This video slot is simple to play – all you have to do is adjust your wager by using the buttons under the reels and, once you are happy with your choice, click the spin button. A win occurs if you land three or more matching symbols along a payline from left to right. The special features include multipliers, a wild, scatter symbols that trigger free spins and, in the Extra Spin round, stacked and sticky wilds.
About the slot
NetEnt released this fun video slot back in July of 2014. If you decide to play this game, you will be taken on a remarkable journey to a desolate island where an enigmatic tribe used to live. The monuments and artefacts that the mysterious tribe left behind are used as the symbols on the slot's reels. If Lady Luck is smiling on you, you might find yourself going home with some of the tribe's forgotten treasures.
This slot's reels are set on a jungle background which depicts the deserted island. The game also has some soothing background music which matches the theme of the slot. This slot is equipped with various special symbols, a free spin round, and multipliers which offer the chance of big payouts. However, before playing with real cash, it is advisable to play the game for free, so you can completely understand all the features of the slot.
Slot technicalities
Lost Island is made up of a number of symbols that are represented by artefacts and regular playing cards. The playing card symbols in this slot include 10, J, Q, K, and A, and these make up the lower-paying symbols. The Ace is the highest paying low-paying symbol – 5 of these along a payline will reward you 100x your stake. The high-paying symbols include a blue gem necklace, a triangular stone, a golden artefact, a green drum, and round token. The token is the highest paying high-paying symbol – if you land five of these along a payline, you will be rewarded with 500x your stake.
The wild symbol is a glowing purple flower that can act as a substitute for all other symbols except for the scatter symbol. Also, each wild will contribute to the multiplier meter that can be seen above the reels, but we'll talk more about this below. This video slot also comes with a scatter symbol of this video, which is a golden turtle that has a multi-coloured gem at its centre. Like with most slot games, the scatter is what activates the free spins bonus feature. Therefore, you should keep a close eye out for them. You can find out more about this feature below.
Slot special functions
As mentioned above, there is a multiplier meter above the reels, and this comes into action when wilds appear. If you land one wild, you will receive a 1x multiplier, and if you get three wilds, you will receive a 3x multiplier.
The Extra Spins feature of this slot is triggered if you manage to land 3 or more of the scatter symbols anywhere on the reels. Three scatters will reward you with 10 free spins, four will give you 40 free spins, while 5 will give you 30 free spins.
If this wasn't enough, it is possible to retrigger this bonus feature if you manage to land 3 or more scatter symbols during the bonus round. This is great as there are many slot games out there that do not allow you to retrigger the bonus round.
But wait, there's more! The multiplier feature that we mentioned above is also in play during the free spins. Furthermore, during your free spins, a wild symbol will be placed in the middle of reel three, and any other wilds that appear can be stacked.
Slot tips and tricks
Before you start to play this video slot, there are few tips you should take into consideration. If you do this, you will find that your playing experience is much more enjoyable.

- You should always set yourself a budget and stick to it – if you lose all of your pot, stop playing the game.

Summary

Overall though, if you are a fan of NetEnt games, you will enjoy this one.
