Esmeralda is an online slot game that has an unusual theme and some unique gaming features. It is from the portfolio of the software provider Playtech and is live at online casinos like Omni Casino and Casino Tropez.

The slot game seems to be based on the opera Esmeralda, which is a retelling of the famous classic The Hunchback of Notre Dame. But the styling has a Latino touch. The reels are set in the opera stage and vibrant operatic music is played in the background. It is completely different from the background audio in other video slots and you should play with the sound enabled. Esmeralda as the fiery gypsy is the wild symbol. During the free spins it substitutes for the scatter symbol as well. Esmeralda also awards the top line payouts with a fixed jackpot of 15,000 coins or a progressive jackpot depending on the eligibility. The other thematic symbols are her Latin lovers, her ornaments and a guitar. The lovers have a payout of 1000 coins for five-of-a-kind combination. The playing card icons have been flamboyantly crafted in bright colors. This is a high variance slot game in keeping with the opera’s theme of intrigue.

The scatter symbol is the red rose and very unusually appears stacked on each reel. So you can have the entire reel set of 15 scatter symbols. Therefore the scatter payouts and free spins are structured in a unique manner. 5, 6 or 7 scatter symbols award two times the total bet. The action begins after that. 8 scatter symbols award 16 times the total bet and 15 free spins. Then the scatter payouts and the free spins both keep increasing. At the top 15 scatter symbols award 30 times the total bet and 70 free spins.

Esmeralda online slot offers a progressive jackpot, which is also different from the usual. It is triggered by getting five Esmeralda symbols on a payline when all paylines have been activated. It is different, because the amount of the progressive jackpot depends on the stake. Playing with a total bet of 25 credits awards the full progressive jackpot. Lower bets will pay a percentage of the progressive jackpot. Esmeralda also offers the Playtech gamble game. After any winning spin you can choose to double the payout or half the payout. If the card picked by you is higher than the dealer’s card you win the double game, otherwise you lose the staked amount.
