Spring is an excellent time to enjoy all the benefits of lovely weather – there’s nothing like the smell of fragrant spring flowers, a bite of the first juicy strawberry, or blood-red cherries picked right from the tree. Birds singing, long careless walks by the lakes, all the greens, blues, reds and yellows of leafy forests, skies, rivers and field flowers – all this is priceless for all of us who appreciate spring as our favorite season. Well, in anticipation of those warm spring days, NetEntertainment has decided to treat us with a fun new slot – “Flowers” whose lively coloring will remind you why you like this season so much.

The graphics of this 5-reel, 30 payline slot is lovely and adorable, although some may wonder why NetEnt designers chose certain solutions. Namely, the reels are full of colorful flowers such as roses, sunflowers, tulips and many others, and each of them has its own character – and this is where the confusion may emerge. Most people would expect to see a flower such as rose at its best – blooming, wonderful, seductive, but here it just looks grumpy. The same goes for bluebells – they are supposed to be tender and fragile, and here they are simply goofy. Still, this new interpretation of flowers’ characters is at the same time funny, and it definitely attracts attention.

Now, apart from the flowers, players can also find special symbols in “Flowers”, including wild and scatter, which triggers free spins with a multiplier, as well as a special double symbol. But to get to any of those features, players need to set their bet amounts first. This is done by selecting a coin denomination (from $0.01 to $0.50) and the number of coins to be placed per line (up to five of them). If this is not enough choice, one can also set the number of lines to play on, but it’s highly recommendable to play on a maximum number of lines, because that will increase the winning odds.

Special Features:

“Flowers” is a simple slot, so it has rather straightforward special features. This is excellent for those who are beginners in the world of slots, but it can also serve well for an escapade from all those hi-tech, flashy, cinematic games.

As for the special symbols, there are two standard ones – wild symbol in form of a smiling Sun, which replaces all other regular symbols, and scatter symbol, which can appear as a single or a double symbol. The scattered clouds trigger free spins when 4+ scatters (this includes the double ones) appear anywhere on the reels. During the free spins, all prizes are tripled, and players can also find extra wilds which appear stacked on the reels, allowing bigger wins.

In terms of the double symbols, which are a new feature, they appear regularly, just like normal, single symbols, but they count as two. This means that, for example, three single roses and one double make a five roses payout of 160 coins.

In all sincerity, even though “Flowers” may seem much simpler than other NetEnt slots, many will find it attractive thanks to its adorable characters, occasionally generous features, and the impression it leaves, that spring is already in its bloom…
