With 20 paylines, the slot game has wilds, scatter symbols, and free spins bonuses. It also has multiplier bonuses during the free spins feature.

Mazu is a sea goddess revered in China. Legend has it that Mazu was a human being and that her name was Lin Mo. Some called her Lin Moniang. According to history, Mazu live 900 years AD, and that she was a shaman who lived for only 27 years. Seafarers deified her, saying that she roams the coastal regions of Southeast Asia.

Now, Mazu is believed to be a powerful heavenly deity, also called to be the Queen of Heaven. There is a religion popular in Taiwan called Mazuism. There is a temple festival dedicated to Mazu in Taiwan the home of KA Gaming.

REEL SYMBOLS

Since the slot is based on the story of a sea goddess, the symbols in the game are related to the ancient story. However, the developer took a cartoonish approach. The goddess herself looks like a young girl, almost like a baby, and the rest of the symbols were designed to have a child-friendly look.

The high-value symbols are:

• Mazu
• Green-eyed creature
• Red-eyed creature
• Headdress
• Umbrella

There are six low-value symbols in the game that pay between $75 and $750 at the highest bet level. Plus, you will also spin the wild and scatter symbol.

BONUS GAMES & FEATURES

The game has wilds and scatter symbols that can boost your winning chances. Below is an explanation of the game’s features.

• Wild – the wild symbol in the game is the double triangular flag. It substitutes for all symbols except the scatter. The wild has no payout of its own, and it does not trigger any other bonuses like multipliers.

• Scatter –the scatter symbol is the drum. You need to land three or more scatter symbols to trigger the free games bonus round.

Before the free games begin, you have to make a choice out of three types. Here are your choices:

• 12 free games – initial multiplier of 1x that increases by 1x
• 7 free games – initial multiplier of 3x that increases by 3x
• 4 free games – initial multiplier of 18x that increases by 10x

The scatter symbol also pays the following at the max bet:

• 5x – $3,000
• 4x – $1,500
• 3x – $900

All multipliers will keep increasing until you are out of free spins.

SUMMARY

We will give this KA Gaming slot a rating of 6 out of 10 in our review. While the game format is simple, it could do a bit better with the bonus features. The wild has no other function than to substitute, and the only means to get more wins is through the scatter.

Even if you can choose how many free spins you want, landing three scatter symbols is a tad difficult considering that there are more than 10 symbols in the game.
