Anaconda Eye Rapids is one of the most intricate titles developed by Oryx Gaming, very accomplished in terms of graphics and endlessly entertaining for its adventure theme. For those of you who didn’t know, the Anaconda Eye is one the most guarded secrets of the Amazonian indigenous tribes, a priceless jewel hidden in one of the shrines deep inside the jungle. As you start the game, you will embark on a search quest, but beware - as you will have to fight off deadly animals as you go deeper and deeper into the rainforest.
A gorgeous view on the Amazon is given as the background for the reels, and the symbols complete the ambience with scenes of our brave explorer facing crocodiles, giant snakes and ferocious tigers. Don’t worry though, with a bit of smarts he will reach the shrine that keeps the treasure and find a way out safe and sound – and rich! Other symbols include playing card icons A, K, Q, J and 10, the Eye Wild, the Bonus Anaconda Cave and the Free Spins Risky Dive symbol. The Wild substitutes all paytable icons, with the exception of the other two special symbols.
If the player manages to hit at least three identical symbols consecutively on an active payline, starting from the leftmost reel, he has won. Controller functionalities include all the standard tools, from the selection of the number of paylines and coin value to the start/stop Autoplay button. There are two special features to enjoy in this slot game, and they are certainly worth depositing funds and playing for real money.
The first rewarding bonus feature is called the Mystery Gates bonus. It’s activated when 3 or more Anaconda Cave bonus symbols appear on an active payline. The player is then taken to a separate screen and presented with 5 gates of which one needs to be selected. A corresponding prize is then paid. The player gets three chances to decide; in other words, the player can decline and forfeit the prize two times, but the third choice is final. One other thing – if the feature is triggered with 4 bonus symbols, all wins are multiplied by 3. In the same vein, all wins are multiplied by 5 if the feature is activated with a combination of 5 Bonus Anaconda Cave symbols.
The other special feature in Anaconda Eye Rapids is the Piranha Frenzy free spins round. Free play starts when 3, 4 or 5 Risky Dive free spins symbols appear anywhere on the screen. The punter is awarded 5 freebies with a 2x multiplier and also presented with 5 piranhas. Two of them hide additional multipliers and three hide additional spins. Depending on the number of the triggering symbols, the player can pick 2, 3 or4 piranhas.
The maximum number of free spins in one Piranha Frenzy free spin round is 29 and the maximum multiplier is x10. With a return to player of 96.08% and two brilliantly executed features, Anaconda Eye Rapids is not so scary after all, is it?
