Saxon

Saxon is a music IP slot based on Saxon, the pioneering British heavy metal band, where Biff Byford and the band members ride the reels of steel, with the band’s music playing along. It was released on August 13, 2020, and you can play it right away with the free demo.

What elements of the band does Saxon include?

The history of Saxon, regarded as pioneers of British heavy metal, is woven into the symbols throughout. Typical examples are the leather jacket with the S logo, the eagle logo used on several album artworks, and a crusader helmet. You can play while listening to the band’s music, so for fans it is an especially welcome title among the music IP slots from Play’n GO slots.

How do basic wins and wilds work?

You can make basic wins with heart, diamond, club, spade and star symbols. The wild substitutes for every symbol except the scatter, and it always drops as a full stack that fills the reel. When a wild appears, a whole reel effectively becomes wild, which makes connecting paylines much easier. For fans, there is also the fun of spotting the icons.

How does the stack multiplier increase?

Not only wilds but other symbols can also drop as stacks that fill the entire reel. Each time a full stack reel appears on a spin, that spin’s multiplier rises by +1, and when a wild drops it rises by +2. The multiplier is applied to that spin’s wins and then resets on the next spin. In effect, one wild takes care of one whole reel.

How many types of scatters are there?

This game has two types of scatters. The official description says the two scatters each play a different role, but the most accurate way to learn the details is to check them yourself in the demo. Since the stack multiplier and scatter features work together, there is plenty to watch even within a single spin. Telling the two scatter types apart is the first step to learning this game.

What should I check first in the demo?

The RTP is 94.22% and the max win is 10,000x your bet. There is no official volatility figure, so get a feel for it yourself in the demo. It helps to check how many full stack reels can appear on a single spin, how high the multiplier climbs when wilds mix in, and which feature each of the two scatter types leads to.
