Wondrous Garden Slot
Be careful – you are just about to put a step into the garden of secrets, where green is the name of the colour and supernatural is the word most things can be described as.
Wade your way through the thick of preternatural plants, creepers and flowers; meet fairies, sprites, angels and pixies; unearth the secrets of long-lost treasures and quite possibly, take home heaps of gold, diamonds and gems. Yes, all of this is crammed into one slot of wonders – Wondrous Garden by Booming Games!
What’s Different?
One would be justified in inquiring upfront about what it is that sets Wondrous Garden apart from a long streak of fairy-themed slots out there. In fact, every other Irish slot features similar themes (remember Magic Forest by Amatic Industries?), and trust us, there are too many Irish slots already out there.
The answer lies in the way BG has fused the beauty of the theme with its much-touted and successful formula of keeping things simple. That said, we must mention that Wondrous Garden does features its fair share of surprises. We shall dwell on them in due time, but before that – the gameplay!
Enter at Your Own Risk
Many would call it lovely, many would describe it as enticing. But in reality, this garden of wonder is enchanting, and as we all know, not everything that glistens is gold!
So, being wary is the only way forward. To do that, you need to be aware of the gameplay of this slot. There are 5 reels that will host fairies and pixies, while 15 paylines will decide which way your luck will go.
To wager, you just have to follow the instruction on the home screen dashboard. Use the ‘+’ and ‘-’ keys to add to or subtract from the credits you might have put at stake. Combinations and all the permutations are detailed in the paytable that can easily accessed from the dashboard. Other customary buttons like ‘Autoplay’ and ‘Bet Max’ further make wagering a whole lot easier.
The only thing to ponder over that remains now is the payouts. So, let’s go ahead and take a look at the payout potential of Wondrous Garden, shall we?
By the River, Beside the Trees…
It was by the river and beside the trees that eminent poets like Keats found their muses. What you can find in this garden mimicking those traits is much more that – a veritable chance to stumble upon solid treasures buried and forgotten by those who went before you!
Keys to these treasures are to be found through various symbols of this no download slot. Before you build up some expectations, however, we would like to put this explicitly on record that this is a penny slot, and it does not pay out thousands of dollars for meagre bets. The lowest of the low paying symbols are again predictable – card faces!
It becomes readily apparent that the job that these symbols are supposed to do is to merely make up the requisite numbers. Developers could have been a little more imaginative is what we feel – but it is what it is!
The upper echelons of base symbols, however, are much more interesting. A flying boar, a green fairy, a lustrous lotus and an incandescent mushroom. The boar and fairy symbols shell out credits worth up to 5.25 coins. For these two symbols, even two variants are good enough to strike combos. Going a notch up, the lotus and mushroom symbols yield 6.50 units of credit to the lucky spinner.
Life is Special!
Life is indeed special in the Wondrous Garden. It’s not just rhetoric, though. We’ve got two special symbols to justify our claims.
The wild of this slot is played by a beautiful angel who makes life a little easier for players by allowing for substitution of all regular symbols. It can be a big boost in case you get too many half-cooked combinations too many times in a row. The wild also pays out a fat stash of 90 coins for 5-of-its-kind combinations – but be warned, those are quite difficult to come by.
The scatter of this slot is a strange-looking sprite who unlocks free spins (minimum of 3 appearances per spin, anywhere on the screen).
Great for New Players
To say that Wondrous Garden is a real belter of a slot would be a daring overstatement. It would be fairer to state that it is a slot that has its moments, but never really plays out of its skin to come good and rank right at the top. For newcomers, however, it provides a great platform to hone their slot-gaming knowledge and game strategy.
