Swipe and Roll Slot Review
There seems to be a huge trend towards retro-styled slots as of late. We have no doubt that it is because people seem to be getting bored with slots with an overabundance of features. Swipe and Roll from NetEnt certainly has a ‘back to basics’ approach to it.
How to play Swipe and Roll Slot Machine
Swipe and Roll is a 5-reel, 20 payline slot machine. The minimum bet per spin is 20p, with the maximum capping out at £100. This is a medium to high volatility slot, but even then it tends to pay out frequently.
Right off the bat, you can tell that Swipe and Roll is retro-inspired. It is set in an old-fashioned diner, and it just feels like an ‘old’ slot machine. There are no over the top symbols or animations. You have your run of the mill fruits and numbers on the reels, and that is it.
If you are one of those people who seems to be loving more modern video slots, then this game may not be for you. It is certainly erring on the ‘basic’ side in terms of looks. We here at NewSlotSite, we love it anyway. We love games that are very basic in their overall style. We are tired of awful or OTT animations everywhere we look.
The music really helps to complete the feel of the Swipe and Roll slot machine. It feels like the 60s. Well, we assume it feels like the 60s, we weren’t alive then.
Since this is a NetEnt slot, do not expect anything too crazy when it comes to complexity. As with all NetEnt games, this is one which has been designed for newcomers in mind. Sure, some experienced players are likely to get something out of the slot, but don’t expect any sort of play which will stimulate your mind.
Bonus Rounds & In Game Features
For such a ‘basic’ slot machine, NetEnt certainly has managed to put a few features in it. Nothing that you find here has any real complexity to it.
They are all features that you are going to find on other slots, but still, they are nice to have and they can give you some wins. The only real concern is that the game may be a bit too reliant on features, which can lead to long periods where you are not winning any cash.
The first feature is the wild respin. This is one you will be encountering far more often than you may think. With this feature, 3 or more wilds will trigger an automatic respin.
Some of these wilds can be a 3x multiplier, which means that, in theory, you could have a respin with a 27x multiplier in place. This is not something that we have ever had ourselves, but we have hit a 9x multiplier on occasion.
If you trigger the Coin Reel feature (this is completely random), you will be given a scatter, arrow symbol or a cash prize. The arrow will expand the reels giving you more winning opportunities.
The bonus feature is triggered either via the Coin Wheel, or by getting three scatters. You can then spin wheels to get cash prizes and arrow symbols. You can win up to 216x your stake here.
Swipe & Roll Slot Rtp % & Playing Tips
It's fair to say that Swipe & Roll Slot is a ganme for everyone. This slot boasts an Rtp % of 96.35% and is considered a medium variance slot. Nothing too harsh nor boring will happen with this game, it's quite "middle of the road" but has plenty of in-game features including scatters, wilds, re-spin wilds and random rewards to bring in those wins!
Swipe and Roll Mobile Slot Machine
As with all recent NetEnt slots, there is also a mobile version of Swipe and Roll. Unlike many of the games NetEnt has released over the years, they have not opted to create a different mobile version of the game for Swipe and Roll. The game that you play on your desktop computer looks exactly the same as on your mobile device.
That being said, we doubt that there was anything that the company could have cut out of the game anywhere. There are no over the top animations, and considering it is a recent game, it is pretty small in size anyway. It is fun to play, at least.
Summary of Our Swipe& Roll Slot Review
Swipe and Roll is a fantastic slot machine. It does not have a lot going on in it, but it is the type of game that you can sit back and have some mindless fun with. This is a slot that we reckon the team at AGS are going to be playing for a long, long time to come.
