Play Secret of the Stones in New Zealand

Secret of the Stones builds its online pokies action around a bonus round whose modifiers are selected before the reels start turning. Secret of the Stones is a NetEnt release from 23 October 2013, using 5 reels, 3 rows and 25 fixed paylines within a Celtic stone-circle setting. Secret of the Stones can attach extra spins, multipliers, Wild Reels and additional Wild symbols to its Free Spins feature.

Secret of the Stones Game Overview

Secret of the Stones runs every paid spin across all 25 fixed lines rather than allowing the number of active paylines to be changed. Secret of the Stones reads standard line combinations from the first reel towards the right and adds wins from different lines together. Secret of the Stones handles Scatter awards separately from the ordinary payline requirement.

Secret of the Stones makes the pre-bonus selection the central decision point in its feature design. Secret of the Stones presents 20 covered stones and gives as many picks as the number of Scatters that opened the round. Secret of the Stones does not let the player identify a hidden modifier in advance or force a preferred Free Spins setup.

Secret of the Stones is not recorded as a progressive jackpot game on Wildz.

How Does Secret of the Stones Work?

Secret of the Stones deducts the chosen stake, generates one reel result and compares it with the paytable across 25 fixed paylines. Secret of the Stones counts a standard line win when the required matching symbols form consecutively from the leftmost reel. Secret of the Stones pays only the best result on an individual line while combining qualifying wins from separate lines.

Secret of the Stones uses Wilds to stand in for ordinary paying symbols and Scatters to start Free Spins. Secret of the Stones activates 10 Free Spins when at least three Scatters appear anywhere during the base game. Secret of the Stones keeps each round random, so neither a previous loss nor a previous feature changes what must happen next.

Secret of the Stones Wild Substitutions

Secret of the Stones can place a Wild on any of its five reels during both base play and Free Spins. Secret of the Stones uses that symbol as a substitute for standard paytable symbols but never for the Scatter. Secret of the Stones selects the highest-paying valid line combination created by the substitution.

Secret of the Stones Wilds are useful only when the surrounding reel positions also meet a payline condition. Secret of the Stones can show a Wild without producing a payout if no qualifying line is completed. Secret of the Stones does not make Wild positions more predictable when a player raises the stake or changes the speed of play.

Secret of the Stones Stone Selection

Secret of the Stones displays 20 stones after the Scatter trigger and before the first bonus spin. Secret of the Stones supplies 3, 4 or 5 selections, exactly matching whether 3, 4 or 5 Scatters activated the feature. Secret of the Stones keeps all uncovered modifiers active until that Free Spins round finishes.

Secret of the Stones Classic selections can reveal additional spins, added multipliers, Wild Reels and extra Wild symbols. Secret of the Stones can make reels 2 and/or 4 entirely Wild or turn the Deer and/or Owl into Wild symbols for the feature. Secret of the Stones stone choices cannot guarantee the strongest combination of modifiers because their contents are concealed before selection.

Secret of the Stones Free Spins

Secret of the Stones begins with 10 Free Spins after the main-game Scatter condition is met. Secret of the Stones can add 2, 3, 4, 5 or 10 spins through the stones selected before the round. Secret of the Stones can also add x1 or x2 to the initial x1 Free Spins multiplier in the Classic setup.

Secret of the Stones retains the triggering spin’s paylines, bet level and coin value throughout the feature. Secret of the Stones does not allow Scatter symbols to retrigger more spins once the bonus is underway, as any extra spins were established by the initial picks. Secret of the Stones modifier package can influence the round’s possibilities but cannot guarantee a win or positive return.

Secret of the Stones Volatility

Secret of the Stones receives a high-volatility score of 8/10 from Wildz. Secret of the Stones can therefore deliver returns in an irregular pattern, with lower-paying periods occurring between Free Spins or stronger line wins. Secret of the Stones stakes should be selected with that uneven distribution in mind.

Secret of the Stones volatility is a risk-distribution measure. Secret of the Stones high rating cannot establish that a large payout is approaching after a quiet sequence. Secret of the Stones remains random whether the reels are started manually or through an available automatic control.

Secret of the Stones Maximum Win

Secret of the Stones has no verified x-stake maximum in the Wildz catalogue or gameservice data used for this page. Secret of the Stones calculates awards from the active paytable and can apply selected multipliers and Wild modifiers during Free Spins. Secret of the Stones has jackpot type “none”, which means no shared progressive pool sits above the reel prizes.

Secret of the Stones displays the applicable symbol values and any operator limit inside its game information. Secret of the Stones players should use that current panel rather than an unsourced maximum quoted for another configuration. Secret of the Stones bonus modifiers can raise a qualifying line award but do not make a top result certain.

Secret of the Stones free mode gives a practical view of the interface but does not provide a forecast for real-money outcomes.
