Divine Gongs Slot Review
This is going to be a long review so I’m not going to ramble on too much in the intro. Divine Gongs slot from Kalamba is all about celebrating Chinese New Year which interestingly, falls on different dates each year (but usually between 21 January to 20 February).
The festivities continue for 15 days, which links up nicely with the K-Cash Bonus we’re going to explore later. Okay, so that was enough of a prelude – let’s get to it.
Gameplay
Kalamba has us sitting in a field of flowers, with rabbits cavorting around, while mountains capped with pagodas soar in the background.
In Asian culture, those fleet-footed Oryctolagus are considered to be the luckiest of the 12 animals of the zodiac, which is why they’re the star attraction here. Having said that, 2023 is the year of the pig, but hey – I guess those porkers aren’t as attractive as fluffy rabbits.
The stats for this game are solid. We start with a 96.39% RTPRTP stands for “Return to Player.” The RTP describes the total bet amount that a game returns to players over millions of spins, and that figure is represented by a percentage. Table games, such as Roulette, typically have higher RTPs than many slots.
RTP needs to be considered in conjunction with a game’s volatility rate. on this 20-payline game and despite the medium volatility rate, the max win is a glorious €200,000. There are also no currency limitations so you can roll with the fiat or crypto you prefer.
The rabbit is our Wild symbol, and it replaces all symbols except for the K-cash ones.
Features
You can get into the Hold & Win Bonus round by landing K-Cash symbols simultaneously or by using the Buy Bonus options.
K-CASH SPINS:
Land 3 or more K-Cash gongs anywhere on the reels simultaneously, and you’ll be whisked away to the Bonus screen. You’ll start with 3 spins and each subsequently landed K-Cash symbol will reset the spin counter.
The action takes place on a grid with 15 empty positions, and the only symbols you’ll see are K-Cash ones. At the end of the round (when you’ve run out of spins), the value of all the symbols is added up and paid out.
If you fill all 15 positions on the reels, that’ll award you the K-Cash Bonus which I’ll chat about below.
K-CASH BONUS AND FEATURES:
During the base game, you’ll notice 3 different colored gongs to the left of the grid. When a gong lands on the reels and is struck, it’ll take on one of the colors and add its value to the respective gong to the side.
That action bolsters the colored gong’s percentage, which determines the K-Cash Bonus level you’ll play at. It also fills up the gong’s feature meter.
Each colored gong also represents a feature – One Up (purple gong), Prize Booster (green gong), or Duo Reels (red gong). Let’s look at each in more detail:
One Up: When this feature is active, it will increase your spins by a value of 1
Prize Booster: Each K-Cash symbol has a chance to increase its current value randomly
Duo Reels: When this feature kicks in, K-Cash spins take place across two reels
GAMBLE FEATURE:
After your Bonus round, or if your winnings are 5x your bet or more, you’ll be offered the chance to boost your current winnings. Hit the GAMBLE button and you’ll be taken to another screen with a wheel that’s half black and half green.
You can use the plus and minus signs to increase or decrease the green area (which is where you want your pointer to land). The smaller the green area, the more difficult the challenge and therefore the bigger the reward.
When you’re happy with your selection, hit the circle in the middle of the wheel (there’s no dedicated SPIN button so it can be confusing the first time). You can collect your winnings anytime, but note that a single loss will mean all your current winnings go bye-bye.
BONUS BUY:
You can buy your way into one of 3 options, and each grants a certain number of spins and a K-Cash Bonus percentage.
Option 1 (395x your bet): All 3 K-Cash features will be active, and you’ll be playing on 2 grids that are next to each other, thanks to the Duo Reels option being active.
Option 2 (202x your bet): Two, random K-Cash features are active – at the start, you’ll see a spinning reel that selects the features. You’ll play on a single grid unless the Duo Reels are active.
Option 3 (88x your bet): One random K-Cash feature is active and the number of grids will depend which feature has been selected.
Performance
Divine Gongs slot played perfectly during testing. I tried it out on different devices and threw a couple of browsers into the mix to trip it up, but nothing would unsettle it.
Maximum Win
It’s all good news here: a €200,000 that comes courtesy of a 10,000x max multiplier which means you won’t have to shoulder too much of a financial burden as you chase that main prize. Betting starts at €0.20 and is capped at €20.
Conclusion
You know what? I really enjoyed playing Divine Gongs slot. There’s something about watching those colored gongs fill up, triggering the Bonus round, and seeing which features will come into effect. It’s bloody intoxicating, I tell ya!
Addictive gameplay aside, the stats are beyond reproach and the volatility level means there’s plenty of action. I can’t say I found myself drifting off at any point, and that’s saying a lot coz I have the attention span of a goldfish with Alzheimer’s.
Yeah, this game is worth a go, even if Asian-themed games aren’t usually your thing (they aren’t mine, but this Divine Gongs slot won me over).
