Owl Eye's Slot - NextGen Gaming

Enter the depths of the woods and you will find a pair of big round eyes looking at you, piercing your soul. It’s an owl! These creatures have been for centuries a symbol of wisdom and femininity. Back in Ancient Greece, Athena, goddess of wisdom and strategy, was represented by one of them. In Owl Eyes, NextGen Gaming’s 5 reel video slot, you know that whenever you see those eyes looking back at you, something good is about to come!

This Celtic-inspired game includes a lot of symbolism in its design. It also includes some background music that contribute to the creation of a mystic atmosphere. However, for some reason the music is paused every time the reels stop to show the spin results. Consequently, playing with the sound on may prove not as alluring as in other similar games.

As regards the game mechanics, Owl Eyes slot is a rather traditional five-by-four video slot. You can select up to 50 possible pay lines as well as the coin value for each of your bets. Coin values can be set from 0.01 to 10.00 and these values multiply by the number of pay lines you are playing. This makes Owl Eyes a very flexible slot machine, suitable for budget players and high rollers. As usual, all regular symbol wins on every activated pay line are added up and are counted from the left to right.

High payout symbols include a Druid Tree (a Holy Oak) with a smiling face, a Skunk, a bunch of Mushrooms (Amanita Muscaria), and a Bird’s Feather. Low payout symbols, however, do not correspond to any Celtic, shamanic or esoteric symbols, but to playing card figures: Ace, King, Queen, Jack, Ten and Nine. Their style could be described, though, as Celtic-inspired.

It is also worth mentioning that there are two special symbols in the game: the Owl and the Full Moon. The Owl performs as a Wild, and as such it substitutes for any other regular payout symbols on the reels. Owls appear stacked on the reels, and may cover one entirely. They only appear on the second, third and fourth reel. Whenever an Owl would produce winning combinations, your prize gets doubled!

The Full Moon acts as a scatter. It pays on its own, regardless of whether it has fallen or not on an active pay line. These wins are multiplied by the total amount of money you had put on stake. Three or more of them will activate the Free Games mode. This feature helps boost your winnings! You get five free spins, where additional stacked wilds are added to the reels. If you get three Full Moon symbols during Free Games mode, you can re-trigger this feature indefinitely!

In conclusion, Owl Eyes is a flexible slot machine which can adapt to the needs and wants of different kinds of players. It might not be exactly eye-candy, but it does its job. Of course, you can give it a try and check it out yourself!
