Say howdy to Ned, the main character in this slot game. His friends are here too, but… hang on… are they rats?!
Yes, they are, and with that surprise out of the way, you can expect to meet them and find out what’s on offer as you go through the various features in the game. Join us here as we do just that.
The developer revealed…
This is another glorious 3D slot game from the collection held by Betsoft. It’s one of our top choices too.
Make sure you have the demo ready to go
There’s plenty to learn about this game, and the demo version is the ideal place to see it all in action.
This one has an amusing theme
It is about Ned, of course, and the rats he lives with. That’s it – we did say it was amusing, but we can add unusual to that too.
The design is truly awesome
We join Ned in his apartment, where the reels are set into a bookcase along one wall. Ned sits in his armchair and watches progress. There are plenty of neat touches to this one – load it up and you’ll see what we mean.
How to play Ned and His Friends
Five reels appear across that bookcase when the game begins. It’s surprising to find no wild icon here, but there is a lot more to look for, so don’t let that concern you. You don’t get the chance to play for a progressive jackpot though.
Elsewhere, a white rat behaves as the scatter, while there are two other symbols that unlock other parts of the game.
A neat number of paylines
You can place wagers on 30 of them in this game. You can see how they’re laid out in the paytable.
Ned and His Friends does qualify as a penny slot
The cent coin means you can play all the lines from 30 cents a time. With other coins also available, the largest bet is a lot bigger at $150.
VIEW PAYS tells you where the paytable is
Look at the top of the bookcase over on the right – you’ll see the link you need to follow there.
Bonus features to look for
Look out for the symbol that shows a rat disappearing into a hole. If you find at least three of these on the reels, you’ll trigger a Click Me bonus feature. This means you can click on one of the icons bearing the CLICK ME message to see how many credits you’ve won.
The main bonus is the Ratty Rat Do-Wop round. Ned has a girlfriend, and you need to find her three times anywhere in view to get through to this amusing singing-based bonus. When she spots the rats, she faints. You then need to choose which rat you’d like to sing to her to awaken her. Yes, this might just be the strangest bonus round we’ve ever found, but it’s amusing and gives you a chance to score a prize based on the rat’s performance!
Free spins from the white rat
Three scatters take you into this round, where you can enjoy the Singing Rats free spin feature. There is the chance to retrigger them as you go, too.
An uncertain return to player percentage
Very uncertain too, as we have seen figures ranging from 92.15% to 97% for this one.
Our rating for Ned and His Friends
If you like your selected slots to offer an amusing feel, this is the ideal one for you. We’re giving it 9/10 despite it having no wild and no progressive. There is more than enough elsewhere to keep things entertaining.
Ned himself has the best prize potential
You can check on this in the paytable, of course, but five Ned symbols on a paid line will deliver 500x your bet.
This slot game offers bags of entertainment even in the demo
We like to play slots in practice mode first anyway, but you can certainly appreciate the entertainment on offer in this one if you begin like this.
Will you switch over to the real game?
You’ll know for sure once you’ve tried it, right?
Mobile ratty entertainment
The rats and Ned, of course, feature in the mobile version of the slot for players on Android and iOS devices.
