The Explorers Slot Review

Nowadays, we don’t really have real explorers like they did in the old days. Our predecessors would have to risk their lives finding new places to explore, while nowadays the furthest the majority of us go is to the shops and back. In reality, significant sites of exploration are marked by graffiti, cigarette butts, and a sign that says “Toilets this way.” We’ve mostly conquered all of the final frontiers, and it can all get a little bit boring. Sure, people on Instagram will try and fool you with photos of them in exciting places, featuring hashtags such as “#wanderlust,” “#traveller,” etc. but they’re just kidding themselves. It’s kind of sad.

Gameplay

The Explorers is a 5-reel, 15-payline video slot powered by software from EGT Interactive. This game is all about exploration and self-discovery, but not the kind that teenagers do when they dress goth and drop acid. No, this is all about old-timey, map-less, exploration and it’s more exciting for it. Symbols include a ships admiral, a buxom young woman, a hardy looking man, a map, a compass, and playing cards from Jack to Ace. The Scatter is represented by a remote island, and the Wild is represented by a ship. Controls are straightforward, and you shouldn’t get lost, but let’s go through them quickly. On your left, you’ll find your balance display, as well as the toggle which controls the sound, and the menu and information buttons. In the middle of the screen, you’ll see your coin credit levels and preset bets. Click any of the preset bets to get your reels spinning. On the right of the screen is the home button, and the display showing your last win.

Features

So, what features can you expect?
Gamble: To increase your winnings, you can click on the ‘gamble’ button, triggered after a winning round. All you have to do is guess whether the face-down card is black or red. Guess right, and you’ll double your winnings, but get it wrong, and you’ll be sent back to the base game empty-handed.
Wild: Substitutes for all symbols except Scatter. Doubles when substituting.

Unique Features

The Explorers offers some exciting features for you to sink your teeth into:

  • Jackpot Cards Mystery: A randomly triggered bonus that is activated when a Jackpot Cards stamped game is played. Each of the mystery jackpots is represented by one of the four suits: clubs, spades, diamonds, and hearts. You’ll have to pick 3 matching cards from a pick-field of 12 to be rewarded with the corresponding suits jackpot.

  • Free Spins: Appears on 3rd, 4th, and 5th reels. Triggers 10 to 25 Free Spins at a multiplier from x1 to x5.

Performance

EGT Interactive have very much left their exploratory phase behind them, and it’s a good thing. Their slots always perform well, with stunning graphics, fitting soundtracks, and excellent gameplay. The Explorers is no exception.

Conclusion

I really enjoyed playing this slot, and will definitely be returning to it. Keep an eye out for the Scatters, which can help boost payouts, and maintain your wits about you. Things can get sticky at any point when you’re trekking through unmarked territory.
