Playtech have teamed up with Rarestone Gaming to bring you River Empress. This is a 5 x 3 slot with an RTP of 96.5%. You can bet from 10p up to £500 per spin, with the chance to pocket 2000x your wager. Features include free spins, repins, scatters, wilds and a bonus game.
River Empress Design
River Empress has a Chinese theme, but rather than the usual imagery, the slot is set on the river with buildings either side, trees and a beautiful pinky purple haze in the distance. The reels have a gold boarder and dark red background and the symbols are the usual lower value royals, followed by fish, birds, bridges, pearls, lotus flowers and the River Empress boat. The latter is the wild and can substitute any other symbols to form wins.
Gameplay and Features
The lotus is the scatter and comes in 4 different colours. If you land at least 3 of these, this triggers the River of Flowers feature and awards either free spins or triggers the Fire Blaze Respins Jackpot. If you trigger the free spins, you’ll receive 4, 6 or 10 free spins with up to 200 additional wilds.
If you trigger the Fire Blaze Respins feature, only money pearls, jackpot stars or blank symbols appear. The pearls and jackpots trigger 3 respins and only ends when either the screen is full of pearls or you run out of spins. If the screen is filled with the pearls, this pays out the jackpot 2000x your stake.
This feature can also be triggered by landing at least 6 pearl symbols on a spin. The pearl symbols also come with cash values ranging from 1x your wager, up to 50x your wager.
Verdict
This is a good solid slot, and while it isn’t anything innovative or unique, it is action packed. The free spins, Respins and additional wilds keep the excitement levels up and there is a decent jackpot potential.
