BONUS GAMES & FEATURES
There special symbols in the game are the wild and scatter.
- Wild – represented by the Chinese man, this symbol substitutes for a missing one so you can form a winning line. It cannot substitute for the scatter symbol. If the wild is used to form a winning line during the free spins bonus, you would get a random multiplier of either 3x, 6x, or 8x. That multiplier is used for that win only.
- Scatter –the scatter symbol is a rabbit. If you land at least three on adjacent reels on the grid, the slot would reward you with coins.
Here is what you can win at the maximum bet of $250:
- 5x – $5,000
- 4x – $2,500
- 3x – $750
The scatter symbol also pays out free spins bonuses. You can win 8, 10, or 16 free spins. You would only receive this bonus if the scatter symbols are on adjacent reels, and if the first symbol appears on the first reel.
SUMMARY
The game’s payline structure seems to make winning a tad easier than other slots. The symbols do not have to land on specific spots, as all you need is to make them fall on adjacent reels, beginning at the leftmost reel.
While landing combos is easy, getting paid for the scatter is difficult as it operates differently from other slots machines. In other games, the scatter can land anywhere and you get a prize. Here, they must be in adjacent reels, and the scatter combo must be start from the first reel to get paid free spins.
The prizes are high compared to the bet sizes, and there is no need to calculate your wins since the paytable changes automatically. Overall, this slot deserves 7.8 out of 10 points so it is worth playing.
