Silk Road Endorphina Slot Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Silk Road (Endorphina) Review

Silk Road is an adventurous video slot crafted by the iGaming provider Endorphina. It's based on a theme for the legendary Silk Road, a trade route that once connected East and West. Given the source, we were not surprised by the premium quality of all graphics and animations and by the captivating sound effects.

On an almost magical background of the pinkish skies just before sunset, in an oasis somewhere across the desert is placed a standard grid with 5 reels and 3 rows. Players can choose to activate from 1 to 9 paylines, orientated from left to right and starting from the leftmost column always.

Silk Road is translated into 20+ languages and is playable on desktop, mobile devices, and laptops. It is compatible with Linux, iOS, Windows, and Android, thanks to flawless HTML5 optimization. The gameplay is fast and smooth, but players can turn on a couple of useful features for even better performance - Autoplay and Turbo.

Silk Road Slot RTP, Features & Great Payouts

The Silk Road RTP rate is 96.04%, and despite the fact that could have been slightly higher, it corresponds well with the featured medium levels of volatility. Payouts are relatively common and in good sizes, but longer periods of drought are also to be expected.

The range is configurable, and some online casinos may offer the title as a pure penny slot. If played with only one active line, the stake could be indeed 1p, but we do not advise spinning the reels with fewer than 9 lines. Thus, the default betting range should be from £0.09 to £54 per spin.

The wild Merchant substitutes for all symbols except Scatter and pays for 1 to 5 matches on a line, while the other regulars require at least 2 (10s only) or 3 matches. Wild Merchant pays from 1x to 5,000x the coin value, while Necklace, Chest, and Spices award up to x1,000, x500, and x250. The low-valued symbols are A, K, Q, J, and 10.

Silk Road offers two types of scatters, and the Gold Coin only pays cash for 3, 4, or 5 in view anywhere on the grid - 45x, 180x, or 900x the coin value.

During the bonus spins, the Merchant on Camel scatter becomes wild and can substitute for all regular symbols. Moreover, Free Spins is played with a Walking Wild feature on, and all wild scatters will move one position to the right with every spin until they reach reel 5. More than one symbol can be in play at the same time, and extra free spins can be won!

Finally, the online slot is packed with a Risk Game, which can be played up to 10 consecutive times per turn. Players need to beat the dealer's hand by picking one of the four cards face-down. A win doubles the current payouts, while a loss ends the feature, and all money will be lost. The feature offers a Joker card that beats all the others, and only players can have such!

A Few More Words

Silk Road is one of those online slots in which the small details make the difference. We like how the Free Spins game is organized despite the lack of other bonuses. Two extra features are in play:

Sand Storm - if the Merchant on Camel enters one of these, it'll be lost and removed from the grid Chest of Gold - each symbol in view adjacent to one or more Merchants awards an instant cash prize from 2x to 50x the total bet for each Chest of Gold

The game offers numerous small and medium-sized payouts, and there is no cap set by Endorphina.
