Nirvana

In many religions, nirvana is a state of mind, it’s a perfect peace and balance. Can you even image how it’s like to feel no stress, no rush, no responsibilities or duties for at least couple of minutes? Reaching the state of nirvana is as tempting as almost impossible. But, how about getting at least a small crumb of that feeling? Yggdrasil has made lately an outstanding slot game – Nirvana – which gives you the chance to experience a little fraction of what Nirvana really is.

Nirvana from Yggdrasil is a 5-reel slot with 20 pay lines and 3 rows of symbols. The slot really has got many facades, so in order to grasp its whole concept, we need to conduct the description as carefully as dismantling the bomb. So, first things first – the first impression is predictable; as in the case of Yggdrasil‘s all games, the details of the animation and graphics are mesmerizing. The sound accompanying spinning the reels, as well as symbols and bonuses are soothing. The whole slot is simply enchanting. The symbols can be divided into two categories; there are animal creatures, and card symbols in a form of colorful gems. Animal creatures are hybrids of different animals; there is for instance a white rabbit but with the antlers of a deer. But, the little fellow half eagle-half cat is just adorable.

Moreover, there are also bonus symbols, and this is the part when everything gets a little bit complicated. The number of bonuses is bigger than in other slot games, but let us first take a look on the ones that we know well.

First of all – the Wild; The Wild symbol is just an inscription on the symbol, leaving no doubt what we are dealing with. Its role is also very simple – it substitutes for all symbols, except for the Free Spins symbol. It can show up on all reels, and only the highest value is paid.

The Free Spins symbol, is an image of the lotus flower with an inscription on it. It gives Free Spins, and what is worth mentioning is the fact that even after catching 2 such symbols, you already get 1 Free Spin. The real fun begins when you hit at least three symbols. With three, you get 10 Free Spins. With 4 symbols also 10 Free Spins but additionally 1000 coins. With five symbols, same Free spins and 5000 coins. Isn’t it fun? Of course Free Spins can be re-triggered.

But wait – there’s more! The Free Spins mode is not just about Free Spins; when you go into Free Spins mode, you go also almost into the state of Nirvana – you can choose of of the three goddesses, who will help you win the biggest amount of money possible. You can choose Wild Seeds, and during the Free Spins, random additional wilds will appear on reels, Mega Reel, which stops three middle reels and synchronized in such a way, that symbols of the same combination will land on the reels. There is also a Nudge Reel, who is responsible for nudging some symbols to move after every spin in the Free Spins mode, so the win is the higher possible one. Every goddess’s power is described in detail in the “Info” section.
