Eastern Fury Slot (Pragmatic Play)

The Eastern Fury slot has 5 reels, 5 rows and 15 fixed paylines. Winning combinations are formed when 3 or more matching symbols appear from left to right, starting from reel 1, and on any position. Only the highest win per payline is awarded.

The minimum bet is 20p a spin, with the maximum at £5 in the UK (or £2 if under 25). Non-UK players have the added functionality of 2 Turbo Mode settings as well as Autoplay.

The Eastern Fury RTP rate is 96.53%, which is significantly higher than the 96% slot average but on par with other Pragamtic Play titles. With 95.49% and 94.53% RTP versions, this makes a difference based on a £20 balance and playing at 20p a spin. The number of expected spins before running out of funds is as follows:

• 96.53%: 2,854 spins
• 95.49%: 2,196 spins
• 94.53%: 1,810 spins

Medium volatility, a win will land, on average, every 4.2 spins as the hit frequency is 23.81%. To trigger the Free Spins feature, it will take approximately 289 spins. In terms of win potential, Eastern Fury comes with 10,000 x bet max wins. Your chances of winning this is 1 in 4,255,319 spins and winning 1,000 x bet or higher is 1 in 36,844 spins.

With an Asian/crime theme, the Eastern Fury slot sees rival gangs battle for dominance. This isn’t your typical Asian-themed slot game as you head into the basement of a crime gang headquarters where you’ll see guns, knuckledusters, takeaway food and blood-splattered walls.

With a typical Asian soundtrack, you’ll see a menacing tattoo-covered gang member to the side of the reels who is holding 2 golden guns and smoking a cigarette. On the reels, you’ll see rats, phoenixes, snakes, tigers and dragos as the low-value symbols. The higher-value symbols include 5 gang members with the top-paying symbol awarding 10 x bet for 5 in combination.

Look out for the Wild West East symbol that substitutes for all paying symbols and pays 10 x bet for 5 in combination. Other special symbols including a Gun Scatter, a Gun Super Scatter and VS Expanding Wild symbol.

Made using HTML5 technology, Eastern Fury can be played on mobile, tablet and desktop devices, including iOS and Android smartphones (with mobile play in Portrait Mode).

Eastern Fury focuses on VS Expanding Wild symbols that can lead to 3 multiplier wild reels in the base game and sticky multiplier wild reels in the free spins. In the ‘Super’ version, the minimum multiplier value is higher at 10x.

Expanding Wild with Multiplier

There is a VS Expanding Wild symbol that substitutes for all paying symbols. When it lands on reel 5, the VS Expanding Wild symbol expands to fill the reel, with 2 multipliers worth between 2x and 100x battling it out.

If the respin doesn’t result in a win, it stays in position and with another respin awarded with 1 more VS Expanding Wild symbol landing on reel 4. If that doesn’t produce a win, they both are sticky and a VS Expanding Wild appears on reel 3. All 3 expanding wilds remain in place until a winning combination forms.

Lastly, the winning multiplier values apply to all wins passing through them with multiplier values added together when 1 or more are part of the same winning combination.

Free Spins

The Free Spins feature is triggered by landing 3 or more Gun Scatters with 3, 4 or 5 awarding 10, 15 or 20 free spins, respectively. If 1 of them is a Super Gun Scatter, you’ll play the ‘Super’ version of the feature.

On the first free spin, a VS Expanding Wild lands on reel 5. Subsequent VS Expanding Wilds land on reels 4, 3, 2 and 1. All VS Expanding Wilds are sticky with the multiplier awarded in place. In the ‘Super’ version, the multiplier values range from 10x to 100x.

Ante Bet, Super Spin & Bonus Buys

Additionally, there are a number of Ante Bet, Super Spin and Bonus Buy options available. With Bonus Buys not available in the UK, below are all the details:

• Ante Bet: costing 5 x bet, there is a 11 x chance of triggering the free spins (RTP is 96.51%)
• Super Spin 1: costing 20 x bet, it guarantees a VS Expanding Wild on every spin (RTP is 96.5%)

Eastern Fury Slot

Rating: 4/5

Eastern Fury is an Asian/crime-themed slot that focuses on multiplier wild reels that are sticky in the free spins for up to 10,000 x bet max win potential.

Chris Taylor

In contrast to typical Asian-themed slots such as Push Gaming’s Big Bamboo, Hacksaw Gaming’s Densho and Quickspin’s Sakura Fortune 2, the Eastern Fury slot is gritty and more in line with crime-themed slots thematically. Stepping away from Pragmatic’s long line of candy-themed games, the visuals are edgy and compliment recent releases including Sunnydaze Asylum, Hell Butcher and Sanatorium Secrets.

In terms of the gameplay, Eastern Fury is all about the VS Expanding Wild symbol: 2 multiplier values battle it out and apply to any wins passing through it. Whilst I like this feature, it does play out like the DuelReels mechanic from Hacksaw Gaming (found in games such as Wanted Dead or a Wild and Bullets and Bounty). That said, the expanding wild symbol does appear in Zeus vs Hades - Gods of War.

First appearing on reel 5, non-winning spins will see more VS Expanding Wilds appear with up to 3 possible on base game spins. In the Free Spins feature, VS Expanding Wilds are sticky throughout the feature with the ‘Super’ version awarding minimum multiplier values of 10x, and up to 100x.

With 10,000 x bet max wins, Eastern Fury is thematically superb and has the potential for big wins, especially is the VS Expanding Wilds stack up during the free spins. For the bigger wins, you need 3 VS Expanding Wilds to combine in the free spins. If you like the theme, you cannot go wrong with Dead Riders Trail and Money Train 4 (both by Relax Gaming).
