Emerald Dream Free Slot

Ainsworth's Emerald Dream slot not only captivates players with its visually stunning design and smooth animations but also immerses them in a rich gaming experience filled with symbolism and exciting features. The inclusion of the birthstone-themed green emerald and the stacked wild symbol, embodied by a beguiling woman, adds a touch of mystique to the gameplay. The intricately woven Major, Minor, Maxi, and Mini Bonuses provide an extra layer of excitement, each awarded under specific conditions, ensuring that every spin holds the potential for significant rewards. Moreover, the free spins feature can bag you 8 initial free games and an additional 3. However, the slot hosts a rather slim betting range of $2.50-$50 which is admittedly perfect for newcomers or low rollers. However, the $50 max bet is a rather disappointing capping for the high-rollers. The low RTP of 94.09% paired with the medium variance does not help bag big wins. And honestly, the max winning potentially is limited to a mere 50x, with the regular payouts kissing the lower brackets of 0.2x. Pretty disappointing. Players also get to choose between the Emerald Dream free version and the Emerald Dream real money game. Ainsworth does have slots that appeal to high rollers like, Eagle Bucks with a betting range of $0.1-$2000. Or Prosperity Dragon which comes with 10 free spins and a plethora of bonuses like Choice Feature, Super Choice Feature, Feature Paytable, and so on.

Bonus Features

Quad Shot Bonus

The Major Bonus is granted upon achieving a '5 of a kind' win with Game Symbols, devoid of any substitutes in the winning combination, and alongside a 'QUAD Shot BONUS' symbol. Conversely, the Minor Bonus is earned when a '5 of a kind' win with Game Symbols includes at least one substitute in the winning combination, coupled with a 'QUAD Shot BONUS' symbol. On the other hand, the Maxi Bonus is received through a '5 of a kind' win with Royals, where no substitutes appear in the winning combination, accompanied by a 'QUAD Shot BONUS' symbol. Lastly, the Mini Bonus is secured when a '5 of a kind' Royals win occurs with at least one substitute in the winning combination and a 'QUAD Shot BONUS' symbol. The Emerald Dream demo is ideal for players who want to test out the game before investing real money. 

Bonus Wild Feature

Throughout this feature, the corresponding Feature Paytable comes into effect, with the bet and lines played remaining consistent with the game that activated the feature. Triggered by any 3 or more scatters, 8 free games are initiated, during which 'Lady' and 'Bonus Lady' exclusively grace reels 2, 3, and 4. The symbol 'Emerald' exclusively appears on reels 1 and 5. If 2 scatters emerge, 3 additional free games are granted, and more 'Bonus Lady' symbols are introduced for all remaining free games. 'Bonus Lady' acts as a substitute for all symbols except scatters during the Bonus Wild Feature. Accumulating 7, 8, or 9 'Bonus Lady' symbols leads to Bonus Prizes of 10, 25, or 50, respectively, multiplied by the total bet as displayed. Notably, reel strips differ during the Bonus Wild Feature compared to paid games. 'Bonus Lady' makes an appearance only after the first free game retrigger, while scatter symbols cease to appear after the third free game retrigger.

RTP and Payouts

With a low RTP of   94.09%, paired with medium variance the bonus features are the only saving grace considering the unimpressive paytable. The colored gemstones are the highest-paying icons. The Emerald pays up to 10x while the Amethyst pays between 0.2x-12x, and the Sapphire Rose, the Crystal, and the Ruby each pay in the range of 0.2x-8x. The yellow stone pays 0.2x-6x for 3-5 occurrences during the base game. 

During the bonus feature, the Bonus Lady pays 10x-50x while the Amethyst and the Sapphire Rose pay up to 16x and 12x respectively. The low-value icons of A, K, and Q pay in the range of 0.2x-4x during base play as well as during feature play while J, 9, and 10 pay in the range of 0.2x-2x during both plays.  

Max Win and Top Multiplier

Players can win a max multiplier of 50x at the max bet when the bonus features are in full swing.
