Play Symmetry for Free

Are you the kind of person who has a bit of a weird obsession with neatness? Then Symmetry by Realistic Games is the perfect slot for you. That is because the gameplay is all based upon finding perfectly neat patterns on the reels for bigger and better prize returns, but we’ll talk more about that later. First, lets take a look at what kind of icons we can expect to find upon the slot machine.

In truth, there isn’t anything too out of the ordinary to report back on and the game easily falls into the gems and crystals category in the slot machine genre-list. So, expect to find purple amethysts, blue sapphires, red rubies and white diamonds as well as a couple of other valuable items such as wads of cash and stacks of golden bars. All of the symbols in the game are designed to a decent standard, revealing clearly defined gems that catch the light and the spinner’s eye. The reels are also set over an elaborate, albeit dark, frame, adding a nice aesthetic touch as well as a hint of mystery.

All of this video slot’s mysteries lie in the gameplay, because that is where real attraction lies. With 5 reels, 10 paylines and a relatively high variance level, this slot is not going to appease punters who want quick and instant wins on a regular basis. However, there are plenty of rewards for those who stick it out for the big wins. The game allows spinners of all levels to enjoy the action with minimum bets as little as 0.10 credits and maximum bets of 100 credits.

One of Symmetry’s most important gameplay elements is the fact that wins can be lined up whenever three matching symbols land on a payline on adjacent reels. This basically means that you can find a winning combination that runs from reels 2 to 4 or from reels 3 to 5, instead of the customary left-to-right from the first reel gameplay of most conventional video slots. Should spinners find five ‘Jackpot’ icons, they will multiply their line bet by 250x.

That top prize of 250x doesn’t sound that impressive for a high volatility slot machine, but this is where it gets interesting. Symmetry plays with stacked icons, meaning that you can easily trigger multiple paylines at once for bigger overall prize returns. What’s more, players who happen to find all stacked icons on all five reels - the stacked icons don’t need to match - will be given the chance to re-spin the game with one randomly selected reel frozen in position. This re-spin offers higher chances of finding icons from the frozen reel for some ‘Big Win’ action. If players manage to find perfect symmetry across the stacked icons - meaning that reels 1 and 5 are the same and reels 2 and 4 are the same - the re-spin will guarantee a full-house of the randomly selected symbol.

While you would find it difficult to find a slot machine which offers the exact same gameplay features as Symmetry, you wouldn’t find it hard to come across a slot with a jewel theme. Plus, most of these simply themed games do tend to serve up something a bit different when it comes to the bonus elements, meaning that there is more variety on offer than you might first imagine. Gem Drop by Play’n Go provides the chance to win one of three progressive jackpots while Hot Gems by Playtech has collapsing reels and the chance to tally up wins with free spins.

Symmetry is a slot machine that is more interesting than its simple theme might suggest. Of course, you can easily find other slots online with bigger jewels and shinier gems, and you can certainly find more lucrative jackpot prize multipliers too. However, the real merit of this game lies in its unique gameplay features, which might just prove to be very rewarding to some lucky punters.
