Siberian Siren Slots

Siberian-SirenSiberian Siren is one of the games designed by Cryptologic, a slot machine which has an unusual inspiration, the action revolving around Siberian tigers, a white haired lady surrounded by ice (the Siberian Siren) and treasures. It’s an interesting mix, and if the developers wanted to create a slot machine that nobody else had made, then I think they’ve succeeded.

A maximum of 40 bet lines are used in this game, while as features it introduces wild symbols, free games and bonus icons. The prizes that are mentioned by the game pay up to $250,000.

Features of Siberian Siren

The Siberian Siren’s list of features includes free games, scatter symbols and wilds. It does things differently than other games which have the same features, but at their basis these are the same ones you’ve played in many other slots before.

The Siberian Tiger is the slot’s wild feature, a symbol capable of substituting for all the symbols in the game, with the exception of a Golden Tiger icon which is a wild during the free spins. Other than that, you can even use Siberian Tiger wilds to substitute for the symbols which trigger free spins. Their only downside is that they don’t have prizes of their own to offer, as they appear on all the reels of the slot with the exception of the first one. Together with a Siberian Siren symbol on the first reel, four Siberian Tiger icons can offer you the slot’s top jackpot, of 50,000 coins, but only if this happens on the first payline and during the base game.

Free Games Feature

A beautiful egg shaped chest is a symbol which can bring you free spins, but it’s not a scatter. It appears with 3 or more such icons on a line that is active, and on reels that are in consecutive order starting from the first position.

Siberian-Siren-freespins

You can get one free spin when you have three such symbols arranged just the way they’re needed. With four symbols, two spins are triggered. The maximum of five symbols will trigger just three spins. You can retrigger free spins if you get lucky again, with the limit here being 120 free spins, but I doubt you will ever get anywhere close to that number. It’s a disappointing feature all things considered.

Betting options and jackpots

The game uses a combination of coins per line, lines and coin denominations to determine how much you’re gambling. You can select 1 to 5 credits per line, with values that go up to $5 for each one. The line bet is $25 in that case, with the total being $1,000.

The game offers payouts of up to 50,000 times the line bet, but it can be incredibly difficult to get there. It can mean up to $1,250,000 cash, but it’s much more likely that you’re going to land a prize of $5,000.

Design and symbols

Cryptologic did a fairly decent job creating this slot machine. There is a certain Russian inspiration to the design of Siberian Siren, seen in the surrounding architecture, with columns being visible on both sides of the reels.

There are also symbols with a mix of ice and jewelry plus the Siberian Siren, which I’m not too sure if it’s something from the Russian legends, or something that Cryptologic made up.

Is It Worth Playing?

Its unusual theme, its very high top prizes (however unlikely to get they may be) and the graphics all recommend it as a game to at least try out.

The Siberian Siren slot machine is offered through the Cryptologic platform, so if you want to play it for real or just to practice, look out for casinos that use it.
