Featuring the traditional animal wardens of North, South, East and West, this title invites gamblers in with up to 20 free spins at a time with triple win multipliers.
Theme
“Four Guardians!”…
… is the first thing you’ll hear when opening this game. Who are these guardians, what are they guarding, and what does any of this have to do with online slot gaming?
Well, it turns out that in Ancient China, the four cardinal directions where guarded by celestial emblems of the Chinese Emperor: a black tortoise for the North, white tiger for the West, red bird for the South, and dragon for the East.
Spin Games places these four emblems on the reels in its latest release, alongside gold coin wild symbols, oranges, playing card values, and lucky 8’s.
This game’s most important symbol, though…
… is the lantern trigger symbol. This provides the gateway to this title’s outstanding Free Spin Feature Game.
A mythical landscape provides the background for this epic slot, with craggy mountains jutting out above the clouds into the starry night sky. Serene sound design creates a calm gameplay atmosphere, with digital sound effects announcing wins.

Our Take
Spin Games is clearly going for a majestic, timeless, epic feel in Four Guardians, and we have to admit: their efforts have succeeded.
The mythological elements of this slot are very charming indeed, and free spins with a triple win multiplier further helps the case along. Our only criticism is the lack of RTP information, although other slots from this designer have offered competitive RTP, and there’s no reason to believe this title would be different.
Fans of this designer should check out Triple Bombshell Betties. This is another strong slot from Spin Games with a totally different feel – it emphasizes gorgeous women and 20th century warfare.
