
Spin Fan has created a matrix consisting of 8 paylines and 3 reels that is filled with a lot more than snakes. In fact you’re more likely to find something fluffy and friendlier looking than the actual snake, which this title is named after.
Cartoony and childlike with its innocence, Snake takes us back to a day and age when gaming was so simple and yet still fulfilling, when we didn’t need bells and whistles to make it entertaining. If you’re reading that and thinking that’s all kinds of wrong, then you might find that this online activity isn’t for you and that you’d rather a more detailed and 3D designed video slot.
Hiiiissssss
There is literally only one icon of a snake, and when we first saw it we thought it was a picture of the globe, we kid you not. The reason being is that the snake is wrapped around what looks to be a blue and green apple. Now we don’t know about the rest of you, but we’ve never come across such a strange looking fruit before.
As you’d expect with a game called Snake, the snake is the top value tile, gifting you a return of x80 of what you bet, which means that you could end up with a serious amount of money by the end, even if you make the smallest of punts. What is more, when you’re in the throws of the scatter win rounds, the snake becomes even more valuable and ups the ante to a very desirable x200. Can you imagine a bet of 3 credits being multiplied by that amount? You’d end up with 600 credits!
In regards to all of the other tiles, they’re from the animal kingdom, making it a mismatch of indirectly linked imagery that for all intents and purposes works. Which is lucky because Spin Fan gets a mixed reception from a lot of players at the best of times.
Some of the icons don’t have to be perfectly matched up, which adds yet another layer to this unassuming slot machine. Usually you have to get every elements of the tiles matching otherwise it isn’t classed as a winning combo, but in Snake you can have every single one of the symbols upon your reels and there will be a x15 applied to your kitty. Now this feature, well we like it a lot.
Spitting Money and Not Venom
The betting range is between 64 and 320 coins with a value of 0.01 per coin, which can be set from the two buttons beside the big yellow and red start toggle, indicated by a simple plus and minus logo.
And then you have the autospin option for you to savour, allowing you to put away your mouse and let the system do everything for you, unless you like a hands on experience and then you’ll want to steer well clear of this option.
There really is nothing else to the interface of this game in regards to gameplay; yes there is a help section if you should find yourself struggling, but it doesn’t make a difference to how you bet for nothing about the actual controls are mentioned.
A Snake without Fangs
Snake really hasn’t got any fangs to it. It’s a very subtle and easy going slot machine that doesn’t excite us in any sense of the word. The wins are good, which we wouldn’t want to take away from Spin Fan, but that’s where the good qualities end.
