Idun's Garden Fusion Reels

Idun's Garden Fusion Reels Overview

Idun's Garden Fusion Reels is a Norse-myth slot from KA Gaming, released on 6 September 2023. It is built around Idun, the goddess who keeps the golden apples of youth, and it plays on five reels whose number of ways changes from spin to spin – up to 2,304 ways. SlotCatalog lists a 96% RTP (the game comes in several RTP versions), cascading wins, splitting symbols and free spins with a multiplier. Stakes run from 0.25 to 125.

Fusion Reels and Changing Ways

The name comes from the reels themselves. Symbol positions can be split or merged, so the grid is not fixed and the ways counter above the reels changes with every spin. In our screenshots it read 324, 576 and 720 ways, and the maximum is 2,304. More ways means more chances for a symbol to connect across the reels, so a spin with a high ways count is worth more on average than one with a low count, even at the same stake.

The Featured Symbol

Next to the ways counter sits a small box with a single symbol in it, and it changes with the spin. In our screenshots it showed the roses, the club and the spade. That symbol is the one that splits on the reels: on the 576-ways spin the clubs appeared two to a cell on several reels, and on a 324-ways spin with the spade in the box, two spades shared one position on the fifth reel. A split symbol counts as two, which is what pushes the ways count up – and when the featured symbol is also the one forming the win, the payout grows with it. The $230 cascade in our session came from exactly that: a column of doubled clubs.

The Paytable

At a $125 total bet the paytable shows the following values for five, four and three of a kind:

• Idun: $750 / $250 / $100 – 6x, 2x and 0.8x the bet
• Apple tree: $600 / $200 / $80
• Deer: $525 / $175 / $70
• Eagle: $450 / $150 / $60
• Rabbit: $375 / $125 / $50
• Basket of golden apples: $150 / $60 / $30
• Roses: $125 / $50 / $25
• Spade: $100 / $40 / $20
• Heart: $75 / $30 / $15
• Diamond and club: $50 / $25 or $20 / $10

These are per-way values, so a single five-of-a-kind can pay many times over when the symbol lands in several positions on each reel.

The Scatter

The golden tree-of-life medallion is the scatter, and it pays on its own: $6,250 for five (50x), $1,250 for four (10x) and $250 for three (2x). Three or more also start the free games.

Cascades

Winning symbols are removed and new ones drop into their place, so one paid spin can continue. The top bar keeps a running total – in one screenshot it showed “WINS $80.00” for the first step while the spin had already reached $230.00 in total, on a 576-ways grid with a column of clubs.

Free Games

Our trigger spin landed three scatters on a 324-ways grid and paid $390.00, followed by the message “You won 12 Free Games”. During the free games a multiplier track appears above the reels, showing x1 and x2 in our screenshot. The round built up to a HUGE WIN of $1,000.00 on a single 720-ways spin, and the total bonus win reached $1,289.47 – about 10.3x the $125 stake.

The balance confirms the result. It stood at $99,885.00 when the free games started and at $101,174.47 after them – a difference of exactly $1,289.47, the total shown for the bonus.

Graphics and Setting

The game takes place in a misty forest glade with tall trunks, pink blossoms and soft green light. Idun is drawn with golden hair and a crown of flowers, and the animals – deer, eagle and rabbit – are rendered in the same painterly style. The card suits are carved into wooden tiles, which keeps them clearly separate from the premium symbols.

Who It Is For

Idun's Garden Fusion Reels suits players who like ways slots with a bit of unpredictability: the changing grid means each spin starts from a different number of ways, cascades let wins continue, and the free games add a multiplier on top. All six casinos we checked carry it.
