Solar Eclipse by Paperclip Gaming sets a five-by-five, 15-line slot beneath a lunar fantasy of two moon princesses and an eclipse. Matching symbols pay from left to right, while expanding Wilds can turn an entire reel into a more valuable part of a result.
Quick take: Two distinct free-spin modes put either expanding Wilds or sticky Wilds at the center of the eclipse.
Theme and Gameplay
The moon-princess setting gives the game a clear visual idea to follow as symbols land across the five rows. On ordinary spins, watch for an expanding symbol: it can fill its reel with Wilds, changing several positions at once. Those Wilds can carry multipliers, so their placement matters alongside the matching symbols on the 15 fixed paylines.
Slot Features
Three FS symbols award 10 Solar Bonus free spins, where VS symbols have an increased chance to expand into full-reel Wilds. Four FS symbols award 10 Eclipse Bonus free spins, where Wilds stay in place until the feature ends. The modes offer different kinds of momentum: Solar raises the chance of an expansion, while Eclipse can preserve Wild positions from spin to spin. Bonus purchase options are also listed, including Solar Bonus and Eclipse Bonus.
Feature focus: When a reel expands, check how its Wild positions connect with matching symbols along the fixed lines; the Wilds can also carry a multiplier from 2x to 1,000x.
RTP and Win Potential
Solar Eclipse lists 96% RTP, high volatility and a 10,000x maximum win. The multiplier range applies to expanding Wild reels; the top win is a ceiling, not a typical result. High volatility points to uneven outcomes between stronger hits.
My Thoughts On This Slot
The two bonus modes give the same setting different kinds of anticipation. Solar is about whether an expansion appears; Eclipse is about whether a useful Wild stays put. That distinction makes the four-symbol trigger feel meaningfully different from the three-symbol route, even though both begin with ten spins.
The five-row layout gives expansions room to affect several line combinations, but it also asks for a little more scanning than a compact three-row slot. High volatility may be a drawback for anyone who prefers steadier, frequent returns. Solar Eclipse should appeal to players who enjoy watching a single expanding reel reshape the board and want free spins with distinct purposes.
Final Take: A lunar slot with two clearly different Wild-focused bonus routes and a sizeable multiplier range.
