Play Paradise Found for Free

Paradise Found is a modern slot from Microgaming which opts to take on a theme that is quite rare. It's not every day that you will come across a slot that aims to send its players into a state of pleasant quietude! This game does that and then some thanks to its sublime setting in the foothills of the mountains and its simply designed aesthetic with only 9 game symbols.

This keeps the game's 5 reels free from clutter with game symbols that convey a sense of peace as well as prosperity. There is a magically sparkling goblet, an ornate lantern and a trusty yak. The game also features a couple of special symbols such as a wistful explorer who serves as the games scatter symbol. This is the most valuable symbol in the entire game and it doesn't have to adhere to any paylines to pay out. So, if you were to find one of these cards in any position over the each of the 5 reels, then you would return a win of 20,000 coins (from a maximum bet).

The other special symbols that can be found in this game are very prosperous indeed. The calming lotus flower appears on the first and fifth reel of the normal base game and it acts as a wild symbol by completing winning lines. The only cards which this wild lotus flower won't fill in for are the explorer scatter card and the grand Tibetan monastery symbol.

Whenever a wild lotus flower appears on reel 1 at the same time as a monastery symbol on reel 5, a special bonus feature will be triggered. This game differs from most other bonus games because instead of awarding free spins or a bonus side game, it will actually hold all of the reels in position for 10 turns.

That may not sound like a very good prospect for your winnings, but it may actually pay out a nice sum. How? Because during these 10 turns, the wild lotus flower will randomly appear on the second, third and fourth reels to create winning combinations in a fairly rare shifting wilds feature.

Despite its laid-back theme, this slot machine does actually give bettors a lot of scope to lay down big wagers. In fact, the maximum bet that you can place for any one spin is 200.00 coins making it a high limit game if you want it to be. Of course, you can take it easy and bet less than that by altering the game's total bet amount. This can be done simply and easily by toggling the “Coins” and “Lines” options as well as the size of the coins by clicking the (-) and (+) buttons.

Essentially, the total bet amount is calculated by multiplying these three variables together. You can choose to have anywhere between 1 and 20 pay lines in play and you can wager up to 10 coins per active pay line. The coin denominations available are 0.01, 0.02, 0.05, 0.10, 0.20, 0.25, 0.50 and 1.00.

You can fiddle around with all of these options until you come across the right total bet to meet your needs. If you want to see how much each winning combination will pay out then you can simply look at the automatically updated pay-tables via the “View Pays” link.

Paradise Found may come across as quite a tame slot machine with its serene and tranquil theme. However, as players will soon find out, this game can actually provide some heart-in-mouth moments due to the fact that you can put a very big stake into each spin. The only problem is that there perhaps aren't enough special features to help turn these big bets into big winnings.

Spinners may well find that paradise is still lost as they fail to make any substantial profits.
