Sultan Spins

Theme and Design

Gleaming Bling-Heavy Gulf-State Vibe In This Game

Sultan Spins is rocking the stereotype of Gulf State wealth, a picture you’d expect to find if you chose to holiday in Dubai or Quatar. Tall, elegant building strut their stuff in front of a shimmering shoreline, whilst a gold-plated reel set sits center stage, stacked with bling-y symbols of wealth all made of gold, like speedboats and 4x4s. The hero character is a grinning dude in headdress with goatee and shades (made of gold, of course!). The design style is typical Relax Gaming so it’s clean and sharp. It’s a simple slot with a simple production style, and if you like thinking about landing a big wad and heading out to Dubai for your hols, here is a good place to start.

RTP and Variance

Sultan Spins comes in with an RTP at 96.1%. That is bang on average for an online slot game and indeed about standard for Relax slots, so there are no complaints there.

The variance is high so Sultan Spins will be a volatile play with an uneven win distribution.

Maximum Win

For a high variance slot from Relax Gaming this one has a surprisingly low max win at just 5,000x. There are plenty of other slots from this provider with much higher potential, like Money Train 3 (100,000x) or Dead Man’s Trail (50,000x) for example. But slots aren’t all about that headline figure, so let’s see what else the game has to offer.

Symbols and Paytable

Sultan Spins plays out on a standard 5 reel, 4 row grid with a bumper 40 payline in play at all times. The pay table looks healthy enough with wins ranging up to 20x for 5 top paying premiums.

There are 9 pay symbols in all. That’s 4 low payers – Jack, Queen, King and Ace. These are valued at from 0.4x for 3 Jacks up to 2.5x for 5 Aces. The premiums are the hookah pipe, gold trainers, gold 4x4, gold speedboat and sultan. These are valued at from 0.8x for 3 hookah pipes up to 50x for 5 sultans.

There is also a Wild that substitutes for all pay symbols to complete wins.

Features and Gameplay

The gameplay in Sultan Spins is simple. It’s all about small, local progressive jackpots and free spins with level-ups and multipliers. Here is how it works.

Local Progressive Jackpots

Above each reel is a jackpot ticker, displayed under a colored gemstone. From left to right they are silver (starts at 5x, must be won by 25x), green (starts at 50x, must be won by 50x), red (starts at 1,000x, must be won by 250x), purple (starts at 250x, must be won by 1,250x),  and blue (starts at 10x, must be won by 5,000x). Landing a matching-colored gemstone symbol on the reel under a jackpot ticker increases its value by the stake amount.

Once a ticker has updated then the gemstone symbol transforms into either a wild or a pay symbol, OR it triggers a Jackpot Spin.

The jackpot spin plays out on a mini reel set and once the prize has been re-set then the jackpot reverts to its starting value. 

Free Spins With Level Ups and Multipliers 

The free spins round is unlocked by landing the Tiger bonus symbol. These land on any reel and you’ll need 3 or more on one spin to unlock the round. That gets you 7 spins with a 1x multiplier. But there are 4 more levels to unlock by collecting 5 further bonus symbols each time, each with an increasing multiplier value.

Here is what you get:

• Level 1 – 7 spins with 1x multiplier
• Level 2 – 7 spins with 2x multiplier
• Level 3 – 7 spins with 4x multiplier
• Level 4 – 7 spins with 6x multiplier
• Level 5 – 7 spins with 8x multiplier

The multiplier that is active during free spins only applies to your line wins, NOT the progressive jackpots. And if you have bonus symbols spare at the end of your free spins round because you didn’t make it to the next level, then these are carried over to the base game to help you trigger free spins again.
