Located within a vast network of towering temples and lush greenery, lies the majestic temple complex known as Shambala. This mystical realm is steeped in ancient wisdom and holds secrets that have captivated humans for centuries. Inspired by this enigmatic setting, developers at Microgaming created an immersive online slot experience – "Shambala Casino" – which invites players to uncover its hidden treasures.
Theme and Design
As Play Shambala in Australia the title suggests, Shambala is set amidst a dense jungle atmosphere teeming with exotic wildlife and lush foliage. The game’s visuals perfectly replicate this ambiance through vibrant colors, intricately detailed graphics, and realistic sound effects. Every aspect of the slot has been meticulously crafted to transport players into an otherworldly realm where ancient rituals hold sway.
The reel layout is framed by imposing stone structures adorned with ornate carvings that exude mystique. The background features undulating hills and towering trees swaying in gentle breezes, immersing you further in this jungle fantasy world.
Symbols
Shambala’s symbol collection reflects its mystical origins. These icons range from ancient totems, enchanted flora, mythical creatures like the dragonfly-encrusted yak and snow leopard – which embody good fortune according to local lore. Players can also find standard playing card values, each uniquely tailored with intricate patterns reminiscent of temple carvings.
Among these symbols are some higher-paying ones such as the Lion’s mane, the Green Dragon (multiplier symbol) or the wise old owl. Symbols will pay up when lining up in consecutive order on adjacent reels from left to right starting with reel one.
Payouts
Each symbol comes with its respective payout table which is accessible via a dedicated ‘Paytable’ icon displayed above the game settings. The payouts range significantly from 1x to an astonishingly high of 1000x per bet when five of these symbols align on enabled paylines, respectively for Lion and Green Dragon.
Wilds
There isn’t a traditional wild symbol but two types of unique ‘Multiplier Symbols’ can substitute regular wins providing additional payout potential in line with the specified multiplier which will multiply each winning combination accordingly based upon your active stake.
Scatters
On any spin anywhere on reels 1,3 and/or 5 an intricately designed Green Dragon Scatter symbol appears offering numerous exciting opportunities for winnings via various free spins and re-spins modes. Three scattered Greens trigger the Shambala Free Spins round which can multiply wins by as much as five times – with a potential to increase that significantly through further special features triggered during gameplay.
Bonus Features
One of several additional game modes accessible after initial qualification conditions meet certain requirements is ‘Ride The Tiger’ slot where multiple free spin games with increased betting values add considerable payout increases resulting from re-spins initiated at every qualifying win combination by landing four green dragon scatter symbols on reel two.
