Eastern Emeralds Pokie

The beauty of playing Eastern Emeralds is that a game with a giant winning capacity needs very little attention on the player’s part. All 20 paylines of the slot machine are always on, so the only thing players have to do to play the game is placing a bet. A line bet starts from NZ$0.01 thus the threshold is really low and the game starts playing for only NZ$0.20. High rollers may raise the stake up to NZ$5 per line and NZ$100 per spin. Having done this, players set the reels and symbols in motion and Lady Luck begins her mysterious and hopefully lucrative work by placing icons in the most beneficial way. There are ten regular symbols including five playing cards from 10 to A and five golden Chinese accessories. All non-feature symbols pay from left to right when there are at least 3 symbols of a kind on any payline. Payouts on playing cards start at x5 and go up to x40 a line bet or up to NZ$200 at max. Golden items award higher wins and pay between x15 and x150 a line bet or up to NZ$750 at best.

This paytable looks low as compared to promises of the developer, Quickspin. The thing is that a full earning capacity of the pokie unfolds when wilds come into play. First of all, wild symbols hold win multipliers and may boost a line win by x2 to x5. Sometimes a wild appears with x1 multiplier, in such a case it is a regular wild substituting for any symbol except for a scatter. If two or more substitutes hit a combination, their multipliers multiply. Therefore, a x5 boost mentioned above is not a limit and line wins can be augmented by a x25 multiplier. Landing three or more wilds pays between x25 and x150 a line bet. Substitutes can appear on any reel, but during free spins their place depends on a multiplier assigned to them. Red round symbols with a Phoenix bird are scatters. These symbols do not pay anything. Scatters may appear on reels 2, 3 and 4 during the base game only and trigger Destiny Free Spins. The bonus cannot retrigger as soon as scatters are not used during the feature. On the other hand, the absence of scatters leads to more room for wild multipliers which are the centerpiece of the feature.

To play the feature, players have to land three Scatters on reels 2, 3 and 4 during the base game. When it happens, the pokie machine offers a choice and a player may pick 1 out of 4 sets of free spins and wild multipliers. The sets are governed by the principle: the more spins the lower the risk and multipliers. Besides, the sets follow certain architecture and wild multipliers appear in a certain sequence on the reels which is defined by a multiplier value held by a wild symbol. During the bonus feature, wilds maintain their beneficial property of multiplying each other, thus creating stunning wins. Below there are four sets of free spins and multipliers described in detail:

1. The first set includes six free spins with four wild multipliers such as x5 (appears on reel 2), x6 (reel 3), x7 (reel 4) and x8 (reel 5 only). A total theoretical multiplier may reach 5x6x7x8 = x1,680
2. Nine free spins with wild multipliers of x4, x5, x6 and x7 falling on reels 2, 3, 4 and 5 and producing a total multiplier of x840
3. Twelve free spins with at x3, x4, x5 and x6 which appear on reels 2, 3, 4 and 5 respectively. This combination is capable of producing a x360 multiplier
4. Finally, the fourth set offers 15 free spins and x2, x3, x4 and x5 wild multipliers.

Destiny Free Spins are an extremely lucrative bonus making the gameplay undeniably attractive and exciting.
