Not to be confused with the legendary grunge band, the online slot game Nirvana takes players on a fantastic journey to a mystical realm. As you might know, Nirvana is the highest state of consciousness in Buddhism. To some, it may even be the equivalent of Paradise, as it is essentially the ultimate goal of a Buddhist. The slot game tribute to this perfect spiritual destination is brought to you by software developer Yggdrasil, and it comes with high quality visuals and a unique vibe to maybe just catch a glimpse of what the real deal may be like. There is an undeniable fantasy feel which you will sense as soon as the game loads, and one of the things to point you in that direction is the strange, mythical creatures on the reels.

Now as for the layout in Nirvana, it features a conventional 5 reel by 3 row grid. It also comes with 20 paylines for you to place your wagers on, however, the paylines will not be subject to adjustments in this game and that reflects accordingly on the betting range. As you will find, the minimum bet is a moderate 20p per single spin and the maximum amount you will be able to wager on these reels will set you back some £100 per spin.

Special Features

Wild

The Wild symbol can land in any position, anywhere across the five reels during gameplay, and when it does, it can substitute for all other symbols in the game with the exception of the Scatter symbol. In other words, the Wild will be able to help you complete winning sequences. However, the Wild does not offer any payouts of its own.

Freespins

The only other special symbol besides the Wild in Nirvana is the game’s Scatter, and with its help you will be able to access the main attraction in this slot – the Freespins Feature. As a matter of fact, you will even be able to trigger it by landing only 2 Scatters at the same time. However, that will only award you 1 freespin. You will really want to activate the feature with at least 3 Scatters in order to get the full benefit. Triggering the bonus with 3, 4 or 5 Scatters will all give you the fixed amount of 10 freespins, but 4 or 5 Scatters will also provide you with a very attractive cash prize.

Now, before the freespins actually begin you will need to select one special feature to go with them:

  • One option is the Wild Seeds mode. It will create between 2 and 4 Wilds randomly on the reels.
  • Then there’s also the Mega Reel option, which will synchronize the three middle reels. Hence, they will display the same symbol throughout the feature.
  • Last but not least is the Nudge Reels Feature. After each spin, one of the reels can be nudged one position up or down for the best possible outcome.

But that’s not all. If you retrigger the Freespins Feature you will get to choose a second enhancement, and if you retrigger it one more you will get to play with all three enhancements at the same time. Note also that each of these enhancements comes with different win frequency, win potential, and chance to retrigger. You can check these out in the game’s paytable to better calculate which feature you’d rather choose first.

Verdict

Nirvana is truly an amazing offering from Yggdrasil. Not only does it come with the awesome quality visuals that we know this developer for, but it also boasts a great setup. This is a fairly volatile title, though, so dry spells are very likely before you actually trigger that bonus.
