Easter Island

By Matthew Kennedy | Updated 10 June 2026

Easter Island is one of the latest slots from everyone’s new favourite iGaming software develop, Yggdrasil.With the closest the online casino world has to a rags to riches story behind it, Yggdrasil has done the impossible and managed to stand up with the very best in the business despite being a comparatively new provider.This is due in no small part to the exquisite games the company is capable of producing, and they’ve done it again with Easter Island.

About the slot

With five-reels, and a payline structure that goes from 27 up to 103 (more on that later) Easter Island is playable from 10p to £200 a spin on all compatible desktop, mobile, and tablet devices.Set on Easter Island, funnily enough, the reels are bordered by two of the huge statues the island is famous for.On the reels you will find wooden card suits for the low symbols and carvings of animals for the higher values, with the red eagle being the most profitable, paying 500x your bet for five on a payline.

Gameplay

There’s three features to speak of here, without a free spins feature in sight, because Yggdrasil tend to do things a little different to most.Firstly, there’s the Symbol Swap Respin feature, meaning that if you get a win with a high value symbol, you will receive a respin where all high value symbols will change to match the winning symbol, the same thing happens with lower value symbols if you land a combination of those.With an Expanding Reels feature that sees more paylines added with every win (up to 103 for five of a kind), and an Expanding Wild feature which seems wilds take over the whole reel they land on, and stick for the Symbol Swap Respin, there’s a lot of ways to win with this top-quality, beautiful slot game.
