Slots Adventures

next up on the test-drive list is the Lady of the Orient video slot.  it’s a 20 payline slot game that is in the mold of the Age of Discover machine with the animated characters on the reels.  land a winning combo and watch them kind of come to life.

the machine lets you wager up to, get this, 20 coins per payline.  so you can really crank it up if you’re looking for action.

there is a WILD symbol, which is the Lady herself, and a Scatter symbol (the Palace symbol).  landing three scatters unlocks the free spins session on the slot.  and, winning combos that you land during the free spins cycle are worth three times their normal value. 

besides the special symbols, the other symbols on the reels are the traditional card values.  Ace, King, Jack, etc.  these aren’t my favorite symbols (they certainly work, and it’s not like there’s anything wrong with using them), so it takes a bit of the fun out of the game for me.

well, that’s an overstatement.  it’s not like it takes away from the fun, maybe i should say it doesn’t add any more fun to the game.  but, talk about a matter of personal preference. 

hehe, i would think it was fun though if you got credit for racking up things like a straight, or two pair   of course i’m a poker player too, so there’s a certain bias involved.

i did take advantage of the expert mode options to put the machine on “quick-spin”, and i like that better.  the reels seem a bit slow on this game compared to the Jingle Bells machine that i was palying earlier, and the Tunzamunni game too.

if you’re looking for a video slot that gives - 20 paylines, a WILD, and a Free Spin cycle, this is a machine that fits the bill.  for me, personally, the theme and graphics just don’t fit my mood of the day.
