About Novomatic

Novomatic is one of the oldest names in casino and online gaming, being founded all the way back in 1980, long before most of the other staples of the industry started life. The company originally created slots machines for land-based casinos, working mainly within the lucrative European gambling sector. Over the years, the company grew and expanded into other markets and other products. Today, Novomatic has offices in over 40 different countries worldwide, and is responsible for some of the best-known games in the business. You'll find Novomatic slots in hundreds of casinos all over the world.

Temple of Secrets design

As with most Novomatic slots, when you launch this game you will immediately notice the attention to detail that has gone into every single aspect of the design. The game's backdrop is an exotic jungle location, complete with lofty trees and huge canopy leaves. The bright green of the backdrops nicely sets off the more varied colours in the main gaming area. The background to the game's five reels is plain black - a little unusual in the slots world these days maybe, as many games go in for much more layered designs. It works in this case, however, as it really helps the symbols stand out and they are, after all, the most important aspect of any slots game.

How to play Temple of Secrets

While this game might seem a little confusing at first, it's really not. It's incredibly easy to pick up and you will be able to get started in no time at all, even if you've never played a slots game before. As with any slot, the first thing to do is set your bet amount to the desired level. Temple of Secrets has an impressive 50 paylines, which means you have a maximum of 50 ways to win with each spin. You do not need to bet on all 50 lines in this game, but doing so will give you the biggest chance of hitting a winning combo. Winning combos pay out from left to right along active paylines.

So, let's say you want to play all 50 lines, because this gives you the best chance of scooping a win. Use the plus and minus buttons alongside the line display at the bottom of the gaming screen to adjust the number of lines. Next, you'll need to decide what size coin you want to bet with. You're betting a coin on each line, so if you have selected 50 lines, you will find you have a minimum total bet of 50p, if you bet at 1p per line. Use the plus and minus buttons alongside the coin size in order to cycle through the available coins. You'll notice the total bet amount displayed changes as you adjust the settings. Keep an eye on this to make sure you don't accidentally bet more than you intend. Once you're happy with the displayed total bet, hit the spin button and watch the reels go.

If you want to use the autoplay feature, you can do so by clicking on the relevant button. A pop-up window will appear, inviting you to choose how many spins you want to set up. The autoplay feature will run until you halt it or until all the predetermined number of spins have been used up.

Temple of Secrets has a total of five reels, with four symbols on each reel. This means 20 symbols are visible at any given time.

If you enjoy this slot, you might also like some of the games based around a fantasy slots theme, such as the hugely popular Secrets of the Phoenix online slot.

The gamble features

Anyone who's played a lot of online slots will probably be familiar with the concept of the gamble feature, which lets you decide between collecting your win and gambling it for a bigger prize. Temple of Secrets has a gamble feature, but it's slightly different from most of those you might have come across previously. Rather than inviting you to choose whether the next card drawn from a deck, for example, is red or black, or asking you to predict whether the next card revealed is going to be higher or lower in value than the last, this game's gamble feature is much more straightforward. If you elect to gamble, you are taken to another screen, which features a large pyramid with the top prize right at the top. You don't need to choose anything other than whether or not to gamble. Each time you gamble, the next layer of the pyramid will be lit up. If the next layer is a "winning" layer, you will again be invited to gamble or collect. You can walk away with your winnings up to this point, or choose to gamble again. If you choose to gamble, the next layer will be revealed. Again, if this is a winning level, the feature continues. This goes on until either you successfully reach the top of the pyramid or you decide to choose to collect rather than gamble.

While the gamble feature can certainly boost your smaller wins into something far more impressive, it's worth bearing in mind that you could easily walk away with nothing of your winning spin. You can choose whether to gamble or collect after every single win and can choose a different option each time if you wish.

Temple of Secrets symbols

The game's most lucrative symbol is the Indiana Jones character himself. As luck would have it, this dashing explorer is also the game's wild, meaning you'll be hoping to see him crop up over and over again. Not only that, but this symbol is the one that can unleash the game's biggest prize - the jackpot. The jackpot is progressive, so expect to see it change even as you're playing the game. You can read more about how to win the jackpot a little further on.

The other symbols are a mixture of items you might associate with the jungles of South America. You'll come across big cats, monkeys, ancient pyramid structures and valuable jewels and relics as you spin the reels. You'll also spot the ubiquitous playing card symbols that are present in so many slots from different developers. You'll find 9, 10, J, Q, K and A here, with the first four all paying out pretty low amounts, even if you land the maximum of five on a single active payline. The K and A pay out a little more, but it's the picture symbols where you can really start racking up decent wins. The lowest paying picture symbols are the jewel and relic, followed by the pyramid symbol. As with the playing cards, you'll need to land three or more of these on a single line in order to get a prize. When you get to the leopard and monkey symbols, however, you only need to land two on a payline in order to get a payout. You'll want to hit five on a single line however to win anything decent.

The game's main character, which is also the wild and the symbol that triggers the jackpot (as discussed further, below) is the highest paying. You'll need three of these on a payline to get a win, but don't forget the game also substitutes all other game symbols except for the scatter, which means you can build up some huge wins, especially if you land several in one spin.

The game's other special symbol is the scatter, which takes the form of a mysterious looking scroll. This can appear anywhere on the reels and pays out scattered, meaning it doesn't have to appear on paylines in order to pay out. You'll need three or more to land a cash prize, with five scatters guaranteeing a generous payout. The scatter also triggers the game's special free spins feature, as outlined below.

Temple of Secrets special features

The game's two special features are the jackpot and the free spins feature. You can find out all about the jackpot below. In order to trigger the free spins feature, you'll need to land three or more scatters anywhere on the reels. These don't have to appear on consecutive reels or on the same payline - they just need to be visible anywhere across the five reels. When you land three or more, the free spins feature will automatically be triggered. You will be awarded 10 free spins. Even more excitingly, you will also have a win multiplier. The multiplier starts off as 2x, meaning each win you record will be doubled. And that's not all - landing extra scatters on the reels during your free session gives you even more free spins and increases your multiplier. Land another three, four or five scatters anywhere on the reels and you'll be given an extra 10 free spins, and your multiplier will increase by one. So, now you're on 20 free spins with a 3x multiplier, meaning every single win is tripled. Land more scatters, and you'll get another 10 spins and a multiplier of 4x. This can carry on all the way up to a multiplier of 10x, which, if you're lucky enough to achieve this, will obviously have massive payout potential!

The ability to retrigger free spins AND increase your multiplier is a huge draw and is pretty unusual among most online slots.

Temple of Secrets jackpot

The progressive jackpot looks a little out of place in this kind of slot, as progressives are usually associated with huge blockbuster games like Playtech's Age of Gods series or the famous Mega Moolah and Jackpot Giant slots. However, while this particular jackpot might not reach the multi-million pounds sums of some other slots, it's a welcome addition that adds to the excitement of Temple of Secrets. The jackpot can be won by anyone on any spin of the reels, so bear this in mind each time you hit the spin button! It couldn't, in theory, be simpler to win, either. There's no jumping through hoops or having to make choices between multiple symbols required here. All you have to do to win the game's jackpot is land a full screen of the game's most valuable symbol - the Indiana Jones type character who is also the game's wild. As the symbols are stacked, this is a definite possibility, although a rather unlikely one. As there are five reels and four active symbols on each reel, you will need to land 20 matching wilds across the reels in order to scoop the top prize. Definitely something to cross your fingers for!

Temple of Secrets on mobile and tablet

Just like all the best slots, Temple of Secrets can be played over a range of platforms. You can play it on your old-school PC or laptop, or on your smartphone, tablet or any other compatible device. All you need is an internet connection, wi-fi or data and you can play wherever you are. You'll experience all the same thrilling gameplay, the same great special features and, if you're playing for real cash, the chance to scoop that progressive jackpot or other big wins. You won't lose any of the game's features, no matter what platform you choose to play on.
