Mystery Of The Orient Slot Review – Wild Streak Gaming
The month of January is over, and February slot announcements are here from all providers. Studio Pragmatic Play has seven scheduled releases, in which I have reviewed 4 of these so far. The latest was for the game titled ‘Wild Wild Riches Megaways‘, which has a max win capped at 10,000x and includes 4 Jackpot values up to 250x. In today’s review, we are learning all about ‘Mystery Of The Orient’, which is set to release on February 20th and created alongside studio Wild Streak Gaming.
Orient is a term which refers to the Eastern World, with what appears to be an Asian-inspired theme used for this slot. The game background displays a beautiful sunset filled with cherry blossom trees and a waterfall behind the reel set. There is a female character holding a sword next to the reel set and appearing as a premium symbol. The reel set is gold with green jade on each corner and a pattern engraved. Premium symbols are represented by items such as Golden trinket boxes and Tigers. The game background transforms now with a purple aesthetic when the Free Spins feature begins. There are also various animations, such as Premium symbols when part of a win. Plus the female character next to the reel set.
Mystery Of The Orient has a classic setup of 5 reels by 3 rows; this includes 25 set pay lines. This slot is high variance with a set RTP of 96% and a max win capped at 8,035x. You can bet from £0.25 to £125.
