Kung Fu Slot
Typically, doctors are trained to help us put our bodies back together and they are not trained to kick the living daylights out of us. Wong Fei Hung, however, was no ordinary doctor. The Chinese physician (1847 – 1924) was a master of the Hung Ga style of martial arts as well as being a dab hand at acupuncture and other forms of old school medicine. Legend has it that as a young man the karate chopping doctor even travelled with the Black Flag Army, a splinter militia group which fought against invading French and Japanese armies. Even as he was getting on a bit in years, Wong Fei Hung was employed as a bodyguard during the turbulent transition period of the Republic of China after the Xinhai Revolution in 1912. Not bad for a 65 year old!
This slot machine does a great job at retelling the story of this incredible man, with a set of reels that are set within an oddly Dickensian Chinese city from the nineteenth century. Upon the reels, players will meet a cast of characters including some villainous fighters, a beautiful and mysterious lady and the master of martial arts himself. Other icons include various traditional props and artefacts from the time period as well as a black flag from the Black Flag Army.
Plenty of Winning Action
With 243 ways to win and a low to mid variance level, this slot machine promises to be full of action. And the game doesn't necessarily scrimp on the prizes, either, with a top bet multiplier worth 1,000x when the “Evil Kin” icon appears across all five reels. The multipliers shown in the paytable will apply to the size of the chosen coin, which could be worth between 0.05 credits and 10 credits. The selected coin will then be multiplied by 30 to account for the 243 win ways, meaning that the minimum total bet is 1.50 and the maximum is 300.
It might just pay to play with a bigger overall bet. First of all, the game has a scatter icon that awards a total bet multiplier worth 35x whenever five appear in any position. Secondly, this progressive jackpot slot will be more likely to award one of its ever growing jackpot kitties when a larger overall wager is in play. Players who aren't content with their base-game wins can attempt to double up with the slot machine's gamble game.
Bring on the Bonus
Players can boost their winnings even further by triggering one of two bonus features. First of all, three scatters will trigger a round of free spins in which players must select one of the higher paying character symbols to appear on the reels more frequently than other icons. If you choose the most valuable Evil Kin symbol, you will get 11 free spins with no multiplier while Wong Fei Hung will award 7 free spins with a x2 multiplier. The lady icon will give a total of 5 free spins with a x5 multiplier.
Spinners will also be able to play a simple bonus side game by finding three or more Evil Kin icons on the reels in any position. This is take players to a separate game screen where there are three lion costumes. The aim of the game is to uncover the lion costume under which the Evil Kin character is hiding. If you find your man, then you will win the x8 total bet prize. If you don't find him then you will still be rewarded with a x2 total bet prize.
Slots from the East
There are tonnes of oriental slot machines online, many of which focus on mythological beasts and customary celebrations. Punters will be able to meet some other important characters from Chinese history, however, with slots like 1421 Voyages of Zheng He by Spielo and Dynasty of Ming by Novomatic.
