Play English Rose for Free

Brew a pot of tea, think of England, and unleash your inner Anglophile as you open up this unabashedly British-themed game featuring all of the trappings one would find in 19th-century Victorian England. Fine tea, finer china, gentlemen dressed in dapper fashion, and women clothed in the finest dresses of the day all make an appearance.

While one’s upper-class sensibilities would not be complete with lettering and numbering designed in a manner most befitting an upper-class aristocrat. It actually feels like the creators of English Rose drew heavily upon the imagery of Pride and Prejudice, and it shows within the game’s very period-appropriate imagery and setting.

If you’ve played any of Casino Technology’s video slots games before (and you most likely have), the layout of the game should be immediately familiar. The previously mentioned visuals are rich and detailed, as is normal for most of their offerings.

The menu is laid out in a clean and presentable manner below, and the active paylines currently in play can be seen to the left and right of the reels. To top it off, the sound effects and animations compliment the scenery most excellently. The game’s strong design even extends to its coding, as the game does not result in the stutter and lag that is sometimes seen in other video slots games.

The game consists of a 5x3 reel layout with up to 15 paylines available for play. While this may seem a bit low, it is offset by the maximum coin denomination of 0.3 units of your chosen currency (minimum 0.01), plus a maximum jackpot of a hefty 200 coins. There are scatter and wild symbols in play, and you have the opportunity to win free spins. On the bottom are buttons that can toggle the game’s sub-menu, change the bet size, coin denomination used, and the number of paylines used respectively. You can also adjust the volume and sound effects, as well as make the game full-screen if you so choose.

There are an abundant number of opportunities to win big prizes. The game allows for higher bet sizes as well as a fat jackpot, plus with scatter and wild symbols in play, as well as the chance to earn lots of free spins, big wins are never too far from reach. You are limited to one coin per payline though, and there are no bonus games or progressive jackpots to speak of. However, there is a winnings multiplier in effect. When coupled with such a high jackpot, there is no reason why you can’t win enough to purchase your own royal title.

As an additional feature, English Rose gives you choice to “double up” if you don’t win a particularly large amount on a spin. You can bet either half or all of your winnings on guessing the suit or color of a facedown card, and if you guess correctly you multiply your earnings. While it is not a bonus game in the traditional sense, this really neat feature serves its purpose quite effectively, giving the risk-takers among you another way to increase your winnings.

English Rose represents yet another great offering from Casino Technology. Never one to skimp on their art direction, the company must invest quite a bit of their budget into the visuals considering how consistently great all of their games look. English Rose in particular makes no effort to downplay its theme, as every part of the game’s stylistic direction, from the gilded borders and glimmering symbols to the animations and sound effects, exude an aura of sophistication and class.

English Rose offers enough in the way of winnings to satiate the appetite of even the most avaricious gambler, and the “double up” feature will certainly appeal to anybody’s appetite for risk. If you are indecisive about what you want to play next in the way of video slots and not a fan of the other types of slots available, you will never go wrong by picking this cracker.
