Zodiac Zillions Slot
It has been held firmly by human species for thousands of years that stars, planets and other spatial bodies have a strong hold on the happenings in our life and our planet.
The physics of it all aside, much of this belief stems from curiosity and sense of awe, more than anything else. That’s why, every civilization – from Chinese to Nordic and Indian to Mayan – has devoted a huge chunk of their intellectual resources to understand and formulate astrology. If you are a believer of these things, you will surely be thrilled to know that Ash Gaming offers a fun slot based solely on astrology and zodiac signs.
Want to know what your lucky stars have been up to lately? Wish to see how much in luck you really are? Well, we can only advise you to head straight over to this slot and seek answers yourself!
A worthy sequel
Ash and zodiac are not strangers to each other. Attentive readers would know we had reviewed another zodiac slot by Amatic – ‘Lucky Zodiac’ – not too long ago, and for all practical purposes, Zodiac Zillions can well be regarded as a distant cousin – even a sequel – to Lucky Zodiac.
While Lucky Zodiac was quite rudimentary in the way it treated graphics and overall looks of itself, Zodiac Zillions goes a notch up by sophisticating its interface and smoothening out its symbols.
Sound effects are pretty much as they were in Lucky Zodiac, fitting snugly with the theme and blending in perfectly with the ambiance it aims to create. Once you go into this celestial trance that Zodiac Zillions hopes to generate, there will no stopping you – just make sure that you are on the right side of your fortune!
Leaving it all to the stars
At its very core, slot gaming is all about taking chances, pushing your luck so far back to the wall that the only way it knows to free itself is by coming good and rewarding you with crazy payouts.
Zodiac Zillions fuses this idea of a ‘game of chance’ with luck itself – an irrevocable association to begin with. This creates a great rapport between the cause and effect of this slot, meaning that you might well be coming back to spin these reels, time and again.
Talking of reels, this slot has five of them. All of them are standard reels and they are solidly divided into random portions by 20 stationary paylines. You are allowed to wager up to $10 per line, per spin, thus putting a ceiling of $200 for every spin.
The best part of spinning these reels is that the winnings are all scattered, a rarity for penny slots. This means that if you land up winning combos on multiple paylines in a single spin, you will still be able to take them all home – as opposed to just the largest paying combination. This significantly increases your chances of striking the gold vein here.
This is just the sort of news we are always looking forward to delivering to our readers!
The power of Saturn
Saturn is the scatter-plus-wild symbol here. It plays the conventional role of subbing and replacing regular symbols neatly, and also allows you to unlock a host of bonus rounds and games.
For example, in ‘Comets Bonus’, you will be awarded random multipliers for a winning payline on which at least three Saturn symbols appear. This is over and top of the winning value of the line itself – a cool way to hoard coins.
Another bonus named ‘Crystal Ball Bonus’ offers you a chance to stack and stash coins. It is activated when at least two Crystal Ball symbols appear adjacent to each other anywhere on the screen. Once that happens, a random multiplier will boost your winnings greatly.
If you are not lucky enough to end up winning any of these bonus rounds, you will be automatically led to the ‘Backhand Bonus’ round. Here, you can wager up to half of your total winnings. All you have to do is spin the reels and hope for the worst – yes, you did read that right. If you end up losing in this round, your wagers will be multiplied by a random multiplier.
Written in the stars
Zodiac Zillions takes the gameplay experience many rungs higher in comparison with its predecessor Lucky Zodiac.
It is easy to understand and even easier to master. The best part of the gameplay, however, is the Backhand Bonus, which is an innovative idea that is rarely implemented in any other slot. Indeed you will only usually find this on Ash Gaming slots like Whale of Fortune.
