Side Winder, a classic-themed title from Just For The Win Slots, offers between 243 and 1125 ways to win.
In addition to the three-by-five reel setup, two horizontal reels can become active above and below the base game setup, increasing players’ chances for a big win.
Theme
The team at JFTW takes a fresh look at slot gaming here. By adding additional, horizontal reels to the picture, this two-dimensional slot takes players to another level. Literally.
Gaming symbols include many classics of the slot genre: horseshoes, lucky sevens, golden bells, bar symbols, four-leaf clover, and yellow stars, as well as the four playing cards suits, which act as lower-value symbols. There are three wild symbols: one for the main game, one for the upper set of horizontal reels, and one for the lower set. An icon bearing the game’s name acts as scatter, opening the way to free spins.
The reels are set against a simple purple background, with a soothing piano soundtrack in the background keeping things classy.
Betting Options and Functions
JFTW doesn’t limit its adventurous design to the reel structure in Side Winder… the design team also eschews traditional pay lines, instead awarding wins whenever three or more of the same gaming symbol appears on adjacent reels from left to right. This yields 243 winning ways on the five central reels, which shoots up 567 ways when one horizontal bonus reel is actavted, and all the way to 1125 ways with both extra reels in play.
Bet per spin is set simply from 0.10–100.00 times the betting currency. Autospins are available for up to 100 spins at a time, with optional stops built in for adjustable total loss or single win limits. Payable information, sound options, and detailed game rules are available on separate screens. The overall theoretical return to player ratio is excellent at 96.02%
Features
The scatter symbol is the key to taking wins to the next level in this slot. When two such symbol appear on reels two and four, both horizontal reels are activated, upping both win frequency and volume.
The free spin feature proper is triggered by the appearance of 3 or 4 scatter symbols, respectively awarding 6 and 10 free spins. Both horizontal reels are active throughout the feature. For each scatter symbol that appears on the reels during free spins, another freebie is added to the total, extending the feature. Best of all, if both horizontal reels have a wild symbol in the same position, those wilds connect and expand.
Our Take
JFTW shows its mettle in Side Winder: this slot is simultaneously classic and progressive, succeeding in both arenas while offering impressive features.
Players unfamiliar with this designer should explore the title that made their first big splash on the market, Goldwyn's Fairies

I found this game a bit confusing. However, when you get used to it can amusing. I did not win any money on it, therefore, I have a poorer opinion of it than if I had a big win. Go figure!

Side Winder is a good game to compete with Bonanza. But, I think that Bonanza players won't turn to SideWinder, because Bonaza has much better chance for higher wins. SideWinder is good with overall game quality. But, it still lacks the multipliers and the free spin number is too small too. Added spins is available,...

SideWinder is good with overall game quality. But, it still lacks the multipliers and the free spin number is too small too. Added spins is available, but, it is too small anyway. Good luck.

I have been playing this game lately and I must say it is not my favorite game. I have played it with not many wins then left it and came back but not much happened. I also have found that it can have SO many spins with no pays, it reminds me of Deco Diamonds, no pays for so many, many spins that it got to be so depressing...
I have been playing this game lately and I must say it is not my favorite game. I have played it with not many wins then left it and came back but not much happened. I also have found that it can have SO many spins with no pays, it reminds me of Deco Diamonds, no pays for so many, many spins that it got to be so depressing for me I do not want to play it. I think Deco Diamonds is an incredible looking game and I like it a lot but have had it not pay me so many times that I do not want to go back, it did give me once a great winning streak but since then at all other Casinos it does not pay, causes depression for me so I leave. Improve this, it is not worth it to make a game that does this, unfair to players, Side-Winder is just like the Deco Diamonds it does the same thing so I don't play it, it GOBBLES UP MY MONEY.

I must admit JFTW outdid themselves this time, this game is awesome. The game has a small similarity with BTG's Bonanza but slightly improved features. I like the 'side winders', they gave an extra kick in the gameplay. It is a great game and I do recommend you all to try this one. The reels move very smoothly, just like...

Well done guys, you have my attention with this one.
