Ancient Eclipse Demo Slot - Review for Canadians, Demo Play & Payout Info

Theme and Graphics

Ancient Eclipse is an online slot from Bang Bang Studios that has been released on Yggdrasil’s Gaming platform. The game has a vibrant look to it, although its aesthetics are a little bit too similar to Gonzo’s Quest and Gonzo’s Quest Megaways. Still, it’s a nice-looking game with some interesting design details that will captivate players.

How to Play

It’s easy to get started playing Ancient Eclipse:

1. After the game loads, click on the three vertical lines above the spin button. From this menu, you can choose to view the paytable, in-depth rules or toggle the sound and spin speed.
2. Decide how much you’d like to wager. You can bet between .20 coins and 100 coins per spin. We always recommend, even when playing for free, to set a bet size similar to what you would wager when playing with real cash.
3. Check out the autoplay options by clicking the button below the spin button.
4. Hit the spin button and enjoy!

RTP and Variance

The RTP of Ancient Eclipse is 96.53%. This is a little bit higher than average, as you tend to see most slots nowadays max out at payout percentages of 96.5%.

Ancient Eclipse is also a medium variance slot, which means you’re likely to land a decent combination of larger and smaller wins. It has a top win of 4595x, which is more than you tend to see in medium variance slots, which is a nice touch.

How to Win

In Wild Eclipse, there are 50 paylines. Winning combinations are made by landing three or more matching symbols across any of the them, and the most generous symbol of the bunch is the wild which pays out a top prize of 10x for a five-of-a-kind combination.

The base game isn’t all that interesting on its own. However, the Wild Eclipse feature adds a little bit of something extra to keep you entertained in between wins.

Wild Eclipse Feature

On any spin, moon symbols can land on the reels. They’ll leave a Sun Frame in the position where they landed which will remain in place until the Wild Eclipse is triggered.

This feature is activated when another moon symbol lands within a frame. Then, all frames that are currently on the screen will turn their symbols wild.

Free Spins

The warrior symbol is the scatter and, when it appears on the middle three reels, you’ll trigger 10 free spins. This is an interesting bonus feature, as it enables you to earn more spins pretty easily.

On any free spins where the Wild Eclipse feature isn’t trigger, any moon symbols that you collect will each provide you with one extra free spin. This allows you to add up quite a few free spins and gives you the opportunity to bag decent prizes if you’re lucky enough.

Overall Review

Ancient Eclipse brings players an interesting online gaming experience. The frames feature isn’t seen all that often in the slots market, so it really sets this game apart from others.

The frames feature is really elevated in the free spins round, as well. Collecting frames in this bonus can lead to even more free spins being awarded, and it’s always a good thing to be able to retrigger bonuses frequently.

However, the gameplay does seem to lag a little bit in some areas. Even though this is a medium volatility slot, there are some long patches of dead spins. And, while the wild frames feature is a nice touch, it’s not all that often that they lead to big wins – even if you’ve collected quite a few.

So, it’s definitely swings and roundabouts when it comes to playing Ancient Eclipse. If you’re looking for a more scaled-back gaming experience, this game will appeal to you; the wild frames offer a bit of extra excitement but it doesn’t exactly play out a like a consistently medium variance game.
