Highland Reels

Are you ready to travel to the wonderful country of Scotland and become a part of their iconic event?

With Highland Reels by EYECON casino software you will get to partake in various exciting games!

This online one-armed bandit features a standard 5x3 grid layout with up to 25 active paylines, cartoonish graphics and realistic sound effects.

It also comes with some special features as well – Hammer Throw, Caber Toss, Free Games and Wild Symbol!

Theme and Symbols

Loading up this Scottish-themed online game, you will find yourself on a green field where the aforementioned event will take place.

In the background you will see the audience proudly waving their banners as they cheer on the brave participants.

Taking a look at the pay table, you will discover symbols such as kilts of different colors, cabers, logs, all representing mid to high paying symbols, while the ones that provide lower awards take the form of card symbols A-9, all coming in an interesting style that fits well with the atmosphere.

Betting Options and Other Functions

While the betting options don’t provide that many choices in the higher-end, there is still a plethora of available options.

To start things off, you will be able to choose on how many out of 25 active paylines (read more here) you would like to play, which is something that punters who prefer having more control when placing their bets seem to enjoy.

You will then have the option to select your desired bet per each of paylines, starting at only 0.01 credits and going up to 0.50 credits, amounting to 0.25 credits for minimum and 12.5 credits for maximum bet for all paylines covered.

Despite coming with a below-average RTP of 95.05%, payout potential is still fairly decent, mostly thanks to the highest win that will award a payout of 3,000 times your bet!

Special Features

• Wild Symbol – The Wild Symbol appears only on reels 2 and 4, in the form of a golden cup that will not only substitute all symbols other than Hammer and Scotsman, but also double the winning amount of each winning combination it helps form!
• Hammer Throw – This feature is triggered when you land 3 or more Hammers anywhere on the reels. You will then pick hammer targets until you match 2 of the same kind, which will mean this feature ends. Depending on which targets you pick, you can reveal multipliers that vary between 2x to 100x!
• Caber Toss – Similar to the Hammer Throw feature, in order to trigger this feature you will need to land 3 or more Scotsman symbols, awarding you with one pick for each one you managed. On each pick, a fierce Scotsman will toss a caber that can either reveal a prize of up to 100 times your stake or 10 Free Games!

Verdict

All said and done, EYECON did an excellent job with Highland Reels, further expanding their growing portfolio with a Scottish-themed addition.

Although some players mind find the lack of higher betting options a bit disappointing, it still comes with interesting features that will attract players who are fans of Scotland culture!
