Eastern Emeralds

Eastern Emeralds review

Visually it is classic Quickspin: clean, polished, not overloaded. The high-paying symbols are a golden dragon, koi fish, a turtle, gold ingots and coins; the low pays are card royals. The green emerald is the wild and a phoenix is the scatter.

Multiplier wilds in the base game

The emerald wild substitutes for every regular symbol and lands with a multiplier from 1x to 5x. When two or more wilds take part in the same win, their multipliers are multiplied together. Two 5x wilds make a 25x win, and with wilds on several reels the base game can reach a 120x multiplier on a single line win. Most base-game wins are small, but this is what keeps the base game from feeling flat.

Destiny Free Spins

Three phoenix scatters on the middle reels (2, 3 and 4) start the Destiny Free Spins feature. Before the spins begin you choose one of four options, and each one trades spin count for multiplier strength on reels 2 to 5:

6 spins with 5x/6x/7x/8x wild multipliers (top possible win 16,003x) • 9 spins with 4x/5x/6x/7x (up to about 13,734x) • 12 spins with 3x/4x/5x/6x (up to about 5,922x) • 15 spins with 2x/3x/4x/5x (up to about 2,294x).

The 6-spin option is the high-risk pick: few spins, but every wild that lands is big. The 15-spin option is the safer, steadier choice. Being able to pick your own risk level is the best thing about the game.

Volatility and max win

Quickspin rates Eastern Emeralds as high volatility, and it plays like it. Expect long dry stretches in the base game, with most of the value coming from wild combinations and the free spins. The maximum win is 16,003x the stake, and it is only realistic from the 6-spin Destiny option. There is no jackpot.

How to play

• Set your stake (from 0.20 to 100 per spin at most casinos). All 20 paylines are always active.
• Wins pay left to right on adjacent reels, starting from reel 1.
• Watch for emerald wilds: they substitute for all regular symbols and their multipliers multiply together.
• Land three phoenix scatters on reels 2, 3 and 4 to start Destiny Free Spins, then choose your spin and multiplier option.
• Try the free demo first to see how often wilds connect before you play for real money.

Eastern Emeralds RTP

Quickspin publishes a 96.58% RTP for the standard version of Eastern Emeralds. A lower version at about 90.1% also exists, and in that version the maximum win is slightly higher. Casinos choose which version to run, so check the RTP in the game’s info screen before playing for real money.

Pros and cons

What we like

• Multiplying wilds make even the base game capable of big hits
• Four free spins options let you choose your own risk
• Very high 16,003x maximum win
• Clean design and a smooth mobile version

What could be better

• High volatility means long losing streaks are normal
• The free spins trigger is not frequent
• A 90.1% RTP version exists, so the casino you choose matters

Our verdict

Eastern Emeralds is one of Quickspin’s strongest high-volatility games. The multiplying wilds and the Destiny choice give it more depth than a typical 20-line slot. It suits players who are comfortable with swings and want a real shot at a big win. If you prefer a calmer game from the same studio, Sakura Fortune is a good alternative.
