Ivy review

Theme and Storyline

Ivy is themed around menacing plants and a mysterious woman who brings to mind Poison Ivy from the Batman franchise.

Players will enter an intoxicating garden filled with vines that seem to have a mind of their own. Among the foliage, they will also encounter a seductive red-haired woman with devious intentions.

This slot may particularly appeal to fans of the Batman comics and films.

Graphics, Sounds and Animations

The soundtrack of Ivy has a mysterious vibe, creating playful tension that feels right on theme. Wins are emphasized with digital chimes and the clatter of coins that add a decent amount of excitement.

The reels are situated in a stone garden wall with thick, thorny vines above them. A toothy Venus flytrap sways constantly with the vines, suggesting it might be moving of its own volition.

Below the reels, players will see an array of bones and candles that allude to an occult ceremony. In the foreground, large green leaves gently sway, adding an intimate feel to the gameplay area.

Symbols include brightly hued flowers under bell jars, and letters and numbers crafted from vines. The most compelling symbol is the femme fatale redhead wearing green. She seems to be Poison Ivy herself.

Overall, the soundtrack and animations of Ivy create a tantalizing and dangerous world of botanical delights.

Gameplay

Ivy is a five-reel, three-row slot with 25 win lines.

The Ante Bet feature allows players to add a bet multiplier to their wager.

If players wish, they can buy directly into the Bonus feature for 60x their current bet. The Super Bonus can be purchased for 140x their total bet.

Wilds, Bonuses and Free Spins

The Wild symbol substitutes for all symbols except the Scatter and the Super Scatter symbol. The Wild symbol takes different forms, but the payouts offered are the same for each representation.

Scatter symbols land on reels 1-4, while Super Scatter symbols land on reel 5.

The Wicked Spin symbol can appear on reel 5 during non-winning spins. It then reveals an Instant Win Multiplier between 20x and 200x.

Creeping Wilds can appear on any reel during any spin with an arrow pointing up, down, right, or left. Any symbols in the direction of the arrow are covered with the Creeping Wild. Like Wild symbols, Creeping Wilds substitute for all symbols except Scatters and Super Scatters.

The Ivy Feature is triggered when 3 or more Scatters land. If 3 Scatters trigger the feature, then 10 free spins are awarded, and if 4 Scatters trigger the feature, 20 free spins are awarded. The feature can be retriggered as follows:

• 2 Scatters = 2 additional free spins
• 3 Scatters = 10 additional free spins
• 4 Scatters = 20 additional free spins
• 2 Scatters + Super Scatter = 2 free spins + 2x multiplier
• 3 Scatters + Super Scatter = 10 free spins + 10x multiplier
• 4 Scatters + Super Scatter = 20 free spins + 4x multiplier

The Ivy Super Feature is triggered by landing at least 3 Scatters with a Super Scatter. The number of free spins and the multiplier awarded are determined as follows:

• 3 Scatters + Super Scatter = 10 free spins + 3x multiplier
• 4 Scatters + Super Scatter = 20 free spins + 4x multiplier

All winnings during the Ivy Super feature are multiplied by the awarded multiplier.

If players land 2 Scatters, 2 additional free spins are awarded, 3 Scatters award 10 free spins, and 4 Scatters award 20 free spins.

Landing 3 Scatters with a Super Scatter awards 10 additional free spins plus a multiplier of 3x, if the current multiplier is less than 3x. Landing 4 Scatters with a Super Scatter awards 20 free spins with a multiplier of 4x, if the current multiplier is less than 4x.
