Play Wok Star for Free

Games Warehouse is getting in on the action of what we like to call ‘mid-sized’ slots quite aggressively in last couple of years. They have released more non-penny slots in this period than any other developer, and that says a lot about the kind of market they are targeting.

Wok Star, however, isn’t all about Games Warehouse. They have had a healthy bit of help from GW Games whose mainstay is the UK market. So, all in all, Wok Star is a tasty union of these two bigwigs of slot industry.

Wok Star (it’s a wordplay on ‘Rock Star’) is a 5-reel and 20-payline slot that borrows its appearances and design from the classic slots of the last decade. It opens up with a bang-on delivery of kitchen related noises and rock n’ roll riffs, some of which, however, are not entirely pleasant.

Apart from the load-lag, heating this wok up for some hot cooking is a fairly easy process. Games Warehouse has made it a point to launch all of their new games strictly on HTML5 codec, and that helps in keeping things light, as well.

Of course – what good is a round of Asian food without a generous hand of obscure spices and exotic condiments? That touch of spice is provided here with the wager scheme that allows you to put at stake one coin per line, valued between 20 cents and – brace yourselves - $20!

Yes, you can value one coin at $20! However, an upper cap of $200 per spin also means that you need to be careful while distributing your wagers.

Wok Star is pretty easy on symbols. The largest chunk of regular symbols is made up by Chinese-scripted J, Q, K and A of cards, while other symbols include the logo of the game (pays the most – keep an eye on it!), a decorated takeaway food parcel and a massive guitar amp that even Jimmy Page would be envious of.

In the base game, typically, five-on-five combinations of regular symbols don’t yield more than 300 coins. But considering that the highest coin size allowed is $20, that’s still a lot of golden weight to carry.

Bonus rounds are pride and joy of all Games Warehouse slots, and this one is no exception. There are three bonus symbols (replacing the usual scatter concept) here:

We love Games Warehouse slots simply because they pay a lot. It is obvious that for that to happen, the slot has to be volatile, which exactly is the case here.

Wagers are impressively large, and those who love to go the win-or-nothing way can find much to rave about in Wok Star. Newcomers, however, may want to stay away from this one until they have found their feet in the shallow end of the pool first.
