Archibald: Oriental Tales Slot Machine - Play Archibald: Oriental Tales Slot Free

With an adjustable 50-line maximum setup, the game is reminiscent of the popular Gonzo’s Quest at first glance. Archibald Orient does not have falling reels, but it does offer an additional bonus feature, mystery symbol reveal and free spins, all of which give Gonzo a run for his money.

Introduction 

Archibald Orient appears to take its inspiration from the popular Gonzo’s Quest, with our hero in this game, Archibald, taking on the role of Gonzo. This game has 2 bonus features plus a random mystery symbol reveal, which more than compensate for the lack of cascading reels, which is the most glaring difference. 

Archibald Orient is a somewhat strange mash-up of the intrepid explorer Rich Wilde mixed with Gonzo’s Quest and an unusual-looking central character, Archibald, in a natty gold jacket. Despite this strange hybrid of styles, it is rather charming, although Archibald looks a bit deranged at times with his mad eyes and clenched fist, and we would probably cross the street to avoid him!

Whatever you make of Archibald, there is no denying his dance moves, so be sure to check him out when you land a decent win.

The graphics are fairly standard but get the theme across well enough, with a pleasant backdrop of elephants and lotus flowers. Oriental graphics make up the symbols, and the colors are different enough to easily identify a win, which can often be difficult in this style of game.

The soundtrack is non-intrusive and complements the game well, and the coins that fall and accompany a win are pretty cool. 

How to Play Archibald Orient

Archibald Orient Bonus Features & Free Spins 

The bonus features and Archibald’s dance moves are the real selling point in Archibald Orient, with two bonus features up for grabs, plus a mystery symbol reveal.

1. Free Spins - Getting three ‘Free Game’ symbols anywhere in view triggers the free spins bonus. However - and this is a significant drawback - it is possible to end up with zero free spins even if all three symbols land as you must choose a symbol to reveal how many, if any, free spins you have won. On the plus side, any winnings in free spins are subject to a x3 multiplier.
2. Bonus Game - Landing three ‘Bonus Game’ symbols anywhere in view triggers the bonus game. Archibald is faced with a choice of treasure chests, and you must pick one. This will send Archibald on his merry way (which must be seen to be believed) across the bridge, collecting monetary values on his way to the chest. 
3. Mystery Symbol Reveal - On random spins, a question mark symbol lands. At the end of the spin, it will transform into a symbol with the possibility of triggering a win. Mystery symbols can also transform into a wild. 

Overall Archibald: Oriental Tales Review 

Archibald Orient is great fun to play, although the possibility of getting zero free spins after eventually landing the feature could lead to some very dark thoughts about Archibald! It is certainly a welcome alternative to Gonzo’s Quest, with enough differences to make it comfortingly familiar whilst offering something new in the world of explorer themed slot games.
