“It takes just one look on the reels to figure out why NetEnt is the biggest slot company. Their graphics are gorgeous, their gameplay is solid, and the jackpots could maybe be a bit better.”

The sense of adventure and diving into the unknown is something buried deep in every human. It’s both terrifying and thrilling at the same time, and while many have lost themselves on that path, those who succeed come back with great treasures and awesome stories to tell. Not unlike gambling, except our hobby is much less dangerous, for everything except your wallet. Still, why battle through jungles and climb mountain ranges when you can play your favourite games and win a life-changing jackpot from the comforts of your own home?
Launched in May 2018, Lost Relics is a 5-reel 5-row slot with the Cluster Pays mechanics. Rather than using paylines, this game takes six or more same symbols that are adjacent to each other and awards wins based off of that. There are also several special features, some of which are activated randomly during the base game, while others can only be uncovered in free spins.
Alluring as it might be to strap on your backpack and run off into adventure, you should make sure your budget is all set before leaping into the unknown. The coin denomination goes from $0.01 to $2.00, while the wager goes from $0.20 up to $400 per spin. So unlike actual adventurers, which were usually rich and well-funded, our version skips all the discomforts of actually adventuring while also offering gamblers without big pockets to spin a few times and increase their budget.
The list of game icons include poker card symbols, a dagger, a helmet, richly decorated bracers and a red orb guarded by a golden snake. Worthy treasures for the taking, but to get to them, you will have to dig past the stone barrier. NetEnt also went all out in making sure their release looks as pristine as possible, going so far as to make sure all the icons project a shadow on the reels beneath, and to have the shadows slowly move in tune with the crackling fire.
Wild symbols are represented by a golden ring shaped after the Ouroboros, the snake that eats its own tail, with a large W in the middle of said ring. They replace all symbols except for Scatters. Scatters are silver broches shaped in a peculiar fashion, and collecting three at once will reward gamblers with ten free spins. Scatters only appear on the first, third and fifth reel.
When a winning combination occurs, the floor can crumble beneath the symbols, revealing up to three features which can be activated up to five times. You can get a Coin Win, which rewards between 3x and 30x the bet, Extra Wild which will randomly place three Wilds on any position that is not part of the winning cluster, and extra Scatter which just adds an additional Scatter to hopefully complete your free spins.
When free spins are triggered, the bonuses change. They’re instead drawn from chests which hide beneath the reels. The first chest is always small, and the second is always medium sized. They offer a random number and combination of features. Extra free spins gives players more bonus turns, sticky Wild will randomly transform an icon into a Wild and make it sticky for the rest of the free spins and coin win rewards between 1x to 30x the bet.

"Lost Relics came close to being an all-time favourite. Our only complaint is regarding the paytable, while everything else comes near perfect. A great showing by NetEnt."
