Thai Sunrise is the first slot machine that I’ve seen created with direct inspiration from one of the most popular travel destinations in the world, Thailand. This gorgeous country has some of the most hospitable people in the world, beautiful views and at the same time it can be as busy and cheap as any other Asian country. This is a game that was created especially for the many fans of Thailand, that have either went there or want to visit it at some point.
The 5 reels in Thai Sunrise are populated with a maximum of 25 bet lines. The mix of wild and scatter symbols is not special, and the same can be said about the free games or the multipliers, but having them all in one place is a good first sign that it’s an enjoyable game. While playing this slot machine, the ultimate target would be the $120,000 top jackpot, as long as you can afford the bets that will get you that kind of value out of the 6,000 coins.
Features of Thai Sunrise
Just like a trip to Thailand would be, the game is full of things for you to do and experience. In this case, I’m talking about the various features offered, starting from the free games with multipliers, and continuing with the feature symbols (scatters and wilds).
Thai Girl gets the main role in the game, the symbol that can substitute for almost any other that the slot can get, with the one notable exception being the Sunrise scatter. Getting the Thai Girl in the right position on a payline means having a couple of matching symbols there already, so that the Girl can just substitute for the one that is missing. That would get you a new combo, but it’s far from a sure thing. There is another way that the wild can help you out, through the prizes that it can offer on its own, if multiple Thai Girls are on a payline. Instead of helping you form other combinations, they will award prizes of up to 6,000 coins.
The Thai Sunrise that the title mentions can be admired in the only symbol with a scatter role that the slot has. You can get both cash prizes and free spins from it, but the minimum requirement is different. When there are a minimum of two scatters on the reels, there are prizes awarded that go from 2x to 100x the triggering bet, the bigger amount being for five scatters.
Free Games Feature
You need 3+ Thai Sunrise scattered symbols, meaning that their exact position is not important, as long as they’re there. The reward is a round of 15 free spins, plus you get triple the usual value for all the prizes.
Betting options and jackpots
With its bets going from $0.01 to $500, you can rest assured that the slot is playable by pretty much anyone that wants to give it a chance. Even with all the paylines selected, you can still bet as little as $0.25, though the actual value of the prizes will not be that impressive. The highest denomination of a coin is $20, while the lowest one is $0.01.
There are 6,000 coins on the table, offered through the best combo of the game, the one that has only wild symbols in it. Depending on how much you were willing to risk that round, the value could be as high as $120,000.
Design and symbols
The Thai theme would be special enough on its own, but they’ve included the sunrise part as well, and they did a great job at it. The light blue color of the night, as it slowly turns into day, is used pretty much everywhere, but it’s visible especially in the background image. Asian style letters and various Thai or Chinese symbols are part of the symbols found in the game.
Symbols: Thai Girl (wild, 6,000 coins), Sunrise (scatter, 100 times the triggering bet), Lotus Flower (1,000 coins), Tuk Tuk (250 coins), Buddha Statue (200 coins), Hand Fan (200 coins), Ace (150 coins), King (150 coins), Queen (100 coins), Jack (100 coins), Ten (100 coins) and Nine (100 coins).
Is It Worth Playing?
Despite being a very popular travel destination, Thailand is rarely visible in slot machines, so if you’re a big fan of the country chances are that you’re not going to find a slot that is better than this one, with the same theme. It pays quite well also and it has all the right features, so I’d say it’s worth both your time and money.
You will find Thai Sunrise at any online casino which chooses to use software from Cryptologic, playable either for free or for real money.
