Only recently, a few Rival casinos have become accessible again to me and it's an opportunity not to be missed. I quickly signed up (it was a new casino for me), downloaded and installed the software, and got it ready for action. In fact, it didn't take long at all and I was soon into the game already. I couldn't wait for another day to play it, hehehe.

The Bird is the Wild symbol in the game, paying 5000x the line bet for 5 of them, and substitutes for other symbols except the Scatter and the Bonus symbols. Sadly, the Wild is a dumb symbol, for not doubling any wins with it, and not becoming stacked or expanded. The Wooden Gate is the Scatter symbol, it doesn't pay anything for itself, but getting 3, 4 or 5 of them awards 20, 30 or 50 free spins with all wins doubled. More free spins can be retriggered. The Key is the Bonus symbol, it doesn't pay anything for itself too, but getting 3 or more of them awards Explore the Secret Garden Bonus game. Gees! Only now I realise that this game uses 3 dumb symbols - the Wild, the Scatter and the Bonus symbols, greatly reducing a lot of additional wins by getting them. As for the other symbols, the Roses pay 500x, the Girl pays 400x, the Squirrel pays 350x, the Boy pays 300x, and the rest pay from 150x to 65x, all per line bet for 5 of each kind, making the paytable a low one.

I like playing Explore the Secret Garden Bonus game, whereby you water the plant bed and collect roses for coins, a watering can and a key, to proceed to the next level. The game ends when you don't get any key to open the next gate. The maximum win is 5000 coins, or 250x the total bet amount, which is much better than what most other Bonus games can pay. The Free Spins games can be lots of fun and enjoyable at the right time, with retriggers occurring now and then. My best win on this Secret Garden game was from a Free Spins game that gave a total of 120 free spins, with a nice big payout I can't remember how much, but it was definitely between 500x to 1000x my bet amount. This happened many years ago, before I even knew how to take screenshots! Hehehe.

That’s all great but what matters the most is how generous this slot is , cause you are not going to play it just to feel comfortable there are some other things that matters a lot.

My personal experience with it wasn’t that good , I started playing it with maybe 150$ on my bonus balance , I usually when I raise my balance like to change slots , to explore new games . This slot is 20-lines slot with features like almost every other from rival , so in that point of view it isn’t that special.

I started playing with 2$ per spin , and I did get some nice combinations of 3 , 4 items combined in the first lets say 20 spins after that I get into a free spins feature which didn’t bring me any good , but what did get me a nice amount of money was bonus round . In bonus round you are controlling a girl and you plant flowers in the middle of a room then you water it , it grows fast and you gain some goods for it, keys and other stuff and then you choose from four doors  I cant explain the best whats the point but with “knowledge” I had about that I got 72$ , which is a pretty decent win. That attracted me and I continue playing with the same bet and after that bonus round I didn’t get any win bigger that 5$ until I dropped under 70$ and that’s when I changed my slot.

So that’s my experience of Secret Garden , I hope someone find it useful.

I found the graphics on this game very childish and badly colored. They actually started hurting my eyes after some time and that was a good enough reason to stop playing.

There are 20 lines in this game and because I did not like it I always bet small. That way I can play for ages and not worry about loosing all of my money. The pays are exactly same as most of other 20 line Rival games and only wild can make you real cash. Five of them would get you sweet $50 on smallest bet. I never managed to win more than $5 in one spin and by the looks of it never will. To be honest I'm not even trying.

The game has two bonuses, I get the key bonus more so I'll start with it. When ever you get three keys or more you are awarded with the bonus. You have to water plants and what ever grow you get, you can also find a key to next door. Max I won was around $14 on the smallest bet. The good thing is that this bonus comes out more and you can make your money back.
You can also get free spins and they go up to 50. I never got 50 all I got was 20 free spins with 2 x. On average I win around $15 and max is around $25.

Overall the game is not my cup of tea and I find it boring. The graphics hurt my eyes and no spectacular wins so far.
My rating 4 out of 10.

The visual display is solid but I think it would have been more attractive with better color usage and in my opinion the brickwork background at the Wall Fountain symbol just doesn’t fit the big picture well. I also feel sometimes that the interface of the slot is overdone a little bit for this theme and a graphically simpler scheme would be much suitable.

The game segment of this 20-payline slot provides the very typical Rival qualities, namely, there’s nothing terrible but either nothing exceptional things we can find here just mediocre features and paying abilities. 5000 coins is the most we can win here with a full line of Duck symbols which also serves the game as scatter but when it does its substituting function it can’t multiply the value of wins at all. On the other hand, fortunately there’s no restriction regarding on what reels it can appear and so it really uses this benefit as in my experience it quite often arrives on the reels.

The nice Gate icon is the scatter and can award 20, 30 or even 50 free games where every wins are counted by x2 multiplier value. Master Key emblem triggers the Explore the Secret Garden Bonus game which a multi-level side game where we have to water plants and when the garden becomes a beautiful one again we can collect some fallen flowers which all reveals cash prizes and other pictograms like Can which is refills our water or Key with which we can enter to another stage. It’s not a bad bonus however it should be a little interesting.

Somehow while playing the game there’s no feel that a real big win would easy to achieve and the general payout tendency is also not too generous. Unfortunately, I can’t find neither the free spins nor the bonus game would be profitable and I can say their average payouts don’t live up to the expectation or at least that level that an ordinary Rival slot provides. So that’s why I can’t consider it as a real good game and although there’s no major problem with the slot but Secret Garden doesn’t possess the ability to be entertaining, well-paying or too exciting. Some improvements here and there would require to be more characteristic and what would make this game more attractive for players.

I do not like small payouts during main game. I never won any decent win from it.

Only now I realised how low the paytable is! Back in those days, such things did not matter much to me at all, but the game played and paid well for me, but it also ate very well too at most other times. Nonetheless, this is still one of my favourite games from Rival software.
