North Guardians slot features

This slot is played on an unusual purple grid with 5 reels and 5 rows. Its features include the Wild Pattern Wheel, Bonus Spins, and Bonus Buy.

Wild Symbols

The Wild symbols replace all regular paying symbols in a winning cluster except the Bonus Spins symbols. It shows up as the Norse god, Odin with a fierce look. It also appears in any position to award up to 15x the stake for 5 matching Wild symbols.

Wild Pattern Wheel

This feature looks similar to one of the features in Eye of Cleopatra. But in North Guardians, its goal is to match 2 halves of the same type of symbol that move on random positions per spin. Once the moving symbols stop on the same cell, they merge to create a whole symbol.

The wheel on the right side of the grid shows patterns with a different number of small Wild symbols. The wheel spins into action with stops in one of the 2 options below:

• Slices that display a Wild pattern
• Slices to levels up

If it stops on a Wild pattern, all present Wild symbols arrange themselves to copy the displayed pattern. The copied Wild pattern can occur in a random place on the reels. But if it stops on a Level up, things get more exciting on the screen as you unlock new Wild patterns. This game comes with 5 levels and each has its different Wild pattern.

The level is selected randomly each time you level up:

• Level 1 = shows Wild patterns with up to 3 symbols
• Level 2 = works with up to 6 Wild symbols in a pattern
• Level 3 = up to 10 Wild symbols create the Wild patterns
• Level 4 = this brings up to 15 Wild symbols in a Wild pattern
• Level 5 = this unlocks the patterns with up to 25 Wild symbols. This last level can cover the entire grid with Wild symbols.

Bonus Spins

Landing 3 Bonus Spins symbols trigger the bonus round that awards 5 Bonus Spins and the wheel starts at level 1. Each wheel spin stops at either the Level up or the Wild pattern. But if you land on the Level up, the levels are triggered in a sequence from level 1 to level 5. Moreover, a new activated level award more Bonus Spins as follows:

• Level 1 to Level 2 = awards 3 Bonus Spins
• Level 2 to Level 3 = awards 2 Bonus Spins
• Level 3 to Level 4 = awards 3 Bonus Spins
• Level 4 to Level 5 = awards 1 Bonus Spin

Bonus Buy

If you are not in the mood to wait until you trigger the bonus round, you can buy it for 100x your stake.
