Haggling in the Market
This slot machine has 21 paylines and you can choose to play 1, 5, 9, 15 or 21 of them depending on how much you want to gamble each spin. Change your bet by clicking on the ‘gamble bet’ button at the bottom of the screen to choose from playing €1 to €100 per line, giving a maximum total bet per spin of €2100. This wide betting range means most players will be able to play the game, however the lowest rollers might find the minimum bet a little high for their bankroll.
It is also possible to play your spins automatically by selecting the ‘auto start’ button for hands-free play. This plays your spins automatically until you press the button again to stop them. You can also select ‘max bet’ to gamble the maximum amount without having to go through the coin sizes.
Bazar features great graphics depicting a series of market produce, market traders and customers. There are many symbols to enjoy here, including tomatoes, legs of lamb, gold watches, old boots, an angry customer, bottles of alcohol and a set of measuring scales.
The music in the background is dramatic and Russian in style, while the symbols all have a fun animation and sound effects to accompany them when they appear in a winning payline.

Bizarre Fun in the Russian Bazaar
Bazar is an incredibly quirky game with a strong theme and excellent cartoon graphics. The market place is brought into players’ living rooms, with the bustling sound effects, market traders, angry customers and dodgy produce all spinning on the screen!
The main problem international players will find is discovering how to play this game in a language other than Russian as this makes the game details difficult to understand – it is a case of jumping in a playing the game to find out the finer details.
The gamble game is a fun alternative to the usual ‘red or black’ card challenges often seen in slot machines, while the bonus games are inspired! From the fruit seller to the watch trader, these games give an insight into market life as well as offer the chance to boost your bankroll!
Overall, this game from Unicum is great for the senses and gives many different ways to win, however, until it is available to play easily in the English language, many players will be put off spinning the reels in this bizarre bazaar.
