Fantasia Slot Machine
Fantasia is a fantasy-themed online slot game from Cayetano. This exciting slot has 4 sets of reels to give 80 payines each spin and potentially more winning chances. The background of the slot is a beautiful garden with birdsong sound effects and the images on the reels include fairies, magic potions, flowers and special amulets work to create a feeling of magic and wonder.
This slot has a number of features in addition to the innovative 4 sets of reels to add to the interest, including stacked wilds, free spins round and bonus game for lots of magically different ways to win.
Starting the Magical Adventure
Fantasia has a unique lay out with 4 sets of 5 reels, each with 20 fixed paylines, giving a total of 80 paylines in play every spin. Because there are many paylines in play, your betting range is a little higher than with many other slot games and your minimum bet is €0.80.
The maximum stake is €1,000, so this will please high rolling players, while the lowest rollers might find the betting level a little too high for comfort. Other options for smoother gameplay include an autospin feature that gives you the chane to play up to 25 spins automatically and set your own loss and win limits.
This slot game has a strong fantasy theme with the magical garden background, birdsong sound effects and fairy main character. The other symbols include a gold tiara encrusted green emeralds, an amber amulet, a purple potion bottle, and a white and yellow flower. There are also high card symbols to award the lower payouts.
When you spin the reels in Fantasia, the top left reel set spins first, followed in succession by the other three reel sets all slightly behind each other to give a wonderful, hypnotic effect like a Mexican wave.
Fairy Good Payouts
The payouts in this game are fairly good with the highest-paying symbol being the fairy, who awards 2,000x your bet for 5 symbols together on the reels. The fairy is also the stacked wild symbol which means the fairy stands in for all the other symbols, except the special bonus symbol, to create more potential winning combinations. As the fairy can appear stacked to cover the whole reel this is a great symbol for payout potential.
The second-best symbols in the game are the gold tiara and purple potion bottle, which both award up to 320x your bet for 5 symbols. The amber amulet and the flower both pay 160x your bet for 5 symbols. The lowest paying symbols are the high cards with the Ace, King and Queen all paying 120x your bet, and the Jack and 10 both awarding 80x your bet for spinning 5 matching symbols on the reels.
Free Spins and Fantasy Island Bonus Game
If you spin 3 of the green and yellow ‘free spins’ symbols on a single set of reels you will trigger 7 free spins – and the chance to play the Fantasy Island bonus game! During your free spins, watch out for the purple and yellow ‘bonus’ symbol because if 2 of these turn up on the reels you will trigger the bonus.
During the Fantasy Island bonus game, the fairy can award big prizes with the top jackpot of 500x your bet just a magical touch away! This fantastical bonus game can also be activated by spinning 3 of the purple and yellow bonus symbols on the screen during normal play.
Magical Fun in the Fairy’s Fantasy Land
Fantasia is a gentle game to play with a strong magical fantasy theme. The interesting idea of having 4 sets of reels adds an extra layer of entertainment, though we did not feel it actually added much to our bankroll. The birdsong in the background is pleasant and relaxing, with the up and down twinkling sound accompanying the spins adding to the fantastical feel, although these twinkling sound effects become quite monotonous after a while.
The betting range would suit higher rollers rather than more cautious players who might be looking for bet only a couple of cents per spin rather than the €0.80 required here. We enjoyed the fantasy free spins round which appeared a couple of times to boost the free payouts. Overall, Fantasia is a pleasant slot game for fans of magical and fantasy themes.
