Huangdi

Microgaming’s five-reel slot, released in January 2017, is a great treat for Eastern culture lovers. Designed for mobiles, tablets and computers, the game will draw you into the world of Chinese culture, history and religion, with its famous Yellow Emperor at the front. More practical side of the game does not lack in beauty either.

The standard five-reel, three-row grid, full of symbols associated to Chinese culture, will offer only 25 paylines. Do not feel discouraged yet. What makes the game more interesting in terms of payout are Expanding Symbols. During the base game, any complete stack of symbols on reel 1 will expand to all the matching high symbols on all the other reels. However, during the Free Spins, in addition to the same feature from the base game, the stacked symbols from the reel 1 expands also to the Wilds on the remaining reels. But if you think that’s all, hold on. As usual, East has more to offer than you can see on the surface. We also have the Dragon Scatter, which if landed on three, four or five positions, will trigger fifteen Free Spins. The Wild though, in the form of a game logo, will be stacked only to reel 1 during the Free Spins, which can, by the way, be retriggered. The Emperor Wild, as expected, can appear on all the reels.

The game offers simple wagering system. By clicking the Bet button you choose one of the 10 betting values. That means you can bet from $0.25 – $125 per s spin. Microgaming obviously has a tendency of simplifying betting modes and options, since neither Autoplay or Bet Max are included. The number of paylines is also fixed. However, the strongest symbol is, of course, the Yellow Emperor, which, if landed on 5 positions, provides you with the 200 times multiply. It sounds too weak for the man who created the Chinese culture, but the trick is in how often the wins occur. Again, East teaches us to be patient.

The world of strength, wisdom and bravery is depicted though symbols that carry us straight into the Chinese world created by our hero, the Yellow Emperor. Lower value symbols are playing card letters and numbers that are created in accordance with the theme. On the other side, the higher value symbols that stack only on reel 1 are Eastern war symbols, and of course the Emperor Huangdi, as the highest value symbol stacked on each reel. The famous Dragon, the carrier of strength, power and transformations, indeed defends its epithets in this game. It is a Scatter that can be a key to your happiness. Even the sound effects of the game convey the Eastern minimalism and complete the impression that you are about to enter the world of Asian secrecy.
