Around the World Slots

Around The World is a video slot game by Ash Gaming, and has a rather obscure theme. The game pays tribute to a classic novel called Around the World in 80 Days by Jules Verne. Clearly, Ash Gaming knows a thing or two about video slots, because the unique theme of this game is enough to keep your attention. The game screen is colorful and memorable, and takes you on a journey around the world. This journey isn't complete without bonus rounds, scatters, wilds and more! This game is mobile phone compatible, and is usable on Android and IOS devices. You can play it in free play mode, or also play it in real money mode.

Whether you've read this novel or not, the basic story is universal. Essentially, a man travels the world in 80 days by train, ship and even an elephant. The game's background is as global as the novel, and features iconic monuments from different parts of the world. There is the Eiffel Tower, the Statue of Liberty, the Great Bridge of China, and the Great Sphinx. The graphics are retro in design, and resemble Victorian postage stamp artwork. All associated game symbols do an excellent job at complimenting the story, and include ships, trains, boats, elephants, camels and balloons. These are unusual ways to transport someone, but that's what makes this novel such a classic! This game has two wild symbols. There's the Around the World symbol, and the Traveler symbol. Both wilds will operate as a substitute for other symbols, except for the wilds, the scatter and the global bonus. The travel symbol carries with it a 2x multiplier, and any two appearing on the line will guarantee the wins are doubled.

The traveler is the highest paying symbol, and 5 of them on an active pay line award 10,000 coins. Wins will be multiplied by the stake per line except for the scatter. The coin values range from 0.01 to 25 coins per pay line, and the total bet you can place while playing is 500 coins. If you land the correct winning combination, you might even trigger a maximum payout of 100,00 coins.

Special Features

This game has an unusual Reverse Play feature. When this feature is activated, you'll win whenever you lose. Personally, as a longtime slot player, I've never heard of this sort of feature before, which makes Around The World a must-play in itself, especially for experienced slot gamblers looking for something new. You can switch on this feature and play in reverse, so if you land any non-winning combinations on selective pay lines, you'll win. You have flipped the coin and non-wins to earn you money, while winning combinations are the same as losing combinations. You can also auto bet, so you can activate between 10 and 25 automatic spins.

Final Thoughts

Around the World didn't disappoint. The game has a unique theme, but the unusual mechanic options, combined with the classic special features like the scatter symbols, and multipliers make the game worth it.
