The Legend Of Shangri — La

Updated Written and checked by the Casinos-Online editorial team
Then it was finally time for Netent to launch its latest addition to the Cluster Pays series. The Legend of Shangri-La is set in the magical Shangri-La where Wise monks will give you guidance and help increase your winnings as much as possible. Netent had harmony and happiness in mind when creating The Legend of Shangri-La, and this is reflected in both the vivid graphics as well as the matching sounds, not to mention the game's high payout figure. The free spins round takes place on top of an iceberg where a vengeful Dragon is rampaging freely. There is a fight between the monk and the Dragon. This manifests itself in the form of substitutes on the wheels. But the new slot machine offers more than freespins and nice graphics, we go into the details!

Symbols and functions

Already when you fix your eyes on the slot machine's Spin button, you realize that they thought of the details to the smallest detail. It is a Yin and Yang symbol that sets the reels in motion in The Legend of Shangri-La.

Stacked symbols

Shangri-La symbolsAnywhere in the game, symbols of Gurus and Free Spins can appear as stacked symbols across the reels. During Sticky re-spins and when the Guru symbols are affected by a substitute, they cover an entire section. If a substitute symbol lands on a stacked Guru and transforms, the visible part of the Guru will transform into a single version. They can be either fully or only partially visible depending on how they land.

Replacement symbols

Shangri-La substituteSymbols that have the substituting Factor take the form of the adjacent symbol to create the highest possible win. If a winning combination is not possible, nothing happens to the symbols. Should it be the case that only substitute symbols land on the reels, they trigger in and take the form of the highest paying symbol in the game.

Random substitutes

Random substitutes can be activated when 2 clusters of the same symbol land on the reels in the main round of the game. Each cluster must consist of at least 4 Symbols. If this bonus feature is activated, at least 1 substitute symbol is added to the reels, just next to the adjacent symbol in the cluster. Several symbols are then added until a win appears. These symbols always land next to the clusters or other substitute symbols. However, never on reels 1 or 6.

The feature cannot be activated if 3 or more free spins symbols appear, either in whole or in part. The same applies if the Nudge Reel function is activated.

Sticky Re-Spins

This feature is activated when at least 2 clusters without a win, but of the same symbol, appear somewhere on the reels. If there are 2 symbols that meet the criterion, the lowest paying symbol is activated. Each cluster must consist of at least 5 symbols and a maximum of 8.

During Sticky re-spins, it is not possible to win with any other symbol except the one that activated the game round. That symbol then gets stuck on the reels while all the others are spun. This particular feature cannot be activated at the same time as another feature has been triggered or if another win occurs.

Nudge Reel

This feature is really delightfully unique! It's just as it sounds, “push to the wheel”.

If 2 or more free spins symbols land on the reels and another free spins symbol lands to the right of these (just outside the visible reel area) then that symbol can be pushed back onto the reels to trigger the free spins round.

The Nudge Reel will not be triggered if the nudge could increase, decrease or create a win cluster. If there are more symbols that can be selected, it will be the one on the far left. Any klas wins that appear at the same time as the feature is triggered will be calculated before the wheel gets a push.

Free spins

The Scatter symbol activates the free spins in the usual order, and there are 3 or more that apply.

  • 3 Scatters:5 free spins
  • 4 Scatters:6 free spins
  • 5 Scatters:7 free spins
  • 6 Scatters:8 free spins

Random substitutes will both be added and disappear from the reels in the free spins round. The first 2 replacement symbols will be placed randomly across the reels. The other substitutes will land close to the clusters formed by the first 2 substitutes.

Between 2 and 6 replacement symbols land on the reels after each spin and when the reels have come to a complete stop. If these can create a winning pattern, they will transform into the chosen symbol. Potential winnings are then counted towards the total winnings for free spins. The symbols that were originally substitutes return to their original form. Between 1 and 4 substitutes are picked off the reels from random positions before each spin. At least 2 replacement symbols remain in play between each spin.

Extra spins

If the total win from the free spins round is less than 10x your bet value, another spin can be activated. In this game round, no substitutes are removed from the reels. The extra spin cannot be triggered more than once in the same free spins round.
