Lady of the Orient Microgaming

When I first played this game some years back, it didn't attracted me at all. The graphics aren't nice enough, even back in those days, and the whole game looks kinda laid back, like it's saying "if you wanna play me, go ahead, if not move along", know what I mean? Well, I did give it a go, didn't like the game that much, and have not played it again until very recently. Even that was more like a refresher game play for me, to refresh my memory, before I could write a review on it.

The Lady herself is the Wild symbol, appearing only on reels 2, 3 and 4. Getting all 3 of them doesn't pay anything at all, damn, but they trigger the Lady Of The Orient feature game, awarding 3 rounds of pick-and-match game. Match 3 Cat symbols and win the corresponding prize in each round. Well, the maximum amount that can be won in this feature game is not stated, but my few games on it paid from 14x to 39x my bet amount, which is not that good but not too bad either. This replaces the missing win value for getting the 3 Lady Wild symbols, but frankly speaking, it isn't a good trade-off.

The Palace is the Scatter symbol, 5 of which pays the usual 100x the total bet, and getting 3, 4 or 5 of these symbols trigger 15 free spins with all wins tripled. More free spins can be retriggered. Yeah, right. Every time I see this 'can be retriggered' thing in any Microgaming game, I really wonder if they even exists! Out of the hundreds of Microgaming games that I have played so far, I think I've only gotten those 'retriggers' in about 10 games, or slightly more! They're more like a hype to me, similarly with getting those 5 Wilds or 5 Scatters. Not one single 5-of-a-kind win on the high-paying Wilds nor on the Scatters, and this is for well over a period of several years of playing!

The other symbols in the game pay not too badly though. The Elephant pays 5000x, the Ship pays 1000x, and the rest paying from 500x to 100x, all per line bet for 5 of each kind. Nonetheless, the overall paytable is a low one, with the Wild symbols being particularly disappointing, for not paying for itself, for not doubling any wins, and for not coming stacked or expanding either. The feature game it triggers couldn't even come close to replacing the lost winning chances.

For some reason I like oriental themed slot, maybe because of the beautiful lady that appears quite often on the reels. That was my first thought, but later while I was playing the game I realized that the lady has to appear on the 2, 3 and 4 reel to trigger the bonus feature. I did not manage to open the bonus round because I have deposited only 20 euros and I played the game for a while and when I realized that it is going to take all my money I have changed the game. During the base game there are no winnings at all or they are smaller than your bet, so what is the point to keep playing a game that is going to take all your money.

This is a 5 reel 20 pay lines slot run by Microgaming software. This game has a great bonus feature where you can make some big wins if you are lucky enough to trigger it. This bonus feature is triggered only if the Lady of the Orient appears on the reels 2, 3 and 4. You get 3 rounds where you have to match 3 same Buddhas to get some prizes. If you get 3 or more scatters you get 15 free spins where you can multiply your winnings by 3.

Lady of the Orient is a game powered by microgaming. I actually like this game. Generally i dont play much or like games of this kind but this game has been very nice to me and gave me couple of good wins. There are 20 lines in this game so the minimum bet is €0.20.

I have played this game on bets ranging from €0.20 to €1.20 and for me personally the bet of €0.60 is perfect. I get more wilds and scatters when playing on this bet. The biggest line hit i got on this game was five ships and the win was €30. There are two features in this game and i got both of them many times.

There is a free spins feature and the Lady of the orient feature. To get the free spins i had to get three or more Palace's any where on the reels. That gave me 15 free spins with all wins tripled. There is a chance to re-trigger the free spins and i only did that once. Max i won on this feature was over €90 on a €0.60 bet. I think that is a great result.

The Lady of the Orient feature is pretty cool too. To get it i had to get three Lady of the Orient symbols on the 2,3 and 4 reels. This is also a wild symbol so when you get this feature you also have a good chance to get a big win. This is a pick and match bonus so i really liked it. You cave to pick until you mach three cats. Max i ever won on this feature was over €15. Over all the game is really cool and i really like it. If i was to rate it i would give it 8 out of 10. Hope you enjoyed my review and have a nice day:)
