Fantasma Games make use of the fantasy theme very well throughout Serpent Shrine, with the reels cast upon a background of a mystical underworld featuring glowing rocks and an array of beautiful flora. An enchanting soundtrack accompanies your gameplay, to fully set the scene of the mysterious land in which Serpent Shrine is set.

The paytable is divided into 3 sections. Firstly the lower pays that are made up of a rock pick, map and lantern, the medium pays that consist of purple gems, green gems and red gems, and finally the high pays that comprise of the purple skull, green skull, red skull and the top paying symbol the serpent. 

Spinning the reels on Serpent Shrine can begin for as little as €0.20 a play, with the highest possible stake reaching €100. Players will be pleased to see that there are a total of 8 playable stakes that range from €2 down to the minimum stake, this makes Serpent Shrine very accessible to those of all sized bankrolls.

The game begins on Serpent Shrine with only a 108 paylines in play. There are in-fact 19 positions on the reels that are taken up by blocker symbols, and 3 bomb symbols are also present in fixed positions on the reels. When all of these symbols have been removed then the game grid reaches its capacity of 16,807 paylines.

To remove the blockers and the bombs to expand the grid you will need the help of the butterfly wild symbol. When the butterfly is a part of a win it will fly off and unlock 3 random positions on the reels. A respin will then be initiated for the chance of more wins and more butterfly wilds to land.

If the butterfly unlocks a bomb symbol, then surrounding blocks to the bomb will explode and another butterfly will be released and randomly positioned for the following respin.

Triggering the free spin feature on Serpent Shrine is achieved through clearing all of the blocker symbols within the grid. Once this has been done the Snake free spins will be awarded and you will receive 5 free spins to begin with.

The bonus free spin feature takes a bit of a different approach on Serpent Shrine. You will begin your first spin with the full 16,807 ways to win in action. Each spin thereafter will see the serpent begin to eat sections of the playfield and reduce the amount of paylines as it does. The good thing about this is that as the amount of winning ways reduce, the multiplier increases as we have highlighted below.

• 1st Spin - 16,807 paylines & x1 multiplier
• 2nd Spin - 5,400 paylines & x2 multiplier
• 3rd Spin - 2,000 paylines & x5 multiplier
• 4th Spin - 576 paylines & x20 multiplier
• 5th Spin - 108 paylines & x100 multiplier

This unique feature still has a bit of a twist in the tail to it. If you can get the butterfly wild symbols to land in the free spins then they will help you to fight off the advancements of the serpent.

The first two butterflies that land will each destroy the teeth of the snake and cause it to cover less of the playfield. The 3rd butterfly that hits will completely kill the snake and trigger the super free spins.

When the super free spins are active you will receive 2 spins to play with, a 100x multiplier and all of the 16,807 ways to win will be open, giving you the chance to hit a potentially substantial win. 

Fantasma certainly have their own unique style of design when it comes to games, as we have seen previously in some of their Megaways™ Slots. You can't help but feel that titles such as Heroes Hunt Megaways™ have paved the way for the idea behind the excellent Serpent Shrine.

It's always nice to see a different take on a free spin feature, and we really like the direction that Fantasma chose to go with when covering the bonus on this slot. There is certainly big win potential to be had during it and a whole lot of excitement and fun to go with it. 

This is definitely a slot worth trying in our opinion, and as it would seem that the fantasy genre of slot is coming back into fashion, it's clear to us that Fantasma are going to gain a very strong foothold in this niche of game.
