Almighty Reels Garden of Persephone

If you like playing games based on Greek mythology, you might want to take a stroll through the Almighty Reels Garden of Persephone Slot!

Pretty similar to the previous Almighty Reels offering of Realm of Poseidon...

...this title is based around the Goddess Persephone.

In Greek mythology, she came to represent the change between the Spring and the Autumn, when the plants begin to grow and...

...harvest begins and ends representing the time she spent above and below ground.

This Ancient Greek mythology-themed machine is built on the classic Novomatic setting...

...with 5 reels, 3 rows, and 25 fixed pay lines.

It is a visually-appealing game coming with Scatters, Wilds, Giant Symbols and Free Spins finally leading to the static jackpot of 800 coins!

Theme & Design

This slot has a nice visual display which includes cartoonish icons in vibrant colours and a view of a temple.

The design of the Almighty Reels is identical to the previous game in the series...

...as well as the gameplay, which is also similar.

All you need to know is you have a 5×3 set of reels with 25 pay lines, and...

...your aim is to spin the reels to try and get a winning combination from left to right using the base symbols. 

Not only is Zeus’s daughter herself beautiful, but the game looks fantastic, decked out with autumnal coloured trees in her garden which makes up the background of this slot, and...

...a classic Greek building surrounding the reels. 

When it comes to the ream of symbols, these include cornucopia, helmets, vase, Persephone, harps and the usual Royal Cards A, K, Q, J and 10. 

Betting Options

The gameplay is as straightforward as the design. 

The oversized symbols can certainly move things along, especially if you land a higher value giant symbol during the free spins.

This isn’t a very volatile game though. 

In fact, the variance is in the LOW-MEDIUM range which is unusual for a Novomatic slot game, as...

...you can win 100 times your stake on every spin.

Start your gambling event by setting up the favourite bet amount in the Total Bet field.

The coin sizes range from a minimum of 0.25 up to a maximum of 500.00. 

The 25 pay lines cannot be altered at any point during the game. 

As for the Auto Feature, it rotates the reels on its own when sliding the arrow to the right. 

Traditional playing card symbols from 10 through to A will pay out the lower-value prizes, and they also tend to appear more frequently. 

Up to 400x the amount staked per line is paid out when the K or A is seen right across a pay line, but...

...it’s the unique picture symbols that you’ll want to land. 

These include the cornucopia, harp, vase, and helmet. 

Plus, the top prizes are yours when Persephone appears across a line, as...

...she pays out the equivalent of 200x the amount staked on each line when she’s on three reels, while lines of four will be worth 400x. 

If she’s right across a pay line, you win 800x!

The Wild Card is represented by the Golden Palace Symbol, and...

...it substitutes for any other symbols when making its apparition on the reels, apart from the Scatter Symbol. 

Now, let’s move on to the…

Special Features

The Free Spins Bonus Round is the cherry of the title. 

Getting the golden coin Scatter fully on the reels will activate this feature, where...

...you are bound to receive 10 free spins.

However, you will be required to select from golden coins to determine whether the cornucopia, helmet, harp, vase or Persephone symbol will act as the Colossal 3x3 symbol...

...which remains permanently on the reel during every spin.

During the feature, the Giant Symbol covers 9 symbol positions which might increase your winning chances. 

But, there's more!

As with many Novomatic titles...

...this game also gives the player the option of GAMBLING their win. 

Click the Gamble button after making a winning spin and you will see a playing card flashing both red and black. 

If the player manages to land a red or a black correctly, then they’ll double their win.

However, the downside to this is, if you are wrong, then you’ll lose your prize, so it’s a risky option.

Our Take

Almighty Reels Garden of Persephone is the title with the pretty good appearance...

...as well as the effects, animations and sounds.

Novomatic has continued the Almighty Reels series, this time introducing a new Goddess, but the gameplay itself remains unchanged.

For some that might be a good thing, but for others not really, as they would have probably liked to have seen more features included this time. 

The Free Spins Bonus works well as is the reason for the popularity of previous titles in the series, though.

If you enjoy a relatively low variance slot and like the free spins feature, by all means, give this new game a go.
