The Great Wall Treasure

Asian mythology and facts are mixed in this Evoplay Entertainment slot. The Great Wall is a historical landmark and a true treasure for the world, but the Monkey God and the mythical treasures are another thing entirely. The game offers multipliers, the usual five reels, some big wins, and a few special features that make the game worth a look. Though there are plenty of new and upcoming games with Asian themes only a few of them manage to invent something beyond the graphics and audio. How does this one fare?

Theme

The background is quite nicely done, with each spins revealing a magnificent view of the great wall. The Monkey God, or King, hangs around on the side, while your basic Chinese tunes fill the air. The symbols are the usual collection of playing card ranks and themed icons. There are plenty of animations to keep the spinning interesting. When it comes to the theme the game scores full points.

Betting Options and Functions

Volatility is on the high-end here, which also explains the big wins. There are twenty paylines which run from left to right. The game also has the cascading symbols thing going on. This means that every time a winning combination lands the symbols explode away, with new symbols dropping in place.

Each line has one credit bet on it, which leaves them in the position to choose the worth of each credit. Possible values range from 0.5 to 10 coins. Naturally, it is up to the casino to decide how this converts to real money. In use, this means that you are betting from 10 to 1000 credits per spin. Wins range between 3 and 2500 times the line bet. Quite a range, but nothing new when it comes to slots.

Features

The avalanches, or exploding symbols, also increase the win multiplier. During normal spins, this can go up to fivefold the normal, whereas the free spins can go all the way to 15 times the normal prize.

Free spins are the main special feature. These are triggered by the free fall symbol, and three of them must appear in succession from the leftmost reel. This activates ten free spins, which can be retriggered. The multipliers combined with the high volatility result in massive prizes; but only when the luck is right.

Our Take

Chinese themes have gained popularity in recent years. Most of these games are quite bland, which is a trap that The Great Wall Treasure manages to escape. This slot offers a lot of nice animations, graphics that combine quality with style, prizes that are worth chasing, and gameplay that is as easy as it should be. Still, if you are not willing to give a dozen spins for the chance to land one big win this might not be your slot. Luckily, you can try it in demo mode here for free!
