Slot Features
The game is an all ways slot that pays from left to right. The game is played on a 4x5 grid and there are 2 special symbols – Portal Master and the Scatter Crystal.
The Portal Master Wild
The Portal Master is essentially an expanding Wild symbol that can substitute for all the symbols in the game to help form winning combos, except the Scatter. During the base game you will see it land only on reel 3, but the moment the symbol hits, it will expand and cover entire reel and give you an Energy Sphere that will get added to the Sphere Collection Rock one the left from the reels.
During Free Spins, the Wild can hit on middle reels – 2, 3 and 4, and it can appear on more than one reel per spin. However, instead of giving you the Energy Sphere as it does in the base, you will get 1 added spin each time it appears.
Scatter Crystal
Crystals are activation symbols and they can be used in a combination with Energy Spheres to create additional win opportunities. Only one Energy Sphere can be used per visible Scatter to transform into a regular symbol. Scatter Crystals can appear on all 5 reels.
Energy Spheres
Each time the Portal Master hits the reels a Sphere will get added to the Collection Rock on the left from the reels. You can use the saved Spheres to Trade Up for more powerful spheres or Use to transform Scatter Crystal symbols into regular ones. There are 3 different types of Spheres: Low-level, Mid-level and High-level Spheres.
There are 3 low-level Energy Spheres and when you hit Use, a random symbol on the grid will transform. If all 3 slots on the Rock are filled, no low-level spheres will get collected until there are some empty ones by Using or Trading up. There are 2 mid-level Energy Spheres that are acquired only by trading up the low-level ones, and you will need 3 low-levels to get one mid-level. Mid-level Spheres transform an entire line into the same random symbol. High-level Sphere can only be one on the Collection Rock and is acquired by trading up 2 mid-level Spheres. Any Trading Up must happen before the next spin and if there are no Scatters on the grid. When you Trade Up for High-level Sphere you will get a randomly chosen number of Free Spins.
Free Spins
The round is triggered when you trade 2 mid-level spheres for a high-level sphere. This will award a random number of Free Spins randomly before the feature starts, and you can get 10, 15, 20 or 25 spins.
Summary
Portal Master is one very interesting and intriguing type of slot. It offers great graphics and artwork with one of a quite unusual theme that we do not have the chance to run across often. On top of that, the features are innovative and really engaging, especially the Energy Spheres part, although the wait to actually collect these spheres may be somewhat tiring as they don’t seem to appear often. The RTP is set to 95% which is lower than the average but that should not deter you from testing this one out as it proves to be really interesting game.
