What secrets lie beyond those ancient walls, will you survive to make off with your ill-gotten gains and just why are we looking at helmets belonging to the Roman Empire? All these questions will be answered from the moment you take on the challenge of NetEnts' brand new Indiana Jones-themed 5 reel, 5 row game, ‘Lost Relics.' That's right, raid this (not so lost) ark of untold treasures anytime you want – and on any operating platform you desire – as you experience a previously unseen world of free spins, bonus features, and wild symbols.
We can't get enough of Lost Relics and nor it seems, can the online slots community who are posting rave reviews about its playability factor since its launch in May. If you like your slots games to project character – as well as brandish some half-decent pay-outs – then you've rocked up to the right place. It's abundantly evident that NetEnts invested blood, sweat and tears into this game, courtesy of slick graphics, great sound effects, a gamut of in-play bonuses and free spins aplenty.
All eyes will be on that elusive golden snake here, the one with the ‘W' etched about its slithery self. Clock Indiana Jones' habitual nemesis and riches will follow; for the simple reason, its much sought after presence is a precursor to symbol swapsies. Although this doesn't apply to scatters. And if you thought that was impressive, wait until you hear about the extra wild feature. 5 of these means 15 extra wilds, which in turn result from 3 extra wilds slotting into place on the reels which aren't part of winning clusters.
Desktop, tablet or smartphone-compatible (from 20p a spin), Lost Relics is another virtual slots masterstroke from NetEnts, utilising its Cluster Pays online game engine to full effect. Winners are created by juxtaposing a myriad of vertically and horizontally touching symbols (all of which benefit from an archaeological vibe). A decent spread of randomised extras including coins wins value-added wilds and scatters make for an immersing game-playing experience, while free spins unlock treasure chests which bring even greater rewards for your endeavours.
Lost Relics is one of the most engaging slots games out there right now, and one of the reasons for that – aside from the potential to make some serious wonga while all the time having a ball – is down to the graphics and animation, together with the SFX. As a complete aesthetic package, it's pretty much got the lot, especially for anyone who's ever fancied themselves as an Indiana Jones or Lara Croft (and who hasn't??). But more than that, it's got personality in spades (and Roman helmets, bracelets, diamonds, golden snakes and lions and other historical artefacts).
Locate 3 scatter symbols and land a 10 free spins bonus, but it doesn't just end there. If you grab more prizes during your free spins, said combos reveal previously hidden positions on the grid. Somewhere beneath that grid, there's treasure chests lurking too. Pinpoint those and unlock additional free spins and various other riches, including free spins, sticky wilds or coin wins. If you choose to play for real money, then these individual freebies could stack up in no time at all.
