Highland Reels Slot

Highland Reels was released on 16th March 2021 by the world-famous software developers, Eyecon. They are behind some of the world’s most popular online video slots, including titles like Shaman’s Dream 2, Beat the Bobbies at the Tower of London, and Fluffy Favourites. This slot transports you to the world of the highland games, where burley Scotsmen hurl huge logs and lift gigantic boulders to prove their strength. Amongst the flying heavy objects is your chance to score some huge cash prizes.

Highland Reels is played on a 5×3 set of reels with 25 ways to win. The maximum jackpot in the game is a whopping 3000x your stake. For your chance to win it, you will need to wager a stake that can be between £0.25 per spin up to a maximum of £12.50 per spin. The relatively low stakes make this a perfect beginner slot game and great for those just looking to have a bit of fun. The bonus features include two highland games, the Hammer Throw and the Caber Toss, which provides players with cash prizes, multipliers and free spins.

Graphics and Theme

Eyecon has done a great job and bringing Scottish stereotypes to life with the design of the game. Two kilt-wearing men stand on either side of the reels. The man to the left grips a huge stone bolder, while the man to the right welds a huge log that he’s getting ready to throw, although he looks a bit shaky. The reels are situated somewhere in the Scottish Highlands, and there is a screaming crowd that are dancing and waving tartan flags. The reels are encased in a border that is made from a bagpipe and more tartan. Sitting proudly on top of the reels is the game’s logo.

The soundtrack to this game combines crowd noises with a Celtic tune played on the bagpipes and violins. It’s uplifting, jolly and will make you want to join the crowd in their celebrations. When you hit spin, the reels rotate to the noise of loud drums, and each reel comes to a stop one by one with a gentle thudding noise. If you’re lucky enough to land a winning combo that involves the Scotsman scatter symbol, the ginger Scotsman will scream to let you know you’ve won.
