Highland Reels

The not so famous Scottish games are about to begin as the crows rallies behind our competitors, also known as the strongmen, in the Highland Reels online slot.

Players will get a chance to witness but also partake in these athletic games and win a bunch of interesting bonus rounds designed by Eyecon. Ready or not, here we go!

Theme and Symbols

Highland Reels is an online video slot brought to you by Eyecon software developer. The game has a rather unusual and rare theme as it features the Scottish athletic games.

The graphics and whole design is done in sort of a cartoon style and we have to admit, it matches the theme to perfection. The background is taken by the cheerful crowd while the sides of the reels are occupied by the competitors themselves.

The biggest association with the Scottish traditional music is, of course, the bagpipes which the developer made sure to include in this online edition. The Golden Cup is the Wild Symbol of the game, appearing only on the 2nd and 4th reel as a replacement for any other regular.

There are 2 Scatters which we’ll discuss in just a moment but, first, let’s find out the remainder of the pay table. There are Wood Logs, Huge Round Stones and A, K, Q, J, 10 and 9 royals. You’ll also see multiple colored Kilts.

Betting Options and Features

Highland Reels online slot comes with a grid setup of 5 reels, 3 rows and 25 pay lines. Match 3 or more identical icons across a pay line, from left to right, to score a win and receive a pay out.

The betting range starts with the least betting amount of £0,25 and goes up to the maximum bet per spin of £12,50. Although not being the best betting range we’ve seen in Eyecon’s online portfolio, it’ll do just fine.

The title boasts medium variance and has best odds of 95,05% which is considered to be slightly below the industry average of 96%.

Kilt Combo - should you manage to land anywhere from 2 to 5 Kilt Symbols regardless of the color you’ll receive a pay out. The maximum exposure you get for 5 Kilts is 3,000x the bet.

Hammer Throw - 3 or more Hammer Scatters anywhere on the reels trigger the feature. The game has 12 targets presented in front of you, simply pick one target at a time until you reveal a match.

Caber Toss - 3 or more Scotsman Scatters anywhere on the reels will do the job of getting the feature started. The number of triggering scatters will determine the number of attempts you’ll be given.

This time around, there are 5 targets which you get to choose from. These can contain multipliers of up to x100 or 10 Free Spins.

Wrapping Up

It’s been a while since we had something so refreshing as the Highland Reels online video slot from Eyecon. The theme is rather so unusual that it instantly brought excitement to our gaming spirit.

Truth to be told, the game is amazing and offers a set of highly interesting features. The only thing that could’ve been better is the below average RTP. Anyhow, we still think that the provider did an awesome job.

This online one-armed bandit is not only available across all of your devices but also the Microgaming platform due to the deal made between the latter and Eyecon.
