Visual Style
Indian Dreaming places its reels in a desert canyon at sunset, inside a frame of logs.
The reels carry portraits of a chief, a young warrior and a maiden, plus a bison head, a tomahawk and a totem pole. The Wild is a dreamcatcher, and the A, K, Q and J are carved from lashed logs.
RTP & Volatility
The 96.5% RTP applies to the online release, and Aristocrat configures cabinet versions of its titles to a different return. Volatility is Medium. The 9,000x max win works out to A$2,250 at the A$0.25 minimum bet and A$9,000 at A$1 total bet. The x5 Wild multiplier runs only in free games that need 3+ Totems, so pick a stake with room for the base spins between triggers.
243 Ways to Win
Wins count left to right on adjacent reels, starting from reel 1. A symbol's position on each reel does not matter, and there are no fixed lines. Each way pays only its highest combination, and wins from different ways are added together.
Every combination needs at least one non-Wild symbol. Total bet equals coin value × bet level × 25, and wins are multiplied by the bet level. A coin value of A$0.50 at bet level 1 gives a total bet of A$12.50.
The ways bet can be lowered to 81, 27, 9 or 3 ways, with 243 as the default and the maximum. A reduced ways bet drops some positions out of the ways count. Totems landing there still count toward the 3 needed for free games.
Dreamcatcher Wild & Totem Scatter
The Dreamcatcher Wild substitutes for all other symbols, the Totem scatter included. Five Wilds on screen pay 100x total bet, and that payout is settled as a Totem scatter win. During free games, each Wild in a winning combination carries a x5 multiplier.
The Totem scatter pays anywhere on the reels: 3 = 2x, 4 = 15x and 5 = 100x total bet. Scatter wins are added to ways wins. Three Totems anywhere open 12 free games, even outside your chosen ways.
Indian Dreaming Free Games
In Indian Dreaming, 3 or more Totem scatters in any position award 12 free games on a separate background. The round keeps the ways and bet level of the triggering spin, and free games can be retriggered during the feature.
Every Wild that forms part of a winning combination multiplies that win x5. In free games, a Dreamcatcher Wild turns an A$100 Chief win at A$1 total bet into A$500.
Progressive Jackpot
The progressive jackpot can land at the end of any spin. It triggers at random and cannot be won with a symbol combination.
A jackpot win is added to every other win from that spin. The ticker above the reels cycles through the jackpot levels, with Minor and Grand visible in the game.
Symbols and Paytable
Indian Dreaming slot payouts use an A$1 total bet and scale in proportion to your stake. Every symbol except the Totem pays left to right on adjacent reels.
| Symbol | 5 of a kind | 4 of a kind | 3 of a kind |
|---|---|---|---|
 | Substitutes for all symbols including the Totem; 5 Wilds pay A$100 as a Totem scatter win; x5 on wins it is part of during free games | ||
