Game Overview
I don’t recall ever seeing the original “The Emirate” online slot before now, but I did have a quick look at it before beginning to write this review. As you might expect, there are quite a few similarities between the two games, and this sequel does expand on what was offered in the original slot. That isn’t saying much, however, as The Emirate II is still one of the simplest online slots I have played this year. It’s a 20-pay line game with a 96.01% RTP, and whilst Endorphina has not stated a maximum win anywhere in the documentation, the limited feature set made it straightforward to calculate the theoretical jackpot of 1,000x your bet.
Limited feature set, you say? Yes… and I really meant it too. This game doesn’t include anything at all! There are no base game modifiers, no bonus rounds, nothing; I sat and spun the reels for a while before looking at the paytable and finally managed to hit four scatter symbols. I was confused when nothing happened afterwards, but once I opened the paytable, it became clear – nothing was supposed to happen! The only “features” mentioned on the paytable are the wild symbols, which appear in stacked configurations, and the “risk game”, or gamble feature, which allows you to try and double your winnings.
If you are a hardcore fan of low-tech-slots, then this game will surely be right up your street. Get ready to experience our demo slot of The Emirate II – available to play below!
The Emirate 2 Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols
It’s difficult to know what to compare this game too, if I’m honest – there aren’t many games which include Iraq or Persia in their title, probably due to the aggravated military situation between Western countries and the Middle East during the past three decades. There are plenty of Asian-themed online slots, like Floating Dragon Megaways, but those tend to focus on Japan or China rather than Middle Eastern countries. It feels as if Endorphina had a great opportunity to create a slot with an original theme in The Emirate II, but unfortunately, the developer just hasn’t put the effort in on this occasion. Perhaps we will finally get a bonus round in The Emirate 3?!
As there are virtually no features or bonus rounds in The Emirate II, you would expect Endorphina to have added some really attractive wins to the paytable. After all, if the RTP isn’t contained here, then where else can it possibly be? First, a full pay line of the highest-paying wild symbol is worth 50x the current bet, whilst the top regular symbol is a character who could be a Sheikh and has a return of 20x for a full pay line of five-of-a-kind. A female character wearing a hijab tie with a superyacht for the third place position, both of which will pay you 10x your bet for all five symbols. A necklace, a fancy looking horn, and a jug are all tied for the next spot, sharing a payout of 5x your bet for fie-of-a-kind. The scatter symbol is something of an outlier and has a return of 500x your bet for all five, but those combinations are likely to be extremely rare even if there is no attached bonus round.
The game has 20 fixed paylines, whilst the overall wager per spin is determined by choosing a coin value. The lowest possible value is €0.01, resulting in a wager of €0.20 per spin, whilst the maximum of €1.00 creates a maximum bet of €20.00 for each round.
Base Game & Modifiers
Once again, considering that no features or bonus rounds are included in The Emirate II, it would have made sense for Endorphina to try and do something special with the base game to distinguish this slot from all others on the market. For whatever reason, the developer has chosen not to bother – this is a standard 5×3 playfield slot, and all winning combinations require a minimum of at least three matching symbols starting from the left to score yourself a win.
The theoretical jackpot I mentioned having calculated in the opening paragraph, was determined by multiplying the payout for a full pay line of five wild symbols by the maximum of 20 possible paylines. This should be possible considering that the wilds appear stacked on the reels, but if it is not, the maximum win would be the 500x payout for five scatter symbols rather than the 1,000x that would result from a full screen of wild symbols.
The Emirate 2 Slot Bonus Features
Nothing to report here, sadly, unless you include the gamble feature. This is a standard option included in all of Endorphina’s online slots, however, so it cannot really be considered a special feature of The Emirate II.
Nevertheless, this is a decent gamble feature if you appreciate the option of gambling your winnings. Five playing cards are presented, the first of which is shown face up, and you are tasked with selecting a higher value card from one of the remaining four to double your winnings.
If the face-up card is a two, your odds of winning are very good at 162%. However, if the face-up card is an Ace, those odds drop to just 42%, and you can only hope to tie the card rather than beat it.
The Emirate 2 Slot Review Final Thoughts
This is a well-presented online slot and an excellent option for any players who like to try their luck on a low-tech game that doesn’t come decorated with bells and whistles. Try the demo and see what you make on it.
