Syncronite

Introducing Syncronite free slot

Syncronite is the latest slot offering from the software development gaming team at Yggdrasil Gaming and uses the Splitz dynamic following in the footsteps of Temple Stacks and Neon Rush Splitz. The slot includes the expanded reel function which has been popularized by Big Time Gaming and their unique Megaways mechanic. To date all the Splitz slots are totally different from each other with Temple Stacks using an American jungle thing, Neon Rush Splitz Tron inspired and now there is Syncronite. If you are ready, we can take a better look and see how Syncronite fares against the ever-expanding competition.

Theme & Design

The name of this slot gives nothing away and you may not be prepared for the chic sophistication combined with a touch of Art Deco that Yggdrasil has decided to use. I think one way to describe this would be entering a land based darkened casino with thick shaggy walls, where there is a big bouncer deciding who can be admitted and who cannot. Regardless, the visual design the developers have created is truly phenomenal and this is what puts this slot right up in the top-ranking slots in terms of design in the synced reels genre.

Symbols

A visit to the pay table shows that the symbols used in this slot are familiar and totally in keeping with the whole theme. The low paying symbols are represented with the playing card suits, clubs, diamonds, hearts, and spades which are printed on a set of casino chips. The high paying symbols are made up of the dice, cherries, bells, and sparkly diamonds. The value of the symbols is not as high as you may expect, but they are acceptable when they land in the features as they add some spice in more ways than one. Plus, landing six of any of the higher paying symbols will provide you with a reward from 1x – 10x your stake.

Gaming Experience

When it comes to playing the slot providing you can make it to the inside you will be treated to an unusual set up that comprises of 6-reels, 3-rows and 729 ways to win at least in the beginning. There is bronze coloured trim that outlines everything whilst the background is a deep plum purple and looks like velvet drapes of sorts. Although this is very stylish the style is not the most mind blowing.

When you are ready to play the first thing you need to do is choose the bet range you are most comfortable playing with. The bet levels start from a minimum of 10p per spin up to £10 per spin and it may not be that appealing to high rollers and it is not what fans of Yggdrasil are used to, however the potential is immense. When it comes to volatility this slot is rated as high and this combined with the power of the Splitz mechanic does mean that the wins can go into overdrive, although the return to player could be better as it stands at just 96% which is slightly lower than the average competitor slots available. There is a hit rate of 27.34% which translates theoretically as a win less than every four spins.

It is easy enough to land a win, but the slot does have rather interesting things that can enhance the win values. As there are no defined pay lines so provided you land identical symbols that are side by side starting from the first reel and you have got yourself a win! You need to land three of a kind for all the symbols except for the diamond symbol where you only need to land two.

Features

The lack of a bonus game is what presents this slot from gaining the title of feature rich. However, what the slot does can be highly effective when it is pushed. The focus us in the Splitz feature and it needs to work hand in hand with Synced reels. The Splitz feature can come into play on any spin where you land two to six Splitz symbols land on your reels, these are full reels covered with gold lion symbols and when these land they split into up to 8 if the same pay symbols.

The Synced Reels do exactly what they say they do, and the feature synchronises two to six reels being identical in the spin. You can land Splitz symbols to land on Synced Reels and as the saying goes, ‘the more sync - the bigger the wins.’
There is a demo play version of this slot and I would urge all players to make use of this to learn exactly what the mechanics of the game do and exactly how everything pans out. Having the opportunity to play the demo also gives you the opportunity to decide whether you are happy to risk

Final Thoughts

Syncronite has become available at the same time as another title that players have been waiting for that also uses the synchronised reels this being Twin Spin Megaways from NetEnt and whether this is coincidence I do not know but it is a little surprising that these two slots end up going head to head when they both offer similar features. NetEnt relies on the Megaways mechanic and Syncronite adds the Splitz Symbol mechanic.

It is true that the slot on paper does sound complicated and although it does provide a level of sophistication this is a straight forward game. It has all the elements to provide some great game play and is very enjoyable too. If you feel that you can handle what this slot has to offer it is down to you to hit the play button and keep your hopes for the best and remember that it only takes one lucky spin to change everything which is better than thinking better luck next time.
