Your Own Island (Yggdrasil Gaming) – Review & Demo Play

Your Own Island Slot Overview

When I fancy a laid-back spin, I jump into Your Own Island. The set-up is a 5x3 grid with 20 paylines paying left to right, and it carries a highly volatile model that can bite yet tempt. The default RTP is 96 percent, though some sites offer 94 or 90.5 percent. Stakes run from 0.2 to 70. The base game keeps it simple with wilds and stacked wilds dropping in, letting the sunny beach backdrop do a lot of the heavy lifting.

Hit frequency sits around 28 percent, so I get regular nibbles while waiting for features to bite. The ceiling is 6,000x the bet, helped by a Special Prize sitting in the respins mode. It is not a bells-and-whistles affair, and that suits the theme. Palm trees sway, the water looks inviting, and the soundscape sells the holiday mood. When I want pace, I chase bonuses. When I want a breather, I let the line hits and wild stacks do their thing.

Your Own Island Slot Information

In the paytable, the lower-paying set is all about fruit. Peach, coconut, passion fruit, kiwi, dragon fruit, and star fruit line up for 1x to 2x the bet on five of a kind. Wins land left to right across the 20 lines, starting from reel one. The layout stays clean on mobile, tablet, and desktop, so tracking wins is easy. I like how the reels pop with colour without getting busy, which makes long sessions feel light.

High-payers shift the tone to beachside antics. A snorkeller, a hiker, a sunbather, and a splashy crowd deliver 3x to 5x for a full line. It is a straightforward spread, and that helps set expectations when features are quiet. The mix of modest line pays and feature-led spikes fits the high volatility tag. When those picture symbols stack with wilds, I have seen tidy screens build, even without a bonus in sight.

Wild Symbol in Your Own Island

The wild symbol is the bloke in shades with a drink, and it substitutes for everything except the Scatter and Free Spins symbols. Wilds show up on all reels in both the base game and Free Spins, and in the main game they can land stacked. A straight line of five wilds pays 10x, which plugs a nice gap between the top picture symbols and feature hits. I lean on wilds to keep balance ticking over while hunting the big rounds.

Scatter Symbols in Your Own Island

There are two cash Scatters and a separate Free Spins symbol. Sea Breeze Scatters land in the base game and Free Spins, while Sunset Twist Scatters show only in Free Spins and also act as wilds. Both cash Scatters carry values from 1x to 500x that tally during the Hold and Win. Neither of these pays on its own. The boat symbol on reels one, three, and five is the Free Spins trigger, and it does not carry a value.

Hold & Win Feature in Your Own Island

This is the heartbeat feature for me. It triggers with at least six Sea Breeze Scatters in the base game, or a total of six Sea Breeze and Sunset Twist Scatters during Free Spins. You get three respins, and every triggering Scatter locks in place. Any new Scatter that lands resets the counter back to three, while blanks hold no value. In the base game, Free Spins and Hold and Win cannot fire together, so you are funnelled into one mode.

Each Sea Breeze or Sunset Twist that sticks comes with a printed prize between 1x and 500x the bet. Totals are paid when the respins end. Fill every position on the 5x3 grid and you land the 5,000x Special Prize on top. That map gives a clear path to the top-end outcomes without messy extras. I like the straight maths here, as it keeps focus on counting spaces, eyeing resets, and spotting ladders to bigger totals.

It is a basic money symbol round, and that suits quick-fire sessions. The tension comes from the reset mechanic rather than layered extras, so it rarely spikes my pulse until the board is nearly full. In Free Spins, those stacked Sunset Twist Scatters help feed this mode, which adds a neat nudge without clutter. When the screen starts to crowd, I’ve had tidy totals rack up fast, and the Special Prize sits there as a clean, hefty target.

Free Spins Feature in Your Own Island

Land three boat symbols on reels one, three, and five to trigger ten Free Spins. Each spin turns a random reel into a wild reel, and that reel carries a stack of Sunset Twist Scatters acting as wilds. This stack is the bridge into Hold and Win, so the two features play off each other well. You cannot retrigger. The scene shifts as day gives way to dusk, but the bet stays the same as the trigger. I like the tempo lift here.

Feature Buy in Your Own Island

If I don’t fancy waiting, I use the buy menu. Hold and Win costs 49x the bet, and ten Free Spins cost 52x. Both buys drop you straight into the action and keep the maths identical to a natural trigger. The pricing sits on the fair side for this style of game, so I’ll dip in when balance and mood line up. It is handy when the base game goes dry or when I’m time-boxing a session.

One note from me on value. This slot ships with variable RTP, so I always check the help panel and aim for 96 percent rather than 90.5 percent. The volatility is high, which makes buy timing matter if you are guarding a bankroll. I have had both quick returns and slow grinds from buys here. When the grid co-operates, the numbers add up fast, but buys can whiff, so I pace them and let line wins top the tank first.
