Gung Pow is a Chinese New Year celebration themed online slot game that focuses on fireworks used in the celebrations. It was developed by Microgaming Software and released in 2015. The themed and traditional symbols are displayed on five reels and three rows with a basic red background. The online slot offers a free spins feature and wild symbols that help make up winning combinations.
Instead of the typical online casino slot pay lines, Gung Pow features 243 ways to win. This means that all combinations including three to five symbols that are the same pay out regardless of where they land. Betting options range from 0.25 up to 250 per spin. The online slot has an auto play feature.
Top Pay Outs for Regular Symbols
The most valuable Gung Pow symbols are two types of fireworks, Chinese paper lanterns, sparklers and firecrackers. These symbols pay out various amounts from 100 to 30 000 coins when the maximum bet is placed.
The lesser paying symbols that are found on the reels include the traditional 9, 10, J, Q, K and A playing card icons. These symbols pay out various amounts ranging from 2 to 200 coins. All symbol combinations pay for three to five matching symbols.
The wild symbol is the Gung Pow logo and while it does help to make winning combinations it does not pay out on its own. This is because this symbol only lands on the second and fourth reels during game play. The wild symbol will acts as any of the regular symbols where necessary but will never stand in as a scatter symbol.
Gung Pow Free Spins Bonus Feature
A golden Chinese coin is a special symbol that only pays out scattered wins, it is involved in triggering the Gung Pow free spins feature. Being a scatter symbol it does not have to appear in any specific position. Two, three, four or five scatter symbols will pay out various coin prizes of up to 250 coins but three or more scatters will also award 15 free spins.
Free spins can be awarded again while free spins are in play. Another 15 free spins will be given for another three or more scatters. Every time a win occurs during a free spin it is tripled as the free spins are accompanied by a 3x multiplier. This is where the biggest Gung Pow pay out is possible which is a total of 90 000 coins.
Gamble Feature for Gung Pow Wins
When a winning combination lands on the Gung Pow reels a gamble sign will show up above the spin button. Clicking on it will start the bonus which is a simple guessing game that can double the winning amount.
The guessing game is a standard gamble feature where the colour of a playing card must be guessed before it is shown. Correct guesses double the amount while incorrect guesses will result in it being lost. When a guess is correct, the gamble feature may be played again which can be done up to a limit of five times in a row.
