Magic Of Pandora

Have you ever wondered where the colloquial phrase “to open a can of worms” comes from?

Well, believe it or not, it is related to Ancient Greece and its mythical story of Pandora’s magic box, and this 3-row and 5-reel video slot also opens a metaphorical container...

… so, shall we sneak a peek at what’s inside?

Theme

According to Greek mythology, Pandora was the first human woman, created by gods and she opened the notorious box, releasing evil into the world. 

Inspired by this story, this game is set into typical ancient Greek ambience, pillar-surrounded garden. The symbols are sparkling card-deck hearts, clubs, spades and diamonds, ass well eagles, doves, torches and Pandora herself. The atmosphere is quite calming, so we assume 2by2 Gaming aimed to depict a time before the box opening?

Either way, the dramatic and mythical feel is strong within this one.

• Extra Wild - Wild symbols will come out of the box and land on a random position on the reels converting them into wilds.

• Additional Pay Lines - While the reels are spinning, a spider may come out of the box and start a web of additional green pay lines for that particular spin. 

Mystery Fortune - Each reel contains a stack of mystery positions which are replaced by a game symbol (except wild and scatter) during each reel spin. 

Extra Spin Bonus - 5, 4 or 3 scatter symbols anywhere on the reels award 16, 12 or 8 additional spins. The player is then offered two options to choose from:
