Legend Of Qu Yuan Slot Review

Qu Yuan was a classic Chinese poet for those of you who didn’t know. The legend dates back to 3BC. Qu Yuan was a member of the royal house at the time and was exiled for bad behavior, as was the trend of the day. While in exile he wrote great poetry in which he lamented on his patriotism. While in exile he drowned himself and when his body could not be found the surrounding people threw balls of rice into the water so that the fish would eat that instead of him. The annual Dragon Boat Festival is held in his honor.

The reels of this heroic tale are set out on the seas of Asia. The reels are transparent which makes the symbols appear to be floating. The variety of reel symbols is quite large and random. The reels are divided by decorative rods. There are no reel features on this slot, but there are few well-placed multipliers to help you on your way.

The game was well received by all the gadgets on which I tested it.

Gameplay

Qu Yuan offers us 5 reels and 20 pay lines in his honour, and I can guarantee that this is enough to muster up some unapologetic wins.

The symbols on the reels are representative of traditional items of Chinese culture and that are prevalent to the boat race. The drum is what sets the boats off and guide the rowers. There are also flags, dragons, a delicious portion of zongzi which symbolizes the rice thrown into the river after Qu Yuan's suicide.

The special symbols are the scatter and the dragon wild which is a dragon/ It can replace all symbols except the scatter.

The controls float freely on the water as opposed to being housed in a panel. You will be able to find play, autoplay, bet, win and bet per line which can be adjusted.

Features

3 or more scatters in the base game trigger the free spin round which can be retriggered by landing further scatter during the round.

The wild dragon icon can multiply bets by up to x15 000 and also helps players secure other wins to makes this a more rewarding game.

Maximum Win

Should you win the race, you will be rewarded with 45 000 coins.

Performance

I absolutely loved the tale of Qu Yuan and I also really enjoyed the visual appeal of this game. I found the features to be slightly lacking in depth and offering, however.

Conclusion

This slot will appeal to historians and lovers of ancient Chinese legends. It is a simple game that plays easily but maybe needs a little more bulk in the features department.
