Crystal Ball Slots

Crystal-BallCrystal Ball is the right game to play if you’re a believer in Astrology, in the zodiac and in the possibility that someone can read your future by looking in a crystal ball. Or, it can simply be a good way to unwind, even if you’re not a huge believer in such things. Designed by Nuworks, Crystal Ball has a number of brothers with similar themes that were created by other developers, so it seems like there is a market for such titles.

The game has a regular number of lines/reels, offering you 25 for the former and 5 for the latter. Two types of wilds are present, one of them with multipliers, plus a scatter and free spins. The less impressive part is related to the slot’s $2,500 jackpot.

Features of Crystal Ball

The game comes with wild symbols of two types, with multipliers, a scatter symbol and a feature which gives you free spins that can apply multipliers as high as 12x to the wins.

The Zodiac Sign is used for the two wilds that can appear, though in different variants. The simple variant is used as a wild that can show up on the 2nd and the 4th reels, substituting for regular symbols only. It can’t replace a Gold Zodiac wild, or the scatter.

The Gold Zodiac is the second wild symbol in Crystal Ball. This wild only shows up on the 3rd reel, and from there it can substitute for regular symbols. You will get double the usual prize when this wild contributes, a 2x multiplier making sure of that.

The Astrologer is the third symbol that is not on the list of regular icons. It is a scatter which is capable of offering good prizes, as high as 200 times the total bet, as long as you have enough of its symbols present. They don’t have to be on a fixed line, they just need to be somewhere on the reels in sufficient numbers.

Zodiac Feature With Free Games

The slot’s free games are triggered by the appearance of a minimum of three scattered Astrologers. 12 free spins are awarded when this happens. Astrologer scatters are not present during the free spins, so you can’t retrigger the feature.

The multiplier that is applied to the wins starts at 2x and it goes up by 2x each time you have a Gold Zodiac wild present on the 3rd reel. The highest that you can get this multiplier to go is 12x.

Betting options and jackpots

In Crystal Ball, the betting range starts at $0.01 and reaches a maximum of $25. 1 to 25 coins are used each round, with the number of active lines being the same. The coin’s denomination is between $0.01 and $1.

The top prize, of 2,400 coins, is won when the Gold Zodiac wild applies its multiplier. That’s $2,400 cash. Without the wild, the prize is at $1,200. You also have a chance at winning one of the three progressive jackpots, a prize which is offered at random at the end of a base game spin.

Design and symbols

The design of Crystal Ball shows some promise, but the use of poker cards and the black background selected for the reels manage to squander it. The rest of the design is just as it should be, with astrology signs, with stars and things like Zodiac signs and astrologers. Still, even with its downsides, it’s a well made game and it shows in the symbols that are part of it.
