Easter Island (Yggdrasil Gaming) – Review & Demo Play

Join the Game in Easter Island

Easter Island opens with a neat loop of features that keeps the pace brisk. A Wild icon lands on the 2nd and 4th reels and can expand to fill the reel when it helps a win. Any win triggers the Symbol Swap Re-spin, which retools the grid for a second bite at the cherry. Land a stronger line-up and the reels can stretch for the re-spin, then snap back to the base 5x3 set for the next paid spin.

Theme, Soundtrack and Symbols in Easter Island

This Polynesian-themed slot nods to the island’s giant Moai and a sun-soaked coastline. The vibe suits a festive summer slot, with 3D imagery, animations and premium background art helping the reels feel lively. The audio sits right with the setting, while the tribalistic-styled symbols carry the action on the grid without fuss. It looks clean on both desktop and mobile, and the presentation holds up over longer sessions.

High-paying icons are an Eagle paying up to 500x line bet, a Fox up to 100x, a Sea Turtle up to 80x, a Lizard up to 60x and a Fish up to 40x. Low-paying suits are hearts, diamonds, clubs and spades, all valued equally up to 20x line stake for five of a kind. The single special symbol is the Wild, which has no value of its own and substitutes for any regular symbol to complete wins.

Game Mechanics in Easter Island

You play Easter Island over 5 reels and 3 rows in the base game with 27 paylines. Bets range from €0.10 up to €200 per spin, and there is an Autoplay option for set batches of spins. After a winning spin, the re-spin can expand the rows up to 5 or 7 high, taking the grid to 65 or 103 paylines for that one extra spin. When the re-spin ends, the game returns to the 5x3 layout.

The top payout is 1,880x the total stake, and it usually comes when the re-spin aligns upgraded symbols across the expanded rows. The scaling layout keeps the base game engaging, as three of a kind leaves the grid at 3 rows, four adds two extra rows to make 5x5 with 65 paylines, and five of a kind pushes it to 5x7 with 103 paylines. It is a tidy system that rewards stronger triggers.

Special Features in Easter Island

The Symbol Swap Re-spin triggers after every win. If the win is with low-paying suits, one Moai swallows all suit symbols on the reels and replaces them with the winning one for the re-spin. If the win uses high-paying icons, the game replaces all high-paying symbols with the winning high payer for the re-spin. It is a simple, satisfying upgrade that can turn a small hit into a tidy follow-up.

Expanding reels depend on the length of the triggering combo. Three of a kind keeps 3 rows and 27 paylines. Four of a kind grows to 5x5 with 65 paylines. Five of a kind reaches 5x7 with 103 paylines. The re-spin plays out, then the grid re-adjusts back to 5x3, ready for the next paid spin. The step-up path is clear and rewards cleaner lines across the base hit.

Expanding Wilds add extra spice. When a Wild lands, it can expand to cover its reel and improve connection chances. If that expanded Wild lands in a base spin and helps a win, it stays sticky for the re-spin. I like how a single sticky Wild on an expanded grid can carry multiple lines when the Symbol Swap is in play. It is a compact set of features that dovetail well.

Play Well, Win Big in Easter Island

This is a low variance slot with an RTP around 96.1 percent, so I treat it as a low-risk game where frequent small wins tick over the balance. Stakes start at 10p and go up to €200 per spin, and the top prize caps at 1,880x your stake. The hit rate feels lively in the base game, with the re-spins doing the heavy lifting when upgraded symbols and expanded rows line up.

Play ‘On The Go’ with Easter Island

Built in HTML5, Easter Island runs cleanly in a browser on desktop, Android and Apple devices. The same images, sounds and features carry across, with only the control layout adjusted for better touch play optimisation. I have switched between phone and laptop without losing any of the flow, and the grid changes during re-spins look crisp on smaller screens.

Game Verdict for Easter Island

Easter Island is my go-to when I want to play a low-risk game that still has bite. It is pretty to look at, the 3D flourishes do not get in the way, and the Symbol Swap Re-spin gives steady second chances. Do not expect earth-shattering wins every session, but the expanded rows and sticky Wilds can land tidy totals when the upgrades fall right.

I run longer sessions at modest stakes, aiming to catch a four or five of a kind trigger into the re-spin. The 27 to 103 payline swing keeps things engaging, and the theme gives off a summer vibe that wears well. For frequent small wins and the occasional push towards 1,880x, it hits the brief.
