International Game Technology (IGT) may be up for sale, but that hasn’t stopped the popular pokie developer from releasing new games. In Bloom is one of the IGT’s latest online pokie releases, and it features some exciting and unique bonus features for players to enjoy. Firstly, the design of In Bloom is very interesting, as it is quite uncommon to see online pokies with graphics that feature a hand-painted style.
3D graphics tend to be the going trend, but it is a welcome change to see an online pokie with lovely watercolour graphics. All of the high-paying symbols are beautiful flowers: poppies, roses, water lilies and calla lilies. Each one offers up a generous prize and they can form 15-of-a-kind wins. Whenever the flower symbols are part of a winning combination, they can bloom to reveal more flowers.
This is the Symbol Burst feature, which can trigger 6-of-a-kind to 15-of-a-kind wins. To put it in perspective, the payout for 5-of-a-kind poppies is 40 credits. When the Symbol Burst is triggered, the player can have a 10-of-a-kind win worth 150 credits and even a 15-of-a-kind win worth 1000 credits! The Symbol Burst feature is something that we haven’t really seen in online pokies before.
Double and triple symbols have been featured in games like Cats and Flowers, but the surprise aspect of Symbol Burst is quite new. There is also a bonus round which is triggered by the butterfly symbol. When this symbol appears 2 or 3 times on the reels, then the player earns free spins.
The Poppy Garden bonus offers 5 free spins, the Rose Garden bonus offers 8 free spins, the Calla Lilly Garden bonus offers 10 free spins and the Water Lilly Garden offers 12 free spins. During the bonus game, only one type of flower symbol will appear on the reels. For example, if you pick the Poppy Garden, only poppies and J – A symbols will appear, offering you better chances of hitting winning prizes.
You can play the new In Bloom online pokie at any IGT-powered online casino.
