Flowers in South Africa: Double Symbols and Tripled Free Spins
Flowers is NetEnt's cartoon garden slot on five reels and three rows, with 30 bet lines. Its rule of note is the double symbol: a flower or a scatter can land as a pair in one position and count as two, so a winning line can hold anywhere from 3 to 10 symbols. Four or more scatters start free spins, where every line win is multiplied by 3 and wilds can land in stacks.

How Flowers works
The game's help describes Flowers as a 5-reel, 3-row video slot featuring Double symbols, Wild substitutions, and Free Spins with Stacked Wild symbols and a Free Spins Multiplier of x3. NetEnt's game page lists 30 play lines and a bet range of €0.30 to €75.00 a spin.
The look is a cartoon garden. NetEnt's key art shows the multicoloured Flowers logo on a green leaf, a grinning sunflower, a blue bellflower with half-closed eyes and a big green plant with a mouth full of teeth. Evolution's games site sets the scene in a backyard, with a wooden-framed board of flowers, card symbols and the sun.
Bet line wins pay from the leftmost reel to the right, without gaps. What sets Flowers apart is how many symbols one position can count for.
Single and double symbols
By the game's help, every symbol can appear as a single symbol, while only the scatter and the flower symbols can also appear as a double. A double symbol shows a pair of the same symbol in one position and counts as two single symbols. That is why a winning line can be anything from 3 to 10 symbols long on a game with only five reels.
NetEnt's page words the rule in its own terms: all medium win symbols appear as single or double symbols, and wins can occur with 3 to 10 matching symbols on a single bet line. The help names the flower symbols and the scatter; NetEnt's page says medium win symbols and does not list which symbols those are. Both put the range at 3 to 10.
The wild has one limit worth knowing. It substitutes for all symbols except the single and double scatters, and when it stands in for a double symbol it pays the value of a single one. By our reading, a wild in a line of double flowers adds one symbol to the count, not two.
How doubles change the symbol count on a line
Our arithmetic from the help's rule, for one flower symbol landing from the leftmost reel, with no wilds. The paytable values are not on any official page we could read, so this shows only how many symbols the win counts, not what it pays.
| The flower on reels 1, 2, 3... | Symbols the win counts (our sum) |
|---|---|
| Single, single, single | 3, the help's lowest count |
| Double, single, single | 4 |
| Single on all five reels | 5 |
| Double, double, double | 6 |
| Double on reels 1 to 4, single on reel 5 | 9 |
| Double on all five reels | 10, the help's top count |
Free spins, step by step 🎁
From the Free Spins chapter of the game's help.
-
Four or more scatters
Four or more scatter symbols anywhere on the reels start free spins. A double scatter counts as two single scatters, and double scatters appear only on reels 2, 3 and 4. -
The multiplier and the counter start
At the beginning of free spins the x3 multiplier and the free spins counter are switched on. The multiplier triples every bet line win in every spin until the round ends. -
Wilds can come in stacks
During free spins, wild symbols can appear in vertical stacks of 2 or 3 symbols, which NetEnt's page says happens at random. -
More scatters, more spins
Four or more scatters during free spins award their number of additional free spins, added to the counter. -
The round ends
Free spins are played at the bet of the spin that started them. When the counter reaches 0, the total is added to that spin's wins.
How many free spins the scatters give
The help says the number of free spins depends on how many scatters land, set out in a table that also has a bet multiplier column for each scatter count. The numbers of that table are filled in by the game itself, and no official page we could read prints them. This page leaves them out rather than guess; the help screen of the game at your casino shows them.
One thing follows from the rule itself, by our reading: since double scatters sit only on reels 2, 3 and 4, two double scatters and no single ones already make the four needed to start the round.

Reading the 45% figure and the two labels
NetEnt's facts panel puts the hit frequency of Flowers at 45.00%. Read as the share of spins that pay something, that is a little under one paying spin in two, by our arithmetic. The figure says nothing about how large those wins are.
On volatility the studio's two sites part ways: NetEnt's badge reads MEDIUM, and Evolution's games site writes High. This page shows both and keeps Medium, NetEnt's own label, in its facts. Whichever you go by, decide your stake before the session starts and keep it there after a loss: no staking pattern beats the house edge.
Neither official page gives a maximum win figure for Flowers, so this page names none.
Flowers RTP and volatility 📊
NetEnt gives Flowers's return to player as 96.32%.
Volatility is medium: small wins mixed with occasional bigger ones.

Pros, cons and verdict ⚖️
- Double flowers can make a line of up to 10 symbols
- Every line win is tripled in free spins
- Stacked wilds of 2 or 3 in free spins
- A 45% hit frequency, as NetEnt states it
- Free spins need four scatters, not three
- A wild over a double symbol counts as a single one
- No official page we read prints the free spins table
- The two official sites give different volatility labels and years
Flowers takes a plain five-reel layout and gets more out of it by letting a flower count twice in one position. The base game pays often by NetEnt's figure, and the free spins add stacked wilds and a fixed x3 on every line win. It suits a player who likes a light theme and a rule that is simple to follow once the double symbols click.
