Only very few spinners would go for unruffled/relaxing slots, however. Most players prefer fast and bombastic games – quite the opposite of this Far East tranquil inertia. The musical score of the game likewise is composed and unobtrusive, agreeing with the general peaceful motion here. The design is traditional yet impressive, the symbols – attuned to the topic and excellently designed.
The Serenity slot machine comes with High Volatility, lofty theoretical RTP – 96.56% (in a long-distance, of course). The developer capped the maximum winning at 120 000 CAD (or 1600 times your stake in the Free Spins via max stake).

Personal testers’ opinion about Serenity slot
- We reckon this game is the counter-reaction of the rival release a year earlier: NetEnt’s Medium Volatility 9-liner – Lights slot from 2014, with 1000x the total bet max prospect. We do like the design of both games, but concerning potential, proven in reality – Microgaming’s slot is far behind. This is obvious by the remaining super popular in rank game of the Swedish competitor, while Serenity position is gradually slumping.
- Back to the topic of our review:
The 1600x total bet potential of the Serenity online slot is not a trifle. If only it were proven in real life (with real credits), the game could’ve become alluring to the regular gambling enthusiasts. The machine certainly has fine visuals and audio, but after playing 30-40 slots with Asian topics, be sure, you will start asking yourself, ‘which was this slot again’? - Moreover, the only spark of excitement in the base spins is the Lantern Bonus. Even if the Wilds and Scatters pay super generously for 5OAK: 500x and 400x the total bet, respectively, and the rest of the symbols pay between 33x and 5x the total bet for 5OAK on a payline, we cannot call this a player-friendly paytable. The gap between 3OAK and 5OAK amounts is lofty, so predominantly you will get only small to insignificant payoffs. Due to this provision, along with the high volatility and long cycle, the balance is not preserved most of the time. Despite the decent hit probability (over 35%) and the high RTP (96.56%) plus the marvellous prospect for handing large prizes, our team recorded a maximum win of only 40x total bets (!), but the average payout from both: the Lantern Bonus and the Free Spins was just 14x the total bet. Now, this is what we call super underperformance.
- Here one can expect a base game with constant delivering only scanty amounts between 0.13(!) and 3.33x the total bet. The ‘better’ payoffs will be about 10x-12x the total bet. The Pick and Click Bonus will almost always only reveal 3 lanterns and under 30x the total bet. While in the Free Spins round, only 2-3 spins will carry some value; the rest will be serenely asleep spins.
In conclusion, we give neutral advice for the sessions with real deposits, as the game tends to underperform and is no longer popular at the casino portals. But if you insist on playing here: you should stick to the minimum bets for the sake of lasting longer in this high variance Serenity. Despite the plenty high RTP, winning a large amount is mega difficult, so one possible game tactic here could be Hit and Run. The moment you enlarge your bankroll with 25-30%, withdrawal should be the accurate follow-up action. The slot is absolutely not fit for bonus money wagering.
