Review and recommendations by our testing team

  • The Epic Journey slot cannot be called typical kind of game (which in most cases is a line-winning game), because of the presence of three playing fields and different kind of bonus features. Even with this said, the slot has a very bad combination costs and cannot reach its potential.
  • In the usual spins, when you don’t get a bonus feature, the slot gives only small winnings, the largest part of which is less than the normal bate size, while, even with the 3 playing fields, the slot is sometimes making long series of spins without winning. “Sugar volcano” feature has the potential of making a bigger win. This bonus feature is triggered when Volcano symbol appears on two or three playing fields, which will give scatter of wild symbols on all three playing fields, no matter which field has Volcano symbol. The three volcano symbols to come together doesn’t often happen (it was not possible to get during the tests) and in most cases, the slot gives only two, with an average win of 2x-10x bets, and rare larger wins reaching 15x-25x.
  • The bonus feature is triggered when the bonus symbol appears on all three game fields, which awards the choice of one of four Runestones, behind which there can be: free spins "Safari", bonus feature "mushroom forest", bonus feature "hunting for fossil animals", as well as winning coins.
  • Free spins "Safari" award 10 free spins, during which there are 3 additional wild symbols when you gather them it makes them golden and triggers their multiplier from x2 to X5 (trigger the multiplier you have to catch three symbols of the same type). During the free spins, Volcanoes bonus feature can also be triggered, which in combination with wild symbols can bring the big win. Despite the fact that in the largest part of the bonus features it is possible to collect all three types of wild symbols, triggering of Volcano does not often happen and most of the time the winnings of such bonus feature are 10x-35x bets. In some of them, we still managed to get the trigger of two volcanoes, and the winning in these bonus features are around the size of 30x-60x total bets. It was not possible to get the trigger of three volcano symbols during the bonus game.
  • The potential for larger wins is extremely low, and we can say that we are not getting it. Bonus feature "mushroom forest" triggers the game with a choice of three mushrooms out of nine. For each mushroom can be the win in coins, as well as additional choice and multiplier. Despite the fact that the largest part of the bonus feature can get a multiplier x3-x4, the average size of the win in the bonus feature is 10x-15x bets, and the maximum managed to get only 20x.
  • Bonus feature "hunting for fossil animals" triggers an alternative playing field 3×3, in which only one shovel symbol is to be gathered. For 3 spins, you need to collect as many shovel symbols as possible (maximum 9), the number of which will depend on your final win, the maximum value of which is 125x bets. In most of the bonus games received during testing, it was possible to get winnings only in 12x and 25x total bets. Instant coin wins the award the winning of just 2x, which is very bad knowing how hard three bonus game symbols are given.

The Epic Journey is often “cold” because the players don’t like it that much. Keeping the balance is awful. Not recommended while playing an active bonus, as well as for medium and long gaming sessions. It is possible to use strategies of progressive bets for short series spins.

Hidden parameters and settings of the slot

The function substitute of Volcano

  • There are two wild symbols in the slot. The eponymous inscription represents the usual, and the bonus one is in the form of a volcano.
  • A special wildfire covers two cells at once. It replaces any symbol, but it is not able to affect other bonus images.
  • If two or three Volcano symbols appear, an additional option will be triggered.
  • Three reels will turn into wild ones. As a result, the number of winning combinations will increase several times.

Three bonus features

  • Drill with the inscription Bonus acts as a symbol of the scatter and activator of a multi-level prize round.
  • If you see three scatters in any cell on the playing field, the bonus game will launch them immediately.
  • Four runes will appear on the screen, and you will need to select one. It will identify which bonus you will receive.
  • These can be free spins of "Safari". 10 spins represent them with three extra wild symbols for each reel. If three identical wilds fall out, then an additional multiplier will be activated to win the combinations of symbols. So, Mammoth falls only on the first reel, and it has a multiplier of x2, the Sea Beast multiplies the win by x3, but the Dinosaur will increase the payout by 5 times. It sounds great, does not it?
  • The fall of the bonus round "Mushroom Forest" will bring each player a multiplier for the final bet. You should choose three mushrooms from the appeared on the screen. Behind each of them can hide an additional multiplier or one more attempt.

  • A fixed win may also be hidden behind one of the runes. After receiving it, the bonus will be completed.

Rewards for winning combinations of symbols

  • But five archaeologists give larger rewards. For three to five identical pictures you can get up to 100 coins.
  • The biggest gain comes from a wild symbol. It can return up to 500 coins.
  • Please, you should note that the final paytable contains the final prizes, considering the final bet. And no more than 100 pay combinations can be formed for one spin.

Settings

  • Maximum winnings are 500 coins. Only five wild symbols bring this winning.
  • Active lines are 40.
  • The percentage of return is 96.6%.
