Aurora (Relax Gaming) – Review & Demo Play

Aurora – Our Slot Review

Aurora is a slot developed by the studio Relax Gaming. Released on 2020-03-12, it runs on a 5-reel, 30-line setup with stakes from 0.30 to 42 credits per spin. It comes with Average volatility and a 96.08% RTP, with headline wins of up to x736 of your bet. The maths feels steady rather than savage, and the set-up suits mobile as well as desktop. What holds the experience together is a clean, fantasy theme and features that actually move the reels about.

Aurora Symbols and Paytable

The Wild appears in the table twice and pays like a top icon, with 5 of a kind worth x5, 4 paying x1, and 3 paying x0.5. Other high symbols reach x5 for five, then slip to x1 and x0.5 for four and three of a kind. Mid-tier hits sit at x2.5 for five, x0.7 for four, and x0.3 for three, while the next set posts x1.5, x0.6, and x0.33.

Lower value lines in Aurora cluster around x1.23, x1, x0.63, x0.5, x0.36, and x0.23 for five of a kind, scaling down through x0.5 to x0.13 for fours and x0.23 to x0.06 for threes. The spread keeps base game returns frequent enough to bridge the waits between features. Wilds substitute to complete wins, and stacked placements tie into the bonus, so the paytable works hand in hand with the core feature set.

Free Spins and Stacked Wilds in Aurora

Aurora comes with Stacked Wild symbols and here you need to land just 3 of these icons or a full troll to trigger an exciting free spins bonus round. The set-up sticks to the fantasy brief and lines up the stacks often enough to tease the round. I’ve had base game spells where stacks nudge decent x values, but the swing sits inside the free spins, where the troll mechanic takes over.

During this round the troll reel will either move to the right or left of the middle reel or split in 2. If split, 1 troll moves to the left and the second to the right. When the reels stop, 1 more troll may spawn moving towards the edge of the reels until it exits the reels. You get that creeping sense of space opening across the grid as the reel drifts or duplicates.

On my sessions the best returns came when a split held centre and both trolls stepped out in opposite directions for multiple spins. It doesn’t spike into absurd totals, but it can stitch together several mid-range lines in quick order. The feature lands often enough for an Average volatility slot, and the pacing matches the x736 top line, so it reads as measured rather than reckless over a session or two.

RTP, Volatility and Max Win in Aurora

Aurora posts a 96.08% RTP and Average volatility, with a max win of x736. In practice that means a steady hit rate on the 30 betways, with outliers rare and most wins stacked around the small to mid bracket. The stake range of 0.30–42 gives plenty of room to size bets. It’s not a jackpot chaser; it’s a balanced set-up that keeps you in the round hunt without hammering the balance.

Review Summary for Aurora

Aurora stands as a fantasy-themed release with stacked wilds doing the heavy lifting and a free spins round that actually changes how the reels behave. The 5x3, 30-line base keeps things tidy, the RTP sits at 96.08%, and the maths leans fair. It feels built for players who enjoy feature cadence and visible mechanics rather than pure high-roll risk. Set-up and pacing echo mid-range sessions, with enough movement in the stacks to keep the screen alive between bonuses.

I’ve put in enough spins to say the troll reel gimmick has legs. When it splits or spawns, the grid opens up and lines pop, and when it drifts cleanly you still get tidy runs. If you want a measured slot with a proper free spins identity and numbers that line up with a medium profile, Aurora ticks those boxes. The bet range fits casual play, while the x736 cap sets fair expectations.
