Aldo’s Journey Slot Review

Marco? Polo! I’m sure Marco Polo would be mortified had he known that in 695 years after his death he would be reincarnated in the form of a gaming character named Aldo. Aldo is modelled off Marco Polo and the game follows Aldo’s journey of exploration that includes Italy, Persia, Mongolia and China, the exact journey that Marco Polo travelled. This fantastically designed game has great animation, with 5 different free spin features and a decent RTPRTP stands for “Return to Player.” The RTP describes the total bet amount that a game returns to players over millions of spins, and that figure is represented by a percentage. Table games, such as Roulette, typically have higher RTPs than many slots.
