"Gong Hei Gong Hei" is an enthralling video slot game developed by Blueprint Gaming, offering players a 5x3 reel layout with 25 different ways to win. The game stands out with its potential for high rewards, as players can win up to a staggering 10,000 times their initial bet. Additionally, "Gong Hei Gong Hei" features a medium to high volatility, catering to players who enjoy a balance of regular wins and the chance for larger payouts.
Unlike Blueprint Gaming's "Eye of Horus," "Gong Hei Gong Hei" transports players to a different historical era, immersing them in the rich and vibrant culture of ancient China. The game is set within a majestic temple, flanked by imposing dragons, creating an atmosphere of grandeur and mystery. The reels are adorned with a mix of symbols that combine traditional playing card values (J to A) and icons deeply rooted in Chinese culture. These include golden coins, glowing lanterns, intricately designed porcelain vases, ornate medallions, and pots brimming with gold. Of these symbols, the pot of gold stands out as the most lucrative, offering players 28 times their stake for a five-of-a-kind combination.
The game's central character, a cheerful Chinese man, represents the Caishen wild symbol. Whenever this symbol lands on the reels, it expands to cover the entire reel, enhancing players' chances of forming winning combinations. In terms of gameplay features, "Gong Hei Gong Hei" is relatively straightforward, primarily focusing on the Free Spins feature. The game doesn't include an abundance of features in the base game, but the excitement ramps up when players trigger the Free Spins. This is achieved by landing three or more temple scatter symbols anywhere on the reels during a single spin. Successfully doing so awards players 12 free spins.
During the Free Spins feature, each Caishen Wild that lands on the reels plays a significant role. It not only expands but also upgrades the high-paying symbols in a sequential manner, as indicated at the top of the game screen. Moreover, the appearance of Caishen Wilds during free spins can lead to additional free spins: one Caishen Wild grants an extra spin, two award three additional spins, and three Caishen Wilds result in five more free spins.
