Night Roller

Theme and Design

A Vegas-Themed Slot That's All About The Dollars!

Load up Night Roller and you are presented with a busy 5×5 grid that is the center of a board game with 20 postions around it. There is a pig (the night roller) on the start line and you are ready to go. The whole reel set floats above a night time Vegas scene and the game is awash with symbols of cash, glitz and glam.

It’s a nice idea but comes across as very hectic and a little too busy for my taste. Its quite hard to see what is going on at times and the sepia-colored game board isn’t pretty. However, if you enjoy staring at stacks of greens, diamonds and rings, then you will enjoy the design of Night Roller.

RTP and Variance

Night Roller has a slightly under average RTP of 95.68%. Whilst that is a little below the benchmark for an online slot game it is still a good return on your wagering and not unusual for a Red Tiger product. This is also a high variance slot so it will blow hot and cold, and more often cold than hot, with volatile payouts. So beware!

Maximum Win

The maximum payout you can achieve on a single spin here is 5,824x. That is not impressive by today’s standards – you can find much better in our list of slots with the highest maximum wins. Red Tiger are not renowned for producing games with huge potential but if you did want something bigger from the same provider you could try Wanted Wildz (15,000x).

Symbols and Paytable

Night Roller plays out on a 5x5 grid with 30 paylines in play at all times. You’ll need to land 3 or more identical symbols across one payline from left to right, starting on the left most reel, to trigger a win.

Browsing the paytable you won’t see any high values, which is a little underwhelming. However, with 30 paylines to win on, in theory your odds of landing a winning spins should be good, and there are also plenty of multipliers as well as a symbol upgrade feature, to help boost the payouts.

The low value symbols are the card suits – clubs, spades, diamonds and hearts. These are worth from 0.1x for 3 clubs up to 0.8x for 5 spades. The premiums are represented by the wallet, piles of cash, bag of cash, ring and diamond.  There are valued at between 0.3x for 3 wallets up to 2.5x for 5 diamonds.

There is also a Wild that substitutes for any other pay symbols to complete paylines and pays out 3x for 5 on a line.

Features and Gameplay

Night Roller has unusual gameplay where features are triggered from the Monopoly-style board game that runs around the edge of the grid. To stand a chance of unlocking one of its features you need to land one of the dice scatter symbols.

That will trigger a roll of the dice to move your pig character around the board. Where he lands will decide if one of the following features is awarded.

If you hit the Wild position then the Life is Golden feature triggers – now with EVERY spin until the next scatter lands you get random wilds added to the reels. This can be very lucrative as I found in testing.

Alternatively, hit the bomb position and launch Bombs Away – where all low paying symbols are exploded off the reels on EVERY spin until you land another scatter.

Or get Multipliers by landing on a multiplier position on the board. Every win will be enhanced by the displayed multiplier until the scatter dice is rolled again.

Or Coin It by landing on a coin position to be awarded with an instant cash prize.

But my favourite feature is the Spin Out one. This is your free spins round where you get 10 free spins with a GUARANTEED dice scatter on EVERY spin. Now, the features unlocked by the dice roll persist until the round ends AND your multipliers accumulate. And what’s more, you can re-trigger the Spin Out to earn 5 more spins.
