Ancient Stones — RTP, volatility and max win

Ancient Stones from Bigpot Gaming takes you into a lost culture carved in stone: totems, scarabs, elephants, crowns and gems share the reels with demonic faces. The scatter symbols start multiplied free spins that can be extended, and the bonus can also be bought outright.

The palette is black, brown and white: carved stones, totem poles and demon faces alongside card suits. Totems and demon faces fill a 5×3 layout paying on 10 paylines. The stake per spin goes from €0.20 to €200. Ancient Stones was released on June 7, 2022.

As Ancient Stones runs at medium volatility with a fairly low biggest win, it is worth checking it against inferno slots by volatility.

Those 10 paylines cross all five reels and three rows of the frame. A line pays when matching symbols start at the leftmost reel and run on without a gap, with the wild filling in missing stones. Alongside the card suits, totems, scarabs, elephants and demon faces make up the line symbols. Scatters ignore the line pattern; their job is to open the bonus round.

Free spins with multiplier: enough scatter symbols trigger the free spins, and a multiplier runs through the round to raise the wins.

Extra free spins: further scatters during the round add more spins, so the multiplier stays active for longer.

Bonus buy: instead of waiting for scatters, you can start the free spins straight away for a fixed price.

Since Ancient Stones lets you buy its free spins directly, compare it with other inferno slots with bonus buy.

Because further scatters extend the bonus round in Ancient Stones, you will find similar rounds among other inferno slots with free spins.
