Orion is a 50-payline video slot operating on the Genesis software platform. The Portal symbol is the wild card, creating a wild stack, and the scatter is the Orion Logo symbol. Players are invited to try the slot on this page for free or play the game for real money in any of the featured Microgaming casinos.
To start spinning the constellation-themed reels, one needs to adjust their bet first. “Lines” selects the number of paylines players can bet. +/- alters the coin size, ranging from 0.01 to 0.2. To modify the number of coins wagered, one should press “Coins”. To start spinning the reels, “Spin” needs to be pushed and “Bet Max” turns them at the highest bet. To play the game a number of times without interruption, players should click “Expert” and then “Autoplay”.
3 or more Orion Logos emerging on the reels will trigger Free Spins, wherein players are awarded 8 Free Spins. During the Free Spin round, the Portal symbol is a wild symbol stack, so if a wild card emerges on the reels, it moves up or down to cover all positions on the reel with the wild stack. Free Spins can be re-activated.
A 1,000-coin jackpot is won when 5 Orion symbols emerge on an enabled paylines.

Orion is video slot with 5 reels and 50 pay lines. It is creation of Genesis Gaming software provider. I played this game a month ago, but I did not like it so much. I expected more from it, mostly because it offer 50 pay lines and I thought the winnings will be good.
I played at minimum bets, which are set to 0.5€. If you decide to play this game with small deposit, I think you can expect that it could eat your balance very quickly. I played it for some time, in that time I had no any big winnings. The base game is ok, but the payouts should be a little better. When wild symbols are on the reels, I expected bigger winnings but my best results with wilds was only around x10 bet. I think this is bad for video slot which offer 50 active paylines.
The free spins feature is ok, but nothing special. During free spins there are stacked wilds and when the came into the reels, they will trigger the wild slide mode. Wild slide mode will move to fill the entire reel wild. I had only twice this mode during 8 free games. My winnings were low, never more than x15 bet. I triggered once free games with four scatter symbols and I expected better number of free games. But I was disappointed when I saw that no matter how many scatters you get, you will be awarded with 8 free spins. I think this number is set too low, I think there should be at least 12 free games.
I missed here some bonus game. I expected something more from video slot which has pretty good number of paylines, 50. I will rate this game with 5 stars, I think I will not play it again, mostly because I do not like it.
