King of Wealth Slots
Meet the King of Wealth in this new oriental styled slot machine by GameArt. The 5-reel video slot has 243 ways to find a winner, making it very enjoyable to play since there is a potential win to be found with each and every spin.
The downside is that, with a 2,500x line bet jackpot and a limited maximum line bet of 0.50 credits, you're not going to find any absolutely life-changing jackpots with this game.
Nevertheless, the generous King of Wealth does give punters the chance to boost their prize-hauls with a free spins bonus round and a double-or-nothing gamble game.
The King of Slots
GameArt have been reeling out the Asian-themed slot machines recently, with a flurry of new titles such as Jade Treasure, 88 Riches and Fortune Lions giving the spinning public a varied taste of Chinese culture. King of wealth follows along the same vein, with a set of reels that are impressively designed, revealing a glimpse of the wealth and riches of the magnificent Asian country.
Of course, there are some generic oriental aspects to this slot machine that you can find with many other slot machines of the same ilk, with symbols depicting golden coins in red sacks, golden coins in golden pots and even golden coins on plants.
However, this slot machine does draw attention to two unique characters that don't feature on every slot machine with an Asian theme – a lucky cat and a money toad. The first of these characters is known as the maneki-neko and it is popular in Japanese and Chinese culture as a symbol of good luck and prosperity. The toad, AKA Jin Chan is also typically associated with fortune and wealth, playing a central role in Ancient Chinese folklore and mythology.
Visually, this slot machine offers everything that you might expect from an Asian themed game. The color scheme is red, gold and black – the typical decorative colors of the orient world – while each symbol is designed with stunning detail and eye-catching animations. There isn't any music in this slot machine, which is a real shame since an authentic backing track can really help players escape to distant worlds such as Far East Asia.
243 Ways to Find a Winner
King of Wealth lives true to its name by offering plenty of winning opportunities to its players. There are in fact 243 ways to win, which basically means that any three or more matching icons on adjacent reels from left to right will result in a prize being awarded.
Naturally, this also means that the game has a relatively small variance when it comes to the pay out, with many of the common symbol sequences paying out wins ranging from 10x to 100x. Of course, there are some bigger wins available, such as a 2,500x line bet jackpot whenever five lucky cats align, but these kinds of wins are very rarely spun.
All of the wins shown in the game's pay table are relevant to the size of the current bet in play, making it easy to understood just how much each combination will return as prize money. The wagers available to choose from range from 0.01 to 0.50 and all bets are multiplied by 50x to factor in the fact that the 243 ways game play.
Rack Up the Wins With Some Bonus Action
Like any good video slot, King of Wealth keeps things interesting by adding a few bonus symbols into the equation. This includes a simple wild icon – represented by the jovial king himself – that will replace all normal paying symbols on the reels to potentially make winning sequences. There is also a golden coin scatter symbol that can appear in any reel position three, four or five times to award total bet multipliers of 2x, 5x and 25x respectively.
Three or more scatters also means free spins. When this slot machine's bonus round is triggered, a new screen will appear showing 10 golden coins, each of which offers 2, 3, 4 or 5 free games. Players will have 5 picks to rack up as many free spins as possible. All wins are doubled during this bonus feature.
On top of all that, this free games bonus offers extra wild icons that will randomly award total bet prizes of 2x, 3x, 5x, 10x or 20x. They don't call this game the King of Wealth for nothing!
Worth a Spin?
King of Wealth isn't the first Asian themed slot machine out there, and it won't be the last. The merits of this video slot is the fact that it looks stunning and it pays often with 243 ways to win and an exciting round of free spins on offer. That said, the game doesn't offer any truly whopping jackpots or big betting option for high-rollers.
