Scotland Creatures - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

Playing this five-reel slot game from Urgent Games is a bit like stepping into an old fairy tale. You are in an ancient forest, where the trees are so thick that you can barely see the light, and the reels are packed with ten strange beings from Scottish folklore. Even without the 20 paylines and multiple bonuses, it would be enthralling. Read our Scotland Creatures slot review to find out more.

Theme, graphics & soundtrack

When Celtic mythology makes it to the reels, it is normally Irish. Who hasn’t seen a slot game with a leprechaun in pride of place? This makes the Scotland Creatures slot a refreshing if slightly creepy change. 

Some of these mythological creatures are more familiar than others. You have probably heard of the Loch Ness Monster and various fairies, brownies and the like. Some are dangerous, while others are mischievous and may try to help you. Perhaps you have heard of kelpies, the horse-like water spirits that try to lure men into the sea, or the ghost lights that are will-o'-the-wisps.

You may not have heard of Baobhan Sith, the vampiric woman in the green dress who seduces and kills men a bit like a succubus; the wolf-headed man known as Wulver; the Blue Men of Minch, the blue-skinned humanoids who live in the waters around the Outer Hebrides and like to drown sailors; shy, kindly Ghillie Dhu, who dresses in leaves and moss; Caoineag, the banshee-like spirit who warns of death; or Cailleach, the goddess who creates and shapes the landscape or a more generic term for a hag or witch. These are rarer and stranger, especially in video slots.

Scotland Creatures RTP and variance

We know the RTP can vary slightly between casinos, which is fine although a bit of a pain to check; however, Scotland Creatures has an RTP of between 85 per cent and 97 per cent. To have 97 per cent would be an incredible figure, but no one wants to play at 85 per cent.

This is especially true when the variance is high and risky. The best idea is probably to play the free no deposit slots version here at Slots Temple without risking your own money.

How to play Scotland Creatures

It takes some bravery to venture into this slot:

1. The first button is a menu. Most video slots put all their information on one paytable; however, the Scotland Creatures online slot splits it into three: features paytable, regular paytable, and paylines tables. Clicking the symbols on the reels also reveals their values.
2. There is a fourth button in the menu: settings, which has separate tabs for music, sound, and full screen.
3. Use the plus and minus symbols to adjust your bet to a sensible level. You could hit the max bet button, but be aware that this will immediately spin the reels.
4. Now choose between spin and autospin. Bear in mind that autospin doesn’t have limits, so you will still have to watch it to ensure you stay within your budget.

When the fun stops, stop playing. Remember that timeout and self-exclusion functions are available if needed. 

Bet & win sizes

A bet range of 0.10 to 50.00 is available. Even no deposit slots require you to make a bet.

This is the paytable for the base game, which changes slightly during the free spins. We have shown you the top values only for a five-symbol payline:

• Kelpie, Ghillie Dhu = 50
• Fairy (Seelie), Brownie = 100
• Blue Men of Minch = 200
• Cailleach, Baobhan Sith = 300
• Caoineag = 500
• Wild man = 1,000
• Will-o'-the-wisp wild = 5,000

Scotland Creatures bonus features

Bonus

You might remember us mentioning the Loch Ness Monster earlier. Whilst Nessie is shy, you may be wondering why you haven’t seen her since. This is because she is not a paying symbol; instead, she is the bonus, which is something we like to see in video slots. Few people can claim to have seen Nessie three times, but this is exactly what you need for her to pay out.

Free spins

There is also a separate free spins feature triggered by Wulver the wolfman. Again, you need to land him at least three times. During the free spins, wilds lose their paying value but become sticky and remain in place.

Scotland Creatures review: our verdict

Scotland Creatures is the most atmospheric slot game we have played in a long time, completely different to the likes of the Gonzita's Quest slot. It immerses you in its world to the point you forget there is anything else. Every creature is a captivating mix of fascinating and creepy, and it is even better because they are not the spirits and monsters we are used to seeing. Whilst the game could explain itself better in the paytable, or add a help page, the gameplay is thrilling.
