Silver Unicorn - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Silver Unicorn review: introduction

This fantasy themed slot resembles a classic fairy tale with its deep forests, gorgeous colours and magical paytable. A castle pays the most, followed by a fairy, prince, princess and the titular silver unicorn. A goblin also appears, along with a heart and a wise old owl.

There is plenty of magic to be found in Silver Unicorn, not least in the free spins. These are awarded to anybody who manages to land enough rose scatters. Silver Unicorn offers up to 25 free rounds, which come with a 3x multiplier! There are no other bonus games, but the presence of a jackpot loads every spin with tension.

Jackpots won’t be easy to win, of course, but Silver Unicorn’s 25 paylines make landing standard combinations somewhat easier. Autoplay and turbo spin are both available and the slot even allows players to spin using the space bar.

Theme, graphics & design

Harking back to a time of myth, legends and enchanted forests, Silver Unicorn is the slot of choice for anyone who loves a good fairy tale. It is unashamedly ornate, with vines winding around the grid, calligraphy, and a delicate silver and green colour scheme. Even the payline markers are arranged along the trunk of a gnarled oak.

The setting is an enchanted forest, with the cast of characters plucked straight from a Grimm’s fairy tale. The prince and princess are intricately detailed, as are the castle and the unicorn. Silver Unicorn has a dainty, delicate feel that pervades every design decision, from the trees in the background to the vines that cling to the bottom of the grid.

The music is stereotypically fairy tale but certainly works; what’s more, the slot has a big surprise for eagle-eyed players. It isn’t immediately obvious - due to the depth of the forest and the colour scheme - but the unicorn is hidden in the background, grazing amidst an enchanted meadow. See if you can spot him.

Silver Unicorn RTP and variance

Silver Unicorn’s RTP is 94.80 per cent but we don’t have ts volatility rating. Slots from Rival Gaming tend towards medium-high, so this is worth bearing in mind. The top prize for the truly lucky is 15,000x.

How to play Silver Unicorn

Players could spend a long time simply admiring Silver Unicorn’s sumptuous visuals, but these tips will set you on the right path through the woods:

1. Look for the circular control pad to the bottom-left. Select ‘help’ to see the rules, paytable and bonuses.
2. Your stake is displayed on a small bronze coin. You can adjust this using the arrows underneath.
3. Paylines on Silver Unicorn are fully adjustable up to a maximum of 250. Press ‘select lines’ and choose from the options.
4. Autospin is a convenient feature that allows players to pre-program a specific number of spins to play. You will find this option in the lower right-hand corner.
5. Decide on a responsible budget before you start the action.
6. Press ‘play’ to enter the forest.

Bet & win sizes

The lowest stake you can set on Silver Unicorn is 0.01, which can’t be increased by much - only up to 0.25. This is slightly disappointing and might deter some players. Nonetheless, Silver Unicorn offers a more encouraging top single line win of 1,000x for landing five castles. The full paytable for five matching symbols is as follows:

• Castle = 1,000x
• Fairy = 750x
• Prince = 300x
• Princess = 200x
• Unicorn = 150x
• Goblin = 100x
• Heart = 60x
• Owl = 30x

Silver Unicorn’s top prize is an excellent 15,000x, but always remember to be cautious in pursuit of big wins.

Silver Unicorn bonus features

With so much magic in the air, we expected great things from Silver Unicorn’s bonus features. There may only be two, but they certainly lived up to our expectations:

Free spins

The rose scatter is one of the best-looking symbols on the paytable. Not only is it aesthetically pleasing but also it awards free spins as follows:

Five scatters = 5 spins
Four scatters = 10 spins
Five scatters = 25 spins

You can’t really argue with a maximum free spin total of 25, and Silver Unicorn has another reward up its sleeve. All winnings from free spins are multiplied by 3x!

Jackpot

Jackpots are notoriously difficult to win on any online slot, with Silver Unicorn no exception. Nonetheless, it does feature a jackpot prize of 15,000x, but you will need to land five of the rare treasure chest symbols to walk away with this prize. These can land on any spin and your stake doesn’t affect the size of the jackpot.

Final thoughts

Silver Unicorn ticks all the boxes. It features a setting that is truly beautiful and is a wonderful place to while away the time. The soft colour scheme, clinging vines and deep forest background are relaxing. Once you spot the grazing unicorn, the slot feels even more magical.

Free spins and jackpots bring some seriousness to proceedings and raise the tension levels higher. With up to 25 free spins available, there is a lot to play for. The 3x multiplier gives the rounds gravitas. Of course, the jackpot - and the way it is won, simply by landing symbols - injects even more drama into the slot.

This seeming contradiction of a relaxing setting and thrilling gameplay forms the crux of Silver Unicorn. The setting might draw you in, but the action-packed gameplay will hold your interest for the long haul. We only wish that Rival Gaming had included a slightly wider bet range.

If Silver Unicorn leaves you craving a more slapstick take on fairy tales, we can recommend the hilarious Vomiting Unicorns slot.
