Slot Review: Lady of
the Orient
The country of Thailand is an Asian nation
renowned for its grace, spirituality, and beauty. The culture is
ancient and is long-steeped in its traditions, which are immediately
recognizable. Asian themes are very predominant in the online slots
gaming industry, which is appropriate with so many internet casino
software companies having set up operations in Asian locations like
Macau. Overseas, and especially in Asia, federal regulations
governing internet gambling are much more permissive than in the
United States. Lady of the Orient is a beautiful online slot game
dedicated to the loveliness of Thai culture, and provides a breath
of fresh air to punters fed up with the normal array of pokies
swimming in geisha and ninjas.
Lady of the Orient is a five-reel, twenty-payline online slot
machine title by Microgaming. Coin values range from one cent to
fifty cents, with max coins of four hundred amounting to a maximum
per-spin wager of two hundred dollars. Naturally, you have the
option to play this solely as a penny slot, but in doing so you
would miss out at the chance to win the jackpot of five thousand
coins, or twenty-five hundred dollars. They say that faint heart
never won fair lady, and we say that also applies to Lady of the
Orient!
The reels are filled with many emblematic symbols of Thai culture –
a golden Buddha, a regal elephant, and a sailing ship. There are
also many letters and numbers filling the reels. The background
looks like a beautiful sunrise over Bangkok, lending a peaceful and
elegant feel to a slot game that manages to be both these things.
