Shangri La is an exotic game with a peaceful theme. The background scene includes a blue lake with waterfalls, a temple set in a lush green forest, and a clear sky with shadowy mountains in the background. The reels are set into a screen with a gold surround encrusted with coloured gems.
The symbols themselves include 3D images of exotic animals, including a rhino, elephant and tiger, a temple, gold amulet, pink flower, metal curved sword, an female adventurer wearing snakeskin leggings, four colourful bonus symbols, and 3D card suit symbols to award the lower payouts.
Exploring the Exotic Payouts
While playing Shangri La you can expect some decent payouts. The highest-paying symbol is the scatter which is the gold amulet. This symbol awards up to 3000x your bet if you find 5 at once anywhere on the reels. This golden symbol also awards the four different bonus games, so keep your eyes peeled!
The second-best symbol is the tiger, which awards up to 500x your bet for 5 matching symbols, while the rhino awards up to 250x your bet for 5 matching symbols. The elephant and the temple both pay up to 150x your bet for 5 symbols, and the pink flower pays up to 100x your bet for 5 matching symbols. The curved sword, the pink heart and purple diamond all pay up to 80x your bet for 5 symbols and the blue club and green spade both pay up to 60x your bet for 5 matching symbols.
Expanded Wilds and Scatter Bonuses
The adventurer is the wild symbol in the game and she can appear on reels 2, 3 and 4. This icon stands in for all the other symbols except the scatter to create more potential winning combinations. When the adventurer symbol stands in to create a payout, the prize is doubled, plus there is also the chance that additional wilds will be added to the reel during any spin for extra chances to hit a winning combination of symbols. Sometimes the wild symbol expands to fill the entire reel for even more possible wins.
There is a chance that more gold amulet scatters will be added to the reels on any spin which raises your chances of hitting the Scatter Feature. When you spin 3 or more of the gold amulets you can win one of 4 bonuses from the spinning bonus wheel: free games, super free games, the chest bonus or the trail bonus.
Wheel Awards 4 Bonus Games
During the Free Games bonus feature you get 8 free games during which you have a raised chance of hitting the wild feature. This round is re-triggerable. During the Super Free Games round you get 12 free games, plus more chances of hitting the expanded wild feature.
The third bonus is the Chest Bonus game, which means you have to open a treasure chest. Be careful though as you could spring a trap! Keep opening chests to find hidden prizes – including up to 15x multipliers – or until you spring the trap and the game ends. The final bonus game is the Trail bonus during which you have to spin the wheel to show how many steps to move around the map of prizes. You could win up to 100x your total bet during this bonus game!
