Under the imperial regime Russia was a land of extremes. The Tsars lived an opulent life with wealth beyond imagination. The people perforce, but ungrudgingly, had a simpler living. Two slot games from two different leading software providers to online casinos portray this disparity.

The online video slot from Microgaming portrays the regal Russian life. It is appropriately titled Days of the Tsar. The pomp and splendour of Tsarist Russia are displayed unashamedly. The reels have an ornate border and in the background you can see the popular Moscow monuments. The Tsar, as the man whose writ was law, is the wild symbol. It also awards the largest line payouts. Five Tsar symbols in an active payline deliver 10,000 coins. This adds volatility to the online slot game making it suitable for big wheeler dealers. The other thematic symbols include the Tsarina, the Kremlin, the statue and the royal seal. The playing card icons, though offering lower payouts, are elaborately designed in gold. The Faberge Egg is the scatter symbol. These jewelled show pieces were custom made for the Russian aristocrats and only a limited number exist. The Faberge Egg symbol also triggers the free games feature in which all payouts are doubled. Each Faberge Egg on the reel reveals a number and the total of these is the number of free games awarded. During the feature, each Faberge Egg appearing on the reels increases the number of free games by one. Days of the Tsar can be played at Microgaming online casinos like All Slots and Royal Vegas.

The Playtech Russia themed online slot is titled From Russia with Love. It depicts the more endearing and mass culture of the society. The symbols on the reels include the samovar, the lute, laced shoes and donuts. The onion is the wild symbol. It is an unusual choice perhaps for the onion shaped domes on the Russian monuments. The onion also awards the highest line payouts. Vodka, the popular Russian liquor, is the scatter symbol. The set of Matryoshka Dolls is the bonus symbol. These dolls of different sizes fit into each other and are the playthings of the poorer children. This symbol triggers the Matryoshka Bonus feature. You select dolls and each one awards a number of free spins. If you can complete five selections without drawing a booby then the payouts in the free spins are doubled. From Russia with Love can be played at Playtech online casinos like Mansion Casino and Omni Casino.
