Game Overview
You have to love the creativity some developers use when naming their slots. Reel Kingdom, via Pragmatic Play, has undoubtedly nailed the title of its latest release. It’s so good that if I were ever thinking about opening a Noodle Restaurant, Oodles of Noodles is the name I’d call it. As you’ve probably surmised, a Noodle Restaurant is the theme for this one, although the clientele of this one is a Panda bear that cannot wait to get his paws on the dishes moving past him on a conveyor belt. As you spin the reels of this 5×3 slot with 10 paylines, a 96.58% RTP, and a 5,100x maximum win, there’s a good chance that he and you both get the rewards you’re after.
Aside from the potential of Noodle Dish ingredients lining up to pay combination payouts, not much occurs in the base game. Still, the slot livens up dramatically once the free spins bonus is triggered. The Noodle Dishes on the conveyor belt below the reels can hold cash prizes of up to 2,000x the stake or as many as 15 additional spins, and if the Panda symbol lands on the same spin, you receive all those rewards in one go, and the Panda gets to chow down. Each time that symbol lands during the feature, it expands in size and has its multiplier value increased by 1x up to a maximum of 15x. If he lands on future spins, that multiplier is applied to all the rewards the Panda gobbles up.
Will this slot serve up the delights you’re looking for, or will it make you lose your appetite altogether? The only way to know for sure is to test it out via the Oodles of Noodles slot demo below.
theme, stakes, pays & symbols
Reel Kingdom has plenty of previous regarding restaurant/diner-themed slots, which leads me to believe they’re trying the old adage of ‘the way to our hearts is through the stomach, to win us over. The developer has previously released Big Burger Load It Up With Xtra Cheese and Pizza Pizza Pizza, among others. Pragmatic Play, the partnering provider of this slot, has also dabbled with similar themes, the closest one to this being Running Sushi.
So, what’s on the menu in terms of symbol payouts on Oodles of Noodles? Let’s take a look. The spiciest payout is the 200x the stake return provided by the Chilli when it lands five times across a payline. The Surimi fish cake is next in line, with up to 100x available, while the Avocado and Egg both return up to 50x. The last premiums are the Mushroom and Green leaves, which reward up to 20x and 10x. The Ace, King, Queen, and Jack playing card symbols top out at 10x the stake, too.
Supported stakes on Oodles of Noodles range between €0.10 and €250.00 per spin. There’s a good number of nicely spaced increments within that range, meaning most should have no issue finding an ideal spin bet for their budget.
Base Game & Modifiers
Sat in front of you once you load up the Oodles of Noodles slot is a 5×3 reel configuration that contains 10 fixed paylines. Aside from the Chili symbol, which requires two or more, you’ll need to land three or more matching symbols across one of those paylines to create a winning combination. Those combos must start from the leftmost reel and move along a payline across successive reels to the right.
Ante Bet
The Ante Bet feature, called ‘Tip’ on Oodles of Noodles, costs 50% on top of your current stake and delivers spins with more chance of triggering the free spins bonus game.
Oodles of Noodles slot bonus features
There are no features of note in the base game, but there is a free spins bonus that activates once three or more scatter symbols land in any position on the reels. The number of free spins you receive depends on how many scatters landed on the triggering spin. You’ll receive 10, 15, or 20 in return for 3, 4, or 5 of those scatters, respectively. If only 2 appear on the screen, there is a random chance that up to three additional scatters are added to the reels.
Free Spins Feature
Below each of the reels during the bonus game are Noodle Bowls, which spin in one of the following rewards:
- Instant Cash prizes of between 2x and 2,000x the stake.
- Between 1 and 15 additional free spins.
You’ll only receive those awards when Panda symbols, which only appear during the bonus game, land on the reels. Each time a Panda hits, he scoops up all the awards and expands by one position in size. Each expansion increases the win multiplier of the symbol by 1x. That multiplier, which can increase to a maximum of 15x, applies to all future awards collected from the Noodle Bowls.
Bonus Buy
You can ‘Order Noodles’, which is the name of the buy bonus feature. It costs 100x the current stake and will guarantee at least three scatter symbols on the next spin.
Pros
- Loved the theme and title of Oodles of Noodles.
- An enjoyable and lucrative free spins bonus.
Cons
- The base game lacks features and enjoyment.
Oodles of Noodles Slot Review Final Thought
While the base game usually passes by without incident, the free spins bonus makes up for that by offering the potential to land cash prizes up to 2,000x the stake, additional spins, and an increased win multiplier of up to 12x. Oodles of Noodles is not the most complex of slots and is unlikely to become a classic, but it offers enough in that bonus game to ensure a few of you become fans.
