The Shaman’s Dream slot from Eyecon is set amongst the natural beauty of the Big Country, where the Shaman of the game’s title practices his ancient craft to read the future, heal your ailments and, if you are lucky, make you rich too! Eyecon are behind games like the Piggy Payout slot and Fluffy Favourites. in Shaman’s Dream we are heading out West, so bring along your Peace Pipe.
Howling good fun
The graphically smart slot transports us to the sepia tones of older times, with this peaceful twilight spot amongst the vast wilds with mountains, a lake, and a Native American camp with tepees beneath the reels; setting the scene perfectly.
The background sounds of play are the disquieting howls of the top scoring wolf and the authentic tribal drum beats from the long ago past- along with some rather less old world electronic bleeps!
The frame of the reels is rustic stuff, made of old wooden sticks and the reels are populated with the slightly strange selection of traditional objects, presumably the tools used by the medicine man himself and some of his friends. The various pay lines down the side of the frame are all indicted by a series of white feathers. This slot is in a genre all of its own and quite a departure from Eyecon’s cute range that includes the likes of the Fluffy Too slot and Fluffy Favourites.
Gameplay
Shaman’s Dream is a 5 reel, 3 row and 25 pay lines slot game to return you to simpler times. It’s even more traditional than Fishin’ Frenzy, but you know what? Sometimes a simple game is where it’s at!
The highest value icon of play is the solitary white wolf, if you can land this rare beast on an active pay line you can expect to gain a meaty 9,500 coin boost and oddly this also acts as the game’s Wild, which substitutes for all icons except the Scatter. Also a wolf in your winning combo doubles your win as an extra boost- now that’ll get you howling!
The other icons are the Shaman of the game’s title, a male feather totting warrior, a squaw woman, a mighty eagle in flight and a mythical white buffalo. The lower value icons are a tepee tent, a hunting knife and sheath, a wild bear hunting in the river, two crossed tomahawk axes, a beaded necklace and a bird-headed totem pole.
The game’s Scatter is a feathery dream catcher to keep the night time beasties away.
Free spins
If the Shaman can you brings his powers to bear on your game then you’ll manage to land three or more Dreamcatcher icons and these in turn will gift you 15 freebie spins to get your cash magically rolling in. And even better, you if you can keep landing those dreamy Scatters then you can re-trigger the free spins feature up to x1 5. The Shaman of the game is a generous fellow, any wins you make in this feature are tripled – just to make sure you’re cashing in on all those good vibes.
Gambling on it!
If all that mystery wasn’t enough for you, if you want to take your chances once again then you can use the Gamble feature which is a picking game with five choices on offer. Pick right and double your dosh, pick wrong and you’ll lose all that hard earned cash so think before you gamble!
