Land of Unicorn Slot
Call me a pedant, though I’m sure there is supposed to be a ‘the’ in the title there somewhere. Anyway, this mobile compatible slot is very much based in the fantasy genre. In addition to the unicorn mentioned in the title, there is a dragon, princess and castle in the clouds. Even the music is medieval. This is a simple slot which focuses on the smooth game play. There is a free spins bonus feature with doubled wins – making the maximum single line prize up to 18,000 coins. This is the kind of slot to put on auto spin while you relax and wait for the wins to hit.
Graphically, this is quite a detailed game, though the symbols are created with distinctive colours to make them work on smaller (phone sized) screens. The background of the reels shows a majestic unicorn rearing up, both by day and by night. The vivid colours highlight a typically multi-turreted castle, armour-wearing warrior and proud looking dragon. The unicorn on the reels looks more like a picture from a medieval hand-scribed book. Playing cards complete the theme, with lavish decorations. The music is plodding, though not unpleasant. There are flaming sound effects when the dragon is involved in a win (along with a flame animation) and a metallic sound like a sword hitting another when you spin the reels.
Setup and Play for Land of Unicorn
This game uses the 9 line setup over 5 reels which Viaden base a lot of their mobile slots on. This number can be changed, and you can choose your coins per line in the range of 10c through to 50c. Assuming you stick with the maximum 9 lines this makes the spin costs range from 90c though to $4.50c. You will be given the opportunity to gamble after any win; a button appears below the ‘spin’ button offering this. There are also bet max and auto-spin options available.
If you prefer you can play a fast mode version of this game, via the settings at the top of the screen. This means that the reels will not spin, significantly speeding up the game. You can also choose the relative levels of sounds and mute the music.
The biggest win comes from getting 5 wild symbols on any one win line. This is the dragon symbol. The pay-out is a healthy 9000 coins (remember wins are also doubled during the free spins bonus). There is a consolation prize of 2500 coins for 4, with 250 for 3 and 10 for just 2 wild symbols. This dragon also substitutes for the regular symbols; if it is involved in making a winning combination then that prize is doubled.
Those regular symbols are topped by the unicorn and castle – each worth 750 coins for 5 on a line. The eagle comes next at 400 for a full house, and then the princess and warrior are worth 250. There are 5 playing card symbols, which make up the smaller wins.
There is one more symbol, which is a tree with the word ‘Bonus’ written on it. This is a scatter symbol, which pays out for between 2 and 5 anywhere on the reels. It also triggers the free spins bonus game. You will get a top prize of 500 times your total bet for 5 on the reels, 20x for 4, 5x for 3 and 2x for just 2. 3 or more gets you 15 free spins.
Land of Unicorn Bonus Game
You will get 15 free spins to start the feature, though you can add 15 more any time you hit 3+ of the bonus symbols during play. The reels stay the same, with only the countdown of your remaining spins to show you are inside the bonus game. The biggest difference is that any win you hit is doubled while the free spins are going on – this is after any multiplier from the wild symbol.
Land of Unicorn – Conclusion
This slot has a nice balance. The graphics are excellent, with thought put in to how it works on small screen sizes as well as great detail of bigger screens. The play is relatively simple, with only the potential for a big win to hold your interest. Doubling wins for the free spins does lead to a peak in excitement – though having said that this is not the most intensive or engaging slot. If you enjoy the fantasy themed games, then this is certainly one to check out for yourself.
