Silk Road is one of Aristocrat’s innovative slot games, with five reels and three symbols on each reel, and 243 ways to win instead of the conventional pay lines. This structure utilizes Aristocrat’s Reel Power feature, enabling the player to hit matching symbols on adjacent columns from left to right, rather than finding them on the same pay line. The game is compatible with both Windows and Mac computers and laptops.
The Silk Road is based on the early travellers who discovered and established trade routes hundreds of years ago, between the traders and merchants of Europe and Asia.
Symbols All Follow the Asian Theme
Symbols in the game are influenced by this history of the Silk Road, and top quality 3D graphics include wine, Oriental artefacts, a Roll of Silk, a Chinese junk, the Fortified Gates of a Trading Post and a Golden ornamental Moth. There are trade ships and castles and traders in silk, and the lower paying symbols are the traditional playing cards, from nine through to the Ace. The background music is pleasant but not intrusive.
The Wild in the Silk Road is the Silk Roll, and can substitute for any other symbol in order to complete a winning combination, apart from the Scatter. The Wild will only appear on reels two and four. The Scatter is the Golden ornamental Moth. There are several bonus rounds in the Silk Road online slot.
Wilds and Multipliers
The Silk Road Wild will also give you a bonus round. Wilds only appear on reels two and four, and will trigger multipliers when they do arrive. If the Wild appears on reel two, any wins you may have made are multiplied by three. If you hit a winning combination with a Wild on reel four, your winnings will be multiplied by five times. If your winning combination includes Wilds on both Reel two and reel four at the same time, you will have your winnings multiplied by fifteen.
If you are lucky enough to land five of the Sultan symbols anywhere on the screen you will win Silk Road’s very attractive jackpot prize. It is worth playing the maximum bet, as that gives you better chances of landing the jackpot. Silk Road also has a AutoPlay function, which enables you to make up to one thousand automatic spins. There is also an Advanced Options option which lets you set the auto spins after making a certain amount of money, or after winning a bonus.

Free Spins Bonus Round
The Free spins feature is triggered by the appearance of the Scatter Moth. The number of free spins you are awarded depends on the number of Scatters you find in the spin. If you find three Golden Ornamental Moths you will be given ten free spins, and the appearance of four Scatters will give you fifteen free spins. If you manage to find five Moths on a reel you will be awarded twenty free spins. You can also reactivate the free spins round during the game, by landing more Scatters.
