Background
Fantasy themed slots rely on their presentation to stand out, and the Golaur Guardians slot game certainly wins on that score. The background to the reels features a spooky forest filled with stagnant pools and gnarled old trees, while the reels themselves are considerably brighter: Tiny faeries in red and blue make up the low-value symbols, while the high-value symbols are an array of fantasy characters in action poses including wood elves, high elves, dark elves and a red sorceress. The art is fantastic, incredibly detailed and full of movement and life, while excellent animations and an otherworldly soundtrack all add to the excitement.
Features
Just like faeries in storybooks, this slot is tricky and quick to change, and while the five-reel and three-row setup with 20 pay lines is simple enough, there are so many premium symbols that land in a variety of sizes that you never know what is coming next. The most valuable symbols can land in sizes ranging from 1×1 to 3×3, sometimes taking up most of the playing area, to help generate big wins. There is also an ornately drawn wild, which as well as generating this slot’s biggest win at 50x your stake, is also the key to the bonus rounds. As a high volatility slot, you shouldn’t expect regular wins, but all you need is a few massive wins or the game’s truly colossal £/€/$2 million jackpot to land, and you’ll be laughing! The RTP of 96.34% is reassuring in this regard, and if that isn’t enough, the bonuses surely will be!
Bonuses
The free spins in this round are activated in the traditional way, by landing three scatters. This grants you ten free spins, and if you’re lucky the Hero Spins feature will be activated, granting you a random hero stacked on the first two reels while a massive symbol takes up the last three reels. Manage to land a scatter on this feature and you’ll begin the Hero Trail, upgrading the hero to the next level on the scale visible to the left of the reels. Manage to get to the top of the trail and you’re looking at winning 1000x your stake with every winning spin!
