Lost Relics

About the slot machine

The Lost Relics slot game is thus a new game title in NetEnt's Cluster Pays category. This means that the game does not consist of the typical spinning reels that classic slot machines usually consist of, nor the active paylines. Instead, it's a 5×5 grid pattern where symbols fall into place – hopefully in a pattern that contributes to winning. Symbols are part of a winning pattern when they land vertically or horizontally alongside an identical symbol. In addition to the game's unique structure and theme, NetEnt has baked in several exciting bonus features, without Lost Relics becoming a difficult or boring one. For example, you are used to the fact that the Scatter is a symbol that activates free spins. Here it gets a little more interesting because both extra Scatters and extra Wilds are included to increase your chances of winning in Lost Relics.

Functions

At the moment, almost all video slots and online slots give a chance to some free games in the form of free spins or bonus rounds. Lost Relics, on the other hand, has chosen to reverse the trend, and therefore has a Scatter symbol that triggers a slightly different function. Whoever plays Lost Relics assumes the role of an archaeologist on a mission to find the hidden treasures, and here are the bonus features to help on the hunt! Look forward to bonus rounds such as extra Wilds, extra Scatters and Coin Win that can be triggered directly from the game's standard round.

Extra Wilds

Wilds, or jokers are a lovely bonus symbol that can briefly assume the value and characteristics of the game's other symbols. In lost Relics, these goodies for symbols are worth a little more. If you trigger the ”Extra Wilds " function, 3 more Jokers land on the playing field. These only land on positions in the game pattern that do not already contribute to a winning pattern or are occupied by other jokers or Scatter symbols.

The best thing about this is that the added Wild symbols can help to activate another bonus feature, in addition to improving your chances of winning. NetEnt hasn't skimped on Wilds either, up to 15 extra Wild symbols can appear then you activate the function in Lost Relics.

Wild symbols can only generate wins when combined with other symbols, and these can substitute for all symbols in the game with the exception of Scatters. There are also Wilds that pay out the highest possible win in the game according to the paytable.

Extra Scatter

If you manage to play 3 Scatter symbols or more during the game's regular game round, you trigger one of the game's bonus features that are visible next to the game's grid pattern. The one who succeeds in this immediately opens the way to the secret chamber that exists behind the playing field, and of course sits on the hidden gold and treasures of the game.

When the Extra Scatter bonus feature starts, one of the symbols in a winning pattern is selected to generate an additional 1 Scatter symbol. A total of 3 Scatters can land on the playing field during both the regular game round and the bonus round. This is also a bonus feature that cannot be triggered several times when you are already in the bonus round.

Free spins

The gaming industry's most coveted slot feature, of course it is also included in Lost Relics. In short, 10 free spins are activated immediately when you Spin 3 of the classic Scatter symbol. However, these can only land on reels 1, 3 and 5 in a regular game round. (apart from extra Scatters that can land on the playing field)

Free spins are always activated with the same coin-and-bet value that you had set for the game round that triggered the bonus feature.

The hidden treasure; Small, Medium or large

Anyone who has the goal of getting their hands on the game's treasure chest, must first get into the bonus round with free spins. This is where you have the chance to win really big. Namely, there is a chest that hides behind a number of positions in the game's checkerboard pattern. The positions during winning patterns can then reveal what is behind, and with a little luck, it is the treasure chest that is visible. The areas that do not open up will remain on the playing field until the next spin for a new attempt until the entire chest is clearly visible.

Once this is done, the player is rewarded with both the treasure chest and a succession of bonus features Extra Free Spins, Sticky Wilds and Coin win. Should a chest contain an Extra Free Spins feature, an additional 1 free spins will be added to your combination bet.

If you get a Sticky Wild feature in your treasure chest, a wild symbol will randomly take its place on the playing field and stay there until the free spins round is completed. These cannot replace other Sticky Wilds, and after a treasure chest is found, the positions that previously revealed its position are reset to zero. After that, the game is loaded with a new treasure chest, which is hidden in a random place behind the usual positions of the game.

Treasure chests come in small, medium, and large sizes. This means just as it sounds, that they incubate treasures of different sizes. Whoever finds a large treasure chest can therefore be rewarded much larger than whoever finds a smaller one. The first 2 treasure chests that are picked up in the game are always small or medium , after that they are completely randomly selected for the player.

Coin Win

This is not an ordinary coin win, but a bonus feature in Lost Relics. When activated, a symbol that is part of a winning combination can give a coin win of 3 to 30 times your bet. The chosen symbol is also part of the winning pattern. In other words, depending on your own bet, this can generate a really juicy winning combination!
