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

Game Overview

Are there many, if any, other cities that can invoke the same levels of love and romance as Paris? Its almost perfect combination of history, architecture, culture, and ambience has made it the most popular destination for young couples, and that’s hardly surprising. Play’n Go has captured the city’s qualities perfectly in their latest slot release, Journey to Paris. It is a beautifully designed slot with a few interesting features, a 5×5 grid layout, a 96.37% RTP and a 18,566x max win.

As you’d expect from a slot with this type of theme, the gaming experience is an extremely relaxing one. There is an accordion-based soundtrack in the background that captures Paris perfectly, and the backdrop is a beautiful day among the cafes in the city. Unfortunately, it seems a little too relaxed, as there’s not much going on in the base game. Winning combinations disappear, wild symbols appear, and you can increase a win multiplier if you’re lucky enough. That’s about it. The free spins bonus does rescue the slot to some extent, but even that is nothing to write home about.

If you haven’t drifted off to sleep while admiring the splendours of Paris, why not consider taking this slot for a test drive? We’ve provided the free-to-play Journey to Paris slot demo below.

Journey To Paris Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols

Journey to Paris slot base paytable

When I think of Paris-themed slots, only one springs to mind: Betsoft’s A Night in Paris, which also features amazing graphics and animations. Aside from that, however, there haven’t been too many. The closest I can think of regarding free online slots to try here on our platform is The Phantom of the Opera from Triple Edge Studios, which is an interesting game to play, and Yggdrasil’s Notre Dame Tales.

Over to the pays section next, and there are two paytables for the Journey to Paris slot, one for the base game and another for the free spins bonus. We’re more focused on the former in this section, so I’ll give you the lowdown on the payouts you can hope to land. The Street Magician conjures up the best payouts, with 25x the stake the best of them for a five-symbol combination. A Street Mime Artist and a Musician are the next best, with both paying up to 15x. The Magician’s Hat returns up to 10x, the Ballon and Gloves are both worth up to 7.5x, and the Accordion delivers a top prize of 5x. Also, you’ll receive 2.5x the stake for any combination of the Magician Hats and Ballon and Gloves.

Regarding betting options on Journey to Paris, you can opt to play with stakes between a minimum of €0.20, reaching up to a maximum of €40.00 per spin for those with money to burn.

Journey To Paris Slot Base Game & Modifiers

Journey to Paris slot base game

There are no paylines or ways-to-win on Journey to Paris, but before you scream blue murder, that doesn’t mean there’s no way to secure payouts. The 5×5 slot uses an unorthodox mechanic to determine wins. You’ll receive a payout wherever three or more matching symbols are connected horizontally or vertically in any position on the reels. It’s similar to the cluster pays mechanic, but the clusters have to be in a line. All symbols in a winning combination disappear, but new symbols drop into the action.

Wild Symbols & Progressive Win Multiplier

While new symbols do not appear as part of a tumble, a wild symbol appears in place of winning combinations. Furthermore, each combination increases a progressive win multiplier by 1x and will apply to the total win once the spin ends. The multiplier always resets back to 1x at the start of every base game spin.

Journey To Paris Slot Bonus Features

Journey to Paris slot bonus feature

When spinning the reels, you’ll notice that the word BONUS is spelt out underneath the symbols on one or more of the reels. You trigger the free spins bonus game if you uncover the full word on one of the reels following a spin. Furthermore, if you ever manage to clear the whole grid of symbols, you’ll win a 1,000x the stake payout.

Free Spins Feature

Once activated, you’ll receive 10 free spins with a multiplier value of at least 5x, although this increases depending on how many full BONUS words appear during the triggering base game spin.

You’re transported to a new set of reels with a new set of symbols, and you’ll also have a scatter pays mechanic in action. You’ll win a payout whenever five or more matching symbols land anywhere in view. The paytable details the payouts you’ll receive for each symbol combination, but the best is 175x the stake for 10 Paris symbols. Any wins coming your way are multiplied by the win multiplier. Finally, you’ll receive an additional five spins each time five or more scatters land, while you’ll also get an extra spin if a bonus stamp appears underneath a winning combination.

Pros

Play’n Go has nailed the design and soundtrack.

Cons

The slot’s almost too relaxing for its own good - more features would have been nice.

Journey To Paris Slot Review Final Thoughts

Journey to Paris is one of those slots I class as all style and substance. It looks fantastic and is well-designed, but it is somewhat a letdown when you start spinning the reels. The free spins round is fairly entertaining and lucrative in equal measure, but aside from that, Journey to Paris seems rather flat.
