The story of Tarzan and Jane is a childhood Disney favourite across the globe. Although the Island Eyes slot doesn’t reference it directly, we have to assume given the imagery that this is the target legend of the game! Jane seems a little more native than in the traditional stories and her eyes are very much on the prize in this new 5-reel spinner.
Enter the jungle, seek out the super stacked symbols and scatters to make a name for yourself as an intrepid explorer. Will this be a wild slot gaming adventure? Will you find the mythical couple and let them guide you to hidden jungle treasure? It’s time to dust off your backpack, slap on the mosquito repellent and head into the Island jungle!
For those who have played the Cherry Mischief or Golden Goddess slots, Island Eyes should be very easy to setup. It’s, mechanics wise at least, a carbon copied clone of those games. The only difference is the theme and that the spins don’t re-trigger. Other than that you get exactly the same 40 pay-lines to choose from with a minimum maximum bet of 0.01 / 10.00 credits per line. This does mean a 0.40 credit bet to play all lines at the lowest possible stake, so feel free to reduce the lines if bankroll management is a concern, though we’d play all at min bet rather than reduce them at a higher stake.All the other controls are lifted straight from the stock High 5 Games catalogue, there is a last win replay, manual and automatic spin options (Up to 25x), a click button pay-table and clear windows to display your balance and hopefully, your wins.
As with most High 5 Games titles, this is very easy on the eye, with a range of photo-realistic pay icons. They are a little sparse it must be said in quantity if not quality and the inclusion of royal playing card symbols is a little bit disappointing overall. H5G have shown on slots like the incredible Hoot Loot that they can easily do a full bespoke range of icons – so no excuses. The pay-outs for the icons are a little on the weak side also, it seems to balance the medium variance out H5G have focused the big wins on stacked symbols (Which do come with great animations) rather than individual line pay-outs. Even the wild jungle maiden herself as most valuable, will pay out only 50x the line bet for a full 5x set.
The games fixed wild symbol substitutes for all symbols except for the scatter. It also forms the only symbol on the slot with a massive pay-out in its own right. There is 10/50/250 and 1000x the bet line available for a sequence of 2/3/4 or 5 wilds on an active pay-line. A frustration here is that the scatter doesn’t offer a pay, you need nine of them to trigger the bonus round. Getting nearly a full screen of them – with just one missing and a stacked wild in the first reel, will pay you nothing as a result. On pretty much any other game we can think of this would be a huge win.
To allow a little more gambling action on the Island Eyes game, High 5 Games have focused the pay-outs very much at a combination of the free spins round and the super stacked symbols. When all 9 scatters come in on the middle three reels you get to blind pick one of them to decide on the super stack for the bonus round. Every time that pick appears during the free spins – it will cover the whole reel.
There are just 7 spins on offer and, in a fall back to early H5G titles, no re-trigger available. Just because the wins can only really come in the spins round – doesn’t mean they are guaranteed, we’ve played through all seven spins without a single win before now! This does make the game very ‘streaky’. Some players, those who hit numerous valuable bonus rounds, will be thrilled. Those who don’t are liable to desert this island – never to return.
Island Eyes is a solid slot game and unlike other manufacturers who use the same theme over and over again. It is unique. Despite that, it does, when compared to some of the modern slots in the range such as Foxy Dynamite, feel a little jaded. On the other hand a criticism of some H5G games is that they aren’t volatile enough to satisfy a true gambler, this slot very definitely is!
It’s clear that Island Eyes isn’t one for the faint hearted, it isn’t low variance enough or for that matter entertaining enough to be really valuable as a free play slot machine. With that wild in play though, and the fact we know the game can put together some spectacular streaks. It could be very worthwhile to the cash player who catches it at the right time and place.
Island Eyes Gameplay
Island Eyes is a five reel slot with 40 pay lines. These 40 lines are set as the default amount, although you can choose to play 30, 20, 10 or even a single line. The bet per line starts at just 1c and goes all the way through to $10, making for a slot which can be played by anyone, as the total stakes for a spin go from just 1c up to a maximum of $400.
Like many of the High 5 Range of games, you’ll find Super Stacks as the major feature of the game. This sees one particular symbol chosen at random at the beginning of each spin and this symbol will now fill the majority of the reels – this symbol could be any at the game, including the wild or the scatter. This super stacks system will see winning spins where you’ll potentially have a great number of wins across many of the 40 pay lines.
The one symbol you’ll want to see ‘super stacked’ is the wild, which will substitute for any other symbol apart from the scatter. This symbol is represented by the title of the slot and has a top payout of 1,000 coins when hitting the maximum five in a row, wins coming here when you land consecutive symbols from left to right on a pay line. The other payouts can seem a little low, with 50, 40, 30 and 20 coins being the top payouts for the female, male, the tiger and the eagle respectively, although with those large multiple wins, you won’t be left out of pocket. The playing card letters and numbers from 10 to Ace complete the standard symbols on the reels.
Options at the slot include a very useful auto play button which will enable you to enjoy 5, 10, 15, 20 or 25 spins without any interruption, a mute button to toggle the sound on and off and an instant replay button. This instant replay option is a feature of all of the High 5 Games range and allows you to watch that big win again and again.
The game is easy on the eye, but in comparison to some slots, the graphics are a little lacking in places. The main character symbols look OK, but there is a noticeable lack of animation at the game, while the playing card symbols can dominate the reels at times. The accompanying soundtrack is a little ordinary too, with mostly generic sounds joining each spin.
Island Eyes Feature
Island Eyes Slot Machine Slots
The feature is activated by landing the scatter symbol so that it covers reels 2, 3 and 4 completely (this will only happen when the scatter is chosen as the Super Stacked symbol). This scatter looks like a small bronze shield and if it does fill those reels you’ll find yourself with 7 free spins. Having landed the feature you’ll pick one of the scatters which will reveal the female, the male, the tiger or the eagle and these will be the super stacked symbol throughout the feature. Each of the free spins is potentially more profitable as the super stacked symbols are now only the higher paying ones, although it would be nice if the wild was an option here.
