Sinbad the Sailor is a popular character from the famous Arabian Nights epic. His adventures are out of the world. Sinbad’s Golden Voyage is a new video slot game at Omni Casino. It is an Ash Gaming product but has been released at the online casino through Playtech. The visuals perfectly create the setting from the Arabian Nights and the structure of the slot game is as out of the world as Sinbad’s adventures.

There are 6 reels in the set, which is not yet the norm. What is really unusual is how the spots on the reels are arranged. The odd numbered reels have 6 spots and the even numbered reels have 7 spots. The spots on adjacent reels are staggered. All combinations of adjacent symbols starting with a chain of 3 symbols constitute paylines. The mathematically minded players can confirm that this leads to 164 paylines that are always active. You select the total bet per spin and the payout table adjusts to indicate the line payouts for your selection. The total bet can be as low as $0.02, but not all line payouts are active for this bet. You need to bet a minimum of $0.25 per spin in order to be eligible for all line payouts. You can bet as much as $100 per spin. At this bet the maximum line payout is only $700, but winning combinations occur very frequently leading to low variance.

Sinbad is the wild symbol and it expands to cover the entire reel when winning combinations are possible. The other symbols from the Sinbad stories are the princess that he rescues, the monstrous roc bird that he fights and his faithful sailing ship. You also have Arabian city, treasure chest, anchor and assorted gems as symbols. All symbols awarding line payouts appear stacked. On reel 1 the stacks are two symbols high. Then the stacks increase by one unit till the stacks on reel 6 are 7 symbols high. An interesting feature is that the princess, roc and ship appear as a single image of the required stack height.

Sinbad’s Golden Voyage offers a free spins feature as well. The scattered gold coin on reels 2, 4 and 6 trigger 7 leviathan free spins. The stacks are reversed with the 7 symbols high stack appearing on reel 1 for bigger wins. There is a leviathan wild consisting of 13 symbols on 3 adjacent reels depicting a sea monster that may appear in any of the free spins.
