15 Crystal Roses A Tale of Love

15 Crystal Roses: Slot Overview

Sorry League of Legends fans, 15 Crystal Roses has nothing to do with Zyra, Swain, or skins of any kind from your game. Instead, 15 Crystal Roses is a glimpse into Play'n GO's softer side, a place for hopeless romantics to lose themselves and maybe find true romance? If not, there's plenty of longing going on, not to mention some good old fashioned hardcore gambling on tap. Much of it is built off The Sword and the Grail, so players can look forward to big multiplier wild action of up to x100, a new stacked scatter concept, and impressive potential to match.

When 15 Crystal Roses loads, you might be forgiven for thinking you've tripped and fallen into a Mills & Boon cover. Welcome to an idealistic world of chivalry where it wouldn't be a surprise to see men in perpetually soiled jackets after forever laying them down in puddles for ladies to walk on. Stallions abound, and everyone seems to possess a wistful expression while staring soulfully at the horizon. While 15 Crystal Roses feels like the sort of game a certain audience will go gaga for, the solid gameplay might make it a guilty pleasure for others who fire it up without telling their friends.

In the centre of this mysteriously misty realm is a 5-reel, 3-row game panel with 20 fixed paylines. When it comes to the math model, 15 Crystal Roses' high (9/10) volatility is like one of those couples that loves, bickers, splits up, gets back together, and does it all over again. The RTP is just as fickle, ranging from a default value of 96.2% down in increments to a floor level of 84.2%. Any device can be used to get the passions inflamed, while stakes range from 10 p/c to $/€100 per spin.

Players collect a win when at least three matching symbols line up in adjacent reels from the left side of the grid, and there are 9 normal pays involved. The first five are stone shaped, royal imprinted 10-A tiles, while the highs are vases, horses, Lancelot, and Elaine. Landing five low pays will get you a payout of 2-4x the bet, while five premiums are worth 7.5 to 25 times your stake. Double that amount for the love wild symbol, 50x for five, which lands in any reel to replace all of the regular symbols. At times wilds may appear with multipliers; let's take a look.

15 Crystal Roses: Slot Features

As well as the multiplier wild we hinted at, 15 Crystal Roses comes with a stacked scatter feature and free spins.

Multiplier Wilds

On any spin, the love wild symbol can randomly appear as a multiplier wild. If it does, the values it can hold are x2, x3, x5, x10, or x100. When a win is formed, including a multiplier wild, its value is magnified by the wild's value. Only 1 wild multiplier per winning payline will apply.

Stacked Scatter Feature

The Crystal Rose is the scatter which lands on all reels. On any spin, the Crystal Scatter feature may randomly activate, stacking Crystal Rose scatters 3-high.

Free Spins

However they turn up, having 3 or more scatter symbols in view triggers the free spins bonus game. In free spins, the goal is to collect Crystal Rose scatters to increase the multiplier wild value for the rest of the feature. During the round, the multiplier wild is permanently active. Here is how free spins and multiplier wilds are awarded:

• 3+ Crystal Rose Scatters – 3 initial free spins with an x2 multiplier wild.
• 6+ Crystal Rose Scatters – 6 initial free spins with an x3 multiplier wild.
• 9+ Crystal Rose Scatters – 9 initial free spins with an x5 multiplier wild.
• 12+ Crystal Rose Scatters – 12 initial free spins with an x10 multiplier wild.
• 15 Crystal Rose Scatters – 15 initial free spins with an x100 multiplier wild.

Every 3 scatters collected during the bonus round awards +3 additional free spins and increases the multiplier wild value. After 15 Crystal Roses have been collected, they are removed from the reels so no additional free spins can be won.

15 Crystal Roses: Slot Verdict

Play'n GO do like their Arthurian related slots, and 15 Crystal Roses offers something a little different, thematically speaking. The era has been highly romanticised for centuries, and 15 Crystal Roses is another in a long line of retellings. The game might be fun if you are keen on tapping into the spirit of the age, plus the features aren't half bad either.

However, on the whole, 15 Crystal Roses doesn't do a heck of a lot other Play'n GO games haven't done in the past. It closely follows The Sword and the Grail with the addition of a stacked scatter feature and a few tweaks to the bonus round. This time, there are more levels to progress through, though fewer free spins to do it in. The ultimate goal remains the same, however – bag the x100 multiplier, and hopefully, it'll show up on the reels as much as possible. With that thing on the loose, 15 Crystal Roses is technically capable of creating payouts as high as 10,000x the bet. The same as the Grail game, if you were wondering.

No, 15 Crystal Roses is not for everyone, but if you're the sort of person who plucks petals off flowers to work out if the object of your desire is crushing on you, it might be worth a look. Of course, we're joking around a bit (and aren't judging) since 15 Crystal Roses would technically be suitable for anyone looking for a slot with big wild multipliers and plenty of bite. If you like what Play'n GO pulled off in The Sword and the Grail, then that would probably be enough of an excuse to have a go at 15 Crystal Roses, as well. If the whole romance and roses thing doesn't feel too sentimental, what's leftover has plenty to offer.
