Slot Review: Thai Sunrise

Thai Sunrise is a perfect example of our discovery that, just because a large amount of online slot machine software programmers are obsessed with a particular theme, it doesn’t mean that they are all going to do it justice! This online slot is dedicated to the beauty of Thailand, an Asian nation whose culture is undoubtedly very mysterious and exotic to the Western eye and sensibilities. Asian themes are huge in the world of online slots, which is not surprising with many internet casinos having bases in this part of the world. Thai Sunrise would be a great slot machine with another theme – it’s all substance and no style, to turn around a popular phrase.

Thai Sunrise is a five-reel, twenty-five payline online slot from Cryptologic. Coin values range from one cent to twenty dollars, with max coins set at twenty-five. Ergo, the highest per-wager denomination is five hundred dollars, an amount that bowls us over just thinking about it. For a high roller, there really can be no better diversion than this. The jackpot is one hundred twenty thousand dollars, another huge amount.

The reels are set on an insipid blue background, and the symbols are such stereotypically Thai items as: a painted wooden fan, a carved Buddha statue, a tuk-tuk, and a pink lotus blossom. Letters and numbers fill out the reels. There are wilds, scatters, and free spins to be had playing this game. It’s definitely a substantial offering as far as the technical aspects are concerned, but we feel that the true beauty of Thailand may have been done a disservice with this representation!
