About Flowers Slot
Flowers is a cheery little garden-themed slot from NetEnt, originally released back in 2013. It runs on a classic 5x3 layout with 30 paylines and packs a surprise: every flower symbol has a double version that lets you stack combos of up to 10 symbols. Daft little flower faces, bright green grass, blue sky, simple stuff really.
I'd say it's not the prettiest NetEnt slot you'll come across, but the gameplay quirks make up for the basic visuals. High volatility, decent RTP, and a max win that goes properly mental if you get lucky.
Symbols and Paytable
Card royals do the donkey work at the bottom: J pays 100 coins for five, Q pays 125, K pays 150, and A pays 200. Nothing flashy there, just filler to keep the reels turning.
Flowers are where the real money sits. Bluebells pay 1,200 coins for five, lilies 1,400, Venus flytraps 1,600, sunflowers 1,800, and roses top the lot at 2,000 coins. Each one has a double version that pays twice as much and lets you build combos of up to 10 symbols on a single line. The Wild fills in for everything except the scatter and double symbols, which is fair enough.

Bonus Features
Free Spins is the main event here, triggered by landing at least 4 cloud scatters on a spin. The scatter has a double version too, which makes things a bit easier. You'll get 10, 15, 20, 25 or 30 free spins for 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8 scatters respectively.
Every win during free spins gets a 3x multiplier slapped on, which is where the big money comes from. You can re-trigger by landing 4+ new scatters mid-feature. Land just 3 scatters and you'll still get a 2x bet multiplier as a consolation. Trigger 25 or 30 spins from the off and the multiplier jumps to 4x or even 10x. No Bonus Buy option though, which is a shame.
Bonus Buy Options
Land 4 or more cloud scatters to trigger 10 to 30 free spins with a 3x multiplier on all wins. Re-trigger by landing 4+ new scatters during the feature.
Every flower symbol has a double version that pays double and lets you stack winning combos of up to 10 symbols across the reels.
Payout, Volatility and RTP
RTP sits at 96.32%, just above the 96% industry average. Volatility is high, so be ready for dry spells before anything decent lands. The max win is 15,000x your stake, which works out to over a million quid in coins on max bet. Bets range from 0.30 to 75, so it suits most bankrolls. Honestly though, the free spins can be a proper pain to trigger.
Audio and Visual Impact
Visuals are pretty simple, blue sky background, green grass, and goofy-faced flowers waving around on the reels. The flower expressions made me chuckle, won't lie. There's no proper soundtrack, just sound effects when stuff happens on the reels. A bit underwhelming for a NetEnt game, but it doesn't get in the way of the gameplay either.
