Lost Relics™ is a slot machine featuring a Cluster Pays™ feature as a line substitution created from scratch by developer NetEnt. A new variant that reminds us a lot of Indiana Jones but in a female version. With the graphic elements that we can observe from the main game, we can see a campfire by which our pretty, tender-hearted adventurer will warm up after a long walk to discover the exciting universe of an ancient temple that has been uninhabited for centuries inviting us in her own way to discover all its secrets!
Determined and enthusiastic to face the danger that lurks in the cold corridors of this sanctuary plunged into darkness. The floor is covered with a thick carpet of sand masking the bottomless pits in its austerity. Her headlamp allows our adventurer to progress through the heart of the adventure while being on the lookout for the slightest trap.
Players will have to accompany our charming heroine into the bowels of secret chambers strewn with all kinds of treasures such as sacred relics endowed with supernatural powers. First of all, you will have to pass all the tests that many adventurers have been unable to overcome. As souvenirs of their perilous passages, their remains in the form of bones rest in certain hidden corners in the darkness of this temple.
Lost Relics™ is a slot that does not have a payline but instead has a Cluster Pays™ feature that allows the game's many symbols to cascade. In order to score profits in the regularity, it is necessary to get at least 6 identical items adjacent, vertically or horizontally.
Icon lovers will have a blast! The Lost Relics™ gameplay experience is about to be relatively feature rich! There will also be a slew of symbols. First, the weak items (hearts, spades, clubs and diamonds) but don't forget the strong icons which are represented by relics and also Wilds and Scatters of course so no room for boredom but room for mystery from the start!
The Lost Relics™ slot has three random features that will activate at any time in the main game once a winning combination is achieved which are: the Coin Win feature, the not-so-friendly sacred lion reminding you that he is the king, engraved on a gold coin, and awarding gold coins from the hidden treasure when he feels like it giving you between x3 and x30 the bet!
The Extra Wild feature, three wild symbols, a snake with fearsome fangs that bites its tail forming a perfect sphere where anger is trapped and represented by fire. These wilds enter the screen in random formation to substitute for the other Lost Relics™ symbols to form winning combinations while remaining until the end of the show or until one of the chests fully reveals itself.
Finally, the Extra Scatter feature. Represented by the head of the old temple guardian who was honoured for his courage by carving his head out of a sacred stone and giving him wings to symbolise his presence forever, this feature can give free spins. You need 3 Scatter symbols on reels 1, 3 and 5 to be eligible and you win 10 free spins. As soon as the 3 Scatters are placed in the magic gear on the walls of the entrance, they start spinning at a dizzying speed so we can guess that what is going to happen is going to be extraordinary...
An old newspaper appears on the screen to congratulate us on winning 10 free spins with a picture of our lovely archaeologist playing with a gem pinned to the side. It then encourages us to continue the adventure... The coin and free spins wins are piling up. This can be seen in the middle of the bottom of our screen.
To announce the total win again we see the number of coins won in the old newspaper, but this one has as illustration an open chest filled with gold coins and a picture pinned with the 4 weak symbols (spades, hearts, diamonds and clubs). In the main game, when a spin awards a winning combination, up to 5 of the 3 random features can be activated after the reels have stopped but before any payout.
During the free spins there is a chest that is hidden behind the reels, and the winning square areas are uncovered to reveal the chest. Even if the chest is not fully revealed and the round is over, the squares will remain frozen for the next round, and once the chest is opened it starts all over again.
There are three different chests: small, medium and large, which hold many wonderful surprises! When this one is fully visible you can win one of three functions: Extra Free Spin, represented by the word itself carved in a stone circle and offering another free spin. Sticky Wild, the famous rabid snake that shows its anger by the fire surrounding it, which puts another wild on the screen and stays in the same place until the free spins are over. Finally the Coin Win, the sacred lion reminding us that he is the guardian of the treasure, which will give us back between x1 and x30 our bet. The minimum coin value is €0.01 and the maximum €2. The bets range from €0.01 to a maximum of €200.
Lost Relics™ is a fairly successful slot from developer NetEnt. It is very similar to the Indiana Jones cinematography in a female version despite the somewhat simple soundtrack and its redoubled trumpeting to announce the wins. It's a slot that doesn't have any paylines, but it's very easy to get reasonable wins. If you have a taste for adventure and are looking for slots of this kind, NetEnt suggests you discover Lost Relics™ 2 (2023) Gonzo's Quest (2022), Gonzo's Gold (2022) and/or Jumanji (2022).
With a payout ratio of 96.3%, it can give wins to satisfy a large number of players with a minimum chip value of €0.01 and a maximum value of €200. What we regret is that there is no bonus game. Despite this, Lost Relics™ is a NetEnt slot that remains interesting with its automatic game and fairly abundant free spins, its bright colours that invite us to keep looking at the screen and watch the spins go by.
