Symbols and game grid

Playing with this machine, the player therefore will be catapulted before this mysterious Northern Temple that is apparently protected by mythical creatures. The game grid consists of 5 reels and offers up to 7,776 ways to win. It will start playing with a reduced 5×3 type pattern but with consecutive wins this will raise its rows, up to a maximum of 3 more. 10 game symbols depicting 5 mythological figures and the A, K, Q, J and 10 low-pay symbols will run on the game reels. The most generous symbol depicts the bull with a red background and in the number of 3, 4 and 5 in a combo pays 0.5, 2 and 10 times the bet. Playing card symbols go as far as returning 0.6x for 5 of them in a combo. The player’s goal is then to be able to line up multiple matching symbols on consecutive reels, from left to right. In this case, 3 to 5 identical aligned symbols will be needed.

It will be played with drops, so with each combo that is achieved the winning symbols will explode and more will arrive on the spots left empty, in a process that could give consecutive wins and will make the game grid expand. With each win, a row of symbols will be added to match the winning ones. Prizes will then be paid out taking into account the bet made and the individual symbol values as shown in the paytable. The latter can be viewed by clicking on the menu button and from there the button with the letter “i” at the top left. The graphical interface of this machine from Evoplay is quite intuitive and places the buttons useful for setting the various modes with which you intend to play, below the game grid. For quicker and more convenient play, we recommend using the autoplay button, next to the spin, for programming a playback of consecutive spins, from 10 to 100. In Northern Temple you will also play with its special symbols, namely the wild and the scatter, whose workings we will see in the next section.

Game functionality of Northern Temple: wild, scatter and Coin symbols

Northern Temple’s wild will land on all reels except the first and will function as usual as a substitute for all regular symbols. The scatter, on the other hand, will land on the middle 3 reels both in the base game and during the free spins, to give precisely access to the free spins. Coin symbols land on any reel both during the main game and during free spins. When they appear during drops, they will remain on the reels until there are no more wins. When you get at least 3 in sight after all drops have ended, each such symbol will reveal a bet multiplier, which will be added together and applied to the player’s bet.

Of the drop system we have already mentioned, but it is good to know that at the top appears a multiplier that starts at x1 and increases by +1 with each symbol drop and with no maximum limit. This multiplier will apply to all winnings. However, at the beginning of each spin in the main game, the win multiplier will be reset to x1, while in free spins it will always increase! Obtaining 3 scatters will give 15 free spins that will be played with the wild, coin symbols and also scatters, which with 3 more on the reels will reactivate the free spins extending the game by another 15. Remember that during the free spins the multiplier does not return to x1 on the first drop without a win, so it will only increase!

Final verdict and RTP

After trying it out for quite a while, we are of the opinion that this little machine from Evoplay deserves a spin of the reels as it proved to be quite easy to play. Its game mechanics do not introduce anything new and that we do not already know. All we have to say about Northern Temple is its biggest payout and RTP. The biggest prize will be able to cover an amount of 6,000 times the bet per spin, keeping in mind that the volatility of this machine is in the low range. On the other hand, the percentage of return to the player is given slightly above average, being only 96.06%, and this is a value that is typical of this provider’s online games.
