How To Play Eastern Emeralds Mobile Slot
This Eastern Emeralds mobile slot promises you a 1,680 multiplier during the free spins; but does it deliver?
The short answer is yes and no. Yes, you can get a 1,680 times wild multiplier on a win, but no you won’t get it often.
The good news is that it doesn’t matter; that this slots equivalent of hitting the grand jackpot prize and walking away with 16,000 times your bet. It’s not going to happen too many people often.
But you know what might happen? Maybe 1,000 times your bet. Or over 100 times your bet. Because this Quickspin studios slot has more multipliers than it knows what to do with.
Eastern Emeralds is a simple 20 payline video slot
We couldn’t decide on the rating for this Eastern Emeralds slot review because we figured it would be very divisive.
Which is strange because if you look at the features and slot theme, this is kinda old-fashioned. You have wilds with multipliers in the base game.
You have 3 scatters that lets you pick from 4 free spin options, and therefore, the volatility of your bonus rounds. All slot features we’ve seen many times before.
A generic but beautiful Asian slot
And whilst the Oriental slot theme is incredibly well done, again, it doesn’t break any rules.
It’s not like The Legend of Shangri La that brought in a crazy animal monk or Matsuri game that celebrated a traditional Japanese festival.
This has golden symbols in the form of dragons, carp and turtles, with lucky coins and Ace to 10 symbols. The fiery Phoenix is beautiful, and the backgrounds are well done, but this could be anywhere in ‘Asia’.
What is my destiny bonus choice?
The controversial part of this Eastern Emeralds video slot is the fact that it is ridiculously high variance, as you’d expect from a game with such a big payout.
Meaning the free spins can take well over 150 spins to trigger, and when they do, depending on which you choose, you can walk away with about 3x your bet. Maybe less.
But you get to choose your own destiny as you can, if you like, pick to play 150 free spins with multipliers that can total up to 120x on a win – and that would still be a grand win, just not as grand as the one in the 6 free spins with that possible 1,680x multiplier.
Not an easy casino slot to love, and very frustrating at times, but lovers of simple 5 reel slots with bonus games will appreciate a hard-hitting game that focuses on the reels and the wins – much like in the Isis game or Avalon of old.

Eastern Emeralds Bonus Features
Wilds and Multipliers: The Emerald is the wild symbol and will replace any other symbol on one of the 20 paylines to create a win.
But it also comes with multipliers. Reel 1 has no multiplier, reel 2 has a 2x multiplier, reel 3 a 3x multiplier, reel 4 a 4x multiplier and reel 5 a 5x multiplier on the wilds.
These multiply each other if they are all part of payline and also happens to have the same payout as the highest symbol on the paytable.
Free Spins Destiny Bonus: 3 Phoenix scatter bonus on reels 2, 3 and 4 will trigger the destiny bonus.
You will then have to choose from 4 options:
- High Risk: 6 free spins with wild multipliers of 5x, 6x, 7x and 8x. Together they multiply to give you a 1680 multiplier on a win.
- Mid to High Risk: 9 free spins with wild multipliers of 4x, 5x, 6x and 7x. Together they multiply to give you an 840 multiplier on a win.
- Medium Risk: 12 free spins with wild multipliers of 3x, 4x, 5x and 6x. Together they multiply to give you a 360 multiplier on a win.
- Lower Risk: 15 free spins with wild multipliers of 2x, 3x, 4x and 5x. Together they multiply to give you a 120 multiplier on a win.
Notice how we put down 'lower' risk? That's because even the option that just reflects the base game is still pretty risky.
That said, you don't play a volatile machine like Eastern Emeralds and choose the lower risk option. Might as well at least try and go for the slightly bigger multipliers - at least, that's what we do.
