The reign of the tsars in Russian before their revolution were known for their opulence. Palaces were expressions of the royal family’s taste and affluence.
Decadent is a good word to describe the final years of the Imperial family. As an example, Faberge Eggs were best known by the ones made in during the reign of Nicholas II, the last Tsar of Russia. And that is where this online slots game takes place.
From the Microgaming line-up, Days of the Tsar is themed with the opulence associated with the last Imperial family of Russia. The graphics in this five reel, twenty five payline game are highly detailed—and remarkable accurate. The images of Nicholas II and his wife Alexandra Feodorovna, the last Tsar and Tsarina of Russia, look very much like the portraits that have survived the Russian Revolution. The animation is smooth, and, in the case of the Faberge Egg symbol, very well executed.
Other symbols in this online slots game include the Imperial Seal, a Statue of Nicholas and the Kremlin—although the royal family were based in St. Petersburg not Moscow where the Kremlin actually stands. Naturally the remaining symbols are the usual A, K, Q, J, 10 and 9 which are gilded to match the game.
Nicholas II is the Wild in this online slots game. He will substitute all symbols other than the Faberge Egg. He also offers the largest payout: 10,000 coins if you can land five of him on a payline.
The Faberge Egg is the Scatter and the key to triggering the free spins feature. If three or more Faberge Eggs are found anywhere on the reels at once fourteen free spins will become active, in which all winnings are doubled. But for every Faberge Egg that is landed during the free spins, another free spin is activated. I triggered the free spins twice will playing and wound up with 27 free spins the first time and 26 the second.
Overall this is not a bad online slots game to play. When I was playing I was only wagering $0.01 and 1 coin per payline for a total bet of $0.25 per spin. In total I wagered $43.25 and won $36.82, which is not too bad overall in terms of a slots game. Days of the Tsar is recommended for enjoyable yet non-serious play.
