This game is no longer available at Wombat Casino. Sorry about that chaps! Why not have a spin on Mystic Wheel from Red Tiger Gaming instead?
The wombat says: OK we’re months away from Halloween, but fans of spine-chilling slots and horror movies will love Mythic Maiden. So what’s it all about? Well, Iron Maidens were nasty medieval torture devices that were box-like coffins with iron spikes on the inside. Or long-haired heavy metal dudes moonlighting as airline pilots of course. It’s all a long way from the Casper slot featuring everyone’s favourite friendly ghost.
It’s the historical horrors that NetEnt Gaming has chosen to take as their terrifying theme in the Mythic Maiden slot.
This wombat had a real scare while reviewing the game, to be honest, and that locked chest with a glowing face on it made me jump. Eek!
Look and Feel
Overall the graphics in the game are good, just as you’d come to expect from a NetEnt release. One of the symbols looks like she’s just stepped out of the Hells Grannies slot -looking mean!
The reels are set against the backdrop of a creepy attic in dire need of a proper spring clean, filled with chilling artefacts and unfriendly-looking spiders (Mrs. Wombat would do her nut up there!).
Then there are chests and boxes filled with dusty relics, tribal masks, old maps and goodness knows what else. Add some spooky sound effects that include howling winds and floorboards creaking and you get one ruddy scary slot!
All in all top-class graphics from the makers of the Hansel and Gretel slot– you’re going to love ’em!
Mythic Maiden Slot Game Play
The Mythic Maiden slot has three rows, five reels and 30 pay lines. Your creepy symbols include a spider with a red cross on its back, a big tome being held by a skeleton’s hand, an old red leather chest, the skull of what looks like an extinct animal, and a weird voodoo shrunken head complete with its lips sewn up.
Your lower-paying symbols in the slot are the standard set of playing cards (10, J, Q, K & A) – which have been made to look more interesting than usual, and are carved out of melted wax candles.
The Wild symbol in the game is the Moon/Skull symbol, and it will do the usual job of substituting for all symbols on the reels to make winning combos for you. The Wilds will also give you a 3x multiplier on any wins it’s included in during the base game and the Free Spins, too. Excellent!
Spooky Scatters and Free Spins
The Scatter symbol in the game is the glowing red and purple orb of light. Land three of these shiny beauties anywhere on the reels and you’ll set off the Free Spins Bonus.
Next, the Mythic Maiden’s tomb will creak open to reveal which multiplier you’ll receive – from 1x up to 10x – and it will also offer you either one or two extra Free Spins.
The number of spins you’ll receive in the round depends on how many Moon Scatters you landed in the first place. Three, four or five will scoop you an impressive 10, 15 or 30 free spins respectively.
The Free Spins can also be re-triggered, by landing three more Scatter symbols during the bonus.
Conclusion
All in all, a very entertaining game with a lucrative Free Spins round and some excellent creepy touches. Give the Mythic Maiden slot a spin, you won’t be disappointed.
