The Emirate

The Emirate Slot Machine

This slot from Endorphina offers a modern twist on the traditional Arabic theme with its 5-reel, 5-payline spinning action. Based on the contemporary monarchy of the United Arab Emirates, this game offers players a window into an exotic world of extravagance and power. Some luxury could even be in your hands if you hit the slot’s 500,000 credit jackpot. The only downside is that there are no free spins or special bonus elements to the gameplay other than a Gamble game.

A Modern World of Riches

There are plenty of slot machines out there that take players on a journey to discover the ancient riches of the Middle East. This game, on the other hand, offers players a refreshing look at the Arab world by showing them the region’s prosperity in the modern day. As the reels spin, images of Middle Eastern culture such as teapots and water pipes combine with the glamour of luxury cars and the skyline of Dubai, revealing the magnificent skyscrapers that are an iconic symbol of the region’s growing wealth. There is also a symbol representing the man-made Palm Islands. In addition, a handsome prince and a beautiful princess, both dressed in the traditional garb of the enchanting desert kingdom, will guide you on your tour of the emirate.

This slot machine uses sound to evoke the modern splendor while maintaining a sense of the heritage and history of the place. For example, traditional Arabic music plays as the reels spin. However, when certain winning combinations are achieved, the music changes to a more contemporary tune. Visually, the game adds a sense of mystery with its dark night blue color scheme. However, the reel symbols are predominantly gold and silver to catch the eye and emulate the wealth inherent in the game’s theme.

Grab Your Piece of the Fortunes

Fancy getting your hands on some of those Middle Eastern riches? Maybe you can with the rather lucrative payouts that The Emirate Slot has to offer. As it goes, the pinnacle of payout values is a very nice 500,000 credits from a 100 credits bet (which is the maximum possible stake available). This particular win can be achieved by lining up five matching symbols of the Dubai city skyline. After that, the Prince and Princess will both reward up to 50,000 credits when five are lined up with a maximum line bet placed on the payline. The Palm Islands symbol acts as the game’s scatter icon, meaning it pays a total bet multiplier when three or more appear, even if they don’t line up on a payline. Five scatters on the reels pay out 25,000 credits with a maximum bet of 500 credits.

The car, teapot and water pipe all have top payouts of 20,000. That’s quite a high payout for the game’s lowest-value symbols, meaning there’s plenty of opportunity to win some decent sums even if you can’t hit the most lucrative icons. That being said, wins may not come on every spin of the reels as there are only 5 paylines to play with.

Tailor Made Spins

Dubai is the destination of choice for the world’s wealthy elite and everything is presented at the highest level to suit each individual’s needs. Well, Endorphina’s The Emirate slot emulates this bespoke service with an extensive range of game options that allow players to tweak little details to optimize their gaming experience. For example, it is possible to customize the autoplay settings to match your betting strategy by setting the reels to stop when your balance has decreased or increased by a certain percentage.

Take a Risk

One big disappointment with this slot is that it doesn’t offer any special bonus rounds or free spins. This is strange for such a great theme. However, players can play the Gamble card game that appears on many of the slots designed by Endorphina. All you have to do is choose one of four options to reveal a higher card value than the one already shown. A successful gamble will double your win from the previous spin, but an unsuccessful gamble will erase that win and any accumulated gamble wins.

Grand Theme, but a Lack of Bonus Action

The Emirate is a visually impressive slot from a good software company. The jackpot of 500,000 credits is very tempting and even the lower value symbols have the potential to pay some decent wins. However, the game is hampered by the lack of big bonus features and as such the action can get a little repetitive very quickly. This means that it can be difficult to hold out for those lucrative payouts.
