Play Crazy Nuozha for Free

Whether you are playing this game at a desktop computer, laptop, mobile smartphone or tablet PC such as an iPad or Android device, the images are pin-sharp and beautifully presented. Even the lower value playing card icons are designed with some flair and imagination, with each having a metallic sheen and shown in a flowing Chinese style font. As Crazy Nuozha is a 243 Ways to Win slot game, all that’s needed to create a winning line is for 3 or more of the same symbol type to land anywhere on adjacent reels running from the left side.

Higher pays come from the symbols of a knife, that’s worth 15, 80, or 150 coins when it’s seen on 3, 4, or 5 reels, plus there’s finger bells in a pink ribbon, a Yin/Yang ring and a dragon statue that’s the top-paying icon, returning 50, 300, or 600 coins when it lands on 3, 4, or 5 reels.

Any symbols that become part of a win will vanish, which then leaves empty spaces and new symbols will drop down from above to fill the gaps. If a new win-line is seen, these symbols disappear and so on until no new winning combinations are seen. Some game developers call this a Cascading Reels feature, but CQ9 Gaming have given it the Eliminating Feature title, which sounds just as good to us.

A red and gold spinning disc of fire is the dramatic image chosen as the wild symbol, and while it isn’t worth anything on its own, the wild is able to substitute for others and helps to complete winning lines by completing a continuous run of matching symbols. The wild won’t be able to replace the scatter symbol or bonus symbols though.

A ferocious Dragon King, with his green skin, red hair and beard, plus a dangerous-looking set of firecrackers tied up on top of his head, is a scatter symbol. When this appears in any 3, 4, or 5 places at once, you win 2x, 5x, or 50x the total bet, followed by entry to a free spins feature. Twenty bonus games play out, and to make these even more exciting, any time the Eliminating Feature creates more than a single cascade in succession, the wins get multiplied in value, starting with a 2x multiplier then increasing to 4x, 6x and finally 10x.

Nuozha landing on reels 2 and 4 at once will trigger some fun bonus features. You will first be shown the same wheel of fire that makes up the wild symbol and then be prompted to click any of the 3 mini-games on offer. You can choose to play the free spins, enter the Lotus bonus round or battle the Dragon King for some big wins.

The Lotus feature is a simple pick-a-prize round where you click the pink lotus flowers to collect multipliers. These range from 1x the total bet to a massive 800x, although the game ends when you have clicked either 9 pink flowers or found 3 white lotus leaves.

Choosing the Dragon King game takes you to an animated battle between him and Nuozha, with prizes paid out each time the King is defeated. Successive wins are worth 2x, 15x, 45x, 160x and finally 500x the stake, although it’s all over if the King wins any fight.

At least 0.60 will be needed to get these reels spinning and because of the 243 Ways to Win format, there’s no decisions needed about how many payline to activate, as there’s none. The high limit bet is 360.00 per spin, so it’s a game suitable for casual punters and big gamblers alike.

Other control options include activating the soundtrack, which is quite an impressive orchestral piece, setting the game off on Autoplay, or clicking the lightning flash button to speed things up. Free Crazy Nuozha video slots can be played if you want to practice, but of course you won’t actually win anything this way.

Anyone who likes the cartoon style and Asian theme of Crazy Nuozha should take a look at a couple of similar games, such as Chibi Slot, and Festive Lion.

The Chibi Slot video game from ThunderSpin is full of cute Ninja characters who a joined by the Grim Reaper wild symbol, while the crossed swords scatter symbol will award you with free games and multipliers. It’s got the same CGI-style as Crazy Nuozha, but while the Chibi Slot bonus rounds work perfectly well, they are pretty standard fare.

Festive Lion comes from Spade Gaming and it’s a bright, colourful game where a happy cartoon lion is an expanding wild symbol who brings joy to the characters at a Chinese celebration and extra wins to players. There’s also the small matter of 33 free games to enjoy when the red flag scatter symbol appears, with any wins in the round multiplied by 3x over.

CQ9 Gaming is still something of an unknown developer in many parts of the world but on the strength of the Crazy Nuozha video slot that should be changing. It’s an excellent game that manages to be humorous, exciting and packed with features that can start to pay out as soon as you take the first spin of the reels.

Eliminating, or Cascading reels are a great way to earn extra rewards without trying, and when you factor in wild symbols, multipliers in the free spins and two side games, it’s a slot that’s going to appeal to anyone who likes regular feature rewards. Online casino slot games with an Asian theme are also hugely popular, so the future looks bright for Crazy Nuozha and the talented developers at GQ9 Gaming.
