Tales of White Snake - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

The story behind Tales of White Snake is rooted in Chinese legend. It is one of four great legends passed down through the ages, although the actual story depends on who is doing the telling. Essentially, it is about a white snake goddess who takes on human form, as does her green snake companion. A young man sees her standing on a bridge in the rain and offers to share his umbrella; however, a jealous older man intervenes, conspiring to keep the lovers apart even when they have a child together. If this seems a vaguely familiar story, the chances are that you have already played the Legend of the White Snake Lady slot from Yggdrasil. Dreamtech has taken a very different approach, as you will see once you launch Tales of White Snake in your browser.

Graphics & soundtrack

We haven’t played many Dreamtech demo slots as yet, but already we are coming to appreciate the software developer’s distinctive style. This is really all about creating an atmosphere, which is one of the first things that stands out when you play Tales of White Snake.

As the game loads, an Oriental scene is depicted in gentle shades of green, showing the bridge where the game’s lovers first meet. The game then opens to show the modern-day bridge, with a succession of passers-by adding extra interest. Bulrushes and lotus flowers surround the reels, which are filled with pastel-coloured symbols that make for a gentle and relaxing game.

The soundtrack to Tales of White Snake is a series of Oriental-themed songs, presumably telling the tale of White Snake and her lover. Although the music is rather lovely, the game’s sounds tend to interfere; luckily, Dreamtech has put individual sound settings into the game’s menu so that you can choose to play with just the backing track, just the game sounds, both or neither, according to your preference.

Tales of White Snake RTP & volatility

The Tales of White Snake slot has an RTP of 97 per cent, which makes this an incredibly appealing game to play. This is well above the average return for an online slot game, giving a house edge of just three per cent; however, before you rush to wager your own money on the game at an online casino, take some time to try the game for free. As a medium volatility slot, it can take some time to start to see any kind of a profit from your spinning session, so you need to be very sure that your bankroll can last the distance.

We recommend setting aside enough funds for a minimum of 100 spins when you play a medium volatility online slot. It can take a long time to generate the free spin bonus in Tales of White Snake, so you need to be very sure that you understand the impact the game can have on a modest gaming budget.

How to play Tales of White Snake

1. The betting window is at the centre of your console, under the reels. Use the + and - buttons to adjust the amount of your stake per spin.

Overall review

There is no denying that Tales of White Snake looks absolutely gorgeous; what’s more, the musical backing helps to raise this game above the average. We really like the generous RTP, which could result in some decent payouts over the course of a gaming session. It is just a shame that there are no other bonus features, such as some multipliers or even a few respins to add some extra interest. Give the game a spin to see what you think - it is such a gentle and peaceful game to play that it is bound to attract a keen audience amongst slots fans.
