The Emirate II

The Emirate II Review

With The Emirate II slot, the developer returns to UAE after a long time. The first visit was given back in 2015 with the first slot released, and much has changed since then, at least at first glance. While the game looks fresh and modern on the outside, the gameplay underneath is pretty basic, offering straightforward base spins with hardly any bonuses.

The original slot is a true classic with minimal features, and the second part follows the same pattern but offers more ways to win with an increased number of paylines and Wild symbols. Back to the visual appearance, The Emirate II has a terrific design. The background image showcases the magnificent city at night, shining with thousands of lights. Here, you see the magnificent skyscrapers of Dubai and even spot the iconic Burj Khalifa and the Emirates towers. The sound aspect is also fine. A folk Arab song plays whilst you spin the reels, adding a final touch to the general ambiance.

The actions take place across a standard 5x3 reel set with 20 winlines, and players drop in by setting bets from €0.2 to €200 per spin. The volatility is unknown, but the RTP is solid at 96.01%, which is at the average level, so wins should occur fairly often. As for the wins, payouts up to 1,000x the bet are achievable.

As we head over to the paytable, we see 6 regular symbols that are split in half into two categories. The lower section is made up of jars, knives, and jewelry, while the higher lot includes in ascending order yachts, a lady, and a sheikh. Three or more symbols create a winning combination, and five-of-a-kind wins are worth 5x your bet for low symbols and 10x - 20x your bet for high symbols.

The Emirate II Slot Features

As said earlier, The Emirate II offers pretty classic gameplay, so there aren't any free spins or bonuses included. Here, Wilds are your key to getting tasty wins here. Not only do they substitute for any other regular symbols in winning combinations but also pay up to 50x the stake for line wins. More than that, Wilds can appear stacked on the reels to produce bigger winning opportunities.

Next are Scatter symbols, which can appear anywhere in view and pay at any position. When 3 or more appears simultaneously, you receive a fixed cash award. With that said, landing 3, 4, or 5 Scatters awards 5x, 20x, or 500x the bet respectively.

Last but not least is the Gamble feature, which allows you to increase your winnings. Whenever you hit a win during the gameplay, you will be offered a gamble, where you need to beat the dealer's card to double your win. The feature is repeatable and you can gamble multiple times. However, should you make a wrong move, all winnings will be lost.

Review Summary

Due to a lazy approach, The Emirate II doesn't look too engaging. It could have had more features and a better math, yet the studio decided to stick to the classic template. Anyway, it's not too bad either, and those really into the Arab theme might feel drawn to spin the reels on it.
