Play Artifacts

Artifacts is Peter and Sons' latest fantasy release, set around a tavern board game where a king and a wizard sit across the table mid duel. The grid runs on cascading wins, reel multipliers, and a row of feature boxes that fire random boosts. Anyone who already follows the studio across online slots will spot the painted art straight away. 

Artifacts puts the reels in a medieval tavern, with a king, wizard, and other fantasy figures crowded around a table game. Peter & Sons gives the online casino a hand-drawn feel, with chunky character shapes, firm outlines, and colours that stay bold without making the grid hard to read. Warm wood tones, gold trim, blue accents, and glowing frames help the main symbols stand out. Small animations support the cascade action, multiplier changes, and Feature Box reveals. The design follows fantasy slot conventions, with a stronger focus on table play than castles or battle scenes. 

Wilds replace every standard symbol except scatters, while three or more scatters open the bonus spins round. 

Cascading Reels 

Wins clear from the grid and new symbols tumble in to take their place. The cascade is the foundation the multiplier system relies on, which is why building long chains is the actual point of base play. 

Reel Multipliers 

Three reel multipliers sit above the middle reels and begin at 1x. Each multiplier applies to wins that use its reel, and cascade chains can raise the values during a round.  

Feature Boxes 

Five boxes sit below the reels and fire random boosts during play. The four flavours either bump a single reel's multiplier or every reel at once, with normal and doubled versions of each. 

Golden Symbols 

A round can begin with some paying symbols outlined in gold. Once a Golden Symbol joins a winning combination, it sticks as a Wild on the next cascade, a small touch that helps chains keep going. 

Bonus Spins 

Three or more scatters trigger the bonus spins round at six spins to start. Reel multipliers stop resetting between drops inside the round, which is where the math actually opens up and chains have room to build.

Artifacts uses a 5 by 3 grid with 243 ways to win, so matching icons on adjacent positions starting from the leftmost reel form a payout, with no fixed paylines involved. Cascades handle the rest, and winners disappear before fresh icons fall into place, with the chain running until a drop lands without a hit. The clever bit lives off the grid. Each reel carries a multiplier on top that boosts any win involving it, and the feature boxes underneath hand out random bumps to keep the system moving. 

• Rich Wilde and the Tome of Madness uses cluster pays with cascades and a fantasy relic theme. 
• Tomb of Gold pairs cascading wins with rising multipliers across its bonus round. 
• Ra's Reckoning runs cluster cascades with persistent frame multipliers during bonus spins. 

Our take is that Artifacts is a solid Peter and Sons release that knows exactly what it is. Base spins can feel quiet, since multipliers reset on every paid round and chains have to do the heavy lifting alone. The bonus is where the design clicks, with persistent multipliers giving cascades real room to compound. The look is unmistakable studio work: warm, painted, slightly cheeky around the edges. Fans of fantasy themes and patient gameplay should find plenty here, especially anyone who likes watching a system pay off across longer sessions.
