[castle-dominion]

5x4 murder he wrote

these girls are amazing I love them my gal is just watching the clock RC: But there will be plenty of that this weekend GIRL SHUSH his whispers are great KB: (sigh) Wow, Castle. Thank you for reminding me that I’m lying to a bunch of people that I really care about so I don’t get fired on an ethics violation ‘cause I’m dating you.

KR, v loud: Hey Castle! RC: *there is no meme for the face I am thinknig of* Ryan's outfit "her boyfriend" "give uss sss ss something!"

Wow hella nice place

JE: Why would Beckett be holding out on us? KR, sounding genuine: Maybe there’s something wrong with the guy. Maybe he’s bad news. ((They care abt her)) JE, using it as an excuse: Well, then as her partners, it’s our obligation to find out who this guy is. KR: And what kind of partners would we be if we didn’t? Her safety could be at stake. JE: Exactly, and with no active murder case going on, I say we use this time to find him. ((They also,, just are curious lol))

KB: So uh, are you rich or smth? Holy this place is huge & nice

What's up with her though? Is she ok? complete privacy? already poured himself a drink? Wow she's tanned this episode.

UGH THE MUSIC IS SO SO GOOD Ooh becket, wowie

HOLY CRAP THIS MAN IS BLEEDING & DROPPING SAND I mean of course, this is a murder show Hey I only just noticed, we didn't get a teaser

I like Brady. What kind of arrangement? She's hot enough ig? & I'm sure castle had met this police chief fellow before

Watch a lot of cop shows do we? Shapiro?

becks is maaaad

castle is going into crime solving mode XD

Nice wooden table, reminds me of the altar in my fnmi church

they just want to have sex but they love the story they want justice lmao the party was killer XD

Green screen it looks like

[10:48, INT. PRECINCT, AUTOPSY – DAY] [Ryan and Esposito follow Lanie around her lab.] LP: Beckett’s boyfriend? Don’t you two have something better to do? JE: Actually, no. ((like balancing the egg)) KR: We figured Beckett must have started up with the guy during her suspension. JE: A pretty emotional time for her. I bet she needed a shoulder to lean on. KR: An ex. JE: It would explain why she’s too embarrassed to tell us who it is. It makes her look weak. KR: We’re thinking the most likely scenario is that it was the last guy that she was with. JE: Dr. Joshua Davidson. KR: Mm-hmm. JE: It’s him, isn’t it? LP: Okay, I get that you don’t have a life, Javi, but you’re married, Kevin, so what’s your excuse? KR: I— LP: Whoever Beckett’s boyfriend is, is none of your business. JE: Come on, Lanie. You must know who it is. She went back to Josh, didn’t she? LP: Is this how you interrogate people? ‘Cause you ain’t doing nothing but pissing me off. ((I love her)) [Esposito reels his expression back in.] LP: Now I don’t know who it is, and I respect Beckett’s privacy, but I do know it’s not Josh, because he’s been in the Amazon setting up free clinics for the last year. JE: Are you sure about that? [Lanie gives him an annoyed look.] KR: I think she’s sure. JE: Yeah. [Ryan’s cell rings.] KR: Hey, Castle. Yeah, I’m gonna put you on speakerphone so you can weigh in on this. ((brings castle into their convo instead of whatever castle was calling for initially)) RC: (on speaker phone) Weigh in on what? KR: (on speaker phone) Well, we’re in the morgue with Lanie trying to figure out who Beckett’s boyfriend is. ((So becks knows that her partners apparently try to look into her personal life, & even try to get castle in on it. The boys totally could have used the excuse that since she wasn't telling them they were mildly concerned)) [Beckett straightens up in her chair in fear.] LP: (on speaker phone) I have nothing to do with this nonsense. [Lanie walks off and hits Esposito on her way out.] RC: Yeah, until you’re bagging their mangled bodies when Beckett finds out. [Beckett smirks.] JE: (on speaker phone) Pfft. Like we’re afraid of Beckett. (chuckles) [Beckett purses her lips.] KR: (on speaker phone) Besides, how’s she gonna find out? [Beckett grabs for the phone angrily, but Castle snatches it off of the base first before she can blow their secret.]

poison with a gun lmao

that is like,, magenta not blood red-- wait nvm castle not normal to say! You could have said "It must be hard to be the last one to see him alive, are you doing ok?"

Yeah he barely needed to pressure her at all lol

so right, he is NOT close friends with the chief

hooker friend XD & now rick has another arrest on his record.

oh no this poor guy hasn't worked homicide before...

Making a deal! Nice! two hours in here? "relax" lmao He's going to learn how to solve homicides!

Oh no, if the precinct finds out... that would be less than good

bad coffee or good coffee?

He does indeed have friends in robbery, this is a plot point that has been mentioned before

KB: Why are you even helping them? are they trying to find a ship name? Yeah we know their ship name. (tho consistency is nice. I personally prefer kevenny over kevjen & esparish over esplanie, & rickate is fine but caskett is better... you should see my table/chart of ship names lol.)

lol just deputy jones <3 (what if it was him?)

in the ocean FOR 20 mins?

they are so hot for each other I love this meth guy lol he is crazed out

A red shark with red eyes? reminds me of that holmes novel with the LERNER I KNOW THAT NAME

Oof all that rope

I keep forgetting non-natives usually don't use "deadly" Oh wow I just googled it & apparently it is also used by australian aboriginals too, not just us up here in canada & probably the rest of north america, (but probs only english speaking parts in the americas)

Love how the police chief is just sitting there while these two are doing most of the interviewing

Group therapy? Or weight loss

exactly from 8.30 to 10?

It's going to be the chief himself lol Castle's face when he heard that name

Oh hey Sal! We know sal!

No contacting vinnie the scar! *cut to vinnie toasting salud* Yeah a surprising amount of people can't cook This has been a great way to slip into it

VC: Ooh, see, that’s the difference between Castle and me. You’ve had my complete attention since I’ve been here, sweetheart. RC: Whoa, whoa. Watch it, Vinnie. Don’t make me have to do to you what someone did to your neighbor. VC: Oh, you heard about that, huh? RC: Heard about it? The guy ended up in my pool!

castle no you went too far! You should have given a different route! You also maybe could have offered him to take home his leftovers even though the evening went poorly & you could have said you hoped time would heal this bump in the road.

solving murders is like foreplay for them. I say this about detective murdoch & doctor ogden too

Give him some linguine to make things up... Outing them is a good threat "He said he already ate" she probably heard the convo hun

Ooh nice place there! All dirty & gross! Flashlights! No vests. Also turn your phone on silent idiot sounds to me like the place is going to blow up heavy door...

WHO'S THAT? GOSH THEY HAVE A GUN Holy crap they took him down! Gosh ryan went in that direction & probs didn't see this individual here, thank goodness esposito came in right after & knocked him Wow ryan is yelling. & the other guy is just still there? & espt leaves him? wait no he takes the gun Wearing a lot of stuff rn. ppe But dang they are coughing a ton. ryan mr ex drug cop

He used to do what? Cook the books? I forget what he did & idk what that means naked by the pool? they switched places, now the one trying to be sexy & is the one worried about the murder "exactly" he says about the murder & drug case & then pulls her close

Ryan & esposito look pretty but I'm not interested in taking a pic, I'm tired maybe I will clip this tho bc the way ryan stops in front of espt ooh

Good to have your lawyer making back to making crank lol ryan is so good in this interrogation I love love it whu what do you mean girlfriend? Hey! Hey! I’ll ask the questions here,

brown but almost blonde nowadays, & I think her eyes might be hazel body type? Hot. That's how ryan knows it's beckett lol. KR: Son of a gun

KR, sitting chill, feet up (so we get to see his nice shoes): You were right, Castle. Franklin was using his helicopter to move meth to the Hamptons. Looks like you blew this case wide open. Guess you can get back to your writing now, huh? & then kate in the room frantic & "are you still there?" RC: Uh, what else did Aaron Lerner say? Did he say anything else about… anything else? KR: Oh, you know, the usual. “I didn’t do it. You got the wrong guy.” I’m pretty sure he told me everything he knows. He is SO toying with them KR, smug smile still on his face: Yeah. Good luck with the writing. *hangs up immediately*

why did he go to open the door & then,, close it? Good. But why are you telling them? Oh honour of being at the arrest

Ooh he has his gun out! Nice! I'm lucky! & plot armour

I mean, yeah, these knots are the way they go. Knots are the same. The only difference would be maybe left handed vs right handed. Oh the knot wasn't the right knot, nvm

I called it! It was the chief! OR NOT HOLY CRAP I mean... yeah *hides behind beckett* BRADY TOOK A SHOT! RC: Sorry about the whole “accusing you of murder”…still buddies? Brady: Yeah...

toast to you! Oh now they are waiting for him to leave. Hot tip "Well I shouldn't keep you, we'd better let you go, but let me walk you to the door"

Oh crap I forgot I was going to mention it's neat to have fbi contacts & we get to see ppl making use of these contacts

(also ryan's shirt looks like it was not ironed... I hate ironing & think that we as a society should stop caring about wrinkles, I just think it is an interesting fact)

JE: Well, the case in the Hamptons has been solved, but the case of the secret boyfriend remains open. Turns out Beckett’s FBI ex has been stationed in Europe for six months. KR: Huh. JE: What? You got anything? [Ryan turns around to face Esposito, and leans back in his chair, considering for a moment.] KR: Nah. No, I was just thinking, maybe we should drop it. [Esposito’s brow furrows in surprise.] KR: You know, let Beckett’s private life stay private. JE: What, you mean give up? (scoffs) A real detective never gives up on a case, bro. KR: You know it’s not a real case, right? JE: You’re gonna tell me what a real case is? KR: Uh, last time I checked, it’s when there was a murder. JE: Oh, there’s been a murder all right. Your spirit. KR: Wow. [They grab their coats and head out.] JE: Your dignity, too. KR: Huh. Well, you know what, just for that, the first round’s on you. JE: Yeah, good luck with that. [They greet a co-worker passing by.] JE: Bruce. KR:Bruce.

Ah bruce. Name for this guy now.

the story is not the hardest part... I mean sometimes it is... the idea at least is easiest. Sometimes making the story make sense is hard. But then it's the sitting down & working that is the hardest part. the music Lots of candles too, I hope they are not too close bc she has hair oh gosh they are on the bedframe what if they have rigorous sex & it makes them fall? I mean they could be into wax play ig...

cute af & I'm even 20 minutes early!

💚My immediate reactions to WWDITS 5x4💜

* Sean and Colin are actually are a good pairing. Sean’s too loopy to notice Colin’s draining him, I guess.

* Nandor wants Guillermo to join him at the gym? Like he wanted Kublai to wrestle with him last season???

* Awww lil Swinging Hands Nandor after making his new friend was very cute!

* Nandor is such a petty bitch! Trying to make his crush jealous is such an obvious sign, but will Guillermo notice?

* Return of Evie Russell!

* Not the Ted Lasso “Believe” sign on the blackboard in the support group meeting!

* Laszlo clearly didn’t do much “research”, although I’m glad he has returned to the bucket hat look.

* Aww Alexander seems like a nice enough guy, and dealing with Nandor speaking full volume during a movie shows god-tier patience.

* I thought this CR arc was gonna be a season long arc, I guess we’ll see… (UPDATE: This makes so much sense now! I love this idea! UPDATEUPDATE: Wait, it’s actually over?)

* Lol, not the fast forward during the debate 😂 The playing with the documentary format again is great!

* The Haunted Castle ad having the same narrator as the WWDITS intro is really smart and showed me just how recognizable his voice has become to me.

* The documentary crew AGAIN in the chase after CR and ER’s abduction! This reminds me of 3x8 with them following Guillermo’s car after the cult breakout. I love it!

* The Supreme Council of Energy Vampires is brilliant. I hope and also really don’t hope that we see them again because they remind me so much of people I interact with at work!

* Colin loves Evie?!

* Nandor is obsessed with Guillermo admiring/beings near his dick. Subtle as a brick to the face, Nandor 🙃

* Awww Laszlo tried! And it’s always nice to hear Matt sing or play an instrument

* Nice! So the EVs actually support Colin. Also, I feel like so much was improvised and I love that

* Awww Nandor, beckoning the crew to follow him was adorable. Again again, I love them being so present in the production and I secretly hope they play some kind of role in Nandermo happening.

* Nandor wanting to show off his circumcision to Alexander must mean that Guillermo actually did it…

* “Fa-Fa-Fa-Fuck yourself” is just the most recent in the string of top Laszlo lines this season!

* Oh, sheeeet the Evie substitution makes sense, but why do I feel like there’s something underlying this??

* Awwwww Nandor and Guillermo going to see a movie together?! Who asked who? What’s the movie?! I NEED ANSWERS (that ultimately don’t matter but I want them anyway!!)

*That teaser for the next ep! OMFG!

Shadow Shifter is a mysterious, supernatural-themed slot game developed by Yggdrasil Gaming. It features an action-packed storyline with shifting symbols, magical elements, and thrilling bonus features. The game is known for its innovative mechanics and high-quality visuals that blend dark fantasy with mystical themes, offering players an immersive experience as they spin the reels.

Theme and Visuals

Theme: The theme of Shadow Shifter revolves around shadowy figures, mysterious symbols, and magical power. The game immerses players in a dark and mystical world, where the line between reality and illusion is blurred. It features shadowy creatures, ancient runes, and mysterious powers at play, adding an air of intrigue and excitement.

Visuals: The visuals are designed with a moody, atmospheric feel, using a palette of dark purples, blues, and blacks, which gives the game a haunting, supernatural look. Magical symbols and glowing elements pulse across the reels, creating a sense of mystery and wonder. The reels themselves are set against a backdrop of shifting shadows and enchanted forests or darkened castles, adding to the feeling of being drawn into a magical, otherworldly realm.

Soundtrack: The soundtrack is eerie and haunting, featuring mystical sound effects that create a sense of suspense. Wind howls, mysterious chimes, and whispers accompany spins, enhancing the supernatural theme.

Reels and Paylines

Reels: Shadow Shifter uses a 5x4 reel layout, with 5 reels and 4 rows. This grid creates a solid playing field for players, offering ample opportunities for winning combinations across the screen.

Paylines: The game typically features 20 paylines, allowing players to form winning combinations from left to right. Each payline must consist of matching symbols to win. Some combinations might also require a specific symbol pattern to activate a bonus feature or special prize.

Symbols

The symbols in Shadow Shifter are designed to fit the theme of the game, with mystical and shadowy elements playing a central role.

High-Paying Symbols:

Shadow Shifter Wild: The Wild symbol is a powerful element in the game. It substitutes for other symbols to form winning combinations and may also trigger special features.

Mystical Creatures: High-paying symbols include mystical creatures such as shadow beasts, fantastical birds, or magical beasts.

Ancient Artifacts: Items like enchanted runes, crystal balls, or ancient scrolls are high-value symbols. These items represent the magical power in the game.

Low-Paying Symbols:

Card Symbols: As is typical in many slots, the lower-value symbols often include standard playing card symbols like A, K, Q, J, and 10, but these are often stylized to match the mystical theme, such as having glowing edges or magical designs.

Wild Symbol:

The wild symbol can substitute for most other symbols in the game (except for scatters) to help create winning combinations. It may also have the ability to trigger special features or multiplier effects.

Scatter Symbol:

The scatter symbol is an important symbol, often linked to triggering the game’s free spins or bonus rounds. It could be a symbol of ancient magic or a dark crystal, representing the power that unlocks the bonus rounds.

Bonus Features

Shadow Shifter offers several exciting features that enhance gameplay and create the potential for big wins.

a) Shifting Symbols

One of the key features of Shadow Shifter is the shifting symbols mechanic. This feature can turn regular symbols into wilds, multiplying symbols, or scatter symbols. It adds a dynamic element to the gameplay, keeping things exciting as symbols change and create new winning opportunities.

How It Works: During any spin, a random symbol on the reels may shift into another symbol, potentially transforming into a wild or high-value symbol to create winning combinations.

b) Free Spins Feature

Landing three or more scatter symbols on the reels will activate the free spins feature. This is one of the main highlights of the game.

How It Works: When activated, the player is awarded a specific number of free spins (usually between 8 and 12 spins, depending on the number of scatters landed).

Shifting Symbols in Free Spins: During the free spins, shifting symbols become more frequent and can result in greater payouts due to the increased chance of wilds and high-value symbols transforming.

c) Multiplier Feature

In some rounds, a multiplier feature can be triggered, boosting payouts for specific winning combinations. This feature can be part of the free spins or could randomly occur during base game play.

Multiplier Symbols: These symbols can appear in certain positions on the reels during free spins and multiply the payout for any winning combination they are part of.

d) Wilds and Stacked Wilds

The wild symbols in Shadow Shifter are an essential part of the game’s success, as they substitute for other symbols and can trigger larger combinations. Stacked wilds may also appear, covering multiple positions on a reel and significantly increasing the potential for large wins.

Shifting Wilds: Occasionally, the wild symbols may shift across the reels, expanding to fill entire columns or rows, increasing the chances of hitting big winning combinations.

e) Shadow Wilds

In some instances, Shadow Wilds will appear randomly and expand to cover an entire reel, giving players the chance to hit massive payouts. The presence of these wilds makes the game even more volatile and exciting.

RTP and Volatility

RTP (Return to Player): The RTP for Shadow Shifter is usually around 96%, which is typical for many of Yggdrasil’s games. This means that over the long term, players can expect an average return of 96% of all wagers made.

Volatility: The game typically has medium to high volatility, meaning players can expect fewer, but larger, payouts. The shifting symbols and multipliers help increase the chances of big wins, particularly during the free spins round.

Betting Range

Minimum Bet: The minimum bet for Shadow Shifter is typically around $0.20 per spin, which makes the game accessible to casual players or those who prefer smaller bets.

Maximum Bet: The maximum bet can be higher, often around $100 per spin, providing an option for high-rollers looking to maximize their potential winnings.

How to Play Shadow Shifter

Set Your Bet: First, select your desired bet size by adjusting the coin value and bet level.

Spin the Reels: Press the spin button to start the game. The goal is to land matching symbols along the paylines or trigger the special features for a chance to win big.

Shifting Symbols: Keep an eye out for the shifting symbols, as they can alter the outcome of a spin and lead to unexpected wins.

Trigger the Free Spins: Landing three or more scatter symbols will activate the free spins feature, where the magic really happens. During free spins, shifting symbols can lead to big multipliers and wilds.

Wilds and Expanding Wilds: Watch for the wild symbols that substitute for other symbols and can significantly increase your chances of winning.

Tips for Playing Shadow Shifter

Take Advantage of Free Spins: The free spins feature is your best chance to land big wins, especially when shifting wilds and multiplying symbols come into play. Try to trigger this feature as often as possible.

Watch for Shifting Symbols: These symbols can be incredibly lucrative, as they have the ability to turn into wilds, scatter symbols, or high-paying symbols, leading to more opportunities for big payouts.

Adjust Your Bet: If you’re playing with a lower bankroll, consider adjusting your bet size to suit your needs. However, if you're looking to trigger the larger bonus features, you may want to increase your bet.

Conclusion

Shadow Shifter is an innovative and visually striking slot game that combines mystical themes, supernatural powers, and exciting bonus features. With shifting symbols, wilds, multipliers, and a free spins round that’s packed with potential, the game offers plenty of opportunities for both casual players and high-rollers. The medium to high volatility keeps the game thrilling and full of surprises, while the RTP of 96% ensures a fair return for players. If you're a fan of dark fantasy and mystical gameplay, Shadow Shifter will certainly provide a memorable gaming experience. 🎰✨

Enter narrow but richly wooded gorge (Dubois’s 2nd Ecluse 1 v. long. vol. 11. 393.) and out of it in 24 minutes – sun and hot but fine air just now, and the valley opens out gradually – Grasshoppers’ noise loud and like that of rather distant guinea fowl – at 11 ¼ pass under the picturesque high almost inaccessible rock-seated castle – 3 towers (2 round and 1 square) and part of old overhanging gallery still remaining over 1 of the round towers – at the wood bridge over the little rapid Lokouni (Dub. ii. 390.) alighted at the bridge (A- went forwards with the people and horses to the church) and took Adam and off to the castle at 11 25/.. – no road – not even a clear path of any kind – all grown up – thick wood all round except a little clear arable land East and rather South east belonging to a little cottage farm below (bridge over Lokouni west side) – pushed our way thro’ the young wood (much oak and hazel) last climbed the hot, bare, dark-coloured rock (no trace of road or former approach) and then climbed 8 or 9ft. of old wall up to the little entrance door (East side) – another wall-stone been a little hotter, it would have been impossible to touch them with the naked hand – got in at 12 – not even goats here – saw no living animal not even a lizard – the court small as usual and encumbered with rubbish and tall rank vegetation and brambles – almost impossible to stir – the round tower north west corner (as it appeared from below) was the little church 5x4 yards long and broad in all except a little narrow vaulted [?] dark aisle on each side; and the overhanging gallery was a plank square tower made up with rubbish but said Adam no! more probably a living room or house over the church and close up against the square tower at north east corner – then a little covered well  then the square tower about middle west side, about 4 yards square or rather more? full of great Koupchines buried up to the neck or above in ground floor – no communication from this room to the room above – and could not get up – then there was another square tower forming the south end of the castle something like a diagram as to irregular shape occupying the whole summit of the jet of rock that finely commands the valley –

Ok... So, every year at Hogwarts, about 5 students are sorted into each house, yes? 5x4 is 20. There are 7 years. 20x7 is 140. That's not a lot of students! Why is that castle so big??? Why is there so much food??? And how do they pay the teachers is there tuition? Someone explain this school to me!

mortia replied to your photoset “The Servant’s Quarters, on the Royal Estate”

What's your plan for having the servants work in the castle when you play the royal family? Assuming that's what you intend at all, lol.

The Servant’s Quarters are actually on the same lot as the Royal Villa. It is a massive 5x4 lot, that I expanded with the Lot Adjuster to build on the Servant’s Quarters.  So, the lot consists of 9 playable Sims, 2 dogs and 1 cat.  It was a bit of a nightmare to play!  I have considered shrinking the lot back down, and rebuilding the Servant’s quarters on its own, but I think that would cause its pwn issues, as well.

The Servant’s basically do all the menial jobs I want the Royalty avoiding.  I envisage Wigulf tending to the horses (filling the [cow] water and food trough until the Sun & Moon horses are eventually released), collecting squab from the dovecote, tending to the cherry trees, collecting tree branches, tending to the fire places, tending to the garden (the dogs dig a lot, despite attempts to train them), training the dogs, and repairing any broken objects.  Edwyna collects the chicken eggs, collects water, cooks and cleans.  Anwyn lives off the nursery and tries to keep the kidlets happy.  She is responsible for teaching the kids skills (although the parents do that too), playing with them, bathing them and feeding them.

My biggest problem was keeping the Servant’s motives in the green.  They are constantly hungry, tired and smelly, which has left the King on occasion serving dinner, or one of the other members of the Royal Family cleaning the bathtub or toilet.  I might have to look for motive boosters, or dump a pot of the mood boosting soup somewhere on the lot.

Hope that wasn’t too rambly.  I am on night shift at the moment and Iam struggling to stay awake!

Minecraft confession:

I used to be a menace of a child who went onto this Minecraft server, joined survival, found an unclaimed base (it was a 5x4 room with a wheat farm next to it) and claimed it as my home base, and then I'd go around finding unclaimed/badly claimed bases and steal their shit to take back to my homebase. it ended up reaching worldheight (big tower) and I had 10 block tall walls around my compound.

one time I stole 9 parrots from someone's base. another time, I stole at LEAST 20 dogs. and another time, I stole 2 cats. and then I stole 2 more parrots. and then I stole another cat. and I stole items you could only get from p2w chests. and I stole EVERYTHING. I stole someone's godhorse. I stole at least 2 stacks of diamonds total. I stole fully enchanted weapons. Each and every time, I would place a crafting table and leave a "how to claim" book that they'd give you with /kit daily. Sometimes I had to leave one, other times I just put the one they already had in plain view.

I ended up with a dog, cat, parrot and horse breeding program where I would sell people pets (there was a /givepet command)

I had a multi layer wheat farm and melon farm. I had a base up to worldheight. (this was before I saw LTN's videos because they didn't exist yet) I had massive castle walls. I started on a basement down. 2/3rds of the rooms were just filled with double chests full of STUFF. And then I left and never returned, because by the time I remembered the server existed they had reset it.

I was a fucking menace child.

Unwind with Relax Gaming's 5 Best Slot Games

There are hundreds of casino software providers in the market that are in a race in providing the best online gambling experience. While most of them have contributed to the grandeur and longevity of the industry through their innovative trademarked products, the search for the ‘best’ name will always be in a grey zone.

What we can suggest, however, is that you can never go wrong with critically acclaimed suppliers. On this page, we give you some of the five best slot games of Relax Gaming. Founded in March 2010, it’s an award-winning B2B multi-product company with offices across Europe.

Theme - Bank heist

Reels and rows -  6x4

Paylines - 4,096

RTP - 96.20% to 97.00%

Volatility - Super high

Free spins - Up to 12 free spins

Take a break from your live dealer poker game, and join The Jaguar and his team to accomplish the biggest heist set in Havana. Once you succeed, you might just take home the max payout up to 49,868x your total stake. The key to this great prize is from the multipliers, which are attached to the mystery symbols and full reel wilds.

2. Money Train 2

Welcome to the wild, wild West! This 5x4 video slot offers a max win of up to 50,000x your bet. That said, that’s not our main case. If you noticed from the game details, Money Train 2 doesn’t come with any free spins feature. Instead, it rewards respins, which have an entirely different purpose. You trigger them every time you win every wild or major line. In this case, they turn up when you land two bonus symbols anywhere on the reels.

Theme - Medieval

Reels and rows - 5x5

Paylines - 30

Relax Gaming invites you to witness the ultimate fight in the 5x5 slot called Snake Arena. Set within the walls of a medieval castle, it’s a battlefield where knights and snakes compete for life, and the winner takes it all. However, in your case, both opponents are the wilds and landing them at the same time activates the free spins feature. 

4. Tower Tumble

Game details:

Theme - Fantasy

Reels and rows - 6x6

Paylines - Cluster pays

RTP - 96.11%

Volatility - Medium

Free spins - Up to 10 free spins

Tap into the magical land, and get the chance to win a max payout of up to 5,150x your stake.
