Print Studios is a Relax Gaming partner and a relatively new player in the iGaming industry who were founded in 2020. Despite the youth of the studio itself, the team behind Print Studios are a team of professional players with years of experience behind them.

Crystal Golem Theme
Looking into what the theme could be for Crystal Golem you cant help but wonder if the title gives off a clue, a Golem is a creature made up of lifeless substances such as dust or earth and is brought to life by a human creator. Golems are said to be protectors, helpers and rescuers to those who create them.
As we study the backdrop in Crystal Golem you are immediately drawn to the glistening of crystals protruding from their bedrock, this along with the illuminous colours makes for a captivating backdrop.
The music that can be heard throughout Crystal Golem is subtle yet mysterious, however the sound effects give off an extra-terrestrial feel to them.
Given the theme, we cant wait to see what Crystal Golem has in store for us!
Crystal Golem Betting and Symbols
Crystal Golem offers a selection of Betting options to its players. For those who prefer a lower stake the minimum bet available is £0.20 per spin, but for those who prefer a higher stake the maximum bet available is £100 per spin. There is however a variety of betting options in between these two.
The highest paying regular symbol in Crystal Golem is the Stone Snake, followed by the Crystal Bat, the Fire Mushroom, the Gold Mushroom and the Water Mushroom.
Lower paying symbols are as standard, Ace, King, Queen and Jack.
Wild Golem symbols substitute for all symbols except Scatter symbols.
Crystal Golem Base Game and Features
Crystal Golem is a 5 reel slot with 20 fixed paylines. To form a win you will need to connect 3 or more of the same symbols from left to right, starting from the left-most reel. Once a win is formed those symbols will then disapear and new symbols will cascade in their place.
Situated between the reels you will notice ten crystals, these are part of the SuperSpinners Feature.
SuperSpinners Feature
The SuperSpinners feature serves to exponentially improve the winning potential in the Base Game via multipliers.
On each spin, these crystals may display numbers. Should a winning combination pass through this number, then your win will be multiplied by the total number shown on the crystal.
If a win happens to pass through more than one crystal with an active multiplier, then the win will multiply in succession, starting with the first multiplier on that line.
Wins may occur and pass through crystals without a win multiplier. If this happens, then winning combinations will disappear and the previously empty crystal will then display a random multiplier up to x10 for any subsequent hits that may occur through that line.
This feature seems like something very unique, and the cool animations add to the experience when you see your win start off small, and multiply as it passes through multiplier crystals on a line.
Crystal Golem Free Spins
Landing 3, 4 or 5 Scatter symbols awards 8, 12 or 16 Free Spins respectively.
Free Spins introduces charged crystals, which serves to evolve the Wild Golems on the reel.
To Evolve the Golem, you’ll need to land them on a space that is touching a charged crystal. Evolving the Golem once turns them into Stage 2 Golems, which allows them to remain on the reel once after being included in a win.
Upgrading these again turns them into Stage 3 Golems, which allows them to persist on the reels for 2 wins before disappearing.
The aim of the game is to evolve as many golems as you can so that they may be present to make connections with SuperSpinners with multipliers. The more upgrades you have, the more chance you’ll get at making bigger connections with multipliers
Free Spins may also be retriggered. Upgrading every reel at least once awards +4 spins, and upgarding each reel twice will also award +4 Spins.
Once Free Spins are complete, normal gameplay will resume.

Crystal Golem Our Verdict
From what we’ve seen from Print Studios so far, we think they’re a studio to watch out for.
New Studios too often fall back on the successes of those that came before them by making slots with tried and true features, and while you could argue that Book of Destiny did just that, they did it in a way that nobody else has before. Cyrstal Golem shows even more innovation with its brilliant SuperSpinners mechanic.
There’s something insanely satisfying about watching your win pass through multipliers and grow as a result, especially if there’s more than one multiplier to hit. This satisfaction can turn into pure excitement should you hit with big multipliers. Despite how new this SuperSpinners feature is, we’re already a big fan.
Statistically, Crystal Golem looks absolutely solid with a 96.50% and a maximum win capability of 20,758x. Early showings from Print Studios really does look promising, and we can’t wait to see how they utilise the SuperSpinners feature in their upcoming title Royal Potato!
