Druids' Dream

NetEnt built Druids' Dream around a Celtic forest, its cracked-stone 5x4 grid set before a great glowing tree that sways gently while a relaxing backing track plays underneath.

Wins pay across forty fixed lines, reading in either direction along each one so the stronger of the two combinations counts, whenever three or more matching symbols land. The four low-value symbols are shimmering rune stones in blue, green, yellow and red; the premiums are a wolf, an owl, a bear-adorned drum and an orange gourd, and the wolf alone pays 5x the bet for five in a row.

Wild symbols do most of the work in the base game. They appear singly on reels one, three and five, or stacked across reels two and four, and substitute for any regular pay symbol. Two druid scatters, a male figure restricted to reel two and a female figure restricted to reel four, can land at either end of a wild stack on their reel; when that happens the reel locks in place and charges, awarding a number of respins equal to the wilds in that stack. A fresh wild stack landing without a scatter during those respins triggers a Nudge, giving the reel another shot at revealing the missing scatter.

Landing both druid scatters together, rather than across separate respins, triggers 6 free spins outright, with every wild present on reels two and four at that moment adding one extra spin to the total. Every wild and scatter involved in triggering that round turns sticky for the feature's duration, and a bear scatter can also appear inside a wild stack on reel three during the bonus, adding a further 3 free spins whenever it lands.

Druids' Dream runs at 96% RTP on a low/medium volatility setting, a combination that keeps the reels calm between the bigger scatter-driven moments, with a maximum win of 200x the bet per spin and stakes from 0.20 to 400.
