Blazing Wild Streak
Triggering this feature requires the Action Reel which is a single position reel that sits above the game grid. The reel is triggered at random and can display 1, 2, or 3 flame icons which will highlight a corresponding number of positions on the reels. When the action reel displays 1x, 2x, or 3x respin symbols, you will be granted a respin with the triggering multiplier applied. All highlighted positions will transform into wilds that can include up to a 5x multiplier.
Jackpot Bonus Game
If 3 scatters appear on reels 2, 3, and 4, the game grid will fall away to reveal 12 stone faces. Picking a stone face symbol will reveal a coloured gem that corresponds to a jackpot prize, you will continue picking until you reveal 3 gems of the same colour and you will be awarded the linked jackpot.
You could win the Mini, Minor, Major, or Grand jackpots that pay 15x, 40x, 200x, and 5000x your stake, respectively.
Amber Sterling's Mystic Shrine slot has all the technical elements of a great slot, but it stops short of spectacular. The theme has richly illustrated graphics to give you an authentic jungle feel and Amber occasionally speaks up, giving the experience a personable feel. The Action Reel adds decent excitement to the gameplay as you see how many positions you can highlight before the Wild Streak is activated. The Jackpot bonus game is where you could claim the slot’s top potential of $250 000.
While the game is well executed it doesn’t stand out much from the competition and would have benefited from a more integrated theme or an additional bonus feature.
