Oodles of Noodles Slot Review

Oodles of Noodles Slot Overview

The Oodles of Noodles slot from Reel Kingdom is a light hearted, high volatility video slot on a 5 reel, 3 row grid with 10 fixed paylines. The action is set in a cosy Asian ramen bar with a conveyor belt of dishes and a rocking panda beside the reels. I like how simple the setup is, yet it can still hit wins above 5,000 times stake thanks to the stacked premium symbols and the bonus round.

In the base game Oodles of Noodles sticks to line wins and scatters only. There are no wild symbols at all, which makes the free spins feature even more important. Bets start at 0.10 per spin and go up to 250 in the base game, or 375 when the ante bet is active. I found the base play quite slow at times, but the chunky symbol values keep it interesting.

Symbols and Paytable in Oodles of Noodles

Oodles of Noodles uses ten regular symbols, split between food icons and stylised royals. J, Q, K and A are the low pays, offering up to 10 times your stake for five of a kind on a line. Above them sit pak choi, mushrooms, eggs, avocados, fortune cookies or fish cakes, and the top paying chilli, which can hit from just two on a payline and awards up to 200 times stake.

All symbol wins in Oodles of Noodles pay from the leftmost reel across, on one of the 10 active lines, and wins are multiplied by the total bet. The noodle bowl scatter acts only as a trigger for the bonus, so there is no direct scatter payout. I like the way the paytable leans on strong premium values, which helps offset the lack of wilds and the long gaps between bigger hits.

How to Play Oodles of Noodles Slot

To play Oodles of Noodles I first pick a stake between 0.10 and 250, or up to 375 if I plan to use the ante bet. The 5 by 3 grid spins with 10 fixed paylines, so I only change the bet level. A win needs at least three matching symbols on a line from the left reel, except chilli which pays from two. Autoplay, quickspin and turbo options make longer sessions easier.

Bonus Features in Oodles of Noodles

The main action in Oodles of Noodles comes from the free spins bonus. Landing 3, 4 or 5 noodle dish scatters awards 10, 15 or 20 spins. If only two scatters appear, there is a chance the game drops 1 to 3 extra scatters in random spots to complete the trigger. During free spins five noodle bowls sit under the reels, each showing either a cash prize or extra spin award.

The panda symbol only appears in Oodles of Noodles during free spins, and this is where things can get spicy. When the panda lands it collects every prize from all five bowls, not just the one below it. After each hit the panda grows by one cell on the reels, up to 15 cells, and future cash prizes are multiplied by the number of panda cells on screen when it lands.

Oodles of Noodles also offers an ante bet and a bonus buy, which change how fast you see free spins. By raising the bet multiplier from 10x to 15x you activate the extra bet, paying half again on top of your stake for a higher scatter rate. If I get impatient, I sometimes pay 100 times my current bet to buy free spins directly and skip the grind in the base game.

Oodles of Noodles RTP, Volatility and Wins

Oodles of Noodles runs on high volatility maths, with a default return to player of 96.58 percent. There are lower versions at 95.56 percent and 94.55 percent, so I always check the info panel. The stated hit rate is about one win in 6.69 spins, while free spins trigger on average once in 124.95 paid spins. The max win is 5,100 times stake, expected roughly once in 540,833 spins.

With bets starting at 0.10 and rising to 250, or 375 with the ante bet, Oodles of Noodles suits small test sessions and heavier play. The swings can be steep though, as much of the value sits in the bonus. I often watch my balance drift for long stretches before a hot free spins round lands, so I treat this slot as a high risk, high reward option.

Oodles of Noodles Slot Verdict

After plenty of sessions on Oodles of Noodles I see it as a charming but swingy slot that lives and dies by its panda. The base game feels plain without wilds or modifiers, yet the high paying food symbols and strong stats keep me coming back. When the panda turns up early in free spins and keeps growing, the noodle bowls can throw out absurd wins that make all the waiting worthwhile.
