THE SYMBOLS
Low value symbols come in the form of the high end of a deck of cards, with 10 through to Ace. If the right amount of matching combinations land on a single spin then these symbols can offer between x0.1 and x1.6 the player’s bet.
Golden fish, frogs and cats depict the medium value symbols, offering between x0.5 and x4 the player’s preferred stake.
High value symbols are represented by golden ingots, boxes and three golden coins. These symbols can offer between x1.2 and x10, depending on the amount of winning combinations that land at once.
A queen and a dragon depict the wild symbols, offering a payout of x5 the player’s bet for any five-of-a-kind wins with these wild symbols.
Free spins text symbols are also included, triggering one of three free spins features if three or more land on the reels in one turn. These symbols can offer a payout between x1 and x10, depending on the amount of symbols that land on a winning payline.
Finally, gold coin scatters can land on the reels, depicting cash values anywhere between x1 and x15 the player’s bet, or values representative of the jackpot prizes.
THE DETAILS
During the base game, wilds will expand to fill out entire reels to increase the win potential of each spin. The wilds will then present a multiplier value to be attributed to any wins they contribute to.
The queen wild can offer a multiplier between x3 and x7, whereas the dragon can offer between x2 and x5. If both a dragon and woman wild land on the same reels, then they will combine when expanding and offer a multiplier value between x5 and x50.
The wild multiplier is selected by a wheel that spins on the wild’s reel, selecting the multiplier value from the respective wilds range. This wheel can also select a scatter coin symbol, which awards the cash values of all scatter coins on the board rather than awarding a multiplier.
When three or more free spins symbols land on the reels, players are presented with the choice of three game modes with varying volatility levels. The first option is multiplier boost, which has a medium volatility.
In this game mode, players are awarded 12 free spins as a special arrow symbol is introduced. Landing this arrow symbol will award an additional free spin while increasing the multiplier values of the wilds by a value of one to three.
The next option is extra exotic, which offers 10 free spins with a high volatility. During this feature, chinese fans and dragon eggs symbols are introduced. Fan symbols that drop into play will be attributed to a meter above the reels and landing a certain amount will cause medium value symbols to turn into queen wilds.
Once enough medium value symbols have been upgraded to wilds, players can land further fan symbols to cause higher-paying symbols to upgrade to queen wilds. Landing dragon egg symbols will do the same but symbols upgrade to dragon wilds instead. Another three scatters landing on the reels will award an additional 10 spins.
The final option is extreme XXX, with a very high volatility level. This game mode offers eight free spins as the wild multipliers increase significantly in value, with dragon wilds offering between x10 and x50, queen wilds providing between x10 and x100 and dragon queen combined wilds giving between x100 and x500.
