Ambiance Slot
This slot by iSoftbet is certainly very different, focusing as much on sound as it does on vision. The reels feature a combination of musical notes and the playing card symbols from 10 to Ace, with each reel emitting a different high pitched note when it comes to a stop, this note dependent on which symbols land on the reel. The slot has a free spins feature which is activated by the scatter symbol, although in a slightly different way to usual.
The slot is set against a blue, almost space-like background, with little bubbles of coloured light floating around, some of these emanating from the treble clef symbol at the bottom of the slot. All of the symbols on the reels are in bright neon colours and the title of the slot gives a rainbow effect in neon again. Between spins there is a very gentle ambient soundtrack playing and this is joined by the sound of the reels – the two sounds merging together nicely. This sound becomes a little more upbeat during the feature. The overall effect is one of relaxation and calm, which is not something that you’d say about many slots.
Setup and Play for Ambiance Slot
Although feeling very different to a standard slot, this is a basic five reel game, this one featuring 20 win lines. This number of lines is set, so you’ll not be able to play fewer. You can however change the coin value, which you’ll multiply by 20 to give you your total stake for the spin.
Wins are achieved by landing three or more consecutive symbols from left to right on a win line, starting with the leftmost reel. The highest paying symbol at the game is the one with three notes played together in green, this paying out 5,000 coins for five in a row. The double note in yellow pays out 2,500 coins, while the demisemiquaver, the semiquaver and the quaver come next at 1,000, 400 and 300 coins respectively for a full house of five. The playing card symbols pay out between 200 and 30 coins for five in a row.
The slot has an auto-spin option which will continue until you either land the feature or you click on the ‘stop auto spin’ button. This option allows you to sit back and enjoy the combinations of sound over and over, the sound of the reels and the background track on repeat making for one of the most interesting sounding slots you’ll find – you could easily leave this playing all day in the background.
The wild in the game is a swirling symbol of colour and will substitute for any other symbol apart from the scatter.
The scatter symbol is the treble clef set against a circular backdrop with musical notes floating around. If this scatter appears anywhere on the reels three or more times you’ll win a prize – 20 times your total stake should you land five. This scatter symbol also activates the free spins round. At the bottom of the slot on the control panel there is a treble clef symbol with a number below, starting at zero. Every time the symbol appears on the slot, this number will rise by one. When the number reaches five or above you’ll be awarded that many free spins.
Ambiance Slot Feature
At first glance you’ll think that the free spins round acts exactly like the standard game, with no multipliers in place. However, on closer inspection, you’ll realise that each spin is met by two guaranteed wilds appearing on the reels – these wilds appearing on the slots framed by glittering light. These two guaranteed wilds will lead to additional wins, making for a more profitable round.
Ambience Slot Conclusion
The Ambience slot is one that you will really enjoy or have no time for at all. If you’re a fan of a slot with a variety of features, fast paced action and in your face graphics, you’ll play this slot for a minute and wonder who would ever play such a game? However, if you are in no rush with a couple of hours to spare and want an experience as opposed to a quick game, this might just be the game for you. Grab a coffee, sit back and enjoy the gentle sound and easy on the eye look as the reels spin and hopefully land those perfect combinations of notes and sounds. If you are looking for originality at a slot, iSoftbet has certainly delivered.
