Fu Qi Er

Fu Qi Er stands for, with my limited Chinese, “good fortune and continuation of it”. ReelNRG is not a Chinese company, so their take on the subject matter might be seen with some scepticism. On the other hand, they seem to have recently expanded into Asia, so perhaps this game draws from experience and knowledge gained.

The game certainly looks like it is taking full advantage of oriental influences. This is a medium to high volatility slot using the 243 ways to win setup. The reel count is normal, with mystery wins and bonus games to spice up things a bit.

Theme

The music is what I would associate with traditional Chinese music, folk or otherwise. The symbols are the same, Chinese lanterns, firecrackers, goldfish, the lucky cat and many others. On the background, you will find festivities of sorts going on. Even the playing card ranks are themed for the game, and exceptionally well so. Celebration, fortunes and a good time is embodied well in this slot.

Betting Options and Functions

The interface is pretty slick and, for example, will automatically know when you want to turn on features such as turbo spin. The RTP in this game is just shy of 96%, meaning that it offers standard returns. The reels likewise are standard, with five of them having three symbols each.

Bets start from 0.25 coins per spin, with plenty of room for manoeuvre. As always, an abundance of possible payline combinations means that the average wins are pushed down: in this case the maximum any five symbol combination will pay is 150 times the bet. On the other hand, this is still quite high given the fact that the bet is not divided between different paylines. Quite sufficient.

Features

The game offers mystery wins which can trigger during the main game as well as bonus spins…

...which can be triggered by landing three scatter symbols. This will net you eight spins. The Wonus symbol is a scatter and wild, and will only show up on reel five. During the bonus games, this symbol will award an extra spin.

You will also gain access to stacked wilds during the bonus games. The wild is different from the Bonus symbol and will show up on reels two, three and four.

Our Take

This ReelNRG slot is quite standard in most ways. The theme might be somewhat fresh material, but the game itself works out quite like any other. Luckily, the 243 ways to win as well as the bonus features with their extra stacked wilds adds some much-needed variety to the game. If you’re in the mood for a game that balances between medium and high volatility, then there’s no reason not to try this one!
