WHITE ORCHID SLOT BONUS FEATURES There are no traditional bonus rounds in this slot. To initiate this game’s main attraction, players will have to land at least two scatters (White Orchids) on the center column. It is possible to activate up to a maximum of 130 free spins. White Orchid is an unusual online slot game, even by IGT standards. It doesn’t have a traditional theme, or, at least, not in the way that games like Texas Tea or Cluedo. You could say that White Orchid was designed to attract a different type of gambler – some reviewers have guessed that this slot is designed to attract women.
A Nature Themed Slot Featuring Over a Thousand Ways to Win
White Orchid is a slot which takes you back to nature, featuring the title symbol as the focal point. The White Orchid is joined by a frog, a cheetah and a butterfly on the reels. A male warrior type figure and a female with a flower in her hair might suggest the game looks back to an earlier time.
This game is made interesting as you have both win lines and the all-ways winning system. Yes, you pay more to use both formats, but you’ll enjoy an incredible amount of winning opportunities on every spin. Enter the free spins bonus feature and you’ll enjoy a large number of spins and even more winning chances.
At first glance, White Orchid seems like a standard slot with a 5×4 reel configuration. However, look closely and instead of five reels, you have 20 reels during each spin, each symbol spinning independently. This gives the possibility that a single symbol can literally fill the reels.
There are two winning systems in play. The first is the standard win lines, where you’ll find 40 in all. These come at the cost of 40 coins, while you can play 20, 10 or even just a single win line for 20, 10 or just 1 coin. When playing all 40 win-lines, you can also add the all-ways winning system into the mix. This system costs an additional 40 coins and gives you an additional 1,024 ways to win. The all-ways system means you win when landing symbols on consecutive reels from left, irrespective of the position.
Due to the different winning systems, there are two pay tables in action at the same time. The highest paying symbol is the sultry-looking female, who pays 5,000 coins for lining up on a win line, and 500 coins using the multi-ways format. The male warrior has pays of 2,000 and 350 coins, while the cheetah pays 1,000 and 250 coins. The final themed symbols are the frog and the butterfly which each pay 500/100 coins.
At the lower end of the pay table you’ll find the playing cards A, K, Q and J.
The wild symbol shows the title of the slot and will substitute for all symbols apart from the bonus scatter. This wild appears on reels 2, 3, 4 and 5 only. The wild can make a huge difference, especially during the all-ways format, as a single wild can enable a large number of wins.
To enter the free spins bonus round, you’ll need to land the White Orchid symbol 2, 3 or 4 times anywhere on the middle column. Hit just two orchids and you’ll win 10 free spins, while two orchids award you 15 free spins. Land the white orchid four times (filling the middle column completely) you’ll win the maximum 20 free spins.
This free spins feature is named ‘White Falls’ and throughout the feature the wild symbol in now replaced by the ‘White Falls’ title symbol. During the free spins the game has richer reels and more ways to win than in the base game. As an added bonus you can retrigger the free spins at any time. Hit another 2, 3 or 4 orchids and 10, 15 or 20 free spins will be added to your existing total.
This IGT designed slot features a background filled with pink blossom flowering on trees. This colourful backdrop is met with reels of green, which only adds to the ‘nature’ feel of the game. The game does have a slightly basic feel at times, with a lack of animation when a win is landed. Although, with the unusual all-action set up, and the 20 reels in play, you may not notice. The upbeat soundtrack adds energy to the game.
White Orchid is an enjoyable and entertaining slot. Having the option to play just a few win lines or the whole package (with more than a thousand ways to win) ensures this game can be enjoyed by all. You won’t be waiting many spins for a win here! The highlight of the game is certainly the free spins feature, where win opportunities are greater than usual, and retriggers are always a possibility. No, this slot might not make your top five, but the unique feel of the game makes it worth a spin.
