Relax Gaming dropped Epic Dreams in April 2024, and honestly it's one of the weirder concepts they've shipped. A sleeping sloth dreams up a forest amusement park, and you spin a 6×7 grid with 117,649 ways to win. No Wild. No Scatter. That's unusual for a ways slot, and it changes how the math feels from the first spin.
The symbols are faceted gemstones cut into card-suit shapes, with hearts as the premium that pay from just two-of-a-kind. Wins trigger a tumble, but here's the twist: instead of removing individual symbols, the mechanic clears entire rows of stone tiles. Each clear sometimes reveals a coin, and those coins matter for triggering bonuses.
RTP sits at 96.10% for base play, bumping to 96.50% if you grab the buy. Volatility is high, max win caps at 5,000x, and bets run from 0.10 to 200 EUR. Is 5,000x modest for a 2024 release? Yeah, it is. Most modern math models push 10,000x or higher. Relax went a different direction, and the cap is reachable only by maxing level 50 in either bonus.
Bonus Pick is where Epic Dreams gets genuinely interesting. You choose between two completely separate games: Dig sends you 50 levels underground, while Build stacks you 50 levels into the sky. Different mechanics, different feel, different volatility profile. Collect three Super Orbs during regular play and you unlock the Super versions, which are tougher to trigger but pay much harder.
Bonus Buy options exist for players who hate waiting. Pay 50x your stake for the standard Bonus Pick, or push to 250x for Super Bonus Pick. The 250x buy is the realistic path to that 5,000x ceiling, though hitting level 50 of either game is rare even with the boost.
The art direction deserves a mention. Sloth in a hammock, dreaming of a fairground, gemstone symbols catching light, tumbles that feel chunky rather than slippery. It's cohesive and weird in a good way. The math model won't be for everyone, especially fans chasing massive multipliers, but the dual-bonus structure gives Epic Dreams replay value most ways slots can't match. Pick Dig if you want depth, pick Build if you want height. Or just buy both eventually.
