A Picturesque Slot in a Strange Land Where Wilds Rule
Imagine a land where giant lotus flowers float on top of a river, while on the riverbank you’ll find large temples in dazzling gold. This is exactly what you’ll find in Lotus Land, the Konami designed slot. The land is a mysterious one, as white tigers, snakes and a gold laden elephant all make an appearance. A beautiful lady with elaborate gold headwear is perhaps the princess of the land, running her rule over the intriguing setting.
This game offers stacked symbols throughout, ensuring that a big win is only ever a spin away. The highlight of the slot is the free spins bonus round, where added multipliers and regular retriggers give the feature a boost.
30 Win-Lines with Konami’s Action Stacked Symbols
Each spin of Lotus Land costs a total of 30 credits, which corresponds to the 30 win-lines in play. The game plays out on five reels and pays from left to right. Each spin sees the ‘Action Stacked Symbols’ system in place. A number of adjacent symbols on each of the reels are randomly replaced by a single symbol in the game- this can include any symbol apart from the wild or the scatter. This randomly chosen symbol can dominate the reels at times, ensuring some big wins over many win lines. The ‘Action Stacked Symbol’ system works best with symbols at the high end of the pay table, ensuring the biggest possible wins.
Tigers, Elephants and Other Winning Symbols
The white tiger is the highest paying symbol in the game and pays 200 coins for the maximum five in a row. The tiger is also the only symbol in the game which pays out for hitting two or more in a row (each subsequent symbol requires at least 3 in a row). The princess is next on the pay table and offers a maximum win amount of 150 coins. The gold-laden elephant and a gold and blue snake each have top prizes of 100 coins, while a green umbrella pays 80 coins.
The playing cards 9, 10, J, Q, K and A complete the standard symbols. The 9 and the 10 each have a top pay out of 30 coins, while the leading playing cards all pay 50 coins.
The wild symbol is represented by a spectacular blue diamond. This symbol appears on reels 2, 3 and 4 only and will substitute for any other symbol apart from the scatter. This wild takes centre stage in the following feature round.
Free Games with Added Multiplier Wilds
The lotus flower symbol acts as the scatter in Lotus Land slots. Land 3, 4 or 5 scatters and you’ll win 4, 10 or 600 coins respectively, while also gaining 8, 12 or 20 free spins.
During the free spins, the wilds are replaced by wild multipliers. On reel two, you’ll find multipliers of 2x or 3x attached to the wild. On reel three, the multipliers will be either 2x or 4x. The wilds on reel four increase to either 2x or 5x. These multipliers can make a huge difference to a winning spin – especially when you consider that a wild makes a win more likely anyway.
The bonus feature can be retriggered too. As you might expect, 3, 4 or 5 scatters again in the feature will award another 8, 12 or 20 free spins. However, if you land just two scatters during your spins, you’ll be given an additional 5 free spins. These retriggers occur much more frequently therefore, so the free spins can be extended on a more regular basis.
Gold City – Lotus Land Slot Machine Design
The background to this picturesque slot shows Lotus Land itself. A green and blue surfaced wide river sits in the foreground, with large pink lotus flowers floating on the surface. Look to the river bank and you’ll see huge golden temples looming large. The reels have a purple backing featuring an intricate design, while the symbols are nicely designed. The animation with the diamond wild symbol is impressive, and more animation in the game would have improved the overall visuals. The accompanying sound is functional and effective.
Flower Power? Should You Take a Trip to Lotus Land?
With the Action Stacked Symbols system in place, every spin has extra potential for that big win, giving the base game added buzz. The game moves up a gear in the free spins feature, when those multipliers can give any win a boost. In terms of sound and graphics, the game can feel a little dated in places and lacking in comparison to many more modern looking slots. Nevertheless, the unique gameplay will have you sticking around for a while.
