Fei Long Zai Tian Slot
Fei Long Zai Tian translates from Chinese to mean: Flying Dragon, the Sky Roamer – which is a pretty awesome name for any slot machine if you ask us. And there are some awesome spins to be had in this spectacularly designed game with 5 reels, 25 paylines and 12 powerful symbols from Chinese myth and legend.
There is plenty of extravagance on the special gameplay front too, with an extended wild dragon symbol and a round of free spins with some multiplier potential to reward lucky spinners with some big bonus bounty.
Charming Chinese Spins
This new 5-reel video slot by Playtech is one in a series of games from the software company which focuses on Asian culture, history and mythology. Take Silent Samurai for example, a video slot which reveals the history of medieval Japanese warriors, or Geisha Story with its love story set in a Japanese garden. This time round, the looking glass is turned towards China and its amazing culture of mythology and legend. After all, China is often considered as one of the oldest countries in the world, so there are bound to be a few tall tales of dragons and other mystical forces of nature.
As such, the reels of Fei Long Zai Tian are filled with a series of creatures and symbols which present different aspects of Ancient China's mythological canon. There are koi carp from the legend of when the Chinese philosopher Confucius was given a black magoy fish as a gift from the Emperor to symbolise good fortune and prosperity. Then there is the golden money toad, Jin Chan, a mythical creature that is believed to appear during full moons to give wealth to families and businesses.
The Chinese phoenix, or Fenghuang, appears in blazing glory to symbolise virtue and mercy while the flying dragon, Feilong, takes centre stage to ensure a plentiful harvest.
So, all in all, it looks as if these ancient creatures from mythology are in the right place to provide players with all the wealth and good fortune they might need as they spin the reels!
Making up the rest of the game's reel symbols are some important Chinese characters, each of which represent a different aspect of the world's elements. There is water (水), earth (土), wood (木), fire (火) and gold (金).
Place your Wagers
With all the potential prosperity and wealth promised by those charmed symbols, we bet you are itching to have a spin of Fei Long Zai Tian. Well, before you go ahead and do that, you will have to determine how much money you wish to place on each spin. Punters can choose to play with as many as 25 paylines with line bets that range from 0.01 credits to 50.00 credits. With these stakes on the line, players can hope to win a maximum base game jackpot which is worth 10,000x their line wager if they are lucky enough to find five dragon icons lined up in a row over an active payline. To save you from getting your calculators out, that's an ultimate jackpot potential of 500,000 credits.
Dragon's Pearl Bonus
The flying dragon icon from which this slot machine gets its name is also an extended wild symbol which takes up three whole reel positions to substitute for all other normal paying icons. The only icon that this won't replace is the “Dragon's Pearl” scatter symbol. That is because this scatter doesn't need to appear on any particular payline to reward punters, but it will award a set of 8 free spins with a x2 multiplier whenever three or more show up on the game screen.
But before those games are played, spinners will have a chance to increase their reward by choosing 2 mystical pearl symbols from a choice of 5, with each selection revealing extra free spins or multipliers to boost the winning potential of the bonus game. What's more, every time that a player finds three more scatters on the reels during the free games, an extra 15 free games will be triggered.
