iGaming content provider BGaming has launched its latest slot game, featuring a Japanese-inspired theme. In this new release, players are transported to the mystical Far East, where they can immerse themselves in oriental charm and seek good fortune with the help of a traditional maneki-neko talisman. The slot offers medium-high volatility gameplay.
The game’s backdrop is adorned with symbols of the Far East, including a tiger, panda, turtle, crane, and koi. Players can also encounter a blooming lotus Wild symbol, which appears on reels 2, 3, and 4, and serves as a substitute for all symbols except the torii Scatter.
One of the unique features of this slot is the special Coin Wild symbol, which enhances the gaming experience. Each coin collected increases the chances of winning a jackpot. An accumulation of eight Coin Wilds triggers the start of the jackpot round, which offers four types of jackpots with up to an x3,000 max multiplier.
The game is further amplified by the golden torii Scatter symbol, which can appear on any reel. If three or more torii Scatters land during the main game, they trigger the free spins round, providing players with 10 free spins.
During this mode, every Coin Wild symbol activates the Jackpot round, where 12 coins appear on the screen. This interactive feature allows players to click on the coins and match three of the same jackpot symbols to win one of four available jackpots.
Another noteworthy addition to the game is the Golden Symbol feature, which allows players to select up to five golden symbols. This choice directly influences the availability of jackpot levels, with golden symbols offering higher payouts compared to their regular counterparts when they land on the reels. All symbols, except the Scatter, start with the same initial payout values, which can be enhanced if players opt for the Golden Symbols.
With a return-to-player (RTP) rate of 96.38%, the slot also incorporates the popular Buy Bonus feature which enables players to purchase a Free Spins round with a specific number of Golden symbols. Upon purchase, the next spin introduces three Scatters on reels 1, 3, and 5. It’s important to note the feature is disabled if the Chance x2 feature, which offers a slightly increased bet and a higher chance to trigger free spins, is active.
“The maneki-neko is a universally-recognised symbol of good luck and we are sure our players will enjoy its irresistible charm in our new release. The extra Coin Wild symbol also adds a further boost as it gives players a route to the jackpot round, with a guaranteed jackpot win,” Yulia Aliakseyeva, Co-CPO at BGaming, said.
