Leading online slots development studio, Play’n GO, recently bolstered its catalogue of premium titles with a new addition. The Shimmering Woods is a title packed with innovations, including a game-changing mechanic.

Defying the mould

Play’n GO has a reputation for boldly exploring a myriad of new themes, mechanics, and formats. The developer’s cascading grid titles have gained massive popularity among slot enthusiasts and its takes on tried and tested themes like Ancient Egypt or Nordic mythology produce unique and exciting results. The company has proven itself with titles like Frozen Gems and Coil Cash that utilise standard mechanics but still stand well apart from the competition.

The Shimmering Woods adopts a 5×3 reel format with splitting symbols that boost the number of payways on the grid. The splitting symbol is selected before you spin, and any instances that land on the reels are split, potentially increasing the number of payways from the base value of 243 up to a maximum of 7776.

Brave new gameplay

The slots features include progressive free spins, where multiple splitting symbols can appear and re-triggers are possible.

Play’n GO’s CEO, Johan Törnqvist, appreciates the balance between exploring new concepts and reinventing existing ones.

“Things become popular for a reason; when something strikes a chord with a fan base, they want more of it. But it’s not just about repeating the same thing in different packaging. It’s important to introduce new experiences within the framework of what players love. You don’t always need to reinvent the wheel, but it’s important to keep things fresh,” he said.

The Shimmering Woods is live now and waiting for your exploration.

The relaxing pastime of fishing isn’t a common theme choice for slot developers and Pragmatic Play has taken it upon itself to bring the excitement of landing a ‘big one’ to the world of online slots.

Fishin Reels

Rather than being perched on a stool, with a rod in your hand, the pokie’s theme places you right in the action at the bottom of the ocean, where random bubbles float by and sea creatures populate the reels. The goldfish is the most rewarding pay symbol, awarding you 100x your stake for 5 on a payline.

The game is fully optimised for all devices so you can enjoy the experience from the screen of your pc or on the go with your cellphone or tablet.

Fishy features

Fishin’ Reels boasts 2 main Bonus features to help you get the most out of the game.  The Reel’Em In feature places random fish symbols worth 0.5x to 250x your bet on the reels. If these symbols appear at the same time as a fisherman symbol on reel 5, he will reel in all the values and add them to your winnings. If a can of worm symbol is also reeled in, you will be awarded an extra 2 spins.

Landing 3 Big Catch symbol above the pokie’s reels will trigger The Big Catch feature that awards you 2 free spins and set off a mini bonus game that has you pick from a selection of 8 fish that hide prizes worth between 0.2x and 250x your stake.

The game has a 5-reel, 10-payline format, and your betting options range from 0.10 to 100.00. The RTP is just above the industry average at 96.50% and the maximum you can win from a single spin is 1200x your bet.

This title bears some visual resemblance to Blueprint Gaming’s iconic Fishin’ Frenzy slot, but that is where the similarities end. Pragmatic Play’s title boasts uniquely engaging gameplay and features with fast-paced action to keep you entertained.

​​

Play’n GO has been building success upon success as it has grown as an organisation. The game developer recently released a new slot that is sure to add even more prestige to its flourishing reputation. The Green Knight is the latest slot in a series that focuses on the legend of King Arthur. This particular title takes inspiration from the poem, Sir Gawain & The Green Knight and features a 5 reel and 20 payline format with a host of lucrative bonus features.

This highly volatile game contains special wild multipliers that could boost your winnings by up to 100x. If you can fight your way to the game’s top potential, you could claim 10,000x your total stake from a single spin.

Look and feel

The Green Knight shares a central theme with the other slots in Play ’n GO’s Arthurian legend-themed series of games that includes The Sword and the Grail and Rise of Merlin among others.

The game’s background image is a dense forest with various hues of green saturating the visual experience. Playing card suits represented by stone symbols feature on the reels alongside other medieval fare such as an axe, a horse, and the queen. Sir Gawain himself appears as the most rewarding symbol and landing 3, 4 or 5 on a pay line pays 2.5x, 5x or 25x your bet.

The wild symbol stands in for all symbols besides the Green Knight scatter and some wilds come with a multiplier boost.

The game is optimized for play on all devices, including smartphones and tablets, and standard PC’s.

Bonus Features

Wilds, multiplier wilds and free spins are your power trio of features that help you reach the slot’s full potential. The Green Knight scatter symbol triggers free spins and while the feature is active wild multipliers are guaranteed to appear on the reels. The wild multipliers increase in value as the feature progresses. As you ascend through free spins 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, you will be awarded multipliers of 2x, 5x, 10x, 25, and 100x, respectively.​
