20,000x. That’s the max win of “Timber Trail Treasures,” released by Yggdrasil on August 13. It’s a 6×4 slot set in a forest inhabited by bears, owls, and wolves, and Yggdrasil classifies it as high volatility. The first sentence of the press release was “money really does grow on trees.”
The base game is driven by Sync Reels
A win happens when 3 or more of the same symbol land on connected reels from the left. On top of that, Sync Reels trigger at random. It’s a feature that matches 2 to 6 reels with the same symbol. When the reels move in lockstep, winning combinations multiply at once, and when all 6 match, it becomes 4,096 ways.
The wild is the lumberjack. He acts as the guide who cuts the forest path, substituting for other symbols to connect wins. He is the man standing with an axe on his shoulder in the main image.
The soundtrack is tuned to the forest too. Yggdrasil pairs calm woodland music with the reward structure and describes it as “a good place to take a break.” It is a different feel from the tense sound common in high-volatility games. The screen is filled with forest animal symbols like bears, owls, and wolves, plus stone symbols carved with runes.
Three features that can hit at any time
The base game has more features that trigger randomly with no conditions. They’re summarized in the table below.
| Features | What it does |
|---|---|
| Sync Reels | Match 2-6 reels with the same symbol |
| Timber Multiplier | Gives a 2x multiplier on that spin |
| Respins | One extra spin adds one more sync reel |
Notably, a respin adds one more Sync Reel. If three reels are already matched and a respin triggers, it grows to four. The features are built to boost one another.
The Timber Multiplier is fixed at 2x, but it feels much bigger when it overlaps with a spin that has many sync reels attached. The more winning combinations there are, the more of them get the 2x applied. All three features can appear on any spin in the base game.
400 fireflies unlock the jackpot wheel
Fireflies gather outside the reels. Collect 400 points and you can spin the jackpot wheel, which has four jackpot tiers. The Major prize is up to 2,000x your bet. The collection state carries over, so the more spins you keep playing, the closer you get to the wheel.
This progress builds up separately from reel wins, so there is something to work toward even during dry stretches. In a high-volatility game, a feature like this makes empty spins less dull.
The only jackpot amount disclosed is the Major at max 2,000x. The amounts for the other three tiers weren’t in the press release. You can see how the wheel is divided into segments directly in the demo. According to our game page, one jackpot prize is guaranteed on this wheel.
Free spins build up multipliers
In free spins, the multiplier rises each time you collect a Timber symbol, and this multiplier stays for the whole bonus. At least 2 Sync Reels are guaranteed every spin, and when a Red Rock symbol lands, you get one more respin. The more respins, the more chances to collect Timber.
In some regions and with some operators, you can jump straight into free spins with bonus buy. Yggdrasil describes this as “if you want to skip the hike.”
Bonus buy is not available everywhere. Yggdrasil also added the caveat “only in some regions and with participating operators.” Where bonus buy is blocked, the only way into free spins is to trigger them with scatters. You can browse Yggdrasil’s other games on the provider page.
In short
On our game page the RTP is 96.00%, with 94%, 92%, and 90.5% versions also available. Hit frequency is 33.98% and the bet range runs from 0.10 to 100. Even though it is high volatility, the hit frequency is on the high side, roughly one win every three spins. With sync reels, a jackpot wheel, and free spins with accumulating multipliers, the features are packed in, so it is worth learning the flow in the demo first.
