Let’s head to the Aztec empire with SG Gaming’s Spirit of the River slot.  Similar to their Yanaha’s Rite game, Spirit of the River has the same style and design but with an Aztec feel rather than Native American. It has a medium to high variance and RTP just above average at 96.7%.

 

Spirit of the River includes features such as changing reelsets, mystery symbols, scatters, wilds, symbol collection, multipliers and free spins, all set on a 4×6 grid. You can play from 20p up to £50 a spin and the top prize is 5000x your stake

 

Spirit of the River Design

 

The game is set within the lush green Aztec jungle, complete with waterfalls, mountains and lush green trees. To the left of the reels is an Aztec priestess with a large blue headdress, with a floating orb in front of her. To the right is a tower of rocks with 4 carved animal symbols.

 

There are 7 low to medium value symbols, all with a different Aztec design and 3 premium character symbols. These are a female priestess, a chief and a warrior. You’ll also find a scatter and a wild symbol too.

 

Overall, the graphics are good with a bright, fresh feel to the design.

 

Gameplay and Features

 

The scatters are a key element in this slot. When one lands, the stone tower has a segment filled in and you then need to try and fill the tower with segments over your next 20 spins. If you don’t land more scatters to complete the tower, the stone tower empties and you start from scratch. But if you do fill the tower, you’ll win 8 free spins and each free spin has a modifier applied.

 

The Frog gives you mystery symbols which change to the same matching pay symbol.

The Dolphin adds random wilds to the reels.

The Octopus give you a multiplier between 2x and 10x

The Turtle expands the reels up to 8 wide for the remainder of the free spins.

 

This feature can also be retriggered by landing another 4 scatters.

 

Verdict

 

Spirit of the River isn’t the most exciting slot we’ve seen, and if anything, the tranquil, slower-paced gameplay may put some off. However, if you want to sit back and enjoy your time playing, the relaxed pace will appeal to you.
