Asian Fantasy Slots

The ever-popular Chinese theme has been tackled once again by Playtech, with their mobile optimised slot machine, Asian Fantasy having various iconic images such as ceremonial dragons, daggers, and Emperors on the reels. Players could have something to celebrate themselves, when the beautiful woman, who presumably is the inspiration for the name of this game, makes an appearance, as she’s able to complete winning lines when she substitutes for others, while up to 50 free spins can also be awarded in this 5-reel, 40-payline game.

In common with much of the Playtech online casino games range, the Asain Fantasy video slot comes with pin-sharp graphics and smooth animations of the reel movements, although it’s deliberately designed to be a low-key slot, where subtle shades of blue dominate the screen. The background of patterned blue panels doesn’t overwhelm the symbols on of this game, and apart from the soft clicking of the reels, there isn’t even a soundtrack to distract you.

Something else that the Asian Fantasy video slot has in common with all Playtech games is that it’s licenced for fairness and reliability, and independently tested to ensure that the return to player percentage is as declared. Coins can be valued from a low limit of 0.01 to a maximum of 100.00, giving high rollers the potential to stake 4000.00 per spin, while causal players can make real cash bets of just 0.40, or simply practice on free Asian Fantasy video slots.

Is This Just Fantasy?

A click on the ‘Info’ button takes you to the payout table where you can review what each symbol is worth when it lands across enough adjacent reels from the left side following the path of a payline. Like so many slot machines before it, and so many more still to come, Asian Fantasy uses high-card symbols to create the less valuable winning lines, although they have at least been given a subtle Chinese style to compliment the theme.

If 3, 4, or 5 of either the 9, 10, or J symbols land, you will be paid a win equal to 5x, 20x, or 100x the amount staked per line, while the Q, K and A are all worth 10x, 30x, or 125x for the same outcomes. Spinners will only need 2 of any picture symbol to win a prize, with the blue daggers, green tablet and helmet all paying out winnings of 2x, 20x, 75x, or 150x as they stop across more and more reels on a line.

The top awards come when the Emperor lands across the reels, at least we assume he’s an Emperor, as he’s not dressed up in particularly fine clothes, but whoever he is, you win between 5x and 300x the line bet when this distinguished chap lands in the right places.

Some Wild Fantasies

The triple-height symbol of a beautiful girl, in a red dress and coyly waving a paper fan, is the wild icon of the game. She’s able to substitute for other symbols, apart from the ceremonial dragon, and when she’s in the right places, this can complete winning lines.

Some nice animations accompany wild substitutions, and there’s showers of sparks shooting up, along with our young lady moving around a little within the confines of the reel. She’s only going to make an appearance on reels 1, 3, and 5 however, so isn’t worth anything on her own.

Scattered Dragons and Free Games

A cute, cartoon-ish view of a ceremonial dragon sits slightly at odds with the more realistic nature of this game, but it looks good and trigger the main bonus features. This scatter symbol works in the conventional way, paying out multiples of the triggering bet, not just the amount wagered on a line, and being worth a prize without having to be in any particular places. You win 2x the bet when it turns up in 3 positions at once, 10x if 4 dragons appear, and any 5 or more will see wins of 20x paid to you.

The scatter awards are followed by either 15, 25, or 50 free spins, depending on how many landed at once. If our friendly dragon pops up in any 3 or places in a single free spin, the games get retriggered and a new set begins as soon as the current ones are done.

However many spins you are given, there’s a Nudging Wild feature in effect. In normal play, the triple-height wild symbol will often be only partially seen, but during the bonus games, whenever any part of the wild is in view, it will nudge up or down a reel to completely fill it, which makes it a little easier for her to complete lines of matching symbols.

Our Thoughts on Asian Fantasy

While there’s no shortage of Asian themed online slots to play, this game is an attractive choice and not just because of the beautiful girl who appears in it. The whole design is quite pleasing, being neither dull, nor too overpowering, which is much the same that can be said about the bonus features.

Standard free spins, scatter awards and wild substitutions are enhanced by the Nudging Wild feature, which makes this a nice, but not too complicated game to play for real cash at online casinos which feature the Playtech range.
