Gates of Persia

A slot from Gamomat and has a Persian theme with every symbol being in some way related to the beautiful Persia with a Queen, a vase, statue, what is interesting when looking at the slot is that there is a choice for the player right from the start in that you get to choose if you want to play the slot in 10 lines, 20 lines or 30 fixed pay-lines. If you do go with the lowest number of lines option then you only pay 0.10 per spin which is more than reasonable to give you the most chances at triggering a feature.

The black gate is the scatter symbol and the wild is the queen, and as often happens a feature is triggered by 3 or more scatters and in this case you get 7 free spins no matter how many scatters you trigger with. The fun thing about the feature is that all the symbols are in blocks except the scatters of course.

This Persian themed slot didn’t waste time in giving me a free spins feature when the slot dished it out inside of the first 100 spins, and went on to pay a not too shabby 66x, I am sure there is more potential there and can be worth to revisit again.

The music plays when you spin the reels and lots of string instruments will keep you entertained if you so choose to have it on as I did when I played to get the full experience. The sound effects will interrupt the music tho especially the loud scatters.

Gamomat knows that the features can be tough to get so which is why they give the players two gamble features which means going for a card gamble of red or black which will double your wins up to 5 times or the ladder gamble feature which will more than double your wins but it is much harder to win those gambles. I also like that you can gamble half your win when it comes to the card gambles especially if you have a good base win or feature you can just gamble half of it and keep the rest.

The slot was set to the max RTP of 96.13% which gave me the best chance of having a fair game on this slot.

You get only 7 free spins no matter how many scatters you trigger the free spins feature with , this is one of my main issues with slots that have this form of design. When it comes to the sound and music settings it also needs a fix to let me choose to play with music off or on and not turn off or on the sound effects, if Pragmatic Play can do this then Gamomat should too.

This Gates Of Persia game by Gamomat is one more game that can be played on either 10, 20 or 30 lines, with a corresponding starting bet of either 10, 20 or 30 cents per spin. I like the selectable number of paylines, but the win values of all the symbols in this game are of the very low kind, which I don’t quite like. Nonetheless, I decided to try out the game with 20 lines, but now I’m thinking I should have stuck with just 10 paylines instead! The payouts that I’ve gotten from the game have been quite horribly low!

Queen Semiramis is the Stacked Wild symbol, with a very low payout of just 50x the bet for any 5 of her. The Blue Gates is the Scatter symbol, also with a very low 50x payout, whilst the other symbols pay from 12.5x down to 1.25x. Not good values at all! Getting all 15 symbols of the Queen would pay a maximum single win of 1500x, but getting this win is another story altogether, simply because the winning symbols are not the scattering kind as in a ‘Book’ game. Gates Of Persia is simply a standard game.

Besides the very poor paytable, I also dislike the absence of win multipliers. The Wild symbol should have a doubling of wins, and the free spins should have at least a fixed x3 or x5 win multiplier, because only 7 free spins would be awarded each time, regardless of getting 3, 4 or 5 triggering Scatter symbols. Worst still, no retriggers are possible. Sheesh! If those 7 free spins don’t give you lots of same symbols on the reels, then there won’t be any good wins at all, not even any decent wins in fact! The best win I’ve gotten was only 60x, with 13 same symbols on the reels, so imagine the kind of payouts this game would give!

Honestly speaking, Gates Of Persia is not good in almost every sense of a game. The paytable is a very low one, you get only 7 free spins when triggered, with no extra free spins possibility, and completely no win multipliers at all. The 3 Scatter symbols are very hard to get, and the base game play is rather boring, so avoid playing this game, unless you only want to try it out.
