Sidewinder DoubleMax in Demo Mode

It's been four years now since the original game was released. However, the earlier version of Sidewinder was by Stakelogic under the license of Reflex Gaming. Sidewinder DoubleMax is the new sequel which was officially released on 11th January, 2024.

This time it was released by Reflex Gaming in partnership with Yggdrasil. Sidewinder DoubleMax Slot is different from the original game on all fronts and does not have the Quattro feature. Instead, it includes even more exciting features than the original game like the Yggdrasil’s DoubleMax mechanics. Sidewinder DoubleMax Slot is set on a 5x3 reel layout with 20 active paylines. The game has a high variance and an RTP of 95.5%.

This new release comes with multiplier wins, increased paylines, wilds, and is even played on a single board.

It is a classic slot with the characteristic fruit symbols. Reflex Gaming and Yggdrasil did a fantastic job in this game judging from its aesthetics. Despite being a classic game, the graphics are impressive and you'll love the visual effects. Join me as I break down my experience in this Sidewinder DoubleMax Slot review. After reading my review, make sure to try out the demo version of Sidewinder DoubleMax on our website and leave your own review!

I'll mention that Sidewinder DoubleMax Slot is a game you ought to play for fun. The game has a simple strategy which is to get identical symbols on the active paylines. There's a combination of low, medium and high paying symbols in this game. So, if you can get matches like the green, red, and yellow 7s you can get up to 5x your stake. The highest paying symbol is the Sidewinder logo which pays 10x for a match of 5.

Paytable

Like I mentioned earlier, there are several features in this new release worth mentioning:

• Super Wild Symbols: You can only get the Super Wild symbols when the Sidewinder feature is active. You'll receive up to 6 of the Wilds randomly. It usually comes in stacks of three and is similar wild in casino demo slots. You can use it to substitute other paying symbols on the reels. The Wilds will be added to be points on the multiplier trail.

• Sidewinder Feature: This special feature can be activated randomly in the game. It will show up when you make an unsuccessful spin. When the Sidewinder feature is active all the symbols in reels reshuffle. As a result, you'll get a win and then it will reshuffle again for another win. If there are no more winning combos the bonus feature will end. Anytime you get the Sidewinder feature you'll see the multiplier trail which will start at 1x and will increase as you progress. The multiplier will be added to each win you get from the reshuffling.

• Golden Bet: You can receive the Golden Bet option in this game to increase your winning chances. In Sidewinder DoubleMax Slot, the Golden Bet option will increase your bet by 25%. It will also increase your chances of getting the Sidewinder feature.

• Bonus Buy: There's a bonus buy option that allows you to get some of the special features. You can get the Sidewinder feature with 50x your stake.

Below I will mention some of the key features in this Sidewinder DoubleMax slot:

Bet Limit

This game allows you to stake a minimum of $0.20 and a maximum of $100 per spin.

Maximum Payout

In the Sidewinder DoubleMax slot, players can only get a maximum of 5,000x their stake in one spin.

RTP/ Volatility

The RTP is below average at 95.50% despite being a high variance game. You'll stand better chances of winning small payouts than big wins.

Hit Frequency

Based on my experience, the hit frequency of this slot is about 15%, so you can expect an average of one or two wins in every ten spins. Although this seems low, some of these wins would produce bigger payouts and bonus rounds as well.

Here's what my experience was playing the free Sidewinder DoubleMax game. I was given $11,000 to play with so I set my bet at $0.20. I used the autoplay feature to set my first 100 spins as well as my loss and win limit. The payouts were initially very low but as the game progressed my winnings were increasing. Even though I was getting $0.02 payouts, it went up to about $0.24 after some time playing. I also noticed the multiplier trail increasing each time I landed a Wild or Super Wild bonus. The highest payout I received was during this bonus feature. Eventually, I received $17.08 in addition to my $11,000 at the end of 100 spins.
