Wu Long

Launched in February 2014 to celebrate the Chinese New Year, Wu Long is a five reel twenty-five payline video slot from Playtech that brings a festive atmosphere directly to your desktop. The game comes with one special symbol that acts as both Wild and Scatter, whilst a Free Spins round and some stunning multipliers ensure players can turn a nice profit with a little smile from Lady Luck.

Wu Long features a pretty standard game play, although gamers need a minimum of two matching symbols on an active line starting from the leftmost reel for a payout. Check the paytable to learn more about the payline scheme, payouts in the main game, the Free Spins round and multipliers that apply to special feature wins. Oddly enough Paper Dragon symbol acts as both Wild and Scatter, so you will definitely want to see this particular icon on the reels as often as possible. It will substitute for all other symbols to form a winning combination, while triggering the Free Spins round and awarding Scatter wins if three or more occur in any position on the game screen.

To select the size of your total bet use + and – within lines and line bet tabs. You can activate between 1 and 25 paylines, while the game supports a wide array of coin values, starting from $0.01 up to staggering $20, which basically means you can wager anywhere from $0.25 up to $500 when maximum 25 paylines are activated. Auto play and turbo mode options are supported as well. Seeing as how players can wager a maximum of 25 coins per spin, the top payout of 2,500 credits corresponds to 100x their total bet. The top prize is awarded when five temple symbols occur on an active payline, while the same combination in the Free Spins round can land you 15,000 coins thanks to the special multipliers.

Reels are populated by things you would normally expect to see at Chinese New Year celebrations, such as paper dragon, temple, drums, cymbals, lanterns, firecrackers and ladies in traditional outfit, whilst playing cards Jack, Queen, King and Ace complete the list of game symbols. Three, four and five Paper Dragon Scatters appearing in any position pays Scatter wins equal to 5x, 25x and 50x your total bet, while the same combination triggers the Dragon’s Free Games. Players are initially awarded 12 free spins at a x1 multiplier, but that is just for starters. One Scatter appearing during the feature increases the multiplier to x2 to x4 and to x6.

Two Scatters appearing on a single spin award additional two free games while increasing the multiplier from x1 to x4, from x2 to x4 and from x4 to x6. Three Scatters increase the multiplier to x6 and award 4 free games. Four Scatters award eight free games and increase the multiplier to x6, while five Scatters award 12 free games and increase the multiplier to x6. The multiplier decreases by 1 for each spin that does not contain a Paper Dragon Scatter.
