Rise of the Empress Slot review

Rise of the Empress is a game that is based on the idea of an empress from Asia, and so it offers a Chinese based theme inside.

Genesis Gaming chose to create its own take on the Chinese slot machine, and they’ve went with an Empress inspired theme, but also with a number of images that are often found in these slots. You have dragons on the reels, there are images of fish, Chinese peasants and warriors, as well as some Royals in Chinese writing style. The Empress is obviously going to be among the symbols as well. The game gives you free spins, scatter icons, wild symbols, re-spins, Royal Picks, Added Wilds and Mixed Free Spins, so there is a very long list of potential features to take advantage of.

Otherwise, it’s a pretty normal game, with 5 reels which are occupied by 25 lines. You get paid up to $125 normally, but you win often enough thanks to those features, and the average RTP sits at just over 97%.

You’re not being asked to pick the number of lines, or the number of coins that they get, so it’s clear that the line bet is the only one that you can modify. The wager there starts at $0.01, with the possibility to increase it up to $10. You get a wager range from $0.25 to $250 as a result.

The Golden Dragon, with a statue of this majestic creature shown in it, is marked as the Wild, and so you know already what it can do for you. Having it appear in just the right location will mean an extra prize for you, if the other symbols needed for the combo are present as well. The wilds are only used on the last four reels, so they can’t form combinations by themselves.

The scatter symbol is another side to pay attention to, with two fish shown on it. Appearing on the reels 1, 3 and 5, the Fish scatters are the ones to bring you the 10 free spins. As you play through the free spins, you can trigger the 5th Reel Re-spin.

Other features available include here the Royal Pick, the Added Wild feature or Mixed Free Spins.

Rise of the Empress looks like a great slot machine, has a good RTP and features that can keep you occupied and happy for a long time.
