Playtech launches fantasy-themed Raiders of the Hidden Realm this week
Playtech is one of the few casino software providers who, until this week, haven’t really developed a fantasy-themed slot worth of merit. That may be about to change though, with the launch of the Raiders of the Hidden Realm slot this week.
About the slot
Eager to impress, Playtech’s new 5-reel, 40-line slot takes place in an ice-world, although before we start praising the famous casino software developers too much, we must note that their theme is, perhaps, not as original as you might think. After all, Morgana and Strider are almost certainly “pinched” from other famous fantasy-themed novels and myths.
As for the game itself, players will find a Raiders Shuffle feature most exhilarant. The feature is triggered when players land character icons on the two end reels (first and fifth) at the same time. These symbols will turn into substitute symbols and at the same time activate a symbol shuffle, which can rearrange icons bolstering your winning capabilities.
You will also find three free spin bonuses in this game. Naturally, each bonus is tailor-made for a particular character (Morgana, Strider, and rather unusually, Sparks). Trigger the Strider bonus and you can prosper from 6 spins with frozen wilds, whilst Morgana’s bonus offers 8 spins with Morgana symbols turning into big paying icons. Sparks’ bonus is arguably the best, dishing out stacked and single wild multipliers, which can result in multipliers worth between 5x and 25x the normal rate of pay.
Raiders of the Realm officially launches at online casino sites this week and should make for an interesting (if not terribly original) gaming experience for any fan of Playtech slots playing at participating online casino sites.
