Regal Inferno Dream Drop Slot — Regal Inferno D...Relax Gaming

Game Overview

I’m sure we’ve all been guilty of daydreaming at some point, thinking of laying on a tropical beach, sipping a cocktail, hopping on our private jet, and flying off around the world. Yes, these are dreams that some would consider to be epic, unless you’re a sloth in a Relax Gaming slot, of course. In that case, you’d fantasise about owning an amusement park, calling it Epic Dreams, and welcoming visitors to enjoy the rides and tranquil surroundings that it’s set in. Well, that’s the theme, then, but how about the stats? We have ourselves a 6-reel slot with up to 117,649 paylines, an RTP of 96.10%, and a maximum win of 5,000x bet.

There looks to be a lot going on in the background of the game, and the same can be said for the slot itself. The player favourite cascading reels engine is included, removing winning symbols from the playfield with new symbols then falling from above for more chances to win. However, the main attractions at Epic Dreams are the two bonus rounds awarded when the grid is completely cleared of all blocker symbols. First, we have the Dig Bonus, where clearing 50 levels of blocks will reveal the jackpot stone for you to try and collect. Secondly, there’s the Build Bonus, with players climbing multiplier levels each time they fill a row with winning symbols. As if that wasn’t enough, both features can be triggered in standard and super form

When was the last time you had a trip out to your favourite theme park? If it’s been getting on for a while, save yourself a few pennies and make the most of our Epic Dreams demo slot. It might not be the white knuckle ride you’re seeking, but it is free of charge to play.

Epic Dreams Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols

Epic Dreams slot paytable

Slot themes are a funny thing, and I often sit and wonder when reviewing games how the creative team and people behind the studio finally arrive at a creation they all agree on. Yeah, I get it; Sloths have been popular in modern culture of late, but giving them their own amusement park? It must have been a heavy night out before this one was pitched. Variety is the spice of life, though, as they say, so I’m all for these weird and wacky ideas, and you’ll find many free casino online slots here on our site that are different from the norm. A couple of examples so you don’t just think I’m full of hot air are our Dork Unit slot demo from Hacksaw Gaming is one such theme you’d never expect to come across, whilst the San Quentin slot demo from Nolimit City is another title that might raise an eyebrow when you bump into fictional characters such as Beefy Dick. Oh, we have a mixed bag, alright, but for the time being, let’s get our tickets stamped, gain entry to Epic Dreams and learn more about its features.

We’ll begin at the paytable where the highest paying symbol is the Sloth, who will return 4x the bet for a winning connection of six. The remaining premium symbols then come in the form of coloured gems, with the Red, Orange, Green and Purple Gems paying 1.5x, 1.2x, 1x, and 0.8x, respectively, if six match across a payline. Next, we have the low pays represented by the card suits, where the Heart, Spade, Diamond and Club share payouts of 0.4x the bet for a six of a kind win. The slot also features a Wild symbol, which will substitute for all other regular in-game symbols.

We’ve become accustomed to Relax Gaming slots presenting players with a vast amount of options to choose from regarding betting options, and this can again be seen on Epic Dreams with stakes starting from a minimum of €0.10 a spin and reaching a maximum of €200.

Epic Dreams Slot Base Game

Epic Dreams is played on a 6×7 grid, totalling 117,649 ways to win. However, not all positions are in play at the start, and you’ll find that only the top three rows are populated with symbols, while four special squares are highlighted in each of the rows below. Wins are awarded if matching symbols land on adjacent reels, regardless of their position, and this then activates the tumbling reels mechanic. Also known as cascading reels, this will remove winning symbols from the playfield and drop new symbols onto the grid, giving you extra chances to win.

If a winning combination is made with one of the special boxed symbols on the blocker reel below, then that whole row will explode, allowing paytable symbols to land in view and giving you a chance to try and unlock the next level. Once you fail to make a new win, the grid will reset back to its default set up.

Multiplier Coins

At random, multiplier coins may be added to rows below the playfield. If these are collected, their value will multiply your stake and be added to your winnings for that current series of reel cascades.

Epic Dreams Slot Bonus Features

Epic Dreams slot bonus feature

If all stone blocks are removed in the base game, the Bonus Pick will be triggered, and players can choose from the Dig Bonus or Build Bonus. A Super Bonus symbol can also appear on the bottom row in the base game. If all blocks are cleared and this is awarded, you can choose from both features, but they are enhanced.

Dig Bonus

The Dig Bonus will start with 5 free spins, and every third stone block row destroyed will reveal a level row which awards +1 free spin. At the start of each spin, any stone block rows remaining from the previous spin are kept. New stone block rows are added from underneath so that every free spin starts with exactly 4 stone block rows. Once 50 stone block rows have been destroyed, and the 5000x stone block row is revealed, the player is awarded the max win of 5000x bet, and the bonus ends.

Stone block rows may contain treasure chests; when destroyed, they may trigger one of the features below.

Coin Add: Adds 1-3 coins to stone blocks.
upgrade: upgrades the value of 1-3 existing coins.
Wild Add: Adds a wild symbol to the open position of 1-3 stone block rows.

Treasure Chests may also contain up to 3 Super Orbs. Collecting three Super Orbs during Dig Bonus upgrades the round to a Super Bonus immediately awarding +5 spins and awarding +2 additional free spins, instead of +1, whenever a level row is cleared. When a Treasure Chest awards the third and final Super Orb, it will not reveal a feature. In the Super Dig Bonus, you instead start with 10 free spins, and every third stone block row destroyed will reveal a level row which instead awards +2 free spins. Once the upgrade occurs, no more Super Orbs may appear.

Build Bonus

The bonus begins with 3 spins, where each round contains a drop of 3 symbols. A win is awarded by filling a full row of any symbol, with each individual symbol in the row paid as three a kind from the paytable. When a win occurs, the round counter is reset to 3.

The Build Bonus also has a multiplier ladder that starts at x1 and increases by 1 each time a row is filled. The payout of paying symbols on a row is multiplied by the corresponding multiplier value. Note that Coin symbols will get their value updated to their final multiplied value after landing. You will reach the top of the multiplier ladder when 50 rows are filled, which immediately awards the max win of 5000x bet.

Coin Symbols or Treasure Chests may also drop instead of the normal paying symbols and perform the following.

Coin Symbols: when part of a win, they award the visible value of the coin as its payout.

Treasure Chests: Treasure Chests in the Build Bonus are opened immediately (before win evaluation) and may trigger one of the features below.

Coin Add: initiates a drop that only drops Coin Symbols. This drop does not reduce the round counter.

Filler: Fills 1-3 rows with random symbols, triggering wins.

+1 Drop: Future Spins will drop 1 additional symbol per round.

Treasure Chests may also contain up to 3 Super Orbs. Collecting 3 Super Orbs during Build Bonus upgrades the Bonus to a Super Bonus, immediately resetting the round counter to 4, and for the rest of the bonus, the round counter will be reset to 4 instead of 3. Once the upgrade occurs, no more Super Orbs may appear. When a Treasure Chest awards the third and final Super Orb, it will not initiate a feature. In the Super Build Bonus, you instead start with 4 rounds, and When a win occurs, the round counter is reset to 4.

Bonus Buy

Epic Dreams is part of the Relax Gaming bonus buy slot family, and you can trigger both the standard and super bonus rounds for the price of 100x and 250x, respectively.

Pros

Two bonus rounds with both standard and super variations.

Cons

Low max win of 5,000x bet.
Lots of dead spins in the base game.

Epic Dreams Slot Review Final Thoughts

Epic Dreams provides players with a theme they probably wouldn't expect to see when reading the title, but once the gameplay begins, there will be plenty of features that become instantly recognisable. However, the gameplay did little for me, and there were a notable number of dead spins in the base game, failing to unlock the first level continuously, which would have decimated a real money balance in no time at all.If you like the mechanics of the slot and want to stick with the same game provider, try out the Temple Tumble free play slot instead. It's a much better game, in my opinion.
