The mystical Himalayan kingdom known as Shangri-La was first described in 1933 by author James Hilton. The concept of such a kingdom became so popular, and a testament to that popularity is the fact that there is now a NetEnt slot inspired by it. With an unusual 6x5 slot structure, The Legend of Shangri-La is as magical as you can imagine. The guru stands to the left of the reels, and the background depicts a tranquil landscape of flowers, mountains, and waterfalls.

Gameplay begins with setting your bets. Set your preferred coin denomination by clicking on the Coin Value tabs, and the number of coins to bet per spin by clicking on the Level tabs. If you want to wager the maximum amount allowed, click on Max Bet. Set the reels into motion by clicking on the Spin button in the middle of the control panel. For a chosen number of uninterrupted spins, click on Autoplay.

Feature Symbols

You will not see the usual playing card symbols in this game, as all game symbols are theme-related. Lower-value symbols include a green butterfly, a goldfish, a pink flower, and a purple dragonfly. Higher-value symbols are depicted as gurus—the blue elephant with purple clothing and background, the monkey guru with green clothing and background, and the cat guru with red clothing and background—and they occupy two positions on the reels.

A green globe with a question mark in the center serves as the game’s Wild symbol. It substitutes for any other symbol on the reels that will reward you with the highest payout whenever there are possible clusters formed. The only symbol it cannot substitute for is the Scatter symbol. The Scatter symbol also occupies two positions and is designed like a papyrus, showing a landscape with a palace, some trees, and a dragon.

Bonus Rounds

This slot has a Nudge Reel feature, which is activated when you land two Scatter symbols on the reels, and a third one lands out of view. The hidden Scatter symbol may be nudged into view, which results in the activation of the game’s Free Spins feature.

The Free Spins feature is triggered when you land anywhere from three to six of the Scatter symbols. And because the Scatter symbol occupies two spaces on the reels, you can still trigger the feature with just half of the symbol visible, as long as there are at least two more Scatter symbols beside it.

You will be awarded 5, 6, 7, or 8 free spins, depending on whether you land 3, 4, 5, or 6 Scatter symbols. After each free spin, two to six Wild symbols will appear on the reels. The first two Wild symbols will appear on random positions, but subsequent ones will appear nest to a cluster. If you win less than 10x your bet after all your free spins, you will get one more spin.

This slot also has a Sticky Respin feature, which is activated when you land two matching clusters with five to eight symbols. Those symbols will be locked in place, while you get a re-spin with the other symbols on the reels. You will get one more spin for every extra matching symbol you land.

You are also sure to enjoy the game’s Random Wilds feature, which is activated when you land at least two matching clusters with at least four symbols per cluster. Wild symbols will keep appearing on the reels until the clusters are joined, at which point you’ll get the payout.
