REEL SYMBOLS
Set in ancient China, the slot machine is about emperors of old. Here, you will spin symbols that matter to Chinese dynasties of the past.
There are only four high-value symbols in the game, and these are:
- Chinese character (letter)
- Military captain
- Golden cup
- Open scroll
The slot’s wild is the Chinese emperor, and the scatter symbol is the double red doors to the palace.
BASE GAME SYMBOLS & PAYS
Below is the paytable for the high-value symbols. These numbers are multipliers that are applied to your bet per line. They do not change regardless of your bet size.
| PAYTABLE | ||||
| Number of Appearance in a Pay Line | SYMBOL | |||
| Chinese Character | Military Captain | Golden Cup | Open Scroll | |
| 5 | 200 | 150 | 125 | 100 |
| 4 | 50 | 35 | 35 | 30 |
| 3 | 35 | 25 | 20 | 15 |
Your bet per line depends on your coin size selection, which is between 0.01 and 1. The next step is to decide how many coins you want to wager per line. In this slot game, you can bet between 1 and 5 coins per line,
These selections will be multiplied to 50 pay lines. If you wagered a five coins with a value of 0.01, your total wager for that spin is 2.5. If you landed 4 symbols of the Chinese character, your prize is calculated as 50 coins x 5 coins x 0.01 = 2.5.
To win, you have to land three same symbols on any of the pay line positions. This combo must start form left to right, and the symbols must be on adjacent reels.
You can adjust the pay line count, but only active pay lines are paid a prize.
BONUS GAMES & FEATURES
Here are the game bonuses and special symbols.
- Wild – this symbol substitutes for all others except the scatter. The wild only appears in reels 2 and 4. If used as a substitute for a winning combo, the pay is doubled. The wild will expand and cover an entire reel if used for a win.
- Scatter –the scatter symbol awards not just coins but also free spins. With the scatter symbol, you can win any of the following:
- 5x – 50
- 4x – 10
- 3x – 2
The scatter pays are multiplied against your total bet, not your stake per line. If you trigger the free spins, you have to choose from five options. These options have different numbers of free spins and different multiplier values.
- Jackpot – the slot game has three types of jackpot called Metal, Crystal, and Diamond. You can win the metal jackpot by betting any amount. You can only win the diamond jackpot at any bet level but you have to activate all 50 lines.
The Crystal Diamond can only be won if you get the maximum bet possible. The value of the jackpot prize depends on the casino operator.
SUMMARY
This Spadegaming pokie has wilds, scatters, free spins, multipliers, and three types of jackpots that you can win through different bet amounts. The expanding wild is a welcome addition to its features, as it only expands if a win is already secured. The graphics are really terrible and will give you a headache as they are really fuzzy – ultra low HD. Overall, we are rating this slot 7.0 out of 10 points so it is very average overall and really nothing special of mention.
