Easter Island Online Slot Machine – Free Play & Review

Easter Island is not a place that’s dedicated to the Easter holiday, despite its name, but it’s a noteworthy location nonetheless. The thing that made it famous is the presence of the Tiki statues on it, left behind by a now disappeared civilization.

The Tiki style statues are everywhere on that island and they’re used as main characters in this slot as well. The two chatty statues are on the sides of the reels and they’re constantly moving, like they’re dancing.

Moving on to the reels area, there you will discover a mix of symbols that show both low-paying (the card suits, made out of wood and painted in different colors) and high-paying options (these show creatures, including a fox, a lizard, a frog, a fish and a bird). The graphics are good, but they’re especially interesting in their outside area, the reels being of a slightly lower quality (still good though).

Developer

The creator of Easter Island is a company with Swedish roots and with a name that’s inspired by Norse mythology, being called Yggdrasil Gaming.

This developer has had a couple of impressive years, with excellent releases, among which Easter Island is just the latest one. Whether you go with a game like Valley of the Gods, or with Ozwin’s Jackpots, there will always be great graphics in those titles, and the list of features tends to look good as well.

How To Play It

Players that give Easter Island a spin can do so with as little as $0.10 wagered, while at the other side of the betting range you get the option to use $200. There are always 25 coins in use, activating 27 lines, with denominations set for them from $0.004 to $8.

You might not get the usual number of lines, but 27 lines on 5 reels are just as easy to use. You just spin those reels and everything else takes care of itself. Even the expanding reels and the increasing number of lines aren’t going to require any input on your part, so the complex parts will not actually make the game difficult to play.

Special Features

In this slot, winning combinations are always going to be accompanied by respins. During these respins, there is some repositioning of symbols and transformations, which can hopefully get you paid again. First, if you got a low symbol to trigger the win, then during the respin it will replace all other symbols that pay small amounts. Second, if it’s a high symbol that paid you, then it will replace high paying symbols for the respin.

Respins can be improved further, depending on how many symbols you had in the winning combo. The reels are of standard size if you got 3 symbols in the win, they have 5 symbols if you triggered the respin with 4 symbols, and 7 symbols if there were 5 in the combo. An increasing number of symbols per reel will boost the paylines as well, so you get 65 and 103 lines during respins triggered by bigger combinations.

For the final feature, you will have an expanding wild, which appears and occupies reels 2 and 4. If the wild appears during a winning spin, it’s going to be sticky for the respin.

Maximum Payouts

The individual wins of Easter Island don’t promise that they’re going to pay more than 500 coins back to you, which would mean $4,000. Given the presence of the respins though, along with the higher number of lines used there and the sticky expanding wilds, you typically win from multiple lines at a time.

Summary

Easter Island has the modern graphics that Yggdrasil always seems to deliver, along with features that are just as impressive.
