Urartu

Urartu Slot Machine

Behind this mysterious title lies one of Endorphina’s finest slot games, with perhaps one of the most original universes. We need to start with a little history: Urartu refers to an ancient kingdom mentioned in the Bible, located in modern-day Armenia. This game is a dive into the lesser known ancient Assyrian civilization and its many mysteries. And Urartu has a lot to offer the curious player. Read on to find out more about this unique slot game, how it looks and how to play.

Discover an Ancient Kingdom

As mentioned above, Urartu is set in the ancient Assyrian Empire and as such features unique cultural and graphic elements associated with that civilization. The background of the game shows an arid desert with tall, snow-capped mountains in the distance. The reels are placed on a massive gray stone block without any ornamentation.

The music is oriental and mysterious, perfectly matching the atmosphere of the game. Each win triggers extra sound effects and beautiful symbol animations that you will definitely want to admire! Once again, Endorphina has managed to create a pleasant and coherent universe, albeit inspired by an unusual theme.

First Steps

Urartu has five reels and only ten paylines. Your first step, as usual, should be to set the denomination thanks to the corresponding icon located in the top left corner of the game screen. The side tabs flanking the reels are there to help you choose how many pay lines you want to bet on. Finally, use the up and down arrows below the reels to select the amount you wish to bet, and you are good to go!

Click the Spin button to start the reels spinning. Combinations of identical symbols on an active payline will trigger the corresponding cash reward. You can try to double your winnings by clicking the Take Risk button after a successful spin. In the following mini-game, try to find a card with a value that will beat the card selected by the computer. Each good guess will double your winnings, but the first mistake will end the game and take away all your winnings.

Alternatively, you can use the Auto feature to set the reels to spin automatically, allowing you to place the same bet over and over again without interruption. Perfect for a seamless gaming experience.

Symbols Set in Stone

Let’s take a look at the Urartu paytable. Most of the symbols on it are inspired by the Assyrian civilization and may seem unfamiliar to many players. However, they are beautifully designed and a real treat to the eye as you play.

The first few icons are classic slots inspired by playing cards, starting with the number 9 and going all the way up to the Ace. These are the least valuable icons of all, displaying a simple gray font.

The rest of the pay table is more interesting – and more valuable. In ascending order of value, we have the stone eagle, the helmet and spears, the stone lion, and finally the queen and king of Urartu, dressed in beautiful traditional garb. A five of a kind combination of symbols at this level is worth 750 times your initial bet. Very nice!

Final Extras

The last two symbols in Urartu are a bit more special and bring some extra bonuses to the table. The first of these is the joker, represented by a sun rising over a majestic mountainous landscape. This symbol can substitute for any of the others to create new winning combinations. All wins made with one or more wild cards are immediately doubled. A combination of five Wilds on an active payline is also worth 9,000 times the original bet. Boom!

Finally, the Spiral symbol is the scatter card in Urartu. Combinations of Spirals anywhere on the reels trigger rewards, and three or more of them award 15 Free Spins with a x3 multiplier!

Original Universe, Classic Game

Urartu is a solid Endorphina game with all the elements that players love, such as special symbols, free spins and multipliers. All of this wrapped up in an original and mysterious universe, this game will attract many players and keep them entertained for a long time.

However, the small number of paylines and the lack of mini-games, which could have helped to develop the story behind the reels, are a bit of a disappointment. Urartu is a good slot, but it had the potential to be excellent!
