Serpent Shrine

Serpent Shrine slot by Fantasma Games is a feature-packed fantasy slot that takes us underground for some treasure hunting.

Design

Fantasma knows how to get creative and tell a story through their games. This release takes place below the surface of an ancient forest, in a mysterious crystal-encrusted cave where three curious adventurers got lost forever. The cave is hiding a great treasure guarded by an enormous snake. In the middle of this cavern sits the game area with five columns and seven rows, but not all the positions are active by default. The high-paying symbols are a snake and the three explorers; medium-paying ones are a red, green, and purple crystal; and the low-pays are a pick, map, and a lantern. The golden “W” represents the Wild.

Maths

When the new spin starts, just the 2-3-3-3-2 section of the grid is open, offering 108 payways. The blockers tiles unlock with the help of the Butterfly and Bomb feature, opening the grid to give you up to 16,807 payways.

Serpent Shrine is a high volatility slot with an RTP of 96.53% and the max potential win of 10,013x your bet. The hit frequency a bit above average, sitting at 23.37% and providing a nice flow.

Features

When you land a win with one or more Butterfly Wilds, they will flutter away to unlock three locked positions each, expanding the reels and also awarding a Respin.

At the start of a base game spin, three blocker tiles have the glimmering blue Bomb symbols. The Bomb feature triggers when a Bomb symbol position unlocks during the Butterfly Feature. When the Bomb explodes, it will unlock all the blocker symbols around it. A Butterfly Wild will appear for every Bomb explosion as the Respin occurs.

When all the positions on the grid are unlocked, you get five Snake Free Spins. A snake with two teeth appears on top of the reels, and on each Snake spin, it slithers down the reels to cover more positions. However, the Multipliers also go up with every spin, starting at x1 and amplifying to x2, x5, x20, and x100 on the last spin. Butterfly Wilds can help you quite a bit here; the first two that land will destroy Snake’s teeth, and the third one will kill the Snake, activating two Super Free Spins. During the Super Free Spins, the fixed x100 Multiplier boosts all the wins, and the grid is fully unlocked.

Wrap-up

Creative and exciting, Serpent Shrine is a well-thought-out, strong slot with unique and intense features and good potential. Take a look at this 513x win.
