Orient Story Review
EGT has created a game inspired by the folk tales from the Islamic Golden Era, and these stories are collected in a work known as One Thousand and One Nights (or simply Arabian Nights in the west). The most famous story from this collection is the one about Aladdin and the genie in his lamp, and a magical lamp and genie plays a central part also in the Orient Story slot.
The volatility is low, which is a bit surprising when you consider the solid max win potential, and you’ll also benefit from a decent 96.35 % RTP. A bet range between €0.5 and €1,000 should satisfy most players, and the expanding symbols respins feature can generate single payouts up to 15,000x your stake. The bonus round gives you 3 respins instead of 1, and you can read all about the features below.
Orient Story Slot – Reels Screen
Orient Story slot Features
The oriental palace wild steps in for all regular pay symbols, like wilds usually do, and it’s also the highest paying symbol in the game. You win 3,000x your stake for 5 wilds on a payline, and the special Lamp symbols also act as a wild, but it’s not worth anything on its own.
The magical Lamp can land on reels 1, 3 and 5 in the base game, and it triggers the random prize that’s on display above the relevant reel whenever it lands. The Dynamic Reel Prizes vary per spin, and these can be instant cash prizes, expanding symbols respins or the bonus round.
If you win an Expanding Symbol Respin in the base game, the pay symbol in the Prize Reel will expand to cover the 3 middle reels. You are then granted 1 respin where the 3×3 symbol is sticky, and the remaining reels (1 and 5) spin. All the Prize Reels are locked during the Respin feature, so it cannot be retriggered.
The magic carpet scatter does not trigger the bonus round in this game, but it offers scatter wins up to 1,500x your stake for 5 anywhere in sight. The Bonus Round can thus only be triggered when the magic lamp lands on a reel with a free spins symbol in the above Prize Reel. You get 5, 7 or 9 free spins, and the Dynamic Prize Reel is now unlocked above reels 2 and 4 also.
This means that all 5 reels come with new Dynamic Prizes on each spin, and you get 3 respins if you trigger the Expanded Symbol Respins feature within the bonus round. You can win extra free spins also, as well as the instant cash prizes.
Finally, you have the Mystery Jackpot Cards system, and these are progressive jackpots that are on display above the reels. There are 4 tiers to this system, and the largest Spade Jackpot is found on the uttermost right. The jackpot game is triggered at random times, and you’ll pick from 12 cards to match up 3 jackpot card suits. This lands you the corresponding jackpot.
The 200 Spins Orient Story slot Experience
We triggered the occasional Expanding Symbol Respin feature in the base game, and you can check out the bonus round at 2:26 into the 3-minute highlights video. Needless to say, it didn’t last too long, but you can hit the play button if you wish to see how we fared.
Review Summary
EGT has their brick and mortar-inspired style, and you either dig it or you don’t. If you do, Orient Story is a pretty solid Aladdin’s lamp inspired game, where expanded symbol respins adds the occasional tension to the base game grind. While nothing is officially announced, a full screen of the highest value genie symbol should pay 15,000x your stake, due to the ‘pays both ways’ engine.
Landing 5 wilds pays 3,000x your stake, so bigger wins are certainly possible even outside of the progressive jackpot feature. Everything is enhanced in the bonus round, where you get 3 respins with the 3×3 expanded symbol in the middle, and indefinite extra spins can be won. The volatility is low and the RTP is above average, so keeping your head above water is not all that hard in this game.
Pros
- 3 base game prize reels
