Babylon Riches

NetEnt's Babylon Riches slot takes players on a journey to the ancient Mesopotamian city of Babylon, known for its Hanging Gardens, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The game features a visually striking backdrop depicting the lush gardens with golden accents and majestic statues. The overall atmosphere evokes a sense of grandeur and mystery associated with this historic civilization.

Slot Symbols:

The slot features a mix of low-paying and high-paying symbols. The low-paying symbols consist of classic card suit icons (clubs, diamonds, hearts, and spades) adorned with intricate patterns. High-paying symbols showcase mythical animal representations: a serpent, phoenix, ram, lion, and bull. A Scatter symbol, depicted as a circular cosmos icon with constellations and the word “Scatter,” triggers the Free Spins bonus.

Wild Symbol:

The Wild symbol in Babylon Riches is a majestic depiction of a wise king with a long beard and an ornate crown. It substitutes for all regular paying symbols to form winning combinations. However, the Wild symbol can only appear on the reels through frame reveals, which are part of the game's special mechanic.

Scatter Symbol:

As mentioned earlier, the Scatter symbol is a circular icon showcasing a starry cosmos with the word “Scatter” prominently displayed. Landing 2 Scatter symbols on the first (leftmost) and fifth (rightmost) reels triggers the Free Spins bonus round.

Bonus Features:

• Cycle Rounds: This unique mechanic is central to Babylon Riches' gameplay. Every seven spins, special non-paying symbols land on the reels. These symbols leave frames on their positions, which remain until the eighth spin. On the eighth spin (the Cycle Round), all frames or newly appearing special symbols transform into one of the following:
  • Regular Wild: Substitutes for all regular paying symbols.
  • Multiplier Wild: Substitutes for all regular paying symbols and applies a multiplier of 2x, 3x, or 8x to the wins it participates in. Multiple Multiplier Wilds in a winning combination can have their multipliers added together before application.
  • Symbol Multiplier: Reveals a multiplier of 4x, 6x, or 16x that applies to all winning combinations containing the corresponding symbol. Multiple Symbol Multipliers for the same symbol can have their multipliers added together before application.
• Free Spins: Landing 2 Scatter symbols triggers 8 Free Spins. The feature can be retriggered by landing another 2 Scatter symbols during Free Spins, awarding an additional 8 spins. Unlike the main game, frames from the Cycle Rounds do not carry over to Free Spins. Instead, 2 to 8 frames appear on each Free Spin, potentially revealing Wilds, Multipliers, or Cash Prizes up to 20x the bet. Importantly, symbols with Cash Prizes can still contribute to winning combinations.

Interesting Feature:

The Cycle Rounds in Babylon Riches add a layer of anticipation and excitement to the gameplay. Every seven spins, players look forward to the potential transformation of frame symbols into valuable Wilds, Multiplier Wilds, or Symbol Multipliers, creating opportunities for significant wins. This mechanic keeps the base game engaging and dynamic, as players wait to see what the next Cycle Round will bring.
