Core rules

Released 1 December 2016 on 5 reels with 243 ways. Published RTP 97.49%, volatility Low, bet range 0.25–250. The maximum win and feature list are not published.

What stands out

Among the site's Microgaming slots, only four publish an RTP above 97% — Reel Gems, Wild Orient, Bikini Party and Dragon Dance — and all four are listed at 97.49%, Low and 0.25–250. Only Reel Gems and Bikini Party publish the 243-ways format, though; the other two are listed only as 'Video slot'. And RTP remains a long-run theoretical figure that says nothing about a short session.
