Roamin' Gnome Slot Machine
Roamin' Gnome by Amaya Gaming must have been a killer slot when it was first released. However, time has not been kind, and it may be showing its age a bit. Nonetheless, it still garners the attention of many online slots players.
This 5-reel, 30-payline video slot game gives players a chance to travel the world with the adventurous Roamin' Gnome.
Gnomes Aren't Just for Gardens Anymore
Roamin' Gnome features the lovable garden decoration on his treck around the world. On the reels, symbols include the Red Hat Gnome, Planes, Snow Globes, Cameras, Suitcases, Passports, and a variety of stamps that represent international gnomes from the UK, Australia, Russia, Japan, France, and Mexico. In addition, Roamin' Gnome has some wonderful bonus features and jackpots on offer.
Decent Features
Players can win up to 5,000X their line bet with the Red Hat Gnome, turning one spin into a fortune. The Red Hat Gnome is wild and will substitute all other symbols on the reels apart from the scattered Planes to complete winning payouts. Whenever 5 Red Hat Gnomes appear one an active line a 5,000X multiplier will be applied to the line bet.
Expanding wilds can also be triggered by the Roamin' Gnome. This feature will be activated whenever the Roamin' Gnome appears on top of a reel that contains the wild symbol. All positions on that reel will be turned into a wild and all payouts will be evaluated and awarded.
Roamin' Gnome Holiday Feature
Get on a plane and travel the world for a chance to win credits and free spins. Three or more scattered Planes trigger the Roamin’ Gnome Holiday feature. When this feature is activated, you will be presented with a map and be asked to choose 3 destinations. Your chosen destinations will either reveal credits or free spins. All wins are doubled during the Free Spins round. However, the Roamin’ Gnome and the Holiday feature cannot be triggered during the free spins.
Real Money Bets as Low as 0.10 Credits on 1 Payline
Betting levels begin at 0.10 and go up to 5.00. To bet on all 30 lines, the lowest wager will cost you 3.00; while the maximum bet available on Roamin’ Gnomes is 150.00 credits on all lines, per spin. This slot manages to accommodate a big chunk of slots players with various betting budgets in the mid- to high-range.
Summary
The theme and the graphics are pleasant enough, but hardly breathtaking. The Holiday feature doesn’t trigger as much as one might hope, but there are still some decent win possibilities with the Stacked Wilds in the Roamin’ Gnome base play feature. Believe it or not, this is the only online slot based on gnomes, so it gets an A+ for originality. If you like this slot, you may also enjoy some of Novomatic’s slots.
