Theme – head deep inside crystal caves for riches

With a mysterious theme, the Crystal Golem slot is based on a golem which is an “animated, anthropomorphic being” that is popular in Jewish folklore (according to Wikipedia). These humanlike creates are created from clay or mud and have appeared in medieval writings and even in Norse mythology where they helped troll Hrungnir in a battle with Thor. Odd I know.

Set in a crystal cavern, you’ll see a predominantly pink backdrop with green crystals to the side of the reels. The soundtrack has an 80s/retro vibe and could easily be taken from an episode of Stranger Things. Visually, the main symbols move adding depth and character.

takes you on a journey through a world of potatoes that you never knew existed. Yes, quite an odd concept but hats off to Print Studios for trying something unique. Potatoes are extremely popular in modern times due to their versatility and ability to be used in many different food dishes.

On the reels, you will see Ace, King, Queen and Jack royals which don’t look like the A, K, Q and J symbols you’ll come across in countless other slot games. Higher value symbols include water mushrooms, gold mushrooms, fire mushrooms, crystal bats and stone snakes. The stone snake is the best paying symbol with 0.75, 5 or 20 x bet awarded with 3, 4 or 5 across a payline.

Look out for the Golem Wild symbol which substitutes for all paying symbols above. Importantly, 3, 4 or 5 wilds in combination will award 1, 10 or 50 x bet respectively. Finally, the other symbol of note is the Vortex Scatter which is key to triggering the Evolution Spins feature.

Crystal Golem Mobile

Released on the 12^th of October 2021, the Crystal Golem slot was made using HTML5 technology. Optimised for mobile, tablet, laptop and PC devices, you can enjoy mobile play via iOS, Android and Windows operated smartphones. Truth be told, it looks superb on any device you opt for.

Crystal Golem Bonus Features

The Crystal Golem slot comes with a quartet of bonus features. It comes with cascades for successive wins and SuperSpinner multipliers which can combine up to 400x. In the Evolution Spins feature, Golem Wilds can upgrade themselves and reels meaning Golem Wilds remain in position for up to 2 winning combinations they are part of.

Cascade feature

When a winning combination is created, the Cascade feature applies. Winning symbols disappear with the remaining symbols falling into the empty positions. New symbols then drop in/cascade from above to fill the newly vacated spaces. The cascades continue until no more new wins are formed. This is a staple of most Megaways slots by the way.

SuperSpinners feature

Featuring in the Royal Potato slot, you will notice 10 SuperSpinner positions between the reels. If a winning combination passes through a SuperSpinner, the SuperSpinners feature is triggered. The winning combination will then be subject to the value on the SuperSpinner.

Multiple SuperSpinners can apply to the same winning combination allowing for big wins. You can benefit from 400x multipliers overall basically.

Evolution Spins feature

The Evolution Spins feature is activated when 3 or more Vortex Scatter symbols appear anywhere on the reels. 3, 4 or 5 scatters will give you 8, 12 or 16 free spins respectively.

During the free spins, SuperSpinners can become ‘charged’ with a green flame. If a charged SuperSpinner comes into direct contact with a Golem Wild symbol, it upgrades the Golem Wild symbol and the reel it is occupying to Stage 2. This means the Golem Wild Stage 2 symbol remains in place until part of a winning combination. Any new Golem Wilds appearing on an upgraded reel also become Golem Wild Stage 2 symbols meaning they persist in place until part of a win.

If a charged SuperSpinner comes into contact with a Golem Wild Stage 2 symbol, it upgrades the symbol to a Golem Wild Stage 3 symbol with the reel also upgrading. Golem Wild Stage 3 symbols stay on the reels for 2 winning combinations.

Furthermore, upgrading all 5 reels to Stage 2 will see you win an additional 4 free spins. You can repeat the process (upgrading all reels to Stage 3) for 4 more free spins. This means 24 free spins potentially.

For non UK slots players, there is Bonus Buy feature option. Click on the Bonus Buy button and pay 100 x your total bet for guaranteed entry to the Evolution Spins feature. The RTP will also increase up to 96.99%.

Crystal Golem Review Summary – cascades + SuperSpinners combine for hidden riches

The Crystal Golem slot may have been Print Studios’ second release but the introduction of SuperSpinners makes quite the splash. With many slot providers offering cascades or avalanches, Print Studios has combined these with SuperSpinner multipliers if winning combinations pass through them.

Visually superb, I love the 80s style soundtrack which really adds to the atmosphere. If this is anything to go by, Print Studios slots will surely impress players in future. When you land a winning combination, every win is clearly visible with the SuperSpinners feature taking centre stage. I’m curious to see how Print Studios can develop this mechanic/feature in future though.

In the Evolution Spins feature, landing Golem Wilds will upgrade a reel as well as wilds into Golem Wild Stage 2 symbols. With upgrades awarding extra free spins and seeing the Golem Wilds remain in place for up to 2 winning combinations, it’s the SuperSpinner multipliers which pack the real punch.

Offering 20,758 x bet max wins, the Crystal Golem slot looks great, has enticing gameplay and offers a unique approach to cascades, multipliers and free spins.
