Microgaming Launches Revolutionary Sidewinder Slot

You can always count on Microgaming to shake things up and give them an interesting twist, unheard of before. The iGaming giant has teamed up with Just For the Win and yielded truly unique results...

...What are the results, you ask? They're here and it's a ground-breaking new slot game called Sidewinder with a game-changing new feature of the same name.

Pushing the Envelope

There are many ways to engage a slot player and immerse them into a gameplay, however Sidewinder is going to affect the global slot scene like a morale booster.

The five-reel title has a brand-new feature, after which the entire game is called – Sidewinder. It turns a 243 paylines reel into 1125 paylines by expanding the reel with horizontal wilds, increasing the potential for win to enormous heights...

...It is equipped with the usual arsenal of features, such as extra spins, expanding wilds and so forth, but the Sidewinder can be activated either by wild symbols or extra spins.

The top wild symbol will activate the top horizontal reel, a bottom wild will trigger the bottom reel and so on. If you activate one horizontal reel, you will expand the amount of paylines to 576, and activating both will trigger the maximum of 1125 ways to win.

A Lot Going On

During the base game, landing three Sidewinder symbols will trigger the extra spins mode with six spins. Four symbols will trigger ten spins...

...During the Extra Spins mode, main feature is permanently active. For each designated symbol that lands during the Extra Spins mode, players will earn an additional spin. Expanding wilds are created by the landing the wild symbols on same position on both horizontal reels.

Connect three or more Expanding wilds, and the wins you create can be nothing short of stunning!
