The great thing about this slot game is that it is a two-way slot. What this means is that all winning combos pay from left to right or right to left.
To win, you have to land at least three same symbols on specific spots as described in the paylines. The symbols must be on separate side-by-side reels. The first symbol must either be on the leftmost or rightmost reel.
If you made a 5-symbol combo, you will only be paid once for that, not two times (once left to right and once) right to left.
BONUS GAMES & FEATURES
Here are the game’s special symbols that award bonuses.
- Wild – the wild is the mini-basket of three dim sums with the text “wild”. It is a substitute to a missing symbol to make a winning combo, except for the scatter.
- Scatter – the scatter symbol is the dim sum plate with leaves. It also has the text “scatter”. Landing three of it in any position would award you with 25 free spins. You cannot re-trigger more free spins while in the bonus round.
The scatter also pays money as shown below (for the highest bet):
- 5x – $2,000
- 4x – $1,600
- 3x – $1,000
All bets during the free spins round are the same with what triggered this bonus feature.
- Cascade – all symbols that are part of a winning combo in both the base game and the free spins round would be removed from the grid. The remaining symbols will collapse, and the empty spots above will be filled with new symbols.
Once the cascade is completed, the slot will re-assess if you made more winning lines, and then you will be paid. If you made three more scatter combo with this cascade feature, you will be paid but no free spins would be granted.
SUMMARY
We will rate this KA Gaming slot Dim Sum with 6.7 out of 10 points. Players would love the cascading feature because it is like getting free spins after winning. It is like as if your luck is doubled.
The 25 free spins is also generous, as most other slots would give you only five or ten free spins if you landed three scatters.
