When you see that a slot has been created by Playson, you can assume that it will look a picture - that's most definitely the case with Eastern Delights. Set inside a turban-wearing mystic's beautiful tent (Carry on Camping it ain't) and flanked by lush, green vegetation, the reels include playing card symbols alongside plates full of fruit, golden teapots, stunning peacocks and plates full of food. question mark which is the game's wild. It substitutes for everything bar the scatter and lamp.
The designs are all ornate and precise and give the impression of understated wealth - the action plays out to a haunting, subcontinental style soundtrack which matches the theme perfectly. It's all very classy.

More traditional free spins are on offer if you land 3 scatters – the Free Spins feature. You'll be awarded just 4 free spins to start with but with the Symbol Drop feature in play, there's plenty of scope to add. A maximum of 50 free spins are on offer during the feature!
Keep an eye out for the lamp symbol too - when it lands on the rightmost reel during the feature, it will blast all of the symbols on that horizontal row to get the Symbol Drop feature going.
