Wild Warrior Slot
Looking for a good ancient oriental themed slot isn’t too difficult with so many of them just waiting to be played. If you haven’t come across this title before, Wild Warrior by Spin Games is one of the more recent games to take players to a time in history where one man, Genghis Khan, was both feared and revered by his own people. Travelling to Mongolia, you can become a warrior and battle the reels playing to take all. It has a varied betting range over 40 adjustable paylines.
The control panel has everything needed to tailor the bet with a button to fix the value of the coins, pick the number of lines to activate, and place the wager on each of those win lines. The max bet is at a high limit of 800 coins but on the other side of the scale, the low limit bets start at just 0.40. Although that is only playing just 1 line which might have you spinning for a while waiting for a win to happen.
Five Reels of Fun
The reel format for this online slot has 5 reels with 4 rows filled with all the symbols needed to achieve solid payouts. There are 6 playing card icons that provide the lower end of the payout scale and are designed in a font with an oriental feel, each having a different colour. The next set of 6 symbols is related to warrior life. There are a set of wrist cuffs, boots, tent, swords, a bow and arrows, and a Mongolian horse. These all have good values and payouts are made according to the pay table.
There are two additional special symbols, which are the wild and scatter symbols. The wild is the warrior and he is strong and powerful. He will aid the player to make great wins by replacing some of the symbols to complete matches along an active payline. To help him do this when appearing, the symbol expands to fill the whole of the reel giving more chances to win. Great news for gamblers, and in addition to this, he also has high paying values of his own.
Shields of Fire
The scatter is an ornate shield design that only appears on reels 1, 3 and 5 during a single spin. When 2 appear while the spin is still playing, it will cause reel 5 to speed up in anticipation of the 3rd one possibly dropping lucky. If it does, the shield symbols will be on fire as alarm bells ring to signal a great bonus feature has just been triggered.
Before this begins, players are presented with 4 shields for a mini ‘pick and win’ to determine which multiplier will feature for the free spins round. This can be 2x or 4x. Whichever is revealed will remain during the round. There is a new set of reels for the feature with stacked symbols, and the wild with its expanding characteristics still delivers throughout. There are 10 free spins awarded and should 3 shields drop again across the reels, 10 more additional spins will be added.
Auspicious Reels
Another ancient oriental game to try is Choy Sun Doa by Aristocrat. It was one of the early online slots from the developer, but despite its age, it still has a lot to offer by way of prizes and amusements. Choy Sun Doa is the god of wealth and the symbols he uses are more along the traditional Chinese good luck iconography. There are golden dragons, coins, carp, red envelopes, a ring, and a sycee as a symbol of prosperity playing as the scatter to trigger the game feature for up to 20 free spins.
All of the symbols feature on 5 reels with 3 rows, and up to 243 ways to win. Instead of bets per line, it has bets per reel with each reel having a cost and ways to win. For example 1 reel costs 1 and 3 ways to win, and 5 reels cost 25 with 243 ways to win. This puts the betting range from 0.01 to 62.50 per spin. Players need to beware as it does have an RTP of 94.51 to 94.60% which puts it below average, but there are some sizable rewards to be gained. Those that feel lucky can take a chance to gamble extra on a win or lose game.
