Time travel might be out of reach, but it has undoubtedly tickled our imagination for many years, and franchises like Back to the Future to Avengers: Endgame are proof of our ongoing fascination for the topic.
Freezing time, on the other hand, might be less famous, but it’s the fantasy envisioned in “Eternal Empress Freeze Time“, the latest online slot developed by Wild Streak Gaming and Pragmatic Play.
While real-world time manipulation would require unimaginable technology, this game allows players to hit the right symbols at the perfect moment and pause everything.
The mysterious Eternal Empress holds the key, overseeing a grid set in a dazzling, Art Deco-inspired world.
The high-volatility slot features a 5-reel, 3-row layout counting 243 ways to win.
The wins start with the leftmost reel and they must be adjacent to create scoring opportunities.
Bets range from just 20 cents to $/€100, and the game has an RTP set at 96.5%.
The lower-paying symbols are the standard card icons from 10-A. High-paying symbols are represented by elegant rings, ornate pocket watches, masks, mysterious spheres, and the Empress.
Players who land at least five top-paying symbols can expect payouts between 2.5x and 7.5x the stake.
The wild symbol available on the middle three reels replaces regular symbols and helps form winning combos.
Special Features
The game ultimately revolves around a Money Collect feature and a Free Spins round.
Money Collect Feature – The wild doubles as the Money symbol, showing random values ranging from 1x up to 250x the total bet.
To cash in on the respective values, players must come across Ruby symbols.
The latter can land on either the first or last reels. Each of the symbols collects the values displayed by any present Money symbols on the grid, possibly turning a simple spin into a rewarding one.
Free Spins – Players need a minimum of three scatters to trigger the free spins round, which awards 10 free spins.
This is where the time-freezing action kicks in. During the free spins, Clock symbols and Padlock symbols introduce the Freeze Time mode.
When both symbols land on the same spin, Money symbols are locked in place, causing a series of respins where new Money symbols can join the frozen set.
Freeze Time spins do not count against the free spins total. The end of the freeze will occur once the Clock and Padlock land together again.
Final Thoughts
While Eternal Empress Freeze Time doesn’t quite deliver the heart-pounding thrills you might expect, it’s definitely a charming game that mixes elegant design, a drop of magical time manipulation, and simple features for a relaxed and engaging experience.
