Snakebite Review
Snakebite is a truly exciting 5-reel, 10 payline branded slot that's based on PDC darts World Champion Peter 'Snakebite' Wright. This Play'n GO slot features Instant Prize Wins and a Snake Spins feature that sees the world-famous darts player set up to the oche to win players big money prizes worth up to 6,000x their stake.
Design
If you've ever watched Peter Wright in action then you'll know that this larger than life character dances up to the oche to high-energy hit Don't Stop The Party by Pitbull. Whilst the chart-topping song doesn't feature in this slot (we imagine that would cost a bomb to license!), Play'n GO have added their own dance music that is somewhat similar, and just as catchy. In addition to this, there are fan chants and a commentator that makes reference to what's going on on the reels on practically every notable spin.
In terms of design, this slot is a significant upgrade on Blueprint Gaming slot World Dart's Championship. This feels much more like an official PDC darts slot than the actual branded one, behind the reels is a neon version of the PDC darts stage, in front of that stage are a whole host of raucous darts fans.
Low paying symbols are your standard stylised royal suit, 10, J, Q, K and A. High paying symbols are different coloured dart flights with Peter Wright's face on them. The game's special symbols include a golden trophy in the shape of a W, a darts board and Peter Wright himself.
The game really comes to life when players trigger the Snake Spins feature, a wonderfully realistic 3D version of Peter Wright excitedly jumps onto the screen and does his signature dance across the reels before stepping up to the oche and throwing darts onto the Snake Spins grid.
Gameplay
We've often found that branded slots are simple to play as they often draw in brand new online slots players based on star-power alone... Snakebite is no different. Play'n GO has developed an online slot that has no confusing mechanics, nor does it require any know-how to navigate.
All of the key buttons can be found on an action bar along the bottom of the game screen. This action bar features an info button, a stake selection tool, spin and autospin.
Win Potential
Snakebite is a medium volatility slot that has an RTP of 96.20% and can see players win a maximum of 6,000x their stake. This feature-filled game offers players plenty of opportunities to pick up some decent-sized wins, especially considering scatter symbols offer players an instant payout even if they don't trigger the Snake Spins feature.
Our Verdict
If you're a fan of darts then you're going to absolutely love Snakebite! This is the best darts-themed slot to date in our opinion (not that there are that many to choose from at the moment). There's not a whole lot to talk about in terms of bonus features and mechanics, but the ones this slot does have are awfully fun and proved to be lucrative. Again, if you like darts and you like slots then you're in the right place... So without further ado, let's play darts!
