Slot Summary

A 96.72% RTP and medium volatility make Secret of the Stones a fit for readers who prefer a measured base game with its main variation reserved for the bonus. NetEnt uses a druidic stone-picking round to determine how Free Spins behave, adding extra spins, multipliers, Wild Reels, or additional Wild Symbols. The original game also became the Classic side of a later pairing with Secret of the Stones MAX.

How It Plays

Regular play follows twenty-five fixed paylines across five reels, with wins read from the left and Wild Symbols substituting for everything except Scatter Symbols.

The rhythm changes after a Scatter trigger because the player selects stones before Free Spins, establishing the modifiers that remain active during that round.

Theme & Atmosphere

Fantasy, Magic, Mythology, Nature, and Animals meet in a Celtic setting shaped by druids, stone circles, woodland creatures, and the Tree of Life.

The stone-selection sequence gives that mythology a mechanical role, turning carved monuments into concealed modifiers instead of leaving them as decorative scenery.

Fantasy Mythology Magic Nature Animals

Features & Win Potential

Wild Symbols can appear during regular play and Free Spins, substituting for ordinary symbols while leaving the Scatter Symbol outside their substitution role.

The Bonus Game can combine a Multiplier with additional Free Spins and Wild effects, meaning separate picks may alter several parts of the same round.

Bonus & Free Spins

Three or more Scatter Symbols award ten Free Spins, but the Scatter total also sets how many stones the player may open beforehand.

Each revealed stone supplies a bonus modifier, including extra Free Spins, a Multiplier increase, a Wild Reel, or additional Wild Symbols for the round.

How this works

Each simulated spin either misses or returns a win drawn from a log-normal distribution, with the hit rate and spread set by the slot's volatility tier (Medium). The model is calibrated so the average return equals this slot's published RTP (96.72%), with wins capped at its top multiplier (1,000×).

This is a simplified, parametric model of the game's math — not its real paytable. It exists to make the house edge visible over many sessions, so the numbers above are averages across thousands of runs, never a forecast of one.

This is math, not a prediction. Real sessions vary wildly, and no strategy changes a game's built-in house edge. Play for fun, set limits, and never bet more than you can afford to lose.
