Quick verdict: Shaman's Dream is one of Eyecon's longest-standing titles, built around a Native American theme with a tripling dreamcatcher free spins round that can retrigger up to 15 times. With a 95% RTP, Medium volatility, and a max win as high as 28,500x stake once retriggers stack up, it's a classic-style slot with more depth in its bonus round than its age might suggest.
The Story
Eyecon released Shaman's Dream in June 2016, framing the game around Native American shamans — in the studio's own words, "the guardians of magic and wisdom." The reels are set against a warm desert sunset, with a wolf howling at the moon as one of its most recognisable symbols.
Theme, Gameplay & Symbols
The game runs on a 5-reel, 3-row grid with 25 paylines. Symbols draw directly on the Native American theme: a white buffalo, a teepee, an eagle feather charm, crossed tomahawks, a Native American chief, and a wolf howling at the moon, alongside the white wolf Wild and dreamcatcher scatter that drive the bonus features.
Presentation & Sound
Shaman's Dream keeps a warm, atmospheric desert-sunset presentation with a rustic wooden reel frame, in keeping with Eyecon's classic house style. It's a straightforward, symbol-forward look that lets the theme's iconography do the visual work rather than leaning on heavy animation.
How to Play Shaman's Dream
- Set your stake and adjust your paylines using the in-game controls.

- The white wolf Wild substitutes for other symbols and doubles the win of any line it completes.
- Landing 3 or more dreamcatcher scatters triggers 15 Free Games, with all wins during the round tripled.
