The Sirens were mystic creatures in Greek mythology that lured sailors and caused them to crash their ships against rocky shores. They play a prominent role in Homer’s Odyssey when they unsuccessfully try their charm on Ulysses. The slot machine titled Sirens from the software provider Cryptologic is based on this theme. In Sirens Ulysses is the wild symbol and his ship is the scatter symbol. The other symbols are from the Greek culture including the harp that Sirens used to attract sailors. The free spins feature is triggered when the orange, pink and green sirens appear simultaneously anywhere on reels 2, 3 and 4 respectively. 15 free spins are awarded with doubled payouts.

Goblins are the guardians of the treasure and therefore they have to be a bit mean. The Goblin’s Treasure online slot game from the portfolio of Realtime Gaming features ogre, troll, dragon and goblins. The goblins and the treasure chest are wild symbols. The goblins symbol appears only on reel 1 and the treasure chest symbol appears only on reel 5. The goblins symbol is an unusual one. From 1 to 5 goblins may appear in the symbol and any ensuing payouts are multiplied by the number of goblins. If the goblins and the treasure chest symbol appear simultaneously then 15 free spins are awarded. Again, the number of goblins is the free spins multiplier.

Zombies are perhaps the most pathetic of mystic creatures. Microgaming has given a twist to the popular novel Alice in Wonderland by creating a slot game with its characters as zombies. The slot machine is titled Alaxe in Zombieland. Those familiar with the story will recognize Alice as Alaxe, the Cheshire Cat, the Mad Hatter and the Dormouse. The high value card icons are also crafted eerily. The zombie theme is carried into the win animations. The game features are triggered by symbols central to the story. The White Rabbit’s pocket watch awards the free spins with the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party theme. The key that Alaxe uses to enter Zombieland awards the Red Queen’s Adventure feature, which is a bonus game on the second screen.
