Brick Snake 2000 is a nostalgic online slot game developed by Nolimit City, paying homage to the iconic Snake game popularized on Nokia mobile phones in the late 1990s. The game features a 5×5 grid set within a cracked “Nokyou” phone screen, creating a pixelated, retro aesthetic that captures the essence of the Y2K era.
The symbol set reflects the time period, with low-paying symbols including a SIM card, power drill, CD, and Tamagotchi. Higher-value symbols are represented by quirky character designs: a green creature, blue dog, purple cat, and a bespectacled male figure. Landing five of a kind for these symbols pays between 0.25x to 2x the bet, depending on the symbol.
The game's Wild symbol is a green snake with the text “Snake,” which functions as the Moving Wild Snek. When it lands on the reels during the base game, it can move 1 to 5 steps in any direction, transforming the positions it passes into additional Wilds. The Scatter symbol is depicted as a grey letter with a red “S,” with three or more triggering the bonus features.
Brick Snake 2000 incorporates several innovative features:
- xWays: This mystery symbol, represented by a yellow floppy disk, can appear on any reel during the base game. It reveals a paying symbol with an attached multiplier of 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, or 8110x. If multiple xWays symbols land, they all reveal the same symbol type.
- Moving Wild Snek: The Wild Snek can move 1-5 steps in any direction, creating a trail of Wild symbols. If it moves over an xWays symbol, it transforms into a Wild of the corresponding size.
- Snek Spins: Triggered by landing 3 or 4 scatter symbols. The bonus game is played on a grid without regular pay symbols, featuring special elements:
- Snek: Moves around the grid, collecting prizes.
- Coins: Offer values between 1x to 100x the bet.
- Multipliers: Increase the coin values.
- Egg: Spawns a new Snek head.
- Slayer: Sticky symbols that can end a Snek's progress.
- Upgrade: Transforms Snek Spins into Super Snek Spins.
- MaxWin: Awards the maximum win of 8,110x the bet.
- Super Snek Spins: Triggered by landing 5 scatter symbols or through an upgrade. This feature includes all elements of Snek Spins plus the Collector 2000 symbol, which accumulates and awards coin values.
- Boosted xBet: For an additional 5% of the bet, this feature guarantees a scatter symbol on the second reel and disables the bottom row during the base game.
- Feature Buy: Players can purchase direct entry into the bonus features, including a “God Mode” option for a chance at the maximum win.
- Double or Nothing: Upon achieving the maximum win of 8,110x, players can opt to double their winnings to 16,220x or risk losing everything.
A particularly interesting aspect of Brick Snake 2000 is its “God Mode Deluxe” feature buy option. For a staggering 8,360x the bet, players can activate a guaranteed attempt at the maximum win, followed by a mandatory Double or Nothing gamble. This high-stakes feature exemplifies Nolimit City's approach to creating slots with extreme volatility and potential for massive wins.
