Roll ‘Em Roll ‘Em Slots
We all love the excitement of slots games, but have you ever played Craps? It’s arguably the most thrilling of all classic table games and if you’re at a casino and hear lots of shouting and cheering, it’s more than likely that the noise is coming from the Craps tables. The Roll ‘Em Roll ‘Em video slot from Sigma Gaming is an ingenious fusion of slots and Craps that has all the excitement of landing lines of winning symbols across reels, plus the dice-rolling action of this fantastic table game.
We won’t go into the details of how to play Craps, because it can be a fairly complicated game, which is part of the appeal. If you don’t know already, it’s a dice game where the numbers rolled on two dice determines what you win when you have a bet on the right part of the table. We assume you know how to play slots games, and Roll ’Em Roll ‘Em is in some ways a conventional slot machine, with five reels and 20 paylines. You win by landing matching symbols across a line and it comes with a few commonly-seen extras such as a wild symbol, gamble feature and free spins round. But there’s some totally unique features to enjoy as well, including several ways to win from throwing virtual dice in some bonus rounds that are just as gripping as a real Craps game.
Roll ‘Em Roll ‘Em is one of the innovative games from the studios of Sigma Gaming. Based in Yorkshire, England, Sigma Gaming also work with a number of the biggest online casino game developers in the business, such as Leander Games, Pariplay and the hugely popular Microgaming company. They’ve used this experience to bring out unique games, all of which are mobile optimised and all guaranteed to be fair and trusted.
A Roll of the dice
The background image to this game is a crowd of happy gamblers surrounding a Craps table. The main part of the game is presented in a dark green colour that’s designed to look a little like the surface of the table itself. Instead of the multiple betting areas, we have playing card symbols, each styled to resemble dice, a sophisticated-looking woman in sunglasses and holding a glass of Champagne, plus the game logo. This is the joint-highest paying symbol, returning 50x the line stake when it stops on reels one, two and three across a payline, with four in a row being worth 150x and there’s a prize of 250x to cash out when it stops right across the reels.
An image of four dice pays the same, but it’s also a wild symbol that could have you rolling in extra winnings when it stops in the right places to substitute for others and complete combinations. It won’t be able to act as the Craps table bonus symbol though, as any three, four, or five of this in any places, will trigger the Lucky Roll features.
You could be in with the chance of improved odds after any spin, thanks to yet another unique element to Roll ‘Em Roll ‘Em. Underneath the reels you will see a red dice which spins on its axis each time the reels spin. If it rolls a 6, a fourth row of symbols will be added to the reels and 40 paylines will be in play on the next spin. You still only bet on 20 lines, so there’s lots more chances to claim wins in this spin.
Rolling in Features
The Lucky Roll bonus feature is a simple roll of a dice on a Craps table, but it takes you through to one of six mini-games depending on what the outcome of the roll is. Roll a 1 to play a Hi Lo game that has two dice next to a series of multipliers on a ladder. You can either collect the multiplier at the bottom of the ladder right away, or gamble it on rolls of the dice, predicting if the next roll will be higher or lower than the numbers currently shown. Keep going until you decide to collect the win, reach the top of the ladder, or make a wrong guess and lose the round.
Roll ‘Em and Pick sees a red and blue dice which roll to highlight a number of free spins and a multiplier that will be attached to any wins during them. You can then click one of the dice to try and improve the offer, after which the free games will play out automatically on a three-reel, three-line slot that only has the playing card symbols on it. The Roll ’Em Roll ’Em mini-game awards bet multipliers based on the results of dice rolls. Keep going until you roll a 7, which pays the top wins and ends the round.
Hold ‘Em and Roll ‘Em somehow manages to combine Poker in a slot game themed around Craps. It’s quite an achievement and has you rolling five dice with playing card symbols on them. With each roll, the best dice to form a Poker hand will be held and you keep rolling the rest until you get a winning hand, with Five of a Kind paying out 50x the total bet.
Very few slot machines have so many features, and we haven’t even got to the best part yet. Once the mini-game is over, you return to the Lucky Roll table. One or more numbers will show ‘Collect’, which means the corresponding mini-game isn’t available, while other numbers are still in view. You get to roll the dice again, to potentially play more mini-games, or the same ones depending on the result of the roll. It adds up to a slot that’s packed with features, each of which is unique, and which must have had the developers at Sigma Gaming working overtime.
Dicing with Different Betting Options
Skip the offer of free Roll ‘Em Roll ‘Em video slots, as there’s no way to collect real cash from these features in freeplay mode. You will need to stake 1.00 per spin and to land higher win multipliers, you can raise you wager to suit your bankroll, to a high limit of 1,000.00 per spin.
Up to 100 Autoplay spins can be chosen, which gives you the chance to sit back and let the game do the hard work, although they stop whenever a feature is triggered. You can also set win or loss limits before setting the reels off in Autoplay mode. The only other option is to decide what device you want to play on, with desktop PC’s, Android, Windows, iPhones and iPad tablet computers all supported.
A Thrilling Gaming with no Crap
You won’t really need to understand the complexities of Craps to enjoy Roll ‘Em Roll ‘Em, as it’s an easy to play video slot that just happens to come with some exceptional bonus rounds. If you can read the numbers on a dice that’s about all you will need.
All of the rounds entered via the Lucky Roll feature are fun, exciting and potentially very rewarding, and by having the chance to play several mini-games, you could be rolling those dice over and over before the features end. All that’s missing is an excited crowd of onlookers.
