Design, Theming
Little is really known about the Druids, though we think that Netent has designed this game with just the right amount of mystery and fantasy as you'd imagine. It's a peaceful game, designed with 5 reels, 4 rows, 40 bet lines and a win both ways feature. You can bet from £0.20p up to £400 per spin.
The reels are set on large tablets inscribed with mystical runes in a magical and enchanted forest where 2 Druids go about their lives. Owls, Bears, Runestones, the Druids, and magic artefacts adorn the reels. As for the slot game soundtrack; as you can expect, when the theming is all about Druids and ancient mysticism - you can only get one outcome: a peaceful and enchanting soundtrack! The sounds of the forest are superbly woven into the gameplay to create a truly immersive experience that guarantees a very chilled experience. On the design front - Netent has once again, done a fantastic job.
Symbols Within The Game
- Highest paying symbol combination is two wilds, matched only by the white wolf.
- Second highest paying symbol: is the owl, another friend of the Druids that dwells within the forest.
- Other symbols in the game include the Druid Drum, an ancient device that they use for spells and summoning and the clay whistle.
- The last tier of symbols are the beautifully coloured stones, inscribed with runes.
- The Scatters are the two Druids: who are the guardians of the forest
In-Game Features
Druids Dream slot offers plenty of in-game features so that you don't get too relaxed - this is a slot game after all. Druid's Dream slot machine has Wilds and Scatters, Wild Charges and Re-Spins, a Nudge Feature and for all those reading who love a Free Spins feature - yep, this slot has one too! From the outset, it appears that this game is jam-packed full of in-game features to keep things fun and entertaining.
Wild & Scatters
The Wild symbols can appear as single Wild symbols on reels 1,3 and 5 in the main base game. In the Re-Spins feature, they can appear on reel 3 and then during the Free Spins feature, they can appear on reels 1 and 5. The Wild symbols can also appear as stacked Wilds, on reels 2 and 4 in the main based game and also the Re-Spins feature but on reel 3 in Free Spins feature. Look out for the stacked wilds which can cover up the entire reel, depending on how the reels land. Wild symbols substitute for all symbols except for the Scatter symbols. Scatter symbols substitute for all symbols.
Wild Charge & Re-Spins
Wild symbols landing as a stack on reel 2 or 4 together with one Scatter symbol will become charged and activate the Re-Spins feature. Every Wild symbol awards a Re-Spin. The Scatter symbol and Wild symbols that are activated in the Re-Spins will remain on the reels until the end of the Re-Spins.
Nudge Feature
During the main base game, the Nudge feature can be activated together with the Re-Spins if one stack of Wild symbols lands on the reels together with a Scatter symbol and the second stack of Wild symbols lands on the reels without a Scatter symbol. The Nudge feature ends when the second Scatter symbol lands on the reels or when the Re-Spins ends. Furthermore, during the Re-Spins feature, a stack of Wild symbols landing on reel 2 or 4 without a Scatter symbol will activate the Nudge feature on the next Re-Spin for a chance to land a second Scatter symbol on the reels.
Free Spins Feature
When you land 2 Scatter symbols on reels 2 and 4 in the base game or during the Re-Spins feature, you will activate a total of 6 Free Spins. Each charged Wild symbol on reels 2 and 4 will grant you one more additional Free Spin too. All Scatter and Wild symbols which are activated during the Free Spins game are also transformed into the Wild symbols and will remain on the reels until the end of Free Spins. Additionally, during the Free Spins game, a stack of Wild symbols with a Scatter symbol can also appear on the third reel. If a Scatter symbol lands on reel 3 together with a Wild symbol, 3 more free spins will be rewarded.
Win Both Ways
With most online slots, the winnings are counted starting from left to right, which means that your winning sequence needs to start from the leftmost reel. However, newer and modern slots sometimes have what's called a "Win Both Ways" feature. Druid Dreams is one such slot game that has the Win Both Ways system. This means that your winning combinations will be counted from both the right and also left-hand sides. If you're still unsure of what this means, it means that even if your first 2 reels are empty, as long as the last 3 have a winning combination, you’ll be able to claim your prize, though, if it was not a 'Win Both Ways' slot game, you wouldn't win anything. For this reason, Win both Ways slots remain ever popular.
Druids Dream RTP %, Volatility & Game Rules
Druids Dream slot has an RTP of 96% which is average to slightly below average for Netent slots. It's also a low-medium variance slot, which is probably done intentionally due to the chilled theming of the game. What this means is that although there's a large range of betting options, you have a choice of how little or much you will bet, but the wins would come in on the smaller side, though much more frequently than a high variance slot (though the wins would be a much larger amount).

Our Review of Druids Dream Slot
This slot game might not hit the spot for some hard hitters who enjoy their online slots with a bit more edge and high volatility, though we do believe that most will enjoy this game for what it does offer: plenty of fun in-game features, including the free spins game, and it's theming and design. It would have been good if Netent added a max feature to give you some additional bet options if you wanted them, or perhaps a bigger win potential, however, this game is still highly recommended to play.
