3 Secret Cities Slot Game | 4ThePlayer Slots

3 Secret Cities, developer 4ThePLayer has hit on a great trick to get their slots to the top of lists; all their titles start with a number. But, to be honest, this little marketing technique isn’t really necessary as the studio already has a reputation for turning out unique, innovative games.

And with 3 Secret Cities, they’ve outdone themselves. Visually, this is a stunning game, with the 5×4 grid set against an animated jungle background in the base game. And all the symbols, from the two beautiful female character premiums, the explorer and the Indian, to the low paying 10 to Ace card rank symbols, are impressively decorated and detailed.

As players progress through the game and uncover the secret cities, the background behind the semi-transparent game grid changes to reveal different landscapes. All these effects combine to create thrilling, immersive gameplay and a real sense of adventure. If we have one criticism of the design, it’s the birdsong soundtrack, which is very repetitive, and basically just annoying after a few minutes.

With such impressive design work, some studios might be tempted to relax when it comes to gameplay. But not 4ThePlayer; true to their name, they’ve come up with a tremendous progressive bonus round. This might not be the most innovative idea when it comes to bonuses. But the way it is presented makes it much more engaging than you would expect.

Game Features

A golden Aztec coin is the wild and will help to form winning combinations on the 1,024 paylines by standing in for missing symbols. 

The bonus round triggers when the scatter symbol simultaneously appears on reels 1, 3, and 5. If only 2 scatters land, players click one to possibly win a cash prize worth up to 50x their bet or progress on the bonus round trail. This can be seen on a map above the reels, and as the player moves from location to location, the potential rewards get higher and higher.  

Once three scatters have landed, the Temple Pick feature opens. Here, players click blocks to reveal the number of free spins, a win multiplier, and a pay symbol to appear super stacked on the reels. The maximum possible free spins and multiplier value that can be won in each location are as follows:

1. Jungle City – max 15 free spins + x5 multiplier for a potential 16,000x the bet max win.
2. Lake City – max 25 free spins + x8 multiplier for a potential 30,000x the bet max win.
3. Gold City – max 50 free spins + x15 multiplier for a potential 50,000x max win.

Players in certain jurisdictions, but not the UK, can take advantage of a bonus buy offer to trigger these rounds.
