Russian Glory Slots
If you like your slots to feature a bold graphical design and a simple user interface, Cayetano Gaming’s Russian Glory might just be the game for you.
Essentially a very straightforward 5 reel, 10 payline title, Russian Glory doesn’t attempt to dazzle players with any complicated rules or features but instead relies on the strength of its main bonus game to keep them coming back for the prospect of truly epic wins.
Playable from as little as £0.10 per spin, Russian Glory is perfect for players on more stringent bankrolls as it gives regular access to a “wheel of fortune”-style feature where a maximum win of 1,000x your stake is always up for grabs. As such, despite its all-round simplicity, players will find the slot packs plenty of prize money punch and is a lot less volatile than many of Cayetano’s other titles.
Russian Revolutions
As mentioned above, Russian Glory is a pick-up-and-play title that doesn’t require much configuration before you get started. The game’s 10 paylines are fixed meaning players only have to worry about their total bet each spin, with limits starting at just £0.10 and stretching up to £1,000.
For that investment, players will win a prize of at least half their stake for matching three of the game’s lowest value icons, with prizes steadily increasing all the way up to 500x the total bet amount for finding a wild symbol on each reel in a valid formation. Additionally, there is a special Faberge egg icon that only appears on the central reel, and this triggers an instant prize of 50x your stake.
Beyond that, the reel heft of Russian Glory comes in the form of the game’s bonus wheel, where a jackpot prize of 1,000x your stake is up for grabs. Triggered whenever three “Bonus Wheel” icons appear on the gameboard, this feature guarantees players a prize, with the wheel continuing to spin until the jackpot has been won or the pointer lands on “collect”, returning them to the base game.
Five-Star Visuals
Although it features a fairly simple design, Russian Glory is a bold slot that uses bright colours and well-designed icons to denote its various win amounts. Set in the marbled hallways of a Russian palace, the slot’s colour scheme matches the flag of the country, with red, blue and white all featuring prominently alongside glittering gold fixtures and those priceless instant-win Faberge eggs.
As with most Cayetano Gaming slots, Russian Glory does include the standard Ace-through-10 playing card symbols, but beyond that players will find a range of country-specific iconography including a decorative red cross, a wooden box and key, a jewelled crown, a Russian prince and his princess and a special gold double eagle wild symbol that can be substituted for any regular icon.
The slot also features traditional Russian music playing in the background, with winning paylines and the bonus feature both greeted by a range of sound effects that are thankfully unique to the game.
The Wheel Deal
There is only one bonus feature present in Russian Glory, but as we mentioned earlier, it is an incredibly generous one that will usually result in players walking away with a substantial prize award. Triggered whenever the “Bonus Wheel” icon appears on reels 1, 3 and 5, players will be transported to a wheel that is sectioned into 12 different spaces as they spin their way to big wins.
On this reel, players will find a series of instant-win cash amounts, a collect button, the jackpot prize and a section entitled “Golden Wheel”. While the first three are self-explanatory, the fourth will transport you to a second more valuable wheel, where only six sections are available, with larger cash prizes and the jackpot being far easier to hit and no collect button present to end the feature.
Players can continue spinning either wheel until the jackpot is triggered or the pointer stops on collect. This means that on a particularly good run, you can win several big prizes AND the jackpot, resulting in payouts that actually far exceed the 1,000x top award quoted on the slot’s rules page.
Chip off the Old Bloc
Despite being a fairly basic game, we actually found Russian Glory to be one of the more enjoyable slots in the Cayetano Gaming catalogue. The reason for this is that the bonus round is relatively easy to trigger and you’re almost assured of a big when you do activate it, meaning you’re constantly on the edge of your seat waiting to see what rewards your next trip to the bonus wheel will bring.
