Fu Dao Le

I haven’t a clue what Fu Dao Le stands for, but obviously, the theme is Chinese, mixed with other Asian influences. This ten symbol and 243 ways to win slot offer plenty of different functions, bonuses and even several jackpots. Great graphics and soothing music offer an interesting gameplay that will easily keep you spinning in search for the 250 000 coin main win.

Theme

The background and other graphics are taken from Handbook of Asian influence. Visually the game is well done, even though it doesn’t have 3D graphics or animations. The slot comes packed with different bonus features complementing the theme. Gameplay wise there is plenty to do from free spins to searching for the jackpots. The symbols are a mix of traditional low-paying card values, classic slot icons and themed high-pay symbols.

Betting Options and Functions

243 paylines leaves the player with little betting options. You are free to choose anything between 88 and 0.38 credits per spin and that is it. There are no extra bets or functions such as picking only a certain amount of lines. The paytable shows all wins based on the selected bet. The base game doesn’t offer any big wins from even five symbols connection. What you get, as a maximum, on a single payline is your bet back. This is naturally because of the massive amount of win lines. So what you’re after here is, of course, multiple wins in a single spin, as well a the unique features that stack up modifiers for massive prizes.

Features

There are four types of wilds, two of these adding multipliers to the wins and one being a clumped wild filling the whole reel. Each reel has the chance to activate the mystery stacked reel feature, which will turn all stacked reels into a randomly chosen symbol.

There are two different envelope symbols. These can activate the jackpots at random, awarding either the mini, minor, major and maxi wins. The chance to win the jackpot increases with your bet level, though not considerably.

Three WONUS scatters activate free spins which come eight at a time with a double multiplier. During the spins, you can get more free games if any more Wonus’ land on the fifth reel. The bonus spins are played on a different set of reels with added wilds.

Our Take

Fu Dao Le is an excellent slot when it comes to production values and wins. Though the base wins are negligible, they do stack up through the 243 wins. Rather than waiting for one big win, you are hoping for a cascade of wins on a single spin. The bonus features are a nice addition, and they function just like that. You don’t need to keep spinning just to activate them, but when they do hit the reels you can cash in big time.
