Sidewinder Quattro is going to bring the memories flooding back with its retro design, and you can almost feel yourself stood in the arcades during the 80s & 90s feeding your coins into a classic JPM cabinet fruit machine.

The lower paying symbols on the slot certainly stick to that old style bandit theme with cherries, oranges, plums, and grapes offering pays from between 0.4x, and 4x when wins are formed through them. Premium paying symbols comprise of the green seven, red seven, golden seven, and the Sidewinder Logo, where a 5 of a kind win will pay 6x, 10x, 20x, and 50x respectively.

You can get into the action on Sidewinder Quattro for as little as €0.10 a spin, whilst the maximum price of play on the game reaches €400. There are a vast amount of stake sizes that this game can be played at, and this will all depend on how many sets of reels you would like to have in play. We would however note that being able to spin 4 sets of reels on a slot for just €0.40 a spin, does offer some fantastic value for your deposit.

So as we just mentioned in the section about staking options, you can play with up to 4 sets of reels at once on Sidewinder Deluxe. The game will however begin in default mode which is just one standard set of reels where you can select the stake that you would like to play at.

Positioned to the bottom right-hand side of the reels you will see the options of 1, 2, 3, and Quattro. Toggling between these will bring that amount of reel sets into play, with your stake altering accordingly with each level that you increase it by. Below is an example of how that stake structuring works if you were to select €1 as your bet on the default set up.

• 1 Set of Reels = €1 Per Play
• 2 Sets of Reels = €2 Per Play
• 3 Sets of Reels = €3 Per Play
• 4 Sets of Reels = €4 Per Play
  

If you was wondering where this slot got its name from then all is about to be revealed. The sidewinder feature is a neat little trick that the game has up its sleeve, and this can trigger at any time after a losing spin. You don't have to be playing the full amount of reels for this feature to become active either, although the dream scenario is for all 4 sets to be in play when it does trigger. So just how does this feature work?

Once the reels have come to a halt the Sidewinder Quattro logo may begin to flash, when this happens a random amount of reel sets that are in play that have not produced a win will be selected, and the reels will begin to shuffle on them, or indeed sidewind.

After the sidewind has taken place it will rearrange the order of the reels and may form a winning connection. If a win has been formed then the multiplier that is located to the side of that reel set will move up one position, with a top value of 10x up for grabs. The sidewind feature will continue to take place until no further winning connections have been made.

If you would like to try increase any winnings that you achieve further then you can choose to do so through the card gamble. If you correctly guess the next coloured card then you will double your current winnings, whilst successfully guessing the suit of the next card will multiply your winnings by 4.

It's not always about the bright lights and flashing features when you play an online slot, with a vast amount of players enjoying something a little more simple and straightforward, yet that still delivers a high level of entertainment. Sidewinder Quattro is very much that slot and Stakelogic have captured the retro theme superbly whilst also adding a bit of a twist to keep players on their toes.

This is a game that of course isn't going to appeal to everybody, but it would be foolish to dismiss Sidewinder Quattro just because it's not feature heavy. Land based gambling establishments are lined with lo-tech slots like this because quite simply there is a big audience for them, and that is exactly the crowd that Stakelogic are appealing to.
