Florageddon!

Florageddon! Overview

The plants are finally revolting in a new apocalyptic slot game designed by Yggdrasil: Florageddon! That's right. The natural world is sick of being destroyed and bulldozed for the sake of human consumption. It has taken it upon itself to mutate its plant contingent into terrifying carnivorous monsters bent on eating the human scourge. In terms of how this game looks from a mechanical point of view, this is a five-reel, three-row game with an impressive 243 pay lines. The RTP for this game sits at the industry standard of 96%. Players are able to win prizes of up to 20,000x the stake. This game is compatible with all formats, including laptop, tablet and mobile.

The features of this game start with the two sets of special multipliers that are in action throughout this game. These help to boost wins and grow with every successful consecutive win. The next feature is a set of four modifiers which are awarded for every fourth consecutive win. These modifiers include double wilds, multiplier boosters, wild stacks and an extra life. Finally, this game also has a free spins game, triggered when players land three free spins scatters on the reels simultaneously. All of these features work within a cascade dynamic, which replaces winning symbols with a new set to help players score more wins from the same spin. All features will be explained in more detail later in the review.

Florageddon! Theme and Symbols

This game has something that few games have this day, and that is an original theme. You see so many copycats these days that it's a breath of fresh air when you see something new. This game is themed under the premise that the world has been thrown into disarray by the uprising of dangerous plants which have somehow transformed into horrific monsters. It feels a little like the movie – The day of the Triffids but with a kind of neon colour scheme and more carnivorous flowers than great roots of grasping vine tendrils. The background for this game depicts what a city might look like if human activity ceased for a few years. Roads and buildings have been slowly engulfed and destroyed by the weight of vegetation from the soil underneath. All around the playing board are reminders of what civilization used to look like before this tidal wave of forest and dense natural matter transformed the landscape. These include a yellow taxi, traffic lights and a telephone box. The playing board for this game is a golden rectangle with a simple red triangle pattern.

The symbols are split into low-paying, high-paying and special symbols. The low-paying icons are the J, Q, K and A in playing card royals. The A is the most valuable of these icons, paying out at 0.5x the stake for the top combination. The more valuable icons are the road sign, the clock, the streetlamp, the fire hydrant and the various plants in blue, green, purple and orange. The scary orange sunflower plant is the most valuable icon paying out at 5x the stake for the top combination. The specials for this game are the wild, and the free spins scatter.

Florageddon! Features

The first feature in this game is the multiplier feature. During gameplay, you'll notice multipliers being displayed on the left and right of the playing board. The one to the left is applied to the left to right wins, and the one to the right is applied to the right to left wins. Both-way wins are multiplied by the sum of both multipliers shown. The multiplier sizes grow for every consecutive win cascade that you generate. They will then reset to zero when you lose a spin.

Next are a set of special modifiers. These are monitored via the meter that sits above the reels. With every fourth consecutive cascade (three in the free spins round), one of these modifier awards will be granted to you. There are four of these:

• Multiplier Boost: Both multipliers get boosted by 10x.
• Double Wild: 2 empty positions are filled by a Wild instead of just 1.
• Wild Stack: 6 Wilds will be added to 1 reel at random. You will see three straight away, but the other three will be stacked above and will drop and replace winning symbols removed from that reel.
• Extra Life: A dropdown without a winner will be cleared completely, and a new set of symbols will drop in. This will give you a new chance to win.

Finally, we have the free spins feature. Triggered in this game by landing three scatter icons on the reels simultaneously. However, the more scatters you land to trigger the bonus; the more free spins are awarded to you. In the free spins round, as opposed to the base game, the multipliers do not reset with non-winning spins, meaning wins in the free spins round are usually much more valuable. This game also has golden bet and bonus buy options. However, neither of these are available in the UK.
