Visuals
This game is set in Ancient China and the detail of this game is truly phenomenal. It almost feels too good for a slot machine, then again slot machines are downright works of art these days. Nonetheless, the game grid is laid against a landscape where you can see a temple in the distance with a golden roof and red walls. The temple is set on a tall cliff that looks rather impossible to get to. There is a man on a horse settled on another cliff, and he is dressed in traditional Chinese garb and seems to have several warriors with him, perhaps hinting that he is of higher status. This game is mobile phone friendly, so it can be played on the go via your smartphone or iPad.
Symbols
The monkey king is the wild symbol and the monkey king is equal parts intimidating and bizarre. The top paying symbol is the human king, who wears a traditional headpiece and a peaceful smile. He pays out 262.50 credits for a match of five. The next two highest paying symbols are the angry human warrior with a thick beard and the pig warrior, and both pay 140.00 for a match of five. The artwork of this game seems based on realistic art from ancient China, as there is something eery about the design of each character. The golden dragon pays out 56.00 for a full match and the white horse rewards 42.00 for a match of five. The pink lotus flower is the lowest paying premium symbol, and pays out 35.00 for a match of five. The lowest paying symbols are the A,J, K Q and 10 symbols which represent traditional card symbols and are a common trope to find among even modern slot games.
Special Features
The monkey king I mentioned earlier is a walking wild, and can award the biggest payout. If you land three monkey kings on the reels, the monkey king will walk sideways off of the reels and fill up the meter of the heavens. You can grab multiple wild wins this way before the monkey king vanishes. Every time he jumps over to a new reel, he'll add to the meter on the side. The ultimate goal is to fill the meter to the top.
The game also has a free spins feature, and while I would say the walking wilds is probably the most lucrative special feature this game offers, the free spins are still nice. You can land free respins by triggering at least three scatter symbols. Plus while the monkey king remains on the reels you'll receive respins, and when all monkey kings leave your reels your free spin rounds will end.
