Founded in 2010, a new age, gaming technology company, Pariplay, in collaboration with an Asian gaming partner, launched their first Asian theme game on March 1, 2018. Based on Chinese mythology, Chang'e Goddess of the Moon is a video slot with 5 reels and 20 fixed paylines.

Theme

Chang’e Goddess of the Moon is the subject of several legends, based on Chinese mythology. One story, revolves around the sun, the moon, a pill or elixir of immortality, an angry emperor and Houyi, or Yi, the archer and his wife Chang'e. As the story goes, the two are banished to earth, as mortals when Yi shoots down nine suns, saving Earth. Relentlessly searching, the archer is given a pill of immortality. He puts it in a case and tells his wife to leave it alone. In her curiosity, she opens the case and is holding the pill when her husband walks in. Chang'e doesn't want him to see the pill, so she swallows it, a dose large enough for them both. The overdose caused her to float up and away, until she reached the moon.

Our Take

Chang'e Goddess of the Moon is a lovely theme. The game is well developed with authentic graphics, music and a free spin feature. The winning potential of this game is not life changing. There is no jackpot and the RTP is 94.5%. This is a pleasant game, with the potential to win, just not a huge win.
