There’s a change in the air, and not just because now that March is here Spring is practically upon us. Which makes this the perfect time for one creative casino games software to bring new life into the slot machine.
That honour, this month, falls to Yggdrasil Gaming.
Bet you thought we would say NetEnt Aloha Cluster Pays slot didn’t you? But whilst that little crazy game seems interesting, we are putting our Easter eggs in the Yggdrasil slots basket and the upcoming Seasons slot.
Why? Because we’ve been given a little preview and we like what these changing seasons bring.
Tell me more about the Seasons slot game?
We don’t have a video to show you this time around. Unfortunately, Yggdrasil like to keep their cards close to their chest prior to the release of the game.
But, we have images and information – which is almost as good.
Isn’t it beautiful? And what you see up here is by one of the four possible Seasons, and modes that you can play in this mobile slot game.
That’s right, as you spin you play through Winter, Spring, Summer and Autumn, taking you through the seasons seamlessly every 10 spins, and each season brings with it a little surprise.

Let’s talk about the theme
We know you’ve only got a screenshot of Summer, but we’ve seen all 4 Seasons and each are as pretty as the next.
Granted, it lacks the visual impact of the likes of the Winterberries slot, perhaps taking a more cartoonish theme that fits in better with the Vikings Go Wild game, where everything is more cartoony rather than realistic.
Still, if you are wondering whether it will be terribly distracting changing seasons mid spin, don’t be. The border and background change, but the symbols all (almost) remain the same.
So it should flow from one to the next with little disturbance to your game play.
You say ‘almost’ all the symbols stay the same
Ah, yes, this is the most interesting bonus game feature of this Seasons mobile slot. Because if this slots studio are good at one thing is combining good storytelling with excellent bonus features.
And that’s not just us saying it, it’s straight from Yggdrasil’s CEO mouth, Fredrik Elmqvist:
“We craft each slot machine individually, thinking carefully about the mechanics of each game, and how they’ll stand out in an already crowded scene… we like simple, but powerful mechanics that have been beautifully interpreted within a theme and story.”
So yes, one symbol will change; and that’s the wild symbols.
A different wild for every season
After all, you wouldn’t expect to wear the same hat all year round right? What do you mean you don’t wear hats because we’re not in the 1940s?
Whatever, you know what we are trying to say, stop breaking a perfectly good analogy.
To get to the point, every 10 spins, with the change of seasons, a new wild shows up with different features:
- The Winter Hare: Creates duplicating wilds on screen, to always give you the best win results.
- The Spring Owl: You get a free re-spin, with the owl roaming across the screen (a little like in Jack & The Beanstalk)
- The Summer Deer: It doesn’t just expand, it expands in a + pattern, giving you bigger chance at getting 3/4 of a kind wins.
- The Autumn Fox: The one we will no doubt learn to hate to love, as it provides random multiplier on every wild.
The Bonus features in this Seasons slot
The thing about bonus features in this Android and iPhone slot is that you never know how effective they will be until you start playing.
So will these changing season wilds be annoying or exciting? We will only know the answer to that for sure come the 24th of March 2016.
However there are a few signs that it all sound promising.
For one, you still get free spins on top of the wilds
Ranging from 7 to 30 free spins, there is nothing particularly special about them, except that you must play them in the season you trigger them in.
Get 20 free spins no deposit on Gonzo’s Quest + 100% up to £€$200 + 100 free spins on your first deposit.
Which is one sure fire way to continue getting the wild you want for longer than the 10 spins between seasons.
Because, let’s not forget the big cold front in this Spring of fresh air; if those wilds are no good (or you only like one of 4) you have to wait an average of 30 spins in order to get your favourite again.
And that, could ruin the game.
The Seasons mobile slot has a good mix of wilds
Thank-fully, what Yggdrasil Gaming have done here is try to walk a fine path between giving you the chance of big wins, with also moments of frequent little wins to keep you playing.
What do we mean by that? Simply that as the seasons progress, you’ll probably get more wins.
Winter hare is slow and sleepy, whilst the Spring owl will start to liven things up. But we suspect the Summer deer, with those 5 clusters of wild will really get the blood pumping.
And then there’s that foxy Autumn, which might give you a simple 2x multiplier, or if enough wild symbols show up, a 10x multiplier and eye popping wins. You won’t need much more to survive the next Winter.
Coming to all good Yggdrasil casinos
This Seasons slot machine will be out on the 24th of March at all good mobile casinos. And yes, you’ll be able to play on both mobile and online, as soon as its out.
And no, there will be absolutely no difference between one or the other.
So which mobile casino slots and games would we recommend you start playing till then? Personally we are a huge fan of Cyrus the Virus video slot. Simple, fun, but effective.
If you prefer something a little more dangerous, Casino Zeppelin is all steam punk wonder, with plenty of big hits to be had.
As for the casino, personally we have a soft spot for Vera & John; namely because you can get Yggdrasil casino bonuses that let you spin until you win a decent amount – so you are guaranteed to walk away with cash.
A clever bonus, from a clever casino; and you also get an exclusive welcome bonus of 10 free spins no deposit + 100% up to £€$200 on your very first spin.
It’s a win-win all round.
