Gates of Persia Slot – Free Demo

Persian gates from the Ramses Book studio

Gates of Persia is a 5-reel, 3-row video slot. It comes from Gamomat, the studio behind Books & Bulls and Ramses Book. With 10, 20 or 30 adjustable pay lines and a 96.13% RTP, this Persian styled slot is wagerable between 0.10 and 18 credits and profits from super blocks as well as a free spins game. I played 320 spins at 6.00 credits on 30 lines and finished with 5,556.20 from a 5,000.00 start.

Queen Semiramis and a row of 10s

10, J, Q, K, and A constitute the low-paying symbols. Five of a kind on any of them returns between 0.833 and 1.66 times the stake. The high-payers are formed out of the Garden city, Golden statue, Throne, Jug of water, and Gold key, and the Queen is the most lucrative line symbol. She pays 33.33 times the stake for 5 across a complete pay line, and the Wild symbols arrive in the shape of Queen Semiramis. They substitute for all symbols except the scatter. Three Queens filling reel 5 at a 6.00 stake can turn lines of 10s into a 21.00 win.

There is one primary game mechanic incorporated in the game, and the Super Blocks feature drops sequences of the identical symbol stacked on a reel on all reels. Any symbol except the Gate is fit to create one. The Garden city pays from two of a kind, and five of them return 8.33 times the stake.

Seven spins behind the blue Gate

The free spins game is what it's all about in Gates of Persia. It is where the wait for the free spins to land can prove worthwhile, and to activate it, players need to hit 3 or more blue Gate Scatter symbols. That grants 7 free spins. Four or five Gates award the same 7, and the Gate also pays anywhere on the reels for up to 50 times the stake. The free spins game is played with super blocks. But players will now profit from one symbol being picked for each spin, signifying that symbol arrives in blocks across the reels. My first round came on spin 19 and paid 990.00, or 165 times the stake, while the second, 192 spins later, paid 156.00, or 26 times.

There are no retriggers, so there's no space for infinite spins. Neither of my two rounds went past 7 spins, and together they paid 1,146.00, 46% of everything the session won.

Final Minty Score: The super blocks did little to help lift the base game. Of 320 spins, 116 paid, 70 of them less than the 6.00 stake, and the best base game win was 276.00 on spin 49. It seemed sluggish to me, and Gates of Persia is far from the worst slot I've encountered. In fact, it's one of the better, but regrettably it doesn't get all the way.
