Don’t know what that is? Imagine a Japanese cartoon. Now imagine it’s based on cute, adorable, troll like creatures living in tribal forest with magical crystals.
That’s as close as we can get. But that’s ok, we like themes that don’t quite fit into a perfect box. Certainly makes it visually more interesting as you open up a mobile slot that is bright, colourful, and has no Ace to 10 symbols anywhere.
Each symbol makes you believe in this enchanted land.
Following in the Yggdrasil simplicity tradition
Much like other Yggdrasil video slots, Chibeasties is not particularly complicated.
They like to keep things simple, concentrating on one big feature to give you big wins.
Here, you’ll be waiting for the free spins, and though you can trigger 40, you’re more likely to play 10. No multipliers, but one random symbol is picked to expand during the entirety of the bonus games.
Why you’ll love the expanding symbols
Yes you can get the wild to expand. But we found this wasn’t half as interesting as if you get one of the higher paying symbols.
Reason being, how often do you really see 5 wild symbols on 5 different reels?
Whilst getting a 4 or 5 symbols of any of the others is far more common, creating multiple wins across all 20 paylines.
Yes, technically the bigger wins would happen with expanded wilds. But on a more practical level, with the wilds you are likely to walk away with about 20 to 30 times your bet, whilst the bigger symbols will give you a bigger chance of getting 80 to 150 times your bet.
The Chibeasties slot is not as easy playing as you might think
The theme might be cute and cuddly, but this mobile video slot is more dangerous than it looks.
For one, the free spins don’t come easy, showing up every 100 to 200 spins or so, and with few big wins without it, other than the occasional lucky 5 of a kind wins.
So despite a decent betting range, we’d recommend you start small, and build up as you get a few good free spins round.
It’s not quite the frantic fun of Cyrus the Virus slot, but Chibeasties is a decent addition to the Yggdrasil slots portfolio.
