Play Wong Po for Free

Although you may not explore the wilderness in real life too often, this game gives you the chance to feel exactly what it’s like in the midst of nature.

Set in the Orient, you’ll be instantly transported to what appears to be a bamboo forest, surrounded by hundreds of the thick-stemmed plants stretching up into the sky. Accompanying the scene is a gentle piece of instrumental music, a sweet lullaby which will instantly relax you as you look around.

These background graphics are eerily realistic and you’ll be able to see the flicker of sunlight filtering through the greenery, while all around the roots bury deep into the ground. An ant in a land of giants, the immense height of the forest and the density of the planting will make you feel as if you’re in a whole new world.

The reels contrast brightly against the muted natural colors of the backdrop, being painted in bright red, the color deemed to be extremely lucky in the Far East. There’s a golden glint to many of the symbols too, as well as in the title of the game which sits on the top of the game board.

Before you start to play, it’s a good idea to check out the pay table to see what you could win. This can help you to decide the right betting strategy to employ.

You can navigate to the pay table by clicking the button to the bottom left of the screen, pressing the central “X” to return once more to the main game.

To win a prize you’ll need to land the same symbols along an active pay line, and the more symbols you manage to line up the bigger the win will be. For the lower value symbols you’ll need to match at least three, but for those at the top of the table, you’ll only need two.

There’s a wide gap in the value of the symbols; the lowest only pays out 5 for matching three and 100 for matching five while the top symbol pays 100 for matching three and 10,000 for matching five.

The most valuable symbol also doubles up as the wild when it appears alone. This allows it to substitute for other regular symbols on the reels and make it easier to get a winning line.

The golden tree is the scatter which counts no matter where it appears on the reels. When it’s spotted on reels one and five, you’ll receive 8 free spins.

Once you’ve finished scouring the pay table for information, return back to the main screen and prepare to start playing.

But just before you do you’ll need to set up your own betting preferences so you don’t blow your entire budget on the first spin!

Wong Po is played on 5 reels with up to 25 pay lines for those who want to bet high. These aren’t fixed so you can choose to reduce the number if you prefer using the arrows keys on screen.

You can also set the value of the coin from the minimum of 0.02 up to a maximum of 2.00. You can also play with up to five coins giving a total max bet of 250.00 for those who want to play high. Conversely, if you’re looking to bet low, the smallest wager you can play is just 0.02 per spin.

Once you’ve set up your bet, you can return to begin play and you have the option to either spin the reels manually or automatically. Auto Play allows you to relax while you watch the reels turn on your behalf - and hopefully the prizes start to stack up! Playing Auto Play won’t affect your chances of a win and you can switch it back off whenever you choose.

Wong Po by Spade Gaming offers naturally beautiful graphics which really will transport you into the Far East. Like all titles from this developer, it’s an easy game to understand and play but there’s a lack of real features such as bonuses or jackpots. For this reason it’s probably likely to be more appealing to newbies and intermediate players.
