secret of the stones slot theme, stakes, pays & symbols

In an industry overflowing with endless fruit-themed slots and rehashes of the same old franchises, it's always fantastic to see a new machine that uses an original, unique theme. Secret of the Stones is essentially a myth and magic type of game, but it’s tough to come up with any other machines that resemble this one in any way. I guess Pragmatic Play’s title, Day of the Dead, shares a few similarities if we pretend that the stones are actually gravestones, but it’s a vague resemblance at best. The art style is a little cartoonish for my tastes, but then again, I don’t know if a more serious tone would suit the game, either. The bottom line, the presentation is excellent, the graphics look great, and the sound didn’t have me reaching for the mute button either – what more could I ask for?!

Well, I guess I could ask for some enormous line hits on the paytable! The MAX variant of the game certainly delivers this, and those are the numbers I will be listing here, as I can’t imagine many players choosing this variant because they want to play the original version of the slot! The deer will pay you 160x your bet (for reference, that’s up from 50x in the classic game) for a full payline of five of a kind, followed by the owl at 50x, the bull at 32x, the wolf at 14x, and finally the snake at 10x. The lower-paying section of the paytable includes five royals with payouts of between 2x and 6x your bet for all five symbols. It’s a shame that there are still no special prizes for the wild or scatter symbols, but I guess you can’t have everything!

Wager selection is performed using coin value and level selectors, which, when combined, allow you to bet any multiple of €0.25 between the minimum and maximum limits. At coin size €0.01, the minimum bet per spin works out as €0.25, whilst dialling up both the coin size and level to the max gives a top bet of €100.00 per round.

base game & modifiers

The base game of Secret of the Stones (MAX) is very straightforward – the game uses a five reel, three row playfield, which is the perfect size for the 25 fixed paylines. You’ll need to hit three or more matching symbols starting from the left to score yourself a win.

I wish NetEnt had included a modifier or two to spice up the base game a little – the bonus round includes a multitude of special features, but most of your time playing this game is sure to be spent right here in the base game.
