samarkand's gold slot theme, stakes, pays & symbols

So, just what is Samarkand's Gold, I hear you ask? After a quick search on our ever-reliable god of knowledge known as Google, I soon found a Wikipedia entry informing me that Samarkand is a city in southeastern Uzbekistan, and all the more fascinatingly, it just so happens to be one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in Central Asia. There is a multitude of confirmed evidence that proves humans have continuously inhabited the area since the late Paleolithic Era – that’s the 7th to 8th centuries BC, for us ignorant folk – and it was even a key location on the old Silk Road between China and Europe in its day. Once again, you really do learn something new every day, and it's all because of my love of slots – amazing!

Over to the all important paytable, and we have a red king-looking dude topping off the list, with a return of 6.5x your bet for every completed pay line of five-of-a-kind. Behind him are the horse and dragon, both of whom pay 3.75x for all five, and finally, the two weapon symbols – a sword and a bow and arrow- will pay you 3x your bet for a full pay line. The scatters are worth 20x for all five, though sadly, the wild has no special return assigned, so you’ll receive the normal return as you would for the highest paying regular symbol should you be lucky enough to score a full pay line of those.

The minimum bet is slightly higher than average at €0.40 per round – not exactly huge, but possibly enough to discourage players with small bankrolls as you aren’t going to get a great deal of playtime for your money if you only have €10 to €20 in your gambling budget for the evening. At the other end of the spectrum, the maximum bet of €40.00 seems plenty enough for all but the highest of high rollers!

base game & modifiers

The standard game takes place on a 5x4 playfield with 1,024 payways – all prizes require at least three matching symbols starting from the left side of the reels, except the scatters, which pay anywhere as always. Sadly, there are no base game modifiers, but a card-based gamble feature is interesting in that sometimes it can work dramatically in your favour, should the face-up card be low enough.
