The Voyages of Sinbad

2by2 Gaming is a small company that may not have cutting edge graphics, but their releases are always rich in detail, with meaningful and inventive features, and creative themes. Such is the case with The Voyages of Sinbad. Featuring Sinbad the Sailor, this slot revisits the middle- eastern seafaring tale of mythical and otherworldly creatures.

The Voyages of Sinbad theme

Just in case you need help finding your way around the reels, developers placed worn out nautical map in the background of the slot. Sinbad’s adversaries from the seven voyages he has undertaken are placed on the reels. Polyphemus the giant Cyclops from the third voyage, gigantic roc egg from the fifth voyage, villainous seahorse he encounters in the first adventure are joined with various cannibal savages and large predatory birds. Sinbad’s ship carried him around the world from the exotic city of Baghdad guided by his trusty compass. Images of pretty lady and a coin purse represent what Sinbad was fond of in his life of leisure between the travels.

Betting options

This is a 5 reel slot with 20 pay-lines total. You can set the number of lines to your desired amount. The lowest amount placed per line is 1 penny, and the highest you can play is 1 dollar. That makes range of bets per spin from $ 0.01 up to $ 20. This is fairly satisfying range that will allow you to take relatively low risks and potentially win a maximum jackpot of $ 2000. The reels do spin quite slowly for an unusually long, so that it may seem that there is some kind of glitch happening when in fact the game works that way.

Special features

Features and bonuses in this slot revolve around Scatters and Wilds. Unlike some other recent slots from this developer, this game has them standard and straightforward. There is not much thinking required before you sail off with Sinbad to claim your fair share of marine loot. And generous as he was, he may even double the gold in your pouch.

Bonus symbol is Sinbad holding his curved scimitar sword. At least 3 of these landing at the same time on the reels will get you 12 free spins. Any wins you may get here will be doubled. One interesting deviation from the standard is the fact that Sinbad also serves as a Wild symbol that can replace any regular ones to complete winning combinations, as well as Scatter symbol.

For the duration of Free Spins feature, any regular symbol from the reels 3, 4 or 5 has a chance to become the Mystery Scatter. This symbol then pays according to the pay-table and can make scatter combinations.

In order to avoid the features being dull and overly simplified, there is a theoretical chance for the free spins and Mystery Scatter to be triggered indefinite number of times, or more accurately, to be retriggered infinitely.

Our take

While it may not have the diverse bonus games we are used to from 2by2 Gaming, The Voyages of Sinbad is still a reasonably good game. You don’t have to risk much to have a chance at more than agreeable jackpot.
