Far off the coast of Chile stands Easter Island, one of the world’s most remote inhabited places. Looming large in the popular imagination thanks to its nearly 900 moai, or large stone statues, this fascinating locale provides the theme (and the title) for this new slot from Yggdrasil. Expanding reels, expanding and sticky wilds, and automatic re-spins make sure there’s a never a dull moment in this game.
Theme
Easter Island was settled and developed by Polynesians, so it’s no surprise that this game feels like Disney’s Moana at times. Two massive, talking moai stand to either side of the reels, acting as greeters, cheerleaders, spectators, guides, and helpers as players seek the riches of the island: they even dance to celebrate wins. The reels themselves are set upon a grassy field atop a set of cliffs, with flowers growing below and blue skies above. Gaming symbols include five animal totems, each in its own unique color, a blue wild symbol, and the four playing card suit values. The game soundtrack has a strong island feel, with steel drums (generally associated more with Caribbean culture than with Polynesia) and ukuleles providing a playful, mellow play environment.
Betting Options and Functions
The Polynesian builders of the moai and sophisticated infrastructure once present on the island had a keen eye for detail, and it’s clear that the Yggdrasil design team has taken that approach to heart in this slot. There are 27 fixed paylines in base play, all paying from left to right, with coin value adjustable from 0.004–8.00. This yields an unusually broad per-spin bet range of 0.10–200.00 times the betting currency. Autoplay is available for up to 1000 spins, or without limit. Player options, payline information, game rules, and more are available via an expanding menu at the lower left corner of the game screen. The overall theoretical return to player ratio is solid at 96.1%.
Features
Where other titles offer scatter symbols, free spins, and bonus games, Easter Island focuses instead on its series of expanding reels, expanding sticky wilds, and re-spins. This series of automatically-triggered bonuses keeps play lively, as anything can happen on any spin.
All wins trigger an automatic respin, with a fun bonus feature built in. If the win is triggered by one of the lower-paying symbols, the respin will occur with the winning symbol taking the place of all lower-paying symbols. Similarly, a win with a higher-paying symbol will trigger a resin with that higher-paying taking the place of all the higher-paying symbols on the reels. This increases the likelihood of big wins. Additionally, any wild symbol involved with the first win will expand to fill its entire reel, then stay in place throughout the respin.
When the initial win is of four- or five-of-a-kind, things get even better for players.
On a four-of-a-kind win, the respin occurs on an expanded set of reels, five-row-tall instead of three, with 65 pay lines instead of 27. For a five-of-a-kind win, the respin occurs on a massive, seven-row-tall set of reels, with a whopping 103 paylines.
Our Take
Though it may not stand as long as the great moai, Yggdrasil’s Easter Island is sure to be a big hit. The charming theme, smart design, and constantly shifting shape of the reels are irresistable.

I find the sounds really annoying in this game, with the statues making noises everytime you're about to hit a third symbol for a win on the reels. Doesn't seem to have any good win potential either. Fun-looking, and the idea is kind of innovative with the reels expanding with different types of wins. But I still don't...

Wow, Easter Island slot is extremely surprising because it is very different from other Yggdrasil slots. I think that this game is developed by other studio for Yggdrasil, hahaha. This game can be very very good for wagering purpose. Winning 3 symbol in payline come quite often, giving one re-spin even with higher winning chance. Winning 4 symbols in payline doesn't come easily, like every 30~50 spins as I guess. And it has also very good chance for even higher winning. Wow, I should try this new game with real money soon. A few of new Yggdrasil and NetEnt slots are very good. Good luck.

The concept of this game is good but they forgot to add the free spins feature. Sure, re-spin is a good feature but without free spins feature a game is less interesting but there are some exceptions and Easter Island is unfortunately not one of them. Yggdrasil did not hit the bull's eye with this game.

Easter island is a game that even on day of release didn't look that great. The idea was original but the way the game behave with the statue yelling left and right non-stop can really get on my nerves and i never saw this slot pay anything decent. Try it if you want but if you have other favorite games you want to play,...

Try it if you want but if you have other favorite games you want to play, play them first and come back later for this one.

Easter Island is a brand new slot by Yggdrasil it's 27 paylines but can increase up to 108 pay lines with the rising reel re-spin. Easter Island is fun but also very funny too! (You'll see what I mean when you play it). Reels feature Tiki animal masks and card symbols Heart, spade, diamond club etc. The reels also feature wild reels on reels 2 and 4. The main point of the slot is to achieve 5 of a kind hits but you can trigger a re-spin with 3 of a kind of any symbol. Once this happens the smiley stones on left and right suck in certain symbols. For example if you get 3 of a kind foxes all other "premium symbols" are removed for the re-spin more foxes are then spat onto the reels and the reels will only consist of foxes, card symbols and wild reels! This of course can make for massive wins. All symbols are stacked too except wild but they can expand in a winning combination. Now as I said above you can get reel expansions. For 4 of a kind symbols the above will happen but this time the reels also expand up to 60 something lines and if a wild hits this also expands fully! The dream combination on this though is 5 of a kind premium with wild reel 2 and 4 present. This can give you 108 win lines and a full screen of that premium as they are stacked. Top symbol pays 500 coins for 5 of a kind so even on a 0.25 spin. This is over 540.00 win possible! And bear in mind the triggering spin can also be 27x500! Giving a potential jackpot of £675! It's a really great game I've played it across a few casinos now already. Fantastic Yggdrasil! 4/5 from me bigdk1888
