If you like playing Chinese themed slots, you are in for a treat with the new game from Booongo titled “Wukong – Hold And Win” slot.
The legend of the Monkey King Wukong is a big part of Chinese mythology and the developer has decided to use this as the main character for their game.
In Wukong Hold and Win, players are taken to a jade forest so that they can play a game with the Monkey King. The developer has done a good job with the graphics and use a distinct Asian theme in the background.
The game features a standard grid consisting of five reels and three rows. There are 25 paylines for players to win on and a max cash jackpot of $1,728.
The betting range is a tad disappointing here as Chinese players tend to like big betting ranges.
The minimum bet starts at $0.25 and goes up to $60. This will appeal mostly to low and mid stakes players. When it comes to the symbols, the card royals are the low paying symbols while the higher paying symbols come in the form of necklaces, bracelets, drums, and golden spears. There are three special symbols which are the wild, scatter and bonus symbols.
Special Features
Wukong acts as the Wild symbol which can change into any symbols to complete a winning combination. You also have the free spin feature, which players will want to trigger. Scatter symbols will show only on the 3 middle reels. When three of them land on those reels, players get eight free spins. There is also a chance of retriggering the feature. The game also removes all the low-paying symbols during the spins.
Finally, there is the Hold & Win. Players need to land six Bonus Symbols. All of them have multipliers up to 16x. When this happens they are locked and players are given three respins. The only symbols on the reels are the bonus symbols. Players get a reset of respins if they land another bonus symbol.
You can end this feature by either filling up the entire grid or running out of respins. Your rewards are determined based on the bonus symbols. A full grid will give a 5000x Grand Jackpot, the next level is a 150x Major Jackpot, followed by a 50x Minor Jackpot and a 20x Mini Jackpot.
Overall, Wukong Hold And Win from Booongo is a very interesting game and certainly deserves a few spins!
