Easter just around the corner and Yggdrasil gaming has just made it on time to deliver an upgrade of its exciting slot game that suit the holiday season perfectly.
Yes, the Moai statues are back and this time they are taking the concept of holidays to another whole new level. Easter Island II was released recently on March 24, 2021 and already, it’s proving to be a big hit with holiday makers.
The two stone statue characters that live by the sea on Easter Island have chosen a beach in Venice, California to enjoy their holiday, making their love for the sea very obvious. They are seen in this version of the game each propped up on either side of a 6 reel and 4 row game design with a busy beach background. The slot is capable of expanding and adding rows as the game progresses thus creating room for more winnings.
The game boasts of 9 paying symbols to ensure winning combinations. Typical of many slot games, the lower paying symbols in the game includes the card symbols of spade, diamond, club, and heart. There are also 5 different high paying critters symbols that make up the paying symbols with a Wild symbol that appears during res-pins to replace any symbol and help complete a winning combination.
This upgraded version of the game has added a change to the features of the game without altering the game’s identity with the re-spin feature remaining the major engine of the game alongside Expanding Reels and Colossal Blocks.
The symbol Swap Re-spins is triggered on any winning combination which awards a re-spin. If the combo was comprised of high pays, the winning symbol type replaces all other high pays on the reels for the re-spin, and if it was a low pay, the same happens for the low pays. Even if another win hits, a player only get one re-spin out of this feature.
If the win consisted of more than 3 symbols, Colossal Symbol Blocks are awarded as well as the Symbol Swap Re-spin. For a 4, 5, or 6 of a kind win, the game merges reels to award a 2×2, 3×3, or 4×4 sized colossal blocks, starting from the second reel. Colossal blocks can also be wilds. Interestingly, if the winning combination is a 6 symbol combination, the Expanding reels feature are also triggered thus expanding the game board to a 6×8 reels size before executing the symbol swap re-spins and the colossal block feature with this mood making an active 55 paylines.
In all, although the games potential maximum wins of 2,500 times a player’s stake is not as high as a lot of players would have expected, the game still kicks in with fun and a lot of relaxation. The game has a RTP of 96.0% at a medium volatility.
