Quickspin Launches Eastern Emeralds Pokie
As the name suggests, Eastern Emeralds is an oriental themed pokie set against a backdrop of Towering mountains and Asian wilderness. The game boasts 5-reels with 3 rows, and a total of 20 paylines. Playable on all devices, the RTP is set at 96.58% with 67.94% in the base game, while 28.64% is allocated to the free spins bonus round. This is a fairly simplistic title with a Scatter symbol, Wild symbol, Multipliers and a free spins bonus.
A Move in a Different Direction
On the reels, you will find the usual selection of high cards symbols as well as a few oriental themed images laced with gold. These include a gold koi fish, a gold turtle, coins, a golden dragonhead and a bowl. The highest paying non-bonus symbol is the dragon, which pays out as much as the Wild.
The Wild symbol is the emerald green symbol printed with its title. When landed on a reel, the Wild will adopt a multiplier with the same reel number. Therefore, a Wild on reel 2 will have a 2x multiplier while a Wild on reel 5 will have a 5x multiplier.
The highlight of Eastern Emeralds, and perhaps the reason to play such a different Quickspin title, is the Destiny Bonus free spins round. Land 3 Scatters anywhere on reels 2, 3 and 4 and you get access to a potentially huge payout. Once triggered, the Destiny Bonus gives you the option of choosing what type of free spin bonus you want.
A Monster Pokie with Huge Payouts
We have seen this type of setup before where you can choose fewer free spins with a higher number of multipliers or a higher number of free spins with lower multipliers. With this game, reels 2, 3, 4 and 5 all come with multiplier in the bonus round. So, if you take just 6 spins, you can theoretically get multipliers of 5x, 6x, 7x and 8x.
What this means is that if you are lucky enough to land a string of 5 Wild symbols in the bonus round when choosing the 6 free spins model, you can win up to 252,000 credits or 12600x your total bet stake. This is one of the highest jackpot payouts we have ever seen in a non-progressive pokies game, and certainly one reason to get started playing. In departing from their usual fair, Quickspin has put together a surprising pleasing game with monster payouts.
