Snakebite - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

Step up to the oche and start spinning this darts-themed slot, watched over by a champion of the game. Enjoy Snake Spins, dartboard scatters, trophy wild scatters, and expanding reels as you meet the energetic and gregarious Peter Wright with his colourful mohawk and trophy-winning throw. Will his prize-winning prowess rub off on you and help you to make the most of all that this Play‘n GO game has to offer?

Snakebite Theme and Storyline

What is it with slots with names related to snakes? The Black Mamba slot is about an Italian rock band and this one is about darts! It’s not as random as it may first seem, though, as this game is based around Scottish professional darts player Peter ‘Snakebite’ Wright. The World Darts Champion is renowned for his steady hand and flamboyant style, but will he help you to take your darts game up a notch to prize-winning level?

You spin the reels from the position of a spectator watching a dart’s match. The board looms large ahead and excited fans wave their arms as they support Snakebite on the oche. Your spinning is accompanied by the sounds of the commentator and audience and a fairly bland but unobtrusive soundtrack. The reels themselves are actually quite plain, but there is no doubt who the star of the show is. Wright’s face looms large in a number of different poses. In fact, apart from the standard playing cards and special icons, his face makes up all of the symbols in the game.

Snakebite RTP and Variance

How to Play Snakebite

If you have tried any Play'n GO slots before then the layout of this game may seem quite familiar. If you haven’t, don’t worry, as we’re on-hand to tell you what you need to know.

1. Click on the 3-bar tab to open the main menu. This is where you will find the bet toggles, the autoplay options, the sound and voices settings, left hand mode, the game rules and the paytable.
2. Use the sliding scale to set your bet. The bet bar goes from 0.10 to 100.00 per spin. 
3. No need to think about how many paylines to play as all 10 will be fixed in every game.
4. The autoplay function lets you set the game to play continuously with a pre-set number of spins or criteria, if this is allowed in the area you are playing in.
5. Wins pay out for combinations from left to right.
6. There is a turbo mode to increase the rate of play, or you can hold down the spin button for 1.5 seconds to activate the hyper spin setting. This can make the game feel more exciting due to the speedy spinning but just be aware of how quickly it can make your game balance disappear.

Snakebite Bonus Features

There is a trophy wild scatter that can substitute for other symbols to help you create wins, although it cannot replace the special Snakebite symbol or the dartboard scatters. The dartboards can land on the first, second, third, or fourth reels and special Snakebite symbols can land on the fifth reel. If you land at least two dartboards on the reels you will win a prize. You will get a prize of either 1x, 2x, 5x, or 10x your total bet for each dartboard that lands.

If you land at least 2 of the dartboards and 1 of the special Snakebite symbols you will trigger the slot’s Snake Spins bonus. The reels will grow to become a 5x5 grid and you will get 3 free spins. The dartboards are carried over into the bonus to start you off with some instant wins.

The instant prizes, Peter Pays icons, Snake Snaps, and Golden Darts are the symbols to watch in this game. You can retrigger the bonus and the free spins counter will reset to 3. The wins on offer in the free spins bonus are:

Instant prizes - you can win 1x to 10x your total bet.

Snake Snap - this will repeat the instant prizes on the reels and store the wins on the symbol.

Peter Pays - this will add another fixed win to the instant prizes.

All 3 of these are sticky symbols which means that once they land they will stay on the reels until the Snake Spins bonus ends.

If the Golden Dart icon lands then you can benefit from a multiplier worth up to 10x.

Snakebite Review

This is an entertaining game with plenty of features to keep the excitement rolling along. The makers have done a good job at creating the atmosphere of a high-level darts match and the gameplay doesn’t disappoint - especially if the bonuses make an appearance. The medium-to-high volatility means that they don’t roll around with every spin, but they can be well worth the wait if they do arrive.
