Lost Relics 2 Review

Lost Relics 2 Reviewed by Casinogamesonnet.com

NetEnt produced a popular book-of style slot 5 years ago called Lost Relics. This game features a female explorer in an Indiana Jones type adventure. Fast forward to today, and NetEnt is back with Lost Relics 2. This slot picks up on the previous adventure—except this time with a male explorer.

You can find out if the sequel is as good as the original in the following Lost Relics 2 slot review. We will cover the features, RTP, gameplay, graphics, and more.

Gameplay and Graphics

This online slot features a 6x6 grid with cluster pays. The grid can expand and offer more positions in the bonus (discussed later). You need at least 5 matching symbols to form a winning cluster. Winning symbols will break stone blocks that serve as blockers.

As for the graphics, Lost Relics 2 offers a polished look. It’s one of the better book-of slots from a visual perspective. The base game setting takes place in a standard Egyptian tomb. You will see uneven stone pillars on the sides of the screen. Trigger the bonus and you’ll head deeper into the pyramid, where a water passage lies. Overall, we like the look and settings of Lost Relics 2.

Payouts and Max Win Potential

Symbols include four low-paying card suits, while high pays consist of four mask pieces. The highest-paying mask delivers 50x the stake for a cluster of 20+ symbols. The Lost Relics 2 max win is 21,148x the stake, which is high compared to the average game.

A “W” serves as the wild symbol and substitutes for other symbols to create wins. It does not offer any wins on its own.

RTP, Volatility and Betting Options

The Lost Relics 2 RTP is 96.03%, which is average compared to other online slots. This game offers a tight betting range going from €0.10 to €4 per spin. Volatility is high due to explosive features and a large maximum win.

Game Features

Lost Relics 2 does not have an abundance of extras. But its hidden treasure chests, hidden treasure chest prizes, and free spins work together to potentially deliver serious payouts.

Hidden Treasure Chests

You’ll notice stone blocks beneath regular positions on the grid. The blocks underneath winning clusters break and can reveal partial or whole treasure chests. You can uncover a partial chest on the next spin and collect its prize.

Treasure Chest Prizes

Available treasure chests include Sliver, Golden, and Amethyst. You receive a better prize when opening a Golden or Amethyst chest. Speaking of which, the prizes include:

• Instant Prize – You collect a cash value ranging from 2x to 250x the stake.
• Multiplier – A multiplier worth 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x, or 7x applies to wins. The multiplier will remain active for every spin during the free spins bonus.
• Random Wild – This prize adds up to 7 wilds on the grid. In the bonus round, these wilds become sticky for all spins.
• Free Spins – Triggers free spins and adds another 2-6 free games to your spin count.
• Level Up – Only available in the bonus, this chest will expand the grid size as much as 10x10.

Free Spins

You unlock the bonus through either a hidden treasure chest or 3 scatter symbols. You’ll get 10 free games by default, with 2-6 more spins when triggering with a hidden chest.

The Level Up chest can expand the grid to 8x8 and, afterward, 10x10. Expanded reels cause all partial chests to reset. Upon hitting 10x10, you can unlock all prizes (except Level Up) through an Amethyst chest. No more chests land after this point until the bonus round ends.

Comparison to the Original Lost Relics

One notable change from the first Lost Relics to the sequel is the new character. You’ll be helping a male explorer hunt for treasures rather than the women from the first game.

Another difference is the grid, with Lost Relics featuring a 5x5 grid. The follow-up has a 6x5 board that can reach 8x8 and 10x10.

Perhaps the biggest difference between these slot games is the win potential. Lost Relics has a paltry top win worth 1,000x the stake. Meanwhile, the sequel boasts much higher win potential at 21,148x.

Final Thoughts on Lost Relics 2 Slot

We’ll give NetEnt credit for not churning out a reskin in Lost Relics 2. This game has enough differences from the original to warrant its existence. The grid (6x6 to 10x10), features (more chest possibilities), and wins (up to 21,148x) are bigger and better.

We did find the stone blocks tough to break at times. The concept of busting blocks with winning symbols sounds simple enough. However, this game has a habit of leaving 1-2 stones on the grid for a while. When you do break these blocks, they don’t always offer the greatest treasure chest reward.

Of course, such is the way of high volatility slots. The big win potential can make the hunt worth the effort. You’ll especially be swimming in stolen loot if you’re able to unlock the Amethyst chest in the bonus.

Even if not, you should find Lost Relics 2 to be another solid book-of slot. This game is also a little different than the average book game thanks to its grid/cluster-pays mechanic. That said, we recommend giving Lost Relics 2 slot at least one chance.

Release Date
