About Game

Eyecon Fae Legend Warrior Demo

Fae Legend Warrior reached the lobby in April 2017, and it opens like a game from a decade earlier. Two fae warriors, a winged helmet, a war hammer, and a heart-shaped potion turn on a purple 5×3 board held between marble columns. Behind the art is Eyecon’s oldest working slot engine. The return is 95.388%, which the studio markets as 95%, and those three decimals match its 2006 numbers exactly. Playtech had owned Eyecon for two months when this one shipped, and nothing in the rules reads like a new owner’s idea. The demo puts an old machine in new armour.

Features and Free Play

The Legend Key

The golden Legend key does two jobs. It stands in wherever a line needs it, the framed Warrior aside, and every line it completes pays double.

It also acts as a scatter and opens the free games. Land the key three times anywhere, and 15 free games follow, a fourth makes it 20, and a fifth makes it 25. The game trebles every line prize for as long as the round lasts, the round keeps the lines and wager that started it, and it can retrigger up to 15 times. Nothing accumulates while it runs. The tripling is set before the first free game and unchanged at the last.

The Framed Warrior

Two framed Warriors land on reels 2 and 3, one short of the three that open the Prize Pick and its picks of up to 100x.

The other scatter is the framed Warrior. She’s the blonde fae a second time, set in a gold square rather than a round ring, and she runs a separate feature. Three or more framed Warriors anywhere start the Prize Pick. Every Warrior in the triggering combination buys one pick, each pick can return up to 100x the whole bet, and the game adds the prizes together before play resumes. Five Warriors mean five picks.

Both special tiles count as scatters and neither has a line pay of its own, but they are not interchangeable, since the key substitutes and the Warrior never does. No minimum or table of values is listed for a pick, so the size of the round is a range rather than a figure, and 100x is the biggest number the feature carries.

The Shared Pay Table

None of those numbers is new. The pay table is the one Eyecon wrote for Fluffy Favourites in 2006 and has reused ever since, 200x the bet for five of the top symbol down to 0.08x for two of the cheapest, with up to 25 lines, a doubling substitute, free games at 15, 20, and 25 with line wins at triple, a 15-retrigger limit, and a pick round worth up to 100x a go. Piggy Payout uses the same pay table with a farmyard on top, though its free games only double. The art, symbol names, and which portrait heads the pay grid move between the skins, so a player coming from one of the studio’s animal titles meets familiar rules in different clothes.

How to Play

The Line Count Control

The pay grid is written per payline rather than per spin, so the number of lines you switch on decides what each figure on it is worth. The bet panel splits the two controls, a LINES stepper on one side and a bet-per-line stepper on the other, with MAX LINES and MAX BET beside them, and the help numbers 25 line diagrams to match. Turn lines off, and those values stay where they are while the total behind them falls, so the table below reads every row across a full 25 lines. Wins on separate lines are added, only the highest win on a selected line counts, and everything pays from the leftmost reel rightwards.

Game RTP

Spins start at a single cent on one line and top out at $2.50, with each of the 25 lines carrying $0.10. The RTP is 95.388%, which Eyecon lists as 95%. The studio rates the volatility high, which suits a pay table that saves its bigger values for the two portraits and the features.

Symbol Payouts

The game multiplies each line win by the wager per payline, so every figure in the help is a per-line value. Across a full 25 lines, the pay grid runs from 200x the bet for five blonde fae down to 0.08x for two of the cheapest tiles. The two portraits carry the top of the table, and none of the eight items under them pays more than 20x. No overall maximum appears anywhere in the game, which leaves that 200x row as the pay grid’s largest value, before the key doubles it or a free game trebles it.

Ultimate Slots Verdict

A fantasy repaint of Eyecon's 2006 engine, returning 95.388% and topped by the same 200x line the studio has relied on for years.

The painted fae portraits set it apart, and nothing underneath them tries to.

Hits What we like

  • The Legend key opens the free games and doubles any line it helps complete, so one symbol works twice
  • Line prizes run at triple for every free game, with no counter to watch and no condition to meet
  • A retrigger allowance of 15 is a long leash for a classic of this age
  • The Prize Pick awards a pick for every Warrior that triggered it, each worth up to 100x the bet
  • The return is stated to three decimals in the rules rather than rounded away
  • Lines are adjustable, so the pay grid can be played narrow as well as full

Misses What could be better

  • The pay table and the feature set are the 2006 Fluffy build with new art, so the studio's classics play alike
  • Outside the two fae portraits, nothing on the pay grid pays more than 20x for five
  • High volatility on a 95.38% return means long quiet stretches between the two features

Detailed Review

Slot Review

Eyecon builds most of its catalogue on three or four engines, and this is the oldest of them, the 25-line classic that has carried the studio since the toy box arrived in 2006. Fae Legend Warrior changes the cast and leaves the machine alone. Anyone who has played the studio’s other classics will recognise the trigger counts, the tripled free games, and the pick round before a feature ever lands.

What it does change is the register. The artwork is painted rather than drawn, all gold filigree, marble, and a wash of lilac, and the two fae portraits are the best thing on the reels. It reads as a fairytale for adults rather than a cartoon, which puts it a little apart from the studio’s other fantasy titles, and using the top symbol’s own face, framed, as the pick scatter is a neat piece of economy. The backdrop behind all of it is a pale sky between two spiral-carved columns, a frame that never moves, so whatever animation the game has belongs entirely to the reels.

The numbers are less generous than the art. High volatility on 95.388% means long stretches where the trinkets return a fraction of a bet and nothing else happens, and the two features are where anything worth having is kept. Two framed Warriors on the reels with no third is the shape of that experience, close enough to register as a near miss and worth nothing. Free play is the best way to learn how often the key arrives three at a time.

It was already old in 2017, and that is not automatically a criticism. The engine is legible, the free games run long, and the Prize Pick resolves in seconds. What it will not do is surprise anyone who has met the same rules under another name.

Frequently Asked Questions

95.388% is the exact value of the build the demo runs, and the slot rules screen carries it in full. The 95% figure is the same setting rounded for the game's listing. Both describe one return, and the demo is playing it.
It takes the place of any symbol but the framed Warrior, and it doubles any line win it helps complete. The key carries no line pay of its own, so it earns its keep within a win rather than as a symbol to count.
One for every framed Warrior in the combination that started it, so three Warriors give three picks and five give five. Each pick can be worth as much as 100x the bet, and the feature adds them together at the end.
