All about Gridders

Would you like to try a completely different slot machine than the one you're used to? And would you like to play a game where you can use more tactics? Then you've come to the right place!

At Casino777, we have a fun fresh game category for our players to explore: Knights. There's a good chance you don't know this term and haven't played a Gridders slot before, as it's a completely new type of casino game. Ideal for when you fancy a slot experience, but don't mind taking a break from spinning reels. Because Gridders works just a little differently!

Gridders games are an invention of Gaming1. This game provider never sits still and once again shows off their most innovative side. Are you curious and want to know how it works? Then read on, because we will tell you everything you need to know, such as what Gridders is, how to play it, how to win and which Gridders games you can already play.

What is Gridders?

Gridders is a new variant of slot machines, also known as slots or slot machines. If you are a slot lover, you always have a lot to choose from. There are games with different themes, features and bonus rounds. But Gridders works completely differently from the slots you already know. For instance, you have no reels and there are no spins, but you still have symbols to match. How it works. In a nutshell, it comes down to this:

  • You play with four small grids
  • You get a row of three symbols every time you press 'Start'
  • You can choose where to place this row yourself
  • You fill in the grids from left to right

The idea behind Gridders is that you can have more influence on the game by being able to decide where symbols will be placed. You play with four three-by-three grids and can choose where to place the symbols. Because you have more choice, the game takes on a completely different dynamic.

How do you play Gridders games?

Did it still go a little too fast? Don't worry, we'll explain it in detail. Instead of one grid, in Gridders games you have four 3x3 grids at the bottom of your screen. Just like regular slot machines, you have to form combinations on horizontal or vertical lines.

Just as you normally press the spin button, you now press the Start button. A row of three symbols will appear at the top of the screen, and if you press 'Start' again, they will automatically appear at a random spot on a random grid.

But as we just mentioned, there is another option! And this is what makes Gridders games unique. You can also choose to place the three symbols yourself. Just click on a spot on one of the grids, and voila: the row of symbols is now permanently in this spot. This gives you just a bit more control over the game than with a regular slot. You can only fill in the grids from left to right, though.

Your own pace and strategy

You also play at your own pace and can take your time to think about the smartest move. You can place your moves strategically and make sure you place the same kind of symbols together, if you have them available. Handy isn't it?

Of course, you remain dependent on the symbols assigned to you by the algorithm, which means it remains a game of chance. But you as a player are more actively involved in the game than in a slot with reels, and that's what makes Gridders such a fun variation on the familiar concept. It makes for an entertaining gaming experience.

How do winnings work in Gridders?

As with regular slot machines, there is a pay table in the game that shows how much the symbols are worth. This is usually at the top of the screen. And as usual, you win based on paylines. So far it sounds familiar, but there are some differences. You only get paid the highest wins on the grids, and there are some additional bonus rules that can work in your favour.

By making combinations, you earn points, and based on a number of points, you get a payout. And do you manage to score a win on three different grids? Then your win is multiplied by 1.5x. If you win on all four grids, your winnings are multiplied by 2x. If you manage to fill a grid with 9 of the same symbols, you win 200 extra points. With each grid, the total number of points is shown above it, and the final total of the points of all the grids together is shown under 'Total points'.

Which Gridders games can I play?

There are currently eight Gridders games available to play. You can play them all in our Gridders category. You can have fun with the following Gridders games:

  • Take it or Not - Gridders
  • Rapid Rush - Knights
  • Mystery Arena - Knights
  • Lightning God - Knights
  • Fakir - Knights
  • Diamond Glint - Knights
  • Fortune Spinner - Knights of Knights
  • Crack the Safe - Knights

  • Most of these are based on pre-existing slots you may already be familiar with, such as Fakir, Fortune Spinner, Take it or Not and Lightning God. That way, you can explore the new game rules with a familiar theme and features and have the best of both worlds.

    Some games have a tutorial version that introduce you to the game, so you can practice for a while before getting into the real version. Keep an eye on our Knights category, as it could always be updated with new fun games in the future.

What bonus features and bonus games do Gridders games have?

Just like regular slots, Gridders games also have extra rounds and features that give you a chance to win more. Most bonus rounds are activated with three scatters or more and you can only activate one bonus round per grid.

Many bonus features you'll recognise from slot machines, which means you're partly entering familiar territory. For instance, Fakir: Knights has a Mystery wheel feature and you can win a jackpot. In Take it or Not, you can accept or decline a bonus just like the regular variant. There are some familiar features, but also some very new ones.

  • Wilds
  • Multipliers,
  • 9Alike feature
  • Mystery games

The 9Alike is one of the new features, and we just discussed it. If you fill all nine spots on a grid with the same symbols, you get 200 extra points. Another bonus feature are Mystery games, aka Mystery games. We will discuss these separately.

Mystery games in Gridders

Mystery games are bonus rounds in which it is possible to win the ultimate high win, even if your number of points is nowhere near that. You can win up to 100x your stake in a Mystery game. It doesn't matter how many points you have in the basic game.

The number of points you earn in these games will appear on the Mystery counter, also at the top of the screen. This is what you play with in the next round, for the same bet value you were playing with when you won the Mystery round.

Other facts about Gridders games

Gridders are casino games that you play with real money, and you need to have an amount of money in your account to play them. As with regular slot machines, you can set a certain bet per spin. The bet in these games is between 0.25 euros and 100 euros, and the maximum win is 100x your bet. In the Mystery games, you get a chance to win these.

The volatility of these games is two out of five, giving them a relatively low volatility. This means you can score wins relatively often, but these are usually relatively low wins. The RTP, aka payout percentage, is around 96%, with 2% earmarked for jackpots. This is an excellent average payout percentage for slots.The symbols in Gridders games are all symbols that you would normally also see passing by on the reels, such as card symbols, stars, BARS and sevens.
