Mythical Guardians: A new slot with free spins and fun features
A soft pastel color scheme, mythical creatures serving as symbols, and a clean visual approach complete developer PG Soft’s latest high-volatility slot Mythical Guardians, a game driven by free spins and some fun features.
PG Soft is known for its top-tier mobile slots that perform just as well when played on desktop. Recently, the developer has pushed further into more high-production releases, and Mythical Guardians is another example of that increase in production quality.
The provider has done an excellent job with the slot color palette where the symbols pop against a crystal teal backdrop, but most players will stop noticing the visuals and refocus on the game’s winning potential once they see the eye-watering 15,000x maximum win attached to the slot.
Mythical Guardians gameplay and features
Mythical Guardians is a high-volatility slot from PG Soft played on a 5-reel, 4-row grid with 1,024 ways to win. Wins are paid through cascading reels, meaning winning symbols disappear and are replaced by new ones, allowing multiple payouts from a single spin. The base game centers on framed guardian symbols rather than frequent small hits, with clear symbols serving as low-value fillers that mainly trigger cascades.

The slot’s real appeal lies in how framed symbols upgrade and expand. When a framed guardian symbol forms part of a winning combination, it upgrades and increases in size, occupying more reel positions and improving its payout potential. These upgrades can chain across cascades and carry into a free spins round, which is where the game’s volatility really peaks.
The Framed Guardian mechanics include the following features:
- Base framed symbols start at standard size and payout
- Upgraded frames expand to cover more reel positions after wins
- Fully expanded frames can dominate the grid, enabling large multi-way connections
In Mythical Guardians, everything really comes down to reaching the slot’s free spins. They’re triggered by scatter symbols and, importantly, they keep any framed symbol progress. With a 96% RTP and no gimmicky modifiers to bail you out, this is the kind of slot where players may need to work their way through slower spins while waiting for a big free spins run to do the real damage for them and open up the slot’s winning potential.
How to play the Mythical Guardians slot
Mythical Guardians can be played on either phone or desktop via top betting platform Stake.
- Go to Mythical Guardians’ official Stake page and wait for the game to load
- Set your bet using the + / – buttons, then press Spin to start the reels.
- Use the play icon in the bottom-right corner to trigger autospin
- Use the flashlight icon for turbo spins
- Click on Feature Buy in the middle of the screen to trigger the free spins bonus at a cost of 100x your current bet
Mythical Guardians may not be a slot that pays the most often, and that’s clear from the slot’s high volatility levels. Initial spins may be used just to set things up rather than to win big outright. But it only takes one good bonus round to change an entire session and flip it on its head.
If you enjoy valuable buildups and don’t mind waiting patiently for a big win, Mythical Guardians is a slot that can absolutely deliver given time to build up to a payout.
