Visit Russia Through Online Slots

Added: May 6, 2015

Online slots come in a number of themes and one of these is about places. The symbols and the graphics revolve around the history, culture and monuments of a city or country. If that place is familiar to you then you will easily relate to the symbols and enjoy the online slot game that much more. If not, then you can treat the wagering as a learning experience as well.

This article looks at two video slots based on Russia. The first one is from the software provider Microgaming and is a much earlier release. Days of the Tsar depicts the opulence of the aristocratic dynasty. The display of wealth begins with the ornate golden border to the reels. The Tsar is the most important symbol. It is the wild and it also awards the largest line payout of 10,000 coins, a prize fit for a king. The other thematic symbols are the Tsarina, the Kremlin, the statue and the seal. A special symbol is the imperial Faberge Egg, which was specially designed for the Tsars. This is the scatter symbol, which awards scatter payouts and also triggers the free spins feature in which all payouts are doubled. The number of free spins awarded is the sum of the numbers revealed by the Faberge Eggs. During the free spins, each time you land a Faberge Egg on the reels you win an extra free spin. Days of the Tsar can be played at Microgaming online casinos like All Slots and Royal Vegas.

The Playtech Russia themed slot game From Russia with Love focuses more on the cultural aspect of Russia. The thematic symbols on the reels include the samovar, the lute, laced shoes and donuts. The onion is the wild symbol and awards the jackpot payout of 10,000 coins. Vodka is the scatter symbol. Whereas the Faberge Egg typically symbolised the aristocracy, the Matryoshka Dolls were the characteristically Russian playthings of the poor children. A set of Matryoshka Dolls consists of hollow dolls of different sizes. The smallest fits into the next larger one and so on till you have one doll that contains the rest. In From Russia with Love the dolls trigger the Matryoshka Bonus feature. You have to select a number of dolls and each one awards free spins. If you succeed in selecting five dolls without drawing a booby then the payouts in the free spins are doubled. From Russia with Love can be played at Playtech online casinos like Mansion Casino and Omni Casino.
