This game with its beautiful backdrop is one of the International Game Technology games, as like all their games, have stunning graphics and sounds. The background of Garden Party is a summer garden, full of flowers and the sounds of busy bees and chirping birds. This game uses all the flower and garden symbols associated with summer and a Garden Party. The player will see an ornate Water Fountain, Hats with flowers on them, Butterflies and Sundials, garden flowers and even Gnomes. The classic playing card symbols are there too, from nine through to the Ace, and even they are adorned with ladybirds and butterflies.
No Standard Pay Lines, But 1024 Ways to Win
The Garden Party offers the player five reels and 1024 ways to win, with MultiWay Xtra. This is a feature designed by International Game Technology, and means that with each spin of the reels there will be 1024 ways to win. Instead of wagering on the standard pay lines, players pay for reel positions.
Pay lines are largely redundant, and as long as matching symbols appear on the adjacent reels, the player will hit on a winning combination, and as an extra feature, matching symbols on the same line will reward the player for that win with a multiplier. MultiWay Xtra adds more opportunities for players to increase payouts. This game also offers players a free spins bonus that will allow the player to choose the number of free spins he will play, and the level of multiplier to go with them.
The Exciting Garden Gnome Bonus
The Garden Party logo is the Wild, and will stand in for all symbols except the Garden Gnome, who is the Scatter. If one or more of the Wilds substitute for another symbol in a winning combination, then the payout for that win will be doubled. The Wild appears on all other reels apart form Reel 1.
The main bonus feature in this game is certainly the Garden Gnome feature, which is activated by three or more of the happy Garden Gnome symbols appearing anywhere in any of the reels. The player can then choose the number of free spins and the multiplier that he would like, from a screen with five tablets of wood, each containing the following options. There are five options to choose from, and naturally the higher the multiplier that is selected, the lower the number of free spins the player will receive. One choice is five free spins with a 20 times multiplier, or ten free spins with a 15 times multiplier.
Another option is fifteen free spins with a ten times multiplier, or twenty free spins with a multiplier of five times. The last option is thirty free spins with a multiplier of 3. The Garden Gnome Free spins feature can be reactivated up to three times during the free spins.
Autospin Feature
The Garden Party has an autospin button as well, for players who wish to let the device do the work for them for a bit. Garden Party is classified as a high variance game. Like bingo, this game can be played on the player’s smart phone or tablet. There is also the possibility of playing this game for free, until the player feels he knows the game well enough to play for real money.
