Crystal Rift

Crystal Rift is a futuristic slots game with a focus on matching crystal formations inside what might just be an intergalactic cave. Are there precious resources out there, waiting to be mined? Microgaming certainly make it seem so, in this slots title that puts a unique spin on the standard format of slots play.

The graphics are attractive, with each of the symbols sharply drawn for a realistic look. The action takes place on a reel set located within what looks to be a cave, with the suitably epic and eerily atmospheric sound track only adding to the experience. But once you get into the action, it quickly becomes apparent that there are some cool features in this game you won’t find in any old slot.

The action unfolds on a reel set that’s five by three – five reels across, at three positions high per reel. So far, so standard. But it’s only when you start landing winning combinations that you notice one of the key elements of Crystal Rift. With every win, the symbols explode off the reels, leaving vacant reel positions. This causes symbols to cascade from above, giving you opportunities to win several times on each spin as new combinations fall into place. This is where some of the biggest wins from each spin can be found, with multiple win spins capable of paying significantly more than a single win spin.

The symbols themselves are all crystals of varying colours and shapes. Match any three or more of these crystals across any of the 25 supported paylines, and you’ll be in line for a win. Wins are paid out as a multiple of your per spin bet, based on the value of your combination win – higher value symbols and bigger combinations pay out at a much larger multiple.

On a per spin basis, bets can range from as little as 25p (£0.01/payline) up to £50.00 (£2.00/payline), so there’s room for those who want to push a little further in the hope of securing that next big win. With a main jackpot at 1,000x, the biggest wins available here are far from shabby.

RTP comes in at an impressive 96.00% to complete a slots game that’s well worth a spin or two, for its high paying potential and exciting gameplay features. In addition to the falling reels, there are also feature symbols and other extras that can help you win big as you spin through Crystal Rift.

Feature Symbols

The wild symbol is the cluster of clear gems, acting like any matching symbol that would complete a payline when it arises on your board. If you line up a combination either side of a wild, or a wild can be used in to start any combination from left to right, you’ll get paid as if you’d landed the complete combination. So it’s fair to say the wild symbol is usually pretty useful whenever it turns up.

The main bonus feature is known as ‘bonus falls’, where symbols tumble downwards on the reels after every winning spin to create more possible combinations. This continues through multiple cycles until you find no combinations – getting on a roll with this feature can lead to some decent feature spin wins.

Bonuses & Jackpots

When a combination is landed, symbols explode to create vacant positions. By the force of gravity, reel symbols fall from above, with new symbols appearing on the reels, as well as potentially finding more winning combinations on the way.

There’s also a feature known as Wild Grids, active during each Bonus Fall. This is a grid layout overlaid on top of the reels. Land three Bonus Falls in a row, and you turn every symbol in the random Wild Grid layout wild, in force for one final respin. As you can imagine, a favourable layout can deliver some decent wins from this final spin alone – and that’s on top of landing your three or more combinations.
