The visuals in Enchanted Crystal are a typically impressive effort from Play 'N Go. An idyllic rural setting forms the backdrop to the reels which are dominated by a quartet of fairies. Joining them are playing card symbols from A to 10 and a trio of extra symbols which all trigger a feature.
First up is the crystal which acts as the game's wild - it substitutes for all other symbols apart from the bonus and the scatter but perhaps more importantly can appear as an expanded wild on reels 2, 3 and 4. When this happens, the expanded wild will be held in place and a re-spin awarded. You'll get 2 re-spins if 2 expanded wilds hit and 3 if you're lucky enough to find 3 expanded wilds.
Next is the Goblin symbol - find 3 of them to trigger the bonus feature. Once activated, you'll be transported to a set of caves. Direct the fairy to 1 of the 4 caves shown. Find a crystal and you'll win a cash prize and go through to the next level where there are 3 caves. If you find the King, the feature ends. Repeat the process until you make it all the way to the Goblin King where the big prizes await. Payouts of up to 500 times your stake are on offer here.
Finally, there's a Free Spins feature which is triggered when 3 or more Butterfly and Flower symbols appear anywhere on the reels - you'll be awarded 10 free spins. During the free games, you'll see a number of animated butterflies floating across the reels. These can land at random and turn up to 5 symbols into wilds. You can re-trigger even more free spins in this round with a maximum of 50 free spins on offer.
The payouts in the base game aren't anything spectacular. Where Enchanted Crystals really hits its straps is in the features, all of which are impressive. The expanded wilds hit fairly regularly and provide a steady diet of smaller boosts. Get all the way in the pick me round and there are a decent amount of coins on offer. Trigger and re-trigger the free spins and the cashier can soon rack up. On the variance stakes, Enchanted Crystals is in the medium range.
With quality sound, graphics and animation, Enchanted Crystals is certainly pretty to look at. The features match the high visual standards. Even if fairies aren't your thing, and let's face it, that's most of us, there's still plenty of reason to enter this enchanted kingdom. If you want something a little more action-packed, Eye of the Kraken is good as to is Aztec Idols which is high variance (both by Play ‘N Go).
