Game Provider: Leander Games

Overview

Fortune Teller’s Charm created by Leander Games, is an online slot created for those who believe that their future holds great riches. However, whether that confident prediction proves true or not is up to the discretion of the red-haired beauty of the reels – the fortune teller herself. As far as layout is concerned, players are presented with a 5-reel, 3-row board that is bright, crisp and clean. The whole gimmick (although a bit cheesy) is pulled off well and makes for an entertaining gaming experience.

When it comes to features, there are a few interesting ones for players to get involved in. These include a wild multiplier bonus, meaning that any win that contains a wild has the payout doubled. You can also collect crystal ball scatter symbols to trigger the bonus spins round feature. Every win in the free spins round is multiplied by 3. The bonus free spins round can also be retriggered from within the bonus itself.

Theme and Symbols

The thematic linchpin of this game is the fortune teller, her influence informs the rest of the elements for this slot which are concerned with aesthetic design. Leander Games have broken the usual tradition of a wise old women as the fortune teller in favour of a rather young and beautiful character. Although who knows, she may be wearing a magical disguise.

The background for this game naturally is a forest in the back and beyond where one assumes the fortune teller’s gipsy wagon resides. From here she lures fatalists from near and far. You can piece together the background’s location by the leafy foliage to the left and right of the reels and the lake in the middle. Strangely, the whole background has been coloured in a purple hue. Perhaps this is to give the game an air of the supernatural.

The gaming board on the other hand is relatively simple. 5 bright white reels are separated by thin lines of gold. The choice of white for the board makes the symbols pop off the screen in a rather inviting way. Not much else can be said about it apart from that it shines as though a floodlight is blasting the board straight on.

There is a total of 13 different symbols for this game. These comprise of yellow 9s, which are the lowest paying symbol, then red 10s, blue Jacks, and green Queens. Green Queen pay 10x for a matching set of five on a payline. Next in line are the red Kings and purple Aces. Up next value-wise are the silver coin and the four-leafed clover. Above these are the golden horseshoe, the ladybug and the rabbit’s foot. The most valuable symbols are the fortune teller wild and crystal ball scatters, which can provide up to 500x to 900x your total bet.

Game Play

Fortune Teller’s Charm is played on a 5-reel, 3 -row game board with a total of 50 bet ways. To create a winning combination, players need to land a minimum of 3 matching symbols or wilds across the board from left to right. The betting range for Fortune Teller’s Charm is 10p to £50 per spin.

To change the stake levels, players can use the tool located on the left-hand side of the reels which is easily identifiable as a pile of coins. The spin and auto spin buttons are located on the right-hand side of the reels.

For the paytable and other information, players should click on the small menu icon at the top left-hand side of the screen. The return to player percentage for Fortune Teller’s Charm is 95.14%, which is a little below average. The volatility is rated in the medium to high range of the spectrum. The maximum win that is achievable for this game is a decent 9,000x your total stake.

Features

The features for this game are a little thin on the ground, however, the ones they have chosen to incorporate do add a little bit of excitement to the game as well as potential payout boosts.

The first feature concerns the red-haired fortune teller character who is the wild for this game. The wild has two functions in Fortune Teller’s charm. The first is that it will replace other symbols (bar the scatter) to help form wins across the board. The other function is that when it is part of a win, that win’s payout is subjected to a x2 multiplier, doubling the payout.

The second feature is attached to the scatter symbol. The scatter in this game as you’ll remember from the information above is the purple crystal ball. Landing 3 of these symbols on the reels simultaneously will trigger the free spins round. Players will then be granted 15 free spins. However, to spice things up a little more, Leander Games have attached a x3 multiplier to any win that is formed in the bonus round.

You can retrigger the free spins round from within the bonus by landing an additional 3 scatters on the reels. If this should happen, players are rewarded with a fresh set of 15 free spins. The number of times that you can retrigger this bonus is unlimited.

Conclusion

Fortune Teller’s Charm is probably best for a lazy Sunday afternoon’s betting when you don’t feel like concentrating too much. The twinkling music, clear and crisp symbols and simple features are all conducive to a relaxing gaming experience that everyone can enjoy. That being said, a top payout of 9,000x your stake is nothing to be sniffed at.

Introducing Leander Games’ new slot: Way of the Labyrinth

Ancient Greece. One of the most interesting eras of history for so many. This is primarily due to the extensive Greek mythology of Zeus, Hades, Poseidon, Hera and the plethora of other gods and goddesses. Not only that, but the many stories of mortal beings venturing on intrepid quests and beating death himself, like that of the Aeneid, give onlookers a belief of how incredibly brave and courageous the Ancient Greeks were.

Another thing that shows how incredibly brave these Greeks were, was the maze that was ordered to be built. Designed by Daedalus, this maze was aptly named the Labyrinth, and this is where Leander Games got the inspiration for their brand-new slot. Originally built for Crete after the birth of the Minotaur, a half bull half human creature, born of an affair of Pasiphae and a Cretan Bull that was not sacrificed. Daedalus was also imprisoned in this maze with the Minotaur but was given his own workshop.

This Labyrinth is the premise for this slot, with Greek mythology encapsulating the symbols and influences the entire slot. The background of the reels is mountains and darkening skies, with the walls of the maze just visible at the base of the slot. The reels themselves are in the typical Ancient Greek style, with pale pink and blue marble surrounding the deep burgundy backing of the reels themselves.

With a plethora of legendary creatures filling the grid, we are already in love with Leander Games’ Ways of the Labyrinth slot. Read on to hear more about the features and potential this slot has to offer.

Bets and statistics

The betting range for the slot isn’t incredible, we will say that. While we love the actual slot, the betting side of things disappoints us a little. Starting off at 25p, the bets only go as high as £12.50, which doesn’t seem huge in comparison to slots on the market today that reach £200+. However, it does make it the perfect slot for a player to start out on.

The highest jackpot available is 200 times the stake that the player chooses. This means that the highest potential win from this slot is £2,500. While it’s not great, it’s a good start for the players who haven’t played a huge number of slots in the past.
Finally the RTP (return to player) is set at 95.89%, which means that you can win approximately £95.89 for every £100 you put in. However, this is based on millions of spins, and since the whole concept of slots is randomness, you never know what you could win!

Greek symbols

The symbols are all derived from the Greek mythology and therefore there is no royals here. Instead, the lower paying symbols are shown as letters from the Greek alphabet, each two-toned, with stunning colours bringing vibrancy to the reels.
The higher paying value include Cerberus, the Minotaur, Medusa, and the logo of the slot. For those of you who do not know, Cerberus is the three-headed dog that guards the underworld, and Medusa, also known as the Gorgo, was one of three women who had living venomous snakes in place of their hair, a simple eye contact turning you to stone.

The only other symbol is the wild which is shown as the top side of the Labyrinth and this has the ability to replace all other symbols except for the bonus symbol which helps trigger the Free Spins feature. Replacing other symbols gives the player a higher chance of creating winning combinations.

Main features for the player

There are a couple of mythological bonuses which are mini features and can be activated on any given spin. The first is the Medusa Wilds, which sees any Medusa symbol on the reels turning into a wild. The next is a Minotaur Mystery sees random symbols turn into matching ones. Finally there is the Infectious Cerberus, which sees random symbols exploding and causing neighbouring ones to transform into matching symbols.

The Respin Feature is next and may activate if one or two Free Spins symbols land in view. The reels containing these symbols will lock in place while the others will respin. The main aim of this feature is to give you enough free spin symbols to trigger the main Free Spins feature.

To trigger this, you will need at least six of the Free Spin scatter symbols to land anywhere on the reels. Landing six scatters gives 10 free spins, while seven or eight awards the player 12 free spins. Nine to eleven of these scatters offers 15 free spins, while twelve to twenty sees the player given 25 free spins to play with.

During the Free Spin round, Medusa may turn into a wild and have a multiplier of up to 2x together, and more than one can become multiplied together. If Free Spins symbols land during this round, but there is not enough to retrigger the feature, i.e. less than six land, then these scatters will also turn into wilds to aid the player in their quest for big wins.

Concluding the Ways of the Labyrinth

This slot is incredible. The betting range isn’t incredible, but the rest of the slot is amazing. The graphics are stunning, making the player feel fully at home in the Ancient Greek realm. With the potential wins sitting lower than we’d like, the features really amp up the fun-value, with stunning respins and free spins for the player to enjoy. Whether Ancient Greek mythology interests you, or you just need a slot to start you off, this is definitely one we’d suggest.

An overview of Lucky Strike slot

Leander Games has been moving more and more towards front lining the new era of modern slots, taking poll position in the field among other large companies. In the light of this, the team at Leander Games have brought out a stunning new slot called Lucky Strike. Obviously influence by the gem gamers that flaunted yesteryear, both in online gaming and video games in general, such as Bejewelled Blitz and similar, this slot brings it back in a new light.
Is this enough? Is bringing back the past enough to create a special new slot for the player? Unfortunately, the theme is not enough to carry the slot alone, however, the slot has a certain appeal with the entertainment and the game is attractive and interesting.

The system is played on a total of 6 reels and 4 reels. This way of paying is different than we have experienced before. There is a unique way of winning, instead of normal pay lines this slot utilises the scatter wins.
If you want to know what awaits you, then read on below as hidden within the caves of the gems, there are interesting reels, good pay systems in place and wins that will surprise all players.

Betting Range for Lucky Strike

The betting range for this slot is from 25p and increase up to a maximum of £50, which gives the player a reasonable field of movement for their betting fun. While higher betting players might not like the small betting range, but at the same time, the slot is perfect for the smaller betters.
However, the saving grace of this slot is that the return to player (RTP) is above the average that we would usually find in slots of today’s modern gaming industry. It sits at about 96.5%, which is higher than we would expect, and it is a pleasant surprise for us as players. While the return to player is higher than average, the volatility is a little lack lustre settling more in the middle.

Symbols and designs of the slot

The background of this slot shows off an extremely elaborate mining system, which gives the player an exciting backdrop to their exciting game. It also adds to the illusion that there is plenty of gems up for grabs for the player and helps prove to the player there is a number of gems to scatter the reels.
Every single one of the symbols are different, this being in sort and in colour, with icons such as diamonds, emeralds, rubies and more filling the reels in clusters. The colours are so incredibly bright, they blind the player as they play, enticing the player into the slot.

The sound effects that play during the slot, in particular the music which matches the level of the effects, gives the player even more of an enjoyment into the slot. The game is light in terms of animations and there seems to be no need for them in the slot.

Features for the player to enjoy

The main feature of the slot is the massive diamond that can be found in the central position on the main reels. There are smaller ones that are flanked by other ones, which act in sync to launch the main feature that the game comes with: whenever the big symbol matches with smaller ones, a respin will begin to play.

The respin for the slot is set into motion when this big symbol matches with the smaller ones, and therefore, all the matching symbols that were used to trigger the feature are locked in place. If a new symbol falls onto the reels and is the same as the ones that are locked on the reels then an additional new respin is awarded to the player. Meanwhile, as this happens, the multiplier count will continue to keep going up, one step with each win, continuing all the way to five counts. Wins are counted up at the end of every single spin, and there is a technicality that the player could create this respin up to 16 times in a row.

Conclusions of the slot

Lucky Strike gives the player an interesting combination of a relatively classic theme that almost all players know very well. Interestingly, there is a ‘diamonds are forever’ attitude about the slot, with a never-ending theme that will always crop up for the players of slots to enjoy.

While it is a relatively simple game, complete with unimaginative features, but an interesting concept of scatter pays and the individual reels. Perhaps this is not the first time that the player has experienced gems and jewels in a grid slot, it certainly will be the first time that scatter pays, individual reels and more have come together in one slot for the player’s enjoyment.

Welcome to the Wild West Zone slot

Wild West Zone from the gaming development team at Leander invites you to join the sheriff and try to land a jackpot or two. Predominately a cowboy adventure this slot is complete with some unusual gameplay.

There are also re-spins, sticky wilds and free spins which play over expanded reels that offer an enormous 117,649 ways to win and if this is not enough there are boosting expanding multipliers in the free spins too.

Theme and Design

When it comes to theme the Wild West Zone is a comic book creation of a dusty frontier town. The visuals and audio are excellent, and the town looks identical to what you would expect to see with the backdrop being a perfect recreation of a wild west movie. The visuals could come courtesy of any quality comic book and the banjo soundtrack is an excellent accompaniment to create the perfect ambience.

Wild West Zone can be played on all devices which is perfect as it provides you with the opportunity and freedom to play whenever and wherever you wish.

Gameplay and Bets

Wild West Zone plays out over 5-reels with each reel having the capacity to showcase 3 – 5 symbols. You can create wins when you land the same symbols next to each other from left to right. When it comes to placing your bet you can bet a minimum of 10p per spin up to a maximum of £20 per spin and you can adjust the bet level using the pile of coins that are situated in the left hand corner of your game screen. There is also an auto play function should you prefer to sit back and watch the action unfold. The auto play function can be set to spin between 5 – 100 spins and there is also the opportunity for you to create win and loss limits. The return to player is on the low side and sits at 95.82% and this is a volatile slot with high variance. If you land the perfect symbol and multiplier combination you will land the maximum win of 7,794x your bet.

Symbols

When it comes to the game symbols you can expect to come across the lower paying symbols which are the usual playing cards from 10 through to Ace as well as a revolver, cowboy boots complete with spurs, a bottle of whiskey and sticks of dynamite. The sheriff’s badge is the highest paying standard symbol and if you land combinations of 3, 4, 5 or 6 symbols you will be rewarded with 0.75x, 1.25x, 2x or 5x your stake. The wild is represented by the sharpshooter and although it does not offer any pay outs as such it can substitute for all the symbols to create winning combinations.

Bonus and Features

The slot offers the Dynamic Ways engine which makes it unique and the other highlights include free spins with expanding multipliers and re-spins. The slot plays out over the five reels and the number of symbols per reel is dependent on whether they land in the Dynamic highlighted Zone, this varies from 3 – 5 and has an impact on the number of ways available for you to win, and this process is the Dynamic Ways feature.

Next is the most wanted re-spins feature and this is activated if you land a wild in the Dynamic Zone but there is no win created. The wild is held on the reels and the reels spin again and should you land another wild are rewarded with a multiplier that goes up in 1x increments. The re-spins continue until there is no new win landed and the final winnings are paid plus the active multiplier. The free spins symbol is represented by the stage coach which land on the 1st and 3rd reels however if you only land the symbol on the 1st reel you are rewarded with a consolation prize whilst the multiplier that is located at the side of your reels will increase by x1 when you activate the free spins.

The Canyon Heist Free Spins Bonus feature is activated when you land scatters in the Dynamic Zone on your 1st, 3rd and 5th reels on the same spin and you are then rewarded 8 free spins and there are lots of extras available in this feature too including starting the feature with any multipliers you have accrued in the base game.

Every time you manage to land either the Most Wanted Re-spins or the Something For Nothing features (explained above) during the free spins, your multiplier increases by 1x, and you can also reactivate the feature and if you land scatters on your 2nd, 4th and 6th reels you are rewarded with a further 8 free spins.

Conclusion

Wild West Zone with its Dynamic Ways plays in the same style as the Megaways slots and really helps to keep things moving forwards. Wild West Zone is the second in the series of Dynamic Ways slots from Leander Games with the first being Gem Zone. The features on offer are excellent and you will find the Canyon Heist Free Spins Bonus feature will give you the best win possibilities.

I really enjoyed playing this slot and whilst it may not be the most perfectly polished slot when it comes to the imagery but the comic book design and suitable banjo playing soundtrack really do add that something extra to create the perfect ambience to play within. This may not rank as highly as some of the Leander games, but you can rest assured that it is as much fun.

Introducing Starstacks from Leander Games

There are two sides to Starstacks the latest slot from the development team at Leander Games, one side is the free spin feature and pick me bonus game and the other is the stacks of wilds which are available every time the wild symbol lands on your 2nd, 3rd or 4th reels.

You can select the bet amount simply by pressing the coin button that is in the bottom left corner of your game screen, this opens and there is then a moveable slider to choose your bet. The lowest bet stands at 50p per spin and although this is not a small amount it is in view of the bonus and extra features this slot offers. The highest bet is £500 per spin (great for the high rollers) but there are a variety of bet increments between the lowest and highest.

If you feel that you want to watch the game unfold before you can put the slot into auto play using the button in the upper right corner of your screen, here you will find a dot on a slider that lets you set your auto play from 5 to 100 automatic spins and then press the large spin button.

To win you need to land three or more of the same symbols and pay outs can be created on any one or more of your pay lines. Starstacks has a wild symbol which can substitute for any other symbols on the pay table apart from the two bonus symbols. The star is the wild (hence the name of the slot) and will always land as a stacked symbol but will only land on your 1st, 3rd and 5th reels.

The highest paying symbol in this slot is the blue coloured diamond which will reward you with 1,000x your stake for landing five on a pay line and equates to 20x the winning bet. The red 7s pays 500x on a pay line and equates to 10x your bet. The fruit symbols pay lower amounts that range between 100x and 200x your winning pay line bet.

Bonus Features

Starstacks offers players two bonus features and both can be activated with three or more of their respective scatter and bonus symbols. These are as follows:
Free spins – The free spins bonus symbol only appear on your 2nd, 3rd and 4th reels but can land on any of your rows to activate the free spins. Landing 3, 4 or 5 will pay you with 3x, 25x and 100x your winning bet respectively. No matter how many free spin symbols you land you will immediately be awarded 12 free spins which also provide a 2x multiplier.
The other feature is the Star Card Bonus – When you land three of the bonus symbols anywhere on your reels the pick-me bonus is activated and you then have to make selections from the ten star cards to uncover multipliers which are then used to make up your winnings.

Conclusion

If you are looking for a classic yet retro styled slot this will be the one for you, as it is a fast-paced slot that really packs a punch! There is some great symbol pay outs as well as the scattered wins and all the respective bonus features that it has on offer.

I really enjoyed Starstacks and all it has to offer, I have always been partial to slots that give you a chance to play for free as this provides you with the opportunity to get to grips with the slot before you have to risk any of your own money. I recommend this slot to all players as it really has got everything going for it.

Introduction to Diamond Symphony Slots

A celebration for all things futuristic and funky, Leander Games has developed Diamond Symphony. With a relatively simple concept and gameplay, the eye-catching visuals of bright neon colours draw the player in and entice them to play. The infectious 90s soundtrack brings the slot to life and gives an added bonus for any player from that decade and before.
With 20 pay lines, this slot is set over 5 reels and 3 rows. Aimed clearly at music fans of all types, but focusing mainly on the 1990s, Diamond Symphony is a combination of a classic slot with a couple of added extras.

Leander Games are clearly experimenting with new graphics and themes, and if we’re honest: We love it. A classical music theme, alongside a 90s soundtrack and funky visuals give the player something exciting to sink their teeth into.

Symphony symbols

All the symbols for this slot are incredibly well designed, with stunning graphical input and beautiful musical theme running throughout.
The lower paying symbols of the slot are shown as treble clef, a quarter note, an eight note and a sixteenth note. These are an interesting variation on the classic royals and suits. The higher paying symbols of Diamond Symphony include incredible grand pianos, trumpets and violins, among others.

Finally, the wild symbol is depicted as a shadowy conductor which can take the place of any of the regular symbols in order to form more winning combinations.
All of the symbols are stunning, with quality graphics and a running theme that helps to join the slot together.

Pay outs of the slot

During the base level game, the lower paying symbols can offer the player between 0.2 and 10 times the stake when making a winning combination. The violin and trumpet will both pay out up to 15 times the wager for five in a row, while the grand piano offers a top prize of 20 times the bet. The highest paying symbol is the diamond, which can offer 25 times for a winning combo of 25 times.

Musical features

The base game is enjoyable without the features but add them in and there’s plenty for the player to get into. From free spins to re-spins and more, read below the features that make this slot so special.
Since it didn’t catch our attention for a while, it may not have caught yours. On the side of the screen, is a bar to indicate the number of free spins that the player could potentially win.

For each consecutive win during the base game, the number of free spins increases further. It is possible to be handed plenty of free spins: 7, 10, 12, 18 or 25 free spins. There is a ladder on the right side of the screen that indicates the multiplier level. The indicator climbs one step for every free spin the player has; an additional x1 is added each time the free spin meter reaches the top.

One other feature which is unique to this slot is the ‘Encore Mode’, which can open the door for even more free spins and multipliers. Retriggering the Free Spins whilst in the free spins round is possible and the door is then opened for the player to win even bigger wins.

Concluding this slot

Diamond Symphony brings a new twist to the classic slot machine with a classical theme we have yet to see done before. While there may be similar slots out there, this is the first we’ve come across that does the theme so well.
