Easter Island Slot
A slot that is certain to satisfy the sweet tooth of any ardent gamer out there, Easter Island, by Eyecon, may be somewhat best tailored towards breaking out during that most sugar fuelled of holidays towards which it lends its name. However, it is nonetheless evergreen in nature and fully relevant at any time of the year.
Taking players deep into a world where vast swathes of cute bunnies reside harmoniously on hillsides and seek just one thing in life: to steal delicious Easter eggs from the island’s vast habitat of birds, there’s no question that this game is based upon the eponymous Christian spring holiday.
Easter Influenced Features
One of the most noticeable features of this game are the highly impressive graphics on display from the moment it loads up. All in all the presentation is stellar and the console is very well rendered. Set against a beautiful blue sky and showing a lush green pasture in the background decorated with aforementioned rabbits, the scene is set wonderfully before work even begins!
The game’s symbols are varied, which is just what most players nowadays like to see. From vibrant pink flowers, tropical beach huts, palm trees, wacky rabbits and their succulent carrots, right through to more ominous skulls; there’s a great deal of variation all present across the 5 reels – which makes for an intriguing start to player experience.
Furthermore, the buttons and triggers which act to connect the players to the reels are very large and easy to decipher, which can make all the difference to some players.
All of the usual offerings are present across the bottom of the screen, with options, change bet, change lines, gamble and autoplay needs all catered for. Of all these, the autoplay function may well be the most useful, as it keeps things moving along constantly without the need to place your bet and alter your settings each time – ultimately giving you more time to enjoy the rich landscape of the game itself and shovel any amount of chocolate eggs into your mouth as you do!
Easter Bunnies All the Way Down
As already covered, Easter Island is a game which possesses a total of five reels. Across these reels, players have access to a total of 25 paylines, with winning combinations all paying from the left of the screen to the right. As is often the case, this game is bolstered by the addition of scatter wins, which are added to various line wins at different points throughout the game and are multiplied by the total amount of credits wagered. Line wins are multiplied by the credits wagered on each payline, so are fully representative of player stake. They also only pay out the very highest win and only on each selected payline.
Each of the game’s five reels is assigned its very own Easter bunny symbol. The first reel is home to the drummer bunny, the second reel to the male bunny, the third the witchdoctor bunny (beware of this one!), the fourth the female bunny and the fifth, once more, the drummer.
In the event that you land a combination which utilises three or more scattered bunny symbols, a Easter Island free games will be unleashed.
Prize Pick Feature
The Prize Pick feature is highly interesting. It is triggered when three or more shattered Easter birds land anywhere upon the active reels and awards players one pick per bird symbol that forms the winning combination.
Be advised, take your time in picking as each feathered helper possesses the power to award a multiplier of as much as 100 times the stake which triggered the feature.
Parting Thoughts
Eyecon is a software house that very rarely misses the mark. In the past they have given us a delightful and seemingly unending range of games all of which have meant a great deal to a large number of people. There is no doubt in this review that Easter Island will prove to be yet another jewel in the crown of this hardworking team.
With an affinity to produce such user-friendly yet competitive and challenging titles, the Eyecon team seems to have the formula well and truly locked down. If you have enjoyed any of their previous titles (various favourites including the likes of Sugar Train, Roland Rat, Fluffy Favourites, Irish Luck…), then there’s every chance that you will love this one.
Despite it being a largely seasonal game, the theme still carries enough imagination along with it to make it fully passable any time of the year.
