Play China Long for Free

The enchantment with grab you the moment the title loads and presents you with a beautifully rendered matrix of oriental icons, namely dragon and bat pearls, koi carp, Chinese dragons and traditional Chinese calligraphy.

While each of these images are personalised to the theme, the lower value tiles which are associated with card values, are simply embellished letters. That being said, they’re still decorative and visually appealing, if not different.

The J and Q are the lowest icons and will reward between 2 to 75 coins depending on how many of them you line up. As for the most rewarding of the symbols, that’s the Yin and Yang motif that’ll give you a lovely 1,500, a sum that is sure to deliver you to happiness.

If players are keen to get themselves the highest stakes as well as the wonder of tranquility, then they need to find as many wilds, scatters and bonus tiles as possible, disguised as a bat, the Chinese dragon, and a dragon claw grasping a pearl.

Three or more bats will award you a set amount of free spins, with three icons equalling 12, increasing all the way to five tiles giving a huge 20 bonus spin total. As standard for a wild tile, the brightly decorated dragon whizzes and whirls, while removing all icons bar the scatter and bonus. This is well and good, and sure to soothe the journey to Nirvana, but three or more dragon claws will uncover a bonus round.

The bonus game is a simple but enjoyable round that makes you choose from five glowing pearls, each of which hide their true values until you select the one of your choice. After you’ve made your decision the other prizes will be revealed to you, so you can see just how much lady luck was on your side.
