About this Slot
The Shimmering Woods is a nature and fantasy-themed slot from Play'n Go with an RTP of 96.2%, medium volatility and a maximum win of 25,000x.
The shimmering crystal symbol acts as both wild and scatter. Three or more crystal symbols trigger free spins, during which a cascade feature removes winning symbols and allows new symbols to fall into place, potentially forming additional wins in chain reactions.
A splitting symbols feature activates randomly in the base game, doubling win ways by expanding them up to 7,776. This feature is especially active during free spins rounds, where it combines with the cascade mechanic to create extended sequences of wins.
Free spins rounds include an increasing multiplier that grows with each cascade. Landing additional crystal symbols during free spins retriggers the round and upgrades another symbol to a splitting symbol.
A crystal charge meter fills with each cascade during play. When the meter reaches full, it triggers either symbol upgrades or instant wins.
