Crystalleria Slot Machine
Sometimes you just need to go back to basics and enjoy simple pleasures found in the form of an odd crystal or two. No need for untold riches, just keep us supplied with a limitless supply of gemstones and we’ll be as happy as can be.
If that sounds like it could never happen, hold onto your hats because the renowned brand of 1x2 Gaming has decided to serve you up a dish entirely made from every variety of crystal you could ever dream of. And they’ve (very originally) called it Crystalleria.
This 5-reel, 9-payline slot machine is a simplistic treat for your eyes and wallets, but it still manages to give you all the excitement of a much more in-depth game, something you don’t see happening all that often. There may not be a progressive jackpot, but with the x1,500 one in place you’ll soon forget that fact.
Let’s get started, shall we?
So Pretty!
In its own charming way, this online activity is very pretty, it just does it without the need for excessive decoration, though there is a lot of colour to still be found here. It looks, and to some extent feels, very retro, capturing the brightness of the 80s with the gameplay of the 90s.
All of the tiles are minimal looking jewels in a diverse array of colours, from greeny blues to fiery reds, and all of them are cut into various shapes to add a bit more substance to the whole thing. While only finding three of each will offer little in the way of a decent payout, hit the five mark and you’re in for a home run - the yellow dodecagon will get you 750.00 credits! This slot looks like it’s going to reward you with little and then boom, you have hundreds of euros flooding into your account.
The special symbols are labelled with letters to ensure you can spot them from the others, with the wild marked with a ‘W’ and the scatter carved with a letter ‘F’ (this is because it gives users free spins). If we take a look at the wild first, it removes other symbols but it also doubles any wins you get from a payline, and there isn’t necessarily the need to create a winning combination for this to happen. That’s what we like to hear: rewards without effort.
As for the scatter, well it can occur on your grid at any time and will gift you a select amount of spins decided by the number of icons you find. Therefore, if you find just three of them you will only get 5 free rounds, but if you get all five of them you get a more generous 25 free spins.
Before we move on, it’s worth drawing attention to the fact that these free spins can’t be retriggered during the course of the rounds, and nor will they apply any additional multipliers, they simply spin your reels free of cost.
Getting Started
When it comes down to having a punt, you have a good range of betting amounts to work with which you can make as easy going or as intense as you like. A lot of players will probably want to start off with the minimum amount of 0.05 to make their first go more relaxed, however should you have your sights on the big prize, you’ll want to put the full 22.50 down on those paylines.
There are 9 paylines but you don’t have to play with all of them if you don’t want to, you just need to select the back arrow and the number will reduce down to where you feel comfortable.
Unusual though it is, there is no autospin feature here, meaning you’re going to have to use your mouse for the entirety of the game, a factor we find most annoying. Even if you don’t always use the option when it’s given, it’s nice to have it there just in case.
Crystalleria Clear
Crystalleria is a decent slot and one that we would recommend to all avid fans of casino games, however it isn’t one that will make you filthy rich, so if that’s what you’re into you should keep on looking. There are plenty of other 1x2 Gaming titles that will probably tickle your fancy.
