Flowers overview
Flowers is a 5x3, 30-payline slot from NetEnt, first released in 2013. I see it as a simple legacy design with one mechanic doing most of the heavy lifting, double symbols. From a math perspective, that single twist changes the pay pattern more than the theme suggests, because combinations can extend beyond standard five-of-a-kind logic.
Reviews place the RTP at 96.32%, with high volatility used far more often than the occasional med-high label. The numbers tell you this is not a frequent small-hit grinder. The base game can drag a bit, and the visual package is dated, but the model still has a clear upside because the maximum win reaches 15,000x.
Symbols
5 reels and 30 fixed paylines keep the framework traditional. Wins land from left to right with 3 or more matching symbols on a payline. Looking at the paytable structure, low symbols are J, Q, K and A, paying 100, 125, 150 and 200 coins for five. Premium flowers run from bluebells at 1,200 coins to roses at 2,000 coins for five.
Double symbols are the defining part of the pay model. Each flower can appear in single and double form, and the double version counts as two symbols while carrying double value. That is how Flowers can create winning combinations up to 10 matching symbols. Wild substitutes for regular symbols, but not for Scatter or double symbols.

Flowers bonus features
4 or more cloud scatters trigger Free Spins, and the same counting logic applies here because scatters also have single and double versions. Awards are fixed at 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 free spins for totals of 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 scatters. From a math perspective, this is the whole game, because the top-end EV sits in this round.
Every free spin uses a 3x multiplier on wins, and the feature can re-trigger with 4 or more new scatters. Reviews also note an extra bet multiplier if only 3 scatters land during free spins, set at 2x as standard, or 4x and 10x if the feature started with 25 or 30 spins. There is no Bonus Buy, so you have to reach the feature naturally.
Bonus Buy Options
Triggered by at least 4 cloud scatters counted across single and double scatter symbols. Awards 10, 15, 20, 25 or 30 free spins for 4 to 8 scatters, with a 3x multiplier on wins and re-trigger potential.
Payout, Volatility and RTP
96.32% RTP is decent rather than standout, and one source lists 96.47%, but the tighter figure is 96.32%. High volatility is the more consistent classification across the reviews. The numbers tell you bankroll swings matter here, because the game concentrates value in less frequent premium events instead of paying steadily through the base game.
Maximum win is 15,000x your stake, which equals 1,125,000 coins at the top £75 stake cited in the reviews. I do not see any hit-frequency data in the sources, but the repeated comment is clear, free spins can be hard to trigger. That fits the volatility profile and explains why some players rate the slot as patient-money only.
