Yggdrasil Gaming is particularly flexible when it comes to the themes and concepts of the games they've produced, and all it takes is a quick glance at their portfolio as a whole to prove that. However, they have also shown some flexibility when it comes to formats with their Power Plant video slots. This game does not use a typical layout, but they don't just do this for show. Instead, this power plant-themed slot ties the layout of the slot into the features and gameplay in a very strong way.

A Different Slot Format

As you can tell when you first look at this game, there are a lot more symbols at play than normal. With five reels and eight rows, you'll see 40 symbols at a time on the screen. When you play each spin, you'll get 82 ways to win. However, betting is only based on multiples of 50 times your coin size, which makes it much easier to stick to even bet sizes.

The smallest coin size in this game is $0.005, and the largest is $5.00. This runs the overall bet size from $0.25 to $250 per spin. You'll clearly be able to play at basically any level that feels comfortable for you, no matter if you're looking for high stakes action or if you're a penny player. It's also worth nothing that this is the only game we can ever remember in the industry using a coin denomination worth less than $0.01, so that's interesting.

Stacked Wild Symbols

The golden W symbol is the wild in this game, and you can find it on each of the reels. What makes this wild so much more valuable than typical wilds is that it always shows up stacked, and it is also the key to the bonus feature. It's by far the most important symbol in this game, and it's the one that you'll really want to watch out for when you're playing.

Free Respin Bonus Feature

The main bonus feature that drives this game is a respin feature. You activate this feature by getting a full reel of the golden wild W symbol. You'll be taken to a second screen where special features for your respin are determined. These can be extra added symbols for better wins, a superstacked symbol, nudges to reels to boost your payouts or an extra wild symbol (chosen randomly from the normal symbols in the game).

You will get two or three of these extras for your respin, chosen at random, and then you're taken back to the regular game to play out your respin with better chances to win big. On top of all of this, the reel that was wild to trigger the feature stays wild during the respin as well.

Regular Symbol Payouts

Players will be able to tell from the payouts of this game that it's all about a high hit-rate experience and a low volatility. There are just six regular symbols (seven including the wild), and the top payout is 200x for five of the yellow, radioactive warning symbol. A 150x payout is yours for five of the red fire symbol. You can also get 100x for five of the purple lightning symbol or 70x for five of the blue swirl. The cyan water symbol and green leaf symbol will each give you 60x or 50x, respectively, when you line up five of a kind.

Win Anticipation Indicators

A really cool gameplay feature here, and something that helps a lot with the fact that there are an overwhelming number of paylines, is an indicator that shows up after the first two reels have stopped. This indicator will show any potential wins, depending on the outcome of the third reel stopping. Your focus gets drawn to the available winning combinations, and that makes it really easy to stay drawn into the action. This is a feature that we see in different ways in different slots, but the way it's used here is a big addition to the gameplay experience.

Our Thoughts

Power Plant is a great example of a game with a different format than usual that uses that format in a way that advances the gameplay. There is only one bonus feature in this slot, but that's completely fine with the way it's set up because of how it drives the player's experience with the wilds. Yggdrasil Gaming has tied together the format and the gameplay with solid graphics and a value-packed feature to give players a great game that we recommend. If you're into games with a low volatility and a high hit-rate, then this could very easily become one of your favorites.
