Nrvna has been discontinued. Why not try Neon Fruits from 1X2 Gaming instead?
The Wombat says: Nirvana. No, not the seminal 90s grunge band from Seattle, but ‘a transcendent state in which there is neither suffering, desire, nor sense of self, the final goal of Buddhism’. Although NRVNA slot from NetEnt is missing a few vowels, the game is loosely based on this chilled-out spiritual state, which is a bit weird let’s face it, but kind of nice too.
All this talk of enlightenment reminds me of when my cousin Stevo went through one of those ‘finding yourself’ phases. Sadly, he just got himself lost in Northern India for a few years instead. Oh the irony. As you can probably guess, spiritual malarky isn’t really up this wombat’s street, but there is one meditative trance I don’t mind being in and that’s the spin, spin & spinning. So let’s get back to Nirvana (sorry, NRVNA) and how to scoop you tons of karma-friendly cash.
Look and Feel
NRVNA is a 5-reel slot with 3 rows and 30 pay-lines. It’s a nice-looking game and shares some similarities with other classic NetEnt slots like Starbust, the newer Joker Pro slot and Glow. NRVNA’s futuristic and minimalistic graphics combined with the hypnotic soundtrack and tinkly sound effects will get you by the goolies more than any long-drawn out ‘Ommm’ ever could. Basically, it’s so relaxing you might just nod off…
When you compare Nrvna with older games like the Adventure Palace slot, Irish Eyes and the Shoot! Slot you can see just how far things have moved on in Slot Land!
Game Play
Set against a space-like backdrop, your reels include symbols that are surprisingly traditional (given the other-wordly theme of the game) and include; Cherries, Sevens, Bells, a Four-Leaf Clover and also a Horseshoe. The lower values symbols are your standard playing cards 10, J, Q, K and A.
All the symbols glow, so I reckon plenty of good karma & love has been channeled into this game, but it’s the Cherry symbol that’s the highest paying symbol on the reels. This juicy mother will land you 2,000 coins for a 5x combo – which could put an end to all your earthly sufferings (at least temporarily), let’s be honest.
Bonus Features
Then there two special symbols which are bit mental. Yes, Wombat fans, we are actually talking about orbs now! The first one is the glowing pink orbstone, which acts as as Wild and will substitute all symbols except from Scatter. The aura in this gem is so ruddy powerful, it boosts any winning combo it appears in with a 3x multiplier!
Then there’s the orange orbstone, which makes up your Scatter and will trigger off the highly rewarding Free Spin bonus. 3x of these glowing bad boys will give you 10 Free Spins, 4x Scatter symbols doles out 15, and 5x of them awards you a whopping 30 Spins.
After each winning spin during the Free Spin bonus, a wheel descends from the top of the screen and gives you the chance to win additional multipliers (from 2x – 10x) as well as up to 2 extra free spins! We really couldn’t be any more chilled out right now…
Conclusion
NRVNA slot keeps things simple, and this wombat enjoyed the calm almost zen-like gameplay for a change. We will probably keep going back to this one, until we either find enlightenment or hit the jackpot – whichever one comes first! Good luck!
