There's no shortage of amazing competition in the virtual slot market with countless developers always one-upping their previous work. It's a really exciting time to be involved in the sphere of online gambling. The experts at Real Time Gaming have outdone themselves once again with a sequel to their highly sought-after Enchanted Garden slot.
Similar to the original, Enchanted Garden 2 is targeting fans of fantastical universes and mystical and magical elements. The reels are filled to the brim with favorite characters from the original game. If you've played the first installment, you'll recognize the butterflies, unicorns, the fountain of youth, and - of course - the fairy princess.
But, not everything is the same with Enchanted Garden 2. It features a wide range of updates from theme to gameplay and beyond. Let's take a look at what's new in the enchanted garden.
Theme
We weren't sure what to expect with a sequel to the fantastic Enchanted Garden game. Were we going to see a regurgitation of what made the first game so great or something completely new? We can confidently say we were not disappointed by the new theme of Enchanted Garden 2. It features a litany of new auditory and visual effects that really draw users into the game to make you feel like you're part of this wonderful, enchanted world. There are a plethora of 3D effects that separateEnchanted Garden 2 from the original, making the gameplay feel sharper and more unique. The game still makes use of low-pay playing card symbols. However, they're better decorated this time around and fit into the game's theme more seamlessly.
Since the original has already been shown to be a hit among new and experienced gamblers in the past, we're sure Enchanted Garden 2 will garner the same amount of attention and praise if not more. The game is, at the very least, an improved and updated version of the original. However, the major upgrades in both theme and gameplay by RTG have enough to make Enchanted Garden 2 stand out amongst the crowd on its own as a world-class game.
Gameplay & Features
Enchanted Garden 2 could have easily repeated the same gameplay and features that made its predecessor so successful. But, instead of resting on their laurels, the RTG design team decided to push the envelope further. The result is a simpler yet smoother gaming feel and a more modern appearance overall. The same 5x3 reel layout remains intact, so it'll feel familiar to most players. The pay lines also remain adjustable, although the number has changed from 20 to 25.
The Enchanted Garden 2's two free bonus rounds are where the game really stands out from the original game. You can trigger this feature by obtaining a combination scatter. Instead of needing a collection of the same symbols, this game's scatter trigger occurs when you land a garden symbol somewhere in the first reel and the fairy princess in the last.
When you unlock the firefly feature, you're awarded 7 spins! These gratis spins are a gold mine since each spin is accompanied by a 3x win multiplier. On the other hand, the fairy queen will allot you 10 free spins when you get the fairy princess wild symbols showing up on reels 2, 3, and 4.
Summary
Sequels are always a hit or miss, but Enchanted Garden 2 has exceeded our expectations. RTG didn't just run with the same play that gave them success with the original. They took a chance by designing something completely new and it paid off for them big time.
