A Secret Garden Video Slot
January 6th, 2010
Secret Garden is one of the best free video slots I have played in a long time. This games has 5 reels with 20 different paylines to create all kinds of winning patterns. There wasn’t one second when I felt bored or frustrated while I was playing this free video slot. In contrary, the game just got funnier and better by the minute.
You see, this game falls under the category of “Video Slots” which happen to be my favorite type of slot games. Video slots have all sorts of special animations with a cool introductory video with jumping and flashing symbols all over the reels. Also, the background music and sound effects are very well placed and really make you feel as though you were inside the machine. It’s hilarious!
The Secret Garden introductory video creates suspension with the following phrase: “Who knows what grows behind the gates of the secret garden”. When you get to the actual game you’ll be welcomed by a series of beautiful garden background and a soothing music. The symbols include a
a rabbit, a little boy, a flower, a watering can, a rabbit chewing on a carrot, a squirrel, gardening tools and other sweet looking icons.
The scatter symbol is the garden door itself and if you happen to hit 5of these you will trigger 50 free spins with a 2x multiplier. In other words, big money! When the wild symbol of the bird appears a cute little animation is displayed and you can win up to 5000 coins..
In Secret Garden there is also a fun and entertaining bonus round. In order to get here you need to land 3 or more master key symbols. Your mission here is to pick several items that are hidden within the garden and you’ll get handsomely rewarded for doing so.

There are unique features in the game that will let the player add more winnings. For example, the wild symbol has a 2X multiplier during normal play and 3X during free spins. The symbol will work as a regular wild icon during normal play but will become an expanding wild during free spins. Free spins are great to get quick winnings. Players must land 3 scatters for 12 free spins with 3 x multipliers, 4 scatters for 45 free spins with 6x multipliers and 5 scatters for 78 free spins with 9x

A Switch in Time also has a Bonus Round that is triggered when a players lands 3 or more time machine icons. When entering this bonus round the player must take the control of the time machine and press a series of buttons. Certain button combinations determine whether you visit the past of the future.
