If you like an exciting mix of Chinese mythology, martial arts, and a few unpredictable elements, look no further than this mind-blowing game by RealTime Gaming. It may sound overwhelming, but it all blends smoothly, and with the potential for impressive wins, we are looking at one of the best online Australian pokies.
Elements of Design
With the rise of the Asian market, there have been numerous games that explore their folklore, but we must say that not all of them correspond that well with the Western punters. However, Storm Lords does not have that problem, and we enjoyed it all the way.
The design is of the highest quality as one would expect from this developer, but it seems that they took a step forward with the sound and visuals, so the experience is completely immersive. The backdrop is an ancient temple where the warriors, priests, and a princess take you on a chilling adventure to conquer the elements and win some serious money.
The game offers five reels with 50 adjustable paylines. The betting size is very diverse, so you can choose to roll high or low, which we find important and player-friendly. When it comes to rewards, unlike many other pokies by RTG, this one does not have a progressive jackpot, but since the top prize can be as high as 50,000 your stake, we think it doesn’t need one.
The average RTP is around 96%, but you still need to check it before you start playing, just to make sure.
Elements of Gameplay
As we said, the game was exciting and full of surprises. However, the bonus rounds are when things get hectic. The first feature to look for is the wilds assigned appropriately to the Storm Lords. They grace only reels 2 and 4 and can become stacked. They are mighty enough to fill in for any other symbol, except for the Amulet.
The Amulet is, as you guessed, the scatter in this pokie, and it opens the Free Spins. But before we get to that feature, there is one more thing to hope for during the regular play — the Treasure CoinBonus. You need six of the coins to pop up anywhere on the reels to unlock this round. At this point, you get three re-spins, and if you manage to land all 15, you are in for the grand prize. Treasure Coin Bonus can be won during the bonus play as well.
Back to the Free Spins. If you get three or more Amulets, you trigger the bonus. There are actually two, both of them containing six spins. Wild Spins have an addition of sticky wilds, while the Treasure Spins gives you a sticky Treasure Coin on the 5th reel.
After the Storm
With the jackpot potentially going up to $100,000, Storm Lords are one of the top pokie games that you can find in online casinos. However, the possibilities to win do not rely on the big prize, and the game has plenty to offer during the entire experience.
Though we had our suspicions that the game would be oriented towards the Asian gamers, the developer proved us wrong. There’s no doubt it will be as appealing to punters all over the world.
Storm Lords look great on any platform, so if you like playing on the go, you will not miss out on anything. The question is, can you handle the elements? We are confident that you can, so head out to the storm.
