Before you start deciphering Nostradamus’ prophecies, you should set your betting range. When you click on "Coin Value" you will set coins size which ranges from 0.01 to 2. If you click on "Auto Spins" the reels turn without interruption for a chosen number of times. "Spin" button is used to set the reels in motion after you set your bets. When you click on "Turbo Mode" the reels will turn faster.
Moon on a Night Sky is the Wild symbol in the game and it can substitute for any symbol in the game except for the scatter.
Planets is the Bonus Scatter symbol in the game and it can appear on reels 1, 3 and 5. Once you land 3 symbols you will trigger Planet Bonus feature. Solar system will be shown, and when you press play the planets will start turning around the sun. When a planet lands on the Win Line it will award the multiplier displayed next to it. Any number of planets can stop on the Win Line. There are 6 planets.
Globe is the Free Spins symbol and if you land 3 of these you will start Free Spins feature. You will be awarded 5 spins and you can choose 1 reel modifier. If you land 4 symbols you will get 10 spins and you can select 2 reel modifiers, and 5 free spins symbols will get you 15 spins and 3 reel modifiers.
Modifiers are Wild symbols and once selected they will be active for a total of 5 spins. Modifiers are: Earthquake, Tsunami and Lightning. With Earthquake modifier after each spin will come aftershocks causing random symbols to fall away and others will take its place. With Lightning modifier, after each spin a lightning will strike on random symbols turning up to 4 symbols Wild. With Tsunami modifier, after each spin the tsunami will randomly turn 1 to 3 reels into Stacked Wilds.
Sometimes the scroll will unroll across the reels and Nostradamus will predict either an Earthquake, a Lightning or a Tsunami. All of these are separate features which will take place after the prediction. The predicted feature will modify the reels and will happen on the current spin. Also, a random multiplier will be applied on the current spin.

This Nostradamus game is not freely available at most casinos. I had come across it at CasinoPlex (Playtech casino) months before, but I finally gave it a try yesterday. Honestly speaking, you wouldn't be missing anything by not playing this game from Ash Gaming, simply because the game hasn't got enough interesting features! The maximum possible win of 555x the total bet is in the Planets Bonus game, but more on this later on. The Free Spins game hasn't got much 'oomph' for big wins either, so I found them very disappointing indeed!
Nostradamus plays with 243 ways to win, but with a starting minimum bet of only $0.25, which is good for small time players like me. However, after looking at the paytable, I must say that there wasn't anything interesting at all to be found there! The win values for all the symbols in the game are very low! Getting 5 of the Wild or Nostradamus symbol would only pay 500x the line bet, the Scatter and the Bonus symbols are both non-paying, and the other regular symbols pay from 300x down to a mere 20x the line bet for getting any 5 of them! Almost an extremely low paytable! Getting 3, 4 or 5 Globe Scatter symbols award 5, 10 or 15 free spins, without any multiplier, and cannot be retriggered either. Sheesh!
The Planets Bonus game has the maximum possible win of 555x the total bet, but only if you can get all the 6 Planets with their individual multipliers to land on the 'Winline'. My several Bonus games only gave 2 Planets stopping on the Winline, for a 15x total bet win, which isn't great by any standard! The best Planet has a 400x total bet win but is of course the hardest to get on that Winline.
In the base game, 1 of 3 random features can be triggered at any time, offering either the Multiplier, Earthquake or a Big Win feature. The Multiplier feature awards an instant bet-multiplied cash win, the Earthquake removes random symbols and replaces them with higher symbols, creating new wins, and the Big Win feature awards an instant Big Win by adding random Wild symbols onto the reels. Big in name, but hardly big in the win amount! A real disappointment in all the 3 features, with payouts of about 20x or less the total bet amount!
The Free Spins game is the biggest disappointment for me! Imagine getting only 5 free spins with no multipliers, and cannot be retriggered either. Those 5 free spins are not always with wins, so whatever you can win out of that 5 free spins is all that you can ever get! There can only be up to 4 random Wild symbols on the reels in the Lightning free spins mode, and there can only be 1 random Wild Reel in the Tsunami free spins mode. The Earthquake free spins mode removes and replaces random symbols, so the wins are highly variable! My worst win came from this lousy Earthquake mode, and my best win from the lousy Tsunami 1 Wild Reel mode.
Would I play this Nostradamus game again? Not in a million years! Nostradamus may have been a great predictor of events, but Ash Gaming designers are definitely poor predictors of players responses!
