Basic gaming features, and wild jungle animals come to life along the reels of this Slot title, powered by Microgaming. It is complete with 5 reels, and an impressive 243 paylines. ...

e sound effects are okay, considering the fact that I am always annoyed by the music that goes in the background in most of the games that I have played.

The good thing when it comes to this game is that it has a slightly different system for payouts. There should be matching symbols from right to left not just starting from the first reel but from the second and the third too. The animals represent the high values symbols and the card numbers are of course like in any other game the lowest paying symbols. The wild in this game is the Wild Orient logo. The wild only appears on the second and the fourth reel and it can replace for all the symbols except for the scatters.

There are 15 free spins with a x 3 multiplier and they are triggered by 3 or more stone carving scatter symbols. The scatters do not have to be on an active pay line. The free spins can be retriggered if 3 more scatters appear anywhere during the free spins round. Reel Respin feature is another interesting addition to this game and it happens after each spin. You can respin any reel in hope to get a winning combination. The first time I saw this feature in another game I was so confused and did not know what was going on, so I basically avoid doing respins. Maybe if it was free I would think twice but it comes at a cost so I choose not to do it.

Why oriental animals? Beats me! Those animals could be found at other continents too, or maybe Microgaming guys don't know this? Yeah, right, you tell me! Hahaha.

It's kinda hard to talk about yet another game without being repetitive or boring. I've talked about the Dragon Dance and I've talked about the Bikini Party, so the third time is always the hardest. Personally though, I find the name 'Wild Orient' not to be so suitable to the theme, but who cares anyway. For all I know and care, Wild Orient is an animals themed game, the latest helping from Microgaming, but a third clone. Will there be a fourth or fifth clone coming out soon? Well, if the designers become lazy enough, there surely would! Time will tell.

Dragon Dance was a bit of a bore, if you ask me. Bikini Party was more lively and more fun to play, somehow, despite being identical, and Wild Orient...well, I would say pretty good to play on, maybe at par with those bikini girls. Not in real life of course, but you already know that! Give me those real live bikini girls any time! Hahaha.

I played this game in exactly the same way I had played the other two clones. I made use of the 'respin' feature many times, getting those big wins at certain times, losing out trying most of the time. You just cannot believe how any one particular reel can respin and respin and respin without getting that one particular symbol you've been chasing after! When you are not chasing it, that symbol would appear every so often! All these are NOT random moves, I'm telling you, but programmed moves! Believe it or don't! But like I've said before, probably the only way to win on this game is to make wise use of the 'respin' feature. I have not been able to win so far, purely due to my small starting bankroll, because I have always found it impossible to keep on reusing the respin feature with a small bankroll! You need a much bigger one to start with and to win with. Anything small just won't do. You would run out of credits so fast that you just cannot continue to catch that Super Mega Win a few respins away! This is, without doubt, a distinct advantage for the game, the casino and the game provider.

The reason why it surprises me is the fact that it is a regular 243 payline slot with average design, inspired by the jungle theme.

Technically this is a very simple game with 5 reels and 243 paylines, minimum bet of 0.25€ and a free spins bonus round. The reason I like it so much is the fact that it is one of the few games Microgaming has released with respin option, for an extra cost. I don't like to admit it but it is very tempting and I've managed to lose quite some money just because I got too carried away with paying for respins.

One good thing for respins is the fact that sometimes you can easier trigger free spins, just respinning reels until you get those 3 scatters, for which you get 15 free spins 3 multiplied. However, the payouts from free games so far have been very disappointing. Only a few times I've been close to 100x bet win, but usually I end up with 30x- 50x bet winnings, which come from 5oak for number symbols.

Since I mentioned that free spins so far have paid low and that the design and overall appearance is average, the real reason why I've been spending a lot time with this game is the fact that it can help boosting balance. A few times I've started to play this game with about 30€ balance and with a few expensive respins I've got up to 150€ in a real short time. For me the excitement is bigger to trigger 5oak win rather than free spins. But I have to say that the respins are very costly, many times I've found myself betting 7€ per respin, just to get a 40€ win. That's why I think you need to be very careful with this slot, as you can lose a lot quickly. In one of my last sessions I lost 50€ in about 10 minutes, paying around 4€ per respin to get a 5oak combination and it ended with me losing the entire balance.

Overall this is an average game that has an exciting feature that gives you a feeling that you are in some control over the slot. Design is quite expected for the jungle theme and the payouts are average, I just play the game cause it can boost balance quickly and I am excited about respinning the wheels, but that's it.
