Troll Hunters Demo Slot - Review for Canadians, Demo Play & Payout Info

Introduction

Troll Hunters from game maker Play’n GO plays out on a reel set with novel pay lines and the player can see immediately that this is going to be a different kind of slot from the norm.

It has a 5x5 reel set and just 3 matching symbols either on a horizontal or vertical line will form a winning combination. The centre symbol of this combination will turn into a wild, the other symbols in the combination will disappear, and symbols will drop down from above to fill the empty spaces and create more blanks above. This process continues until no more wins can be created.

After each drop the winning line will appear in the meter to the left and the multiplier situated above will increase by x1. When the wins end the meter re-sets and clears, the multiplier returning to x1. If you fill the meter and reach the maximum multiplier the game will re-set.

Before symbols drop in the game players will see the position of the symbols which make up the word bonus, which are located randomly on the reels. If you manage to land a series of drops and combinations to empty one of those reels and completely reveal the word 'bonus', you will be awarded 10 free games. If you have managed to clear the entire grid of all symbols you will be awarded a x1000 top win. 

In all there are 9 paying symbols in the base game with the wild the top payer. The 3 warriors Yvla, Borghild and Astrid are the next 3 high value symbols. These are followed by earrings, skull tankards and a ham.

In free games there are 10 paying symbols and the wild does not appear. Our heroines are there, along with symbols depicting their weapons and a lamp to help them hunt the troll. 

If you enjoy Play'n GO free play slots you will find more examples of their work here at Slots Temple, including Play'n GO's Legacy of Dead slot.

Theme, Graphics and Soundtrack 

The theme revolves around the Scandinavian myth of the trolls, and our 3 heroines are on the hunt. Once you see the original grid you will be captivated by the design and the theme tune sets the tone.

Troll Hunters RTP and Variance

The RTP comes in ranges with an average of 94.74% but players should check with the casino they are thinking of visiting. In extended play we viewed the game as medium variance.

Troll Hunters Bonus Features and Free Spins 

When the word BONUS is visible in the base game 10 free spins are triggered. In the bonus phase the reels change and you need to land a minimum of 5 matching symbols, up to 10, anywhere on the grid to form a win. 

The screen is covered in ice and the free games begin when this shatters to reveal the symbols. There is no avalanche element here, and after each game the grid re-fills and the process repeats. The troll appears in these games and if 5 are visible you will get more free spins up to a maximum of 20.

Troll Hunters Review 

We often see upgrades of games, or twists on other designer’s ideas, but when a slot designer comes up with a layout which is something different to spinning reels and avalanches we should take note, and so we suggest you take a look at this game. Players are not going to land enormous wins, but you are likely to enjoy your session.

The up and across winning lines and guaranteed wilds when a win lands is a great idea, and in extended play we found repeat wins came along in line with the variance rating. The bonus game is tricker to land, but the new screen and symbols is entertaining, even though we found the bigger wins tough to land here. There could perhaps be more features, but we feel we can recommend this slot to most players.
