Play Armadillo Artie for Free

Novomatic software have not exactly had the best track record when it comes to graphics. But that is not at all evident on Armadillo Artie. Overall, this online pokie game has a very bright and colourful aspect – using many different colours to grab the player's eye. The designers have also made use of vivacious animations to make the reels come to life whenever a winning sequence is forged while a banjo plays in the background just for good measure. As such, there is rarely a dull moment in Arnie's company.

Armadillo Artie is joined by a number of friends, all of which you will meet as you spin the reels. Before we get to that, let's have a look at the game's basic symbols. These are represented as generic playing card icons which will offer up some small winnings if five of them are found on a payline; J and Q will multiply the line bet by 75x while K and A will multiply the line bet by 100x.

Going up in value you will find a horned skull worth 200x the line bet as well as a possum and a bird worth 250x. There is also a snakey sheriff who will multiply the line bet by 300x and a gopher, which pays out 400x. The games most potentially profitable symbol is the Dash for Cash icon, which offers 500x the value of the bet per line.

This wild west animal caper is also home to two wild symbols – Armadillo Artie and the cactus- both of which will substitute for other game symbols excluding each other and the bonus symbol. The wild Artie symbol will only appear on reel 5 while the wild cactus will only pop up on reel 3. Whenever the two wilds appear on the same row, a special expanding wild game feature will begin called “Wild Shapes”. This will cause the cactus to grow outwards, turning other game symbols into wilds and consequently boosting your chances of getting a win.

There is plenty of bonus action on offer at this slot machine, making it one of the more entertaining Novomatic games out there. To trigger these bonus rounds, players have to find three bonus symbols on reels 2, 3 and 4, after which they will see four different bonus features. Click start and Artie will randomly choose which game to play out of these options:

Each time that you play one of these bonus features you will go back to the original selection game. Allow Artie to choose another bonus round until he selects the Wild West Free Spins, upon which a series of ten free spins are awarded. Enjoy these freebies because once they are complete, the bonus fun will be finished. The “Wild Shapes” feature will be active and there will be more Artie wild symbols available after each free spin – so we're sure you will enjoy it!

This slot machine from Novomatic is a novelty themed game which is jam-packed with bonus action. So, if you are a serious spinner who is looking for some light-hearted fun, perhaps Armadillo Artie will provide you with the adrenaline and excitement that you crave. You can try it in cash mode today at one of the highest reviewed Novomatic stockists Casumo Casino.
