Flowers (NetEnt): Overview

At times, the simplest approach works best—especially when the game’s name instantly tells you what to expect. Flowers by NetEnt is exactly that, delivering reels packed with…yes, flowers. Some look cheerful, some look irritated, and one seems downright nasty—but they’re all still flowers in the end. Luckily, NetEnt rarely settles for plain base spins, so you can look forward to some standout features while you play.

To start, here’s how the game is set up. It uses 5 reels paired with 3 rows. That’s the classic video slot format, so it should feel familiar right away. On top of that, Flowers comes with 30 paylines, all fixed, meaning you can’t adjust how many are active. What you can change is your wager. First, select a coin value from 0.01 to 0.50. After that, set the bet level anywhere from 1 to 5. As a result, when playing Flowers, you can stake anywhere from 30 cents and upwards to the maximum of 75€ per spin.

Even if it may seem a little old-school today, Flowers—like many classic titles released during NetEnt’s peak era—was pushing boundaries visually at the time. The look is straightforward but polished, with green grass framing the reels and a bright blue sky in the background. On the reels, the first symbols you’ll notice are the playing card icons from J up to A. After that come the premium flower symbols, starting with the bluebell and the lily, followed by the Venus fly trap and the sunflower. The angry rose is the top-paying regular symbol, and it can award up to 66 times your stake.

What really elevates Flowers beyond a standard slot, though, is its set of special features—something NetEnt consistently delivers well. There are a couple of additions here designed to make the gameplay feel far more rewarding.

Flowers (NetEnt): Features

One of the first things you’ll likely spot in Flowers is that certain symbols show up in double form. For example, there’s a single sunflower symbol as well as one displaying two sunflowers. This applies to every flower symbol—they can all appear as doubles on the reels. Double symbols count as two regular symbols, which means you can create winning combinations using one single symbol together with a matching double symbol.

Building on that, you’ll also see a Wild Symbol appearing on the reels. It substitutes for all standard symbols. Just note that it doesn’t replace double symbols—only single ones. To make it more impactful, it can also land in stacked form across all five reels.

Another key feature to watch for is the Free Spins round. This is triggered by a specific icon: the smiling cloud. These can also appear as both single and double symbols, which increases your chances of activating the bonus. You’ll need four or more to land in view for the free spins to start. You can win up to 30 free spins from seeing up to 8 free spins symbols (including doubles). During the round, all wins are multiplied by 3x, but if three or more free spins symbols appear while you’re in the feature, the bet amount is multiplied by a bet multiplier of up to 10x.

Flowers (NetEnt): Verdict

If you’d asked us in advance how exciting a slot focused on plant life could be, we probably wouldn’t have had such an enthusiastic answer. Thankfully, Flowers takes what could have been a forgettable theme and makes it far more engaging. With attractive visuals and enjoyable core gameplay, this NetEnt title gets off to a strong start.

Still, it’s the extra mechanics that really push it into higher territory. The double symbols, the free spins round with bet multipliers, and the wild symbol work together to create a genuinely satisfying experience on the reels. In terms of potential, the game can deliver top rewards of 15,000 times your stake, which is certainly worth noting. Overall, Flowers stands out as one of the strongest entries in the NetEnt catalogue, and it’s a game that has continued to draw players back year after year.
