White Orchid Slot

Play White Orchid with up to 1,024 ways to win and a max jackpot of 5,000x for your bet. There’s a chance at scoring up to 130 free spins and 1,024 ways to win on every spin. But with all casino games, there are negative points to consider. Many of you will be less than impressed with the game's low RTP of 95.03%. Why not take a look at the rest of my review, play a few rounds and make your own mind up?

Should You Play White Orchid?

I recommend putting this on your list of games to try at least once. It has a cult following with physical slot fans and this online version successfully replicates the original magic. The max win is generous and there’s a medium volatility to the gameplay. The betting range is broad and you can play this one from just €0.01, whilst high rollers should be able to appreciate the large max bet potential. 

Enchanted Gameplay

My first impression was that I’d be playing over 5 reels, 4 rows and 40 paylines. After further examination, I realised that the payline button could be increased to give up 1,024 ways to win. This in turn increased my bet size.

I kicked off my testing with the minimum bet of €0.01 and 1 line,  but this can go up to €1,600 per spin. It all depends on your coin value and the number of lines you’d like to play with.

After checking over the paytable I found that there are various ways to create a win. If you just play with lines then 3,4 or 5 matching symbols will get you a prize. I played with the Multiways feature though which meant that 4 or 5 matches got me some wins. 

There are a couple of high-value animal symbols as well as the main characters, a man and a woman. While the lower-paying icons are the royals. Here’s what you could win if you bet with the max:

What’s the Story Behind the White Orchid Slot?

White Orchid was originally a hit in land-based casinos and in 2010 IGT’s online casinos were graced with an adapted version for iGaming. Since then it has continued to be a hit with players. The game is set on a beautiful backdrop of flowers and has a jungle animal theme. The game's human characters are reminiscent of Tarzan and Jane. 

Traditional Design and Simple User Experience

I must admit that my first thoughts on the game's visuals weren’t good. Things look tired and the soundtrack hasn’t probably changed since it was first launched for brick-and-mortar casinos. On the plus side, this means that the game plays without any distractions and you can turn the sounds off at least.

Overall I found the game to be user-friendly and straightforward, something which IGT slots are well-known for. There’s great mobile compatibility though the graphics were a bit much when squished onto my smartphone screen.

White Orchid Wilds and Bonus Features

These follow the direction of most online slots with a free spins game. This does have the potential to serve up some great fun though. A glance over the paytable also revealed that the reels in this feature are ‘richer’. This means more higher-paying symbols and better payout potential.

The game's logo is the Wild and substitutes for all other symbols except for the Orchid Scatter. This can land on reels 2,3, 4 and 5 only. I had a lucky spin and managed to land 4 stacked on one reel which resulted in a tasty boost to my profits.

Win up to 130 Free Spins

I triggered this round by getting 2 of the White Orchid flowers on the centre reels. But you can get access with 2+ but these must land on the middle reels. 

With my 2 bonus symbols, I got an instant 10 free spins but there are 20 up for grabs:

Unfortunately, I wasn’t lucky enough - but you can re-trigger the free spins. This could give you up to 130 free games!

Play White Orchid in 3 Steps

It’s very easy to get started and there are just a few steps to take before making your first bet:

1. In the blue top menu head into both the Paytable and Rules. Familiarise yourself with the symbols and other important info.

2. Choose your total bet size based on the lines and coin value. 

3. Fix a budget and click the yellow spins button. Good luck!

This classic online slot features 1, 10, 20 and 40 basic paylines. So if you place a 0.01 coin value wager on 10 paylines the total bet size will be €0.10. To play with the max bet of €1,600 you will need to activate the 40+ Multiway lines and a coin value of 20.

What’s the RTP of White Orchid?

This is 95.03% which is lower than the 96% I prefer to play with. The volatility is medium when you play with 40 paylines and reduces to low-medium if you activate the Multiways.

I tested out the game with a variety of bets from a minimum of €0.01 per spin right up to the max of €1,600. I used all the paylines as well as many rounds with the Multiways which give 1,024 ways to win. 

How Can You Improve Your Chances of Winning at White Orchid?

If you play with the regular paylines then 3,4 or 5 matching symbols will get you a win. These pay left to right and are calculated by coin value. If you add in the Multiways then you’ll score wins from 4 or 5 matching symbols. The higher payers are the man, woman and cheetah in all cases. Of course, the Multiways will give you more chances to win but this is at the cost of a larger bet.

My Top Tips To Boost Your White Orchid Sessions

The most important thing with this game is to have fun. IGT has built some responsible gaming tools into the auto spin feature. These will allow you to set a loss limit and stop the game automatically at the value you select.

Whilst playing White Orchid I did test out a few strategies, here are my most effective:

• Play with the full range of ways to win but only if your budget allows it.

• Enjoy the slot in free play mode and do so for as many rounds as you like. This will give you time to build up your confidence before making a real money bet.

• Don’t assume that the max bet and Multiways combined will serve you up a win. Most of my profits came from a medium-sized bet and the standard paylines.

My Personal Experience of Playing White Orchid

Overall I find IGT games to be a bit old-fashioned and the same goes with this one. I think the developer could have added in some more bonuses and HD graphics would look much more appealing.

The theme is a bit obscure though I did like the Multiways option. This gave some more explosive potential to my testing rounds. My larger wins naturally came from the free spins. However, I did not do too badly in the base game. The larger bets I placed did not yield as much as I expected though.

How I Tested White Orchid

I used my iPhone and iPad. Each device gave me a super experience, the game quickly adapted between portrait and landscape modes. The iPad was a little more effective when toggling between choosing the paylines and coin size though.
