Secret of the Stones has long been one of the most awaited releases by NetEnt, and after it came out, everyone was eager to give it a go. We can attest that this is a fantastic and entertaining video slot that puts NetEnt at the very top of online gaming, and for a good reason. Secret of the Stones offers a look at the magical and mythic druids, who were a form of ancient priests in Europe. Five reels and 25 fixed paylines, nice visuals, and the exciting bonus feature, make it a thrilling slot.

Graphics & Theme

The backdrop of the Secret of the Stones slot is a terrific blue-grey stone arch that holds the reels and a variety of beautifully designed symbols that are taken straight from the Celtic tradition, such as snakes, druids, owls, sacred trees, wolves, bulls and deer, with marvelous details in each symbol. An eerie soundtrack is playing all the while, providing just the atmosphere.

Gameplay

Bonus symbols include the Druid Wild and the Sacred Tree Scatter. The wild can expand to cover an entire reel, while the Scatter symbol activates the bonus feature.

In order to activate the Free Spins round, players need to land three or more scatters anywhere on the reels to receive an initial 10 free spins and several picks at the Free Spins Bonus Collector, where more scatters on the reels means more picks.

When the Free Spins game is activated, so is the Bonus Collector, where player must choose 3, 4, or 5 from 20 stones watched over by the druid to get their number of free spins up, extra wilds, wild reels, and multipliers. The next round starts with the number of free spins and other special features discovered during the Bonus Collector feature.

Secret of the Stones doesn’t have the most modern graphics, but the game dynamics, especially in the bonus feature, make it a game to try. With several lucky pickings, the bonus game can be quite generous, to say the least.
