The Shimmering Woods Slot Review – Play’n Go
It has been nearly a month since my last Play’n Go slot review, which is for the slot ‘The Green Knight‘. This game has a max win of 10,000x and a Free Spins feature with multipliers. Today we are learning all about the studio’s latest announcement. Titled ‘The Shimmering Woods’, set to release March 25th across all sites.
The slot background is set in this mystical landscape, with tall trees with mushrooms growing on the trunk. There are glowing crystals scattered in various colours and leaves falling. I love the unique art style and colour scheme used for the visual aspects.
The Shimmering Woods has a setup of 5 reels by 3 – 6 rows, this includes up to 7,776 pay lines. This slot is high variance with a set RTP of 96.20% and max win capped at 25,000x. You can bet from £0.20 – £100.
The Shimmering Woods Pay Table & Symbols
There are 11 symbols in total, this includes 5 low-paying symbols. These are represented by 10, J, Q, K, and A. There are also 4 premium symbols, these are represented by red, blue, green, and white gems. In addition to these regular symbols is a gem scatter and gem wild. The highest paying symbol is the wild and white gem premium, which both pay 3x for 5 across a pay line. Wilds substitute for all symbols except gem scatters.
The Shimmering Woods Features
The win multiplier increases by 1x for each winning symbol cascade. A random symbol is selected on each spin. When appearing on the reels each matching symbol splits into two.
Landing 3 or more scatter symbols during one base game spin will trigger the Free Spins feature. When all 3 scatters are present there is a chance that 0 – 3 of them will split into two. This will award;
3 Scatters Award = 10 Free Spins And 1 Splitting Symbol.
4 Scatters Award = 13 Free Spins And 2 Splitting Symbols.
5 Scatters Award = 16 Free Spins And 3 Splitting Symbols.
6 Scatters Award = 19 Free Spins And 4 Splitting Symbols.
You can activate up to 10 splitting symbols, retriggers can occur when 3 or more scatters land during a Free Spin. This will award;
3 additional Scatters = 3 Free Spins and 1 extra splitting symbol.
4 additional Scatters = 6 Free Spins and 2 extra splitting symbols.
5 additional Scatters = 9 Free Spins and 3 extra splitting symbols.
6 additional Scatters = 12 Free Spins and 4 extra splitting symbols.
Conclusion
Overall, I think this slot is a very exciting release by Play’n go. With a max win of 25,000x on offer and a Free Spins feature with splitting symbols. Be sure to try out the game for yourself on release. Check out our exclusive casino offers.
