Emperor's China Slot Machine

Start a glorious journey into the heart of ancient China with Emperor's China, an Oriental slot machine game designed by Novomatic. This basic, yet inviting slot machine game, has five reels, three rows and nine paylines. Due to the number of paylines up for grabs, this is not an overly difficult game to get your head around. All the same, it is quite an enjoyable and immersive experience.

Despite the rather simple design, there are still some points of excitement along the way. The wild and scatter symbols can have a massive impact on the game. There is also a risky bonus feature that can really add a jolt of excitement.

Admire The Great Wall

In terms of the aesthetic of the game, it is rather basic. The border of the game is designed to look like an actual slot machine game in an arcade or Las Vegas. The only real hint of ancient China that we get is in the border at the top of the game, where we get a nice animated view of The Great Wall of China.

While the graphics may not set your heart racing, the general design of the symbols are quite appealing. It has quite a nice retro feel that will be quite attractive to people who have enjoyed playing slot machine games at the height of their popularity.

The Emperor's Old Moves

When it comes to playing this game, it's quite nice and simple. If you have played some of the more basic real money slot machine games before, then you will be able to handle the controls on this game without any problems at all.

You can select which of the nine paylines you want to place a bet on with the buttons at the bottom of the screen, along with buttons to start the game or play automatically. Above them is the coin button, where you can select how much you want to wager on your chosen paylines.

A Gift From The Emperor

When it comes to getting the most out of this game, the scatter symbols play a very big part. The Emperor of China himself is the scatter symbol and when you have three of them in play and on any of the reels, you will be given an impressive 15 free spins. If you're lucky enough to get those free spins, it's always worth keeping a close eye out for the wild and scatter symbols making more appearances. You never know when you might be able to get an impressive win or even increase the number of free spins that you have to improve the slots odds.

An Embarrassment Of Riches

While the free spins in the game are rather impressive, that is nothing compared to what you can get during those free spins. Not only do you have an extra 15 chances to get some impressive winnings, but you get a nice boost along the way as well. All winnings during those 15 free spins is automatically multiplied by three. This means that if you get a really good combo – perhaps with the help of some wilds – then you could build some massive wins. So, while the overall gameplay can be quite simplistic at times, it doesn't mean that you cannot make some solid wins along the way.

Your Kingdom For A Card

If you didn't think that this game has quite enough excitement, then you will do when you hear about the bonus game. When you get a win in this game, you will be given the chance to test your nerve in a gambling bonus game. All you have to do is try and guess the suit colour of card drawn from a deck of cards at random. If you guess correctly, then you could multiply your winnings significantly. If you lose, then you will lose all of the coins that you have just won. If you have just had a big win, this could be a big gamble indeed. The questions is, how much of the Emperor's riches are you willing to lose on a gamble?

Enjoyable Trip to China

This slot machine game from Novomatic has touches of excitement to keep players interested. The free spins, the multiplier wins and the risky gamble game will be able to keep even the more seasoned gamer interested. The only real downside is the design. While many people will appreciate the basic and retro design, younger gamers may feel like there is a distinct lack of action and impressive images on the screen. All the same, this is an enjoyable trip to the heart of Emperor's China and it’s a trip that many people will want to go on again and again. The simpler format also displays very well for mobile play, displaying as well on an ipad as it does on a desktop.
