Avatars: Gateway Guardians Review

Avatars Gateway Guardians is an Yggdrasil game that plays out on a circular stone reel set with 3 different wheels that spin independently of each other. The theme is inspired by ancient greece, but it has a futuristic feel to it, which is an interesting paradox. The Hot Spot feature runs straight through the heart of this game, and the main attraction is the free spins feature.

The reel set kind of looks like a pizza made of stone, and each “pizza slice” is cut into 3 sections. Only part of each symbol can land on any given section, and you need to fill a “pizza slice” with 3 matching symbols (and thus complete the symbol) in order to win. A Hot Spot will highlight a randomly chosen “pizza slice” on all spins, and when you land a winner in a Hot Spot, you will trigger the Multiplier Wheel.

In the free spins feature you can benefit from as much as 8 Hot Spots, and you will always benefit from at least 2 Hot Spots here. The more Hot Spots, the bigger your chances are for getting massive multiplier wins, and you can even get many tries at the Multiplier Wheel in a row during the free spins. This is a highly volatile game, and you can win up to 2,525x your stake here.

What symbols are there?

The highest value symbols here are the 4 guardians, whereas the red greek-style mask is the highest value symbol. The low value symbols are what looks like pizza slices made of stone, with 3 different color lights on them. The reels are round, and you need to line up 3 matching symbols on a section to win. Here is the paytable for Avatars Gateway Guardians slot:

• Red Guardian - Pays 40x for 3 lined up on a section
• Purple Guardian - Pays 20x for 3 lined up on a section
• Green Guardian - Pays 10x for 3 lined up on a section
• Blue Guardian - Pays 5x for 3 lined up on a section
• Purple, Green & Blue dot lights - Pay either 2x or 1x 3 for lined up on a section

What are the bonus features?

There is a Hot Spot feature that is very central to this game, and it comes into play in both the base game and during the free spins feature. You will soon notice that certain sections of the reels are highlighted, and these are the Hot Spots. If you land a completed symbol within such a Hot Spot, you will activate a Multiplier Wheel of Fortune.

This Multiplier Wheel is found under the reels, and it spins horizontally. You can combine several multiplier values here, and the Wheel does not stop until you land on the payout symbol. Please note, however, that the multiplier is capped at a maximum of 101x. Your win is thus calculated, and you get the payout.

Free spins in Avatars Gateway Guardians

You trigger the free spins feature when you land 3 free spin scatter symbols anywhere on the same spin. This will give you 8 free spins, and the way you land your scatter symbols will also affect the number of Hot Spots you will benefit from during the free spins round.

If you land 0, 1, 2 or 3 parts of the scatter symbol in a Hot Spot, you will get 2, 4, 6 or 8 Hot Spots during the free spins feature, respectively. If you land more than 1 free spin symbol in a Hot Spot during the feature, you will get as many turns at the Multiplier Wheel as you landed scatter parts in a Hot Spot.

What is the jackpot (max win)?

The game does not come with a jackpot, and the official max win is set at 2,525 times your stake. That being said, it’s still possible to win more, at least theoretically, via the 101x multiplier. The highest value symbol combined with the highest possible multiplier of 101x, could land you wins up to 4,040 times your stake, but it’s just not very likely to happen. Anyway, if we stick with the conservative estimate, you can pocket up to $505,000 if you play with the highest stakes possible.

SlotCatalog verdict

It’s not that often we see games with a circular reel sets, and we therefore salute Yggdrasil for their innovative effort with Avatars Gateway Guardians slot. It might not be everyone's cup of tea, and it might take some getting used to, but this is actually quite a fun game once you get into the swing of it (pun not intended). The Hot Spot feature makes it exciting all the way, but the potential could have been a bit higher to match the very volatile gameplay.

Pros

• Hot spot feature
• Multiplier wheel up to 101x
• Free spins with up to 8 active hot spots
• High volatility

Cons

• 2,525 max win does not quite match the volatility
