Solar Temple

Solar Temple slot opens up with a rather traditional look, but as soon you get the reels rolling, you’re in for a whole new experience.

The game has done wonders with cyclical gameplay…

…which means that you’re not just wishing on BIG wins on individual spins.

Well, you are, but there is also a special feature that makes it worth your while to spin a few more times.

The game comes with high volatility, a bit below average RTP, impressive graphics and all the amenities of modern on-the-go titles.

The theme lays a lot of bright colours on the reels, and spices up things with a few animations as well.

Theme

Solar Temple has you travel back in time to somewhere in Latin America. Clearly, inspiration has been drawn from the native civilizations and flourished in the area.

The symbols remind you of this with every spin, as does the music and other audio effects.

The graphics are excellent, and the colour scheme brings the jungle and the bright light of the sun on the screen.

Playson clearly knows what it’s doing in this regard.

Betting Options and Functions

The basic game offers 20 paylines on a normal 5-reel setup. The variance in this slot is set somewhere between medium and high…

…with wins landing quite rarely, except when the special feature comes into play.

The abundance of wilds makes the basic payouts rather low, topping out at 200x your line bet.

The interface is superb for mobile and desktop device alike and gives you plenty of options to choose from. You can easily check paytables, mute the game or even activate automatic spins. The general bet level, like always, ranges from low to high.

Features

Onto the features! There are really only two features here:

• Bonus Spins

These are rather normal extra rounds, free of charge. Simply land one scatter on reels one, three and five, and these three will trigger the feature. You will get ten spins. During the feature…

…sun symbols will immediately transform into wilds, which stay on the reels until the end of the bonus.

• The Sun Cycle

Now this is the thing you’ve been waiting for! Officially, it’s called the Flaming Frames Feature, but the sun cycle makes more sense to me.

Each spin is part of a ten-spin cycle, during which you want to land as many sun symbols as possible.Each of these symbols creates a flaming frame when it lands, which stays on for the whole ten spins.

If another wild lands in the frame, your winning multiplier is increased by one. On the last spin, all the framed positions transform into wilds, creating countless winning combinations.

Our Take

Playson has done a superb job with this game. We’d like to see a slightly higher RTP, but otherwise...

…the game is simply great, and all because of the simple addition that is the Flaming Frames. I expect we’ll see a lot of similar feature in the future.
