Theme

This slot combines a traditional comic book aesthetic with Imperial China. Net Entertainment have released slots like this one before; think Jackhammer and its sequel, but this is the first time I have seen them meld it together with an Asian theme. The symbols look hand drawn and the background looks like a panel from a comic book. It is bright and colourful, a real feast for the eye.

Special Symbols

Wild – The Wild symbol is the “Chinese Writing”, which will substitute for all symbols other than the Free Spins symbol.

Free Spins – The “Dragon” symbol is the Free Spins symbol. You need 5 or more of them to trigger the Free Spins feature.

Bonus Features

Sticky Win – Whenever you land a winning combination the symbols involved will stick in place and, whilst the remaining symbols spin again. If you add to your existing win you will be given another respin, a process that will continue as long as you keep adding to existing wins. Sticky wins will also trigger if you land 3 or more Free Spins symbols, but not the full 5 needed to start the feature. If you add to those 3, then you will be given another spin and is you add to those 4, you will trigger the Free Spins.

Free Spins – 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9 plus Free Spins symbols will award 10, 15, 20, 25 or 30 Free Spins respectively. 30 is the maximum number you can trigger so even if you get more than the 9 symbols you won’t get any more Free Spins. All coin wins are multiplied by 3.
