Gameplay and slot symbols: Hail to flower power

A coin value starts from $1 and runs as far as one can afford. Those who prefer betting high amounts are gladly welcome and may expect wins of up to x1000 the coin value they choose. The game is always played at 40 lines and costs 50 coins per spin. Having adjusted a coin value you are about to see the outcome of a spin. There is a nice surprise waiting for you. You are going to be amazed at a way the slot shapes up winning lines. They traditionally consist of symbols sitting on lines; yet there is a trick and the trick is how symbols appear and compose lines. Let us first look at these symbols.

There are 10 non-feature symbols including six playing cards from 9 through to A and four flower symbols: a Poppy, a Rose, a Calla Lily and a Water Lily. All non-feature symbols pay from the leftmost reel to the rightmost reel. Playing cards pay when you land 4 or 5 matching icons on any payline, the payouts are from x 2 to x15 a coin value. Flower symbols pay when you land 3, 4 or 5 matching icons on a payline. The payouts are from x2 for 3 Water Lilies up to x1000 for 15 Poppies. There is no mistake: due to a Symbol Burst feature a single non-feature icon may produce up to 15 icons of a kind and thus earn you a top reward attached to it!

The slot is perfectly alright when left on its own: trigger from 10 to 50 spins and it runs them one by one in an autospin mode. Autospins go until you stop it or a feature activates or the slot runs out of spins you have set for an automatic play.

Symbol Burst feature

Flower symbols may bloom just like real flowers yet better: they earn you hard cash in addition to natural beauty. If a spin brings you a winning combination consisting of Flower symbols, they may burst. This means that a single flower may burst into up to 5 flowers. A flower which bursts still keeps one position on a line but counts by the number of flowers it shows. This is how one line may feature as many as 15 matching icons. Any Flower symbol may appear as a 1-flower icon or burst into a 2-flower icon on any reel.

Any Flower symbol may burst into a 3-flower icon on reels 2, 3 and 4. Bursting into four or five flower icons may happen on reel 3 only and that symbol will count as four or five matching flower icons, respectively. Flowers feature different payouts. Poppies award from x10 up to x1000. Roses award x8 to x800. Calla Lilies give from x5 to x300. Water Lilies earn you from x2 to x200.

Line wins are evaluated when all Flower icons in a winning line burst (if any). If you are lucky to manage multiple line winners in a spin they all pay with no exception. If you land two winning combinations on a single payline only the highest line win is paid.

Garden Bonus feature: Follow the butterflies

Butterflies are little bright spirits of a flower garden making it alive and breathing. Butterflies do the same to the slot. A Butterfly icon is a Garden Bonus trigger. Landing 2 or 3 Butterflies on the reels starts a Garden Bonus round. A Garden Bonus is a selection of free spins that differ in the number of free spins and a primary Flower. During free spins the reels feature only the Flower that you have selected. Poppies, Roses, Calla Lilies and Water Lilies offer 5, 8, 10 and 12 free spins, accordingly.

Flower icons have different payouts and the more free spins you choose the lower paytable you select for a free spin mode. When all free spins are over, you are transferred to the second level of a bonus round, a so called Bonus Bump feature. You see a charming picture of a flower garden. Some items in the garden are backlit and circled. Pick one and retrieve an instant cash prize ranging from x1 to x50 your total bet in a triggering round. A prize is paid and you return to the base game.

Free spins may be won by another way. There is also a Bonus Scatter symbol featuring a small butterfly landing on a beautiful globe. It appears on reel 3 only. It is an extremely useful icon. Firstly, it pays out by itself: land 3 Bonus Scatters in a base game and earn x60 your total bet. Secondly, a Bonus Scatter may substitute for a Butterfly icon. Land 1 Bonus Scatter on reel 3 and a Butterfly may appear from nowhere and then a Garden Bonus triggers. You select a set of 5, 8, 10 or 12 free spins and play a Bonus Bump round.

A free spin mode is not retriggerable. To win free spins again you have to win 2 or 3 Butterflies or a Bonus Scatter and a Butterfly in a base game.
