Fu Bao Bao

Fu Bao Bao is apparently about two toddlers, which is what the name sounds like anyways. The game, of course, comes with bonus features, as go pretty much all Skywind games, so it’s not just the thematic symbols that make it special. High volatility is guaranteed, which means massive basic wins when luck is on your side. The theme is, without a doubt, a bit strange, but you’ll soon get used to it.

Theme

A market of sorts opens up in the background, or perhaps it is a fun fair. The theme is a bit strange for western audiences, but at least it offers something new. There are fireworks, festivities, and all sort of fun symbols, with the two children taking the cake. The music is not exactly oriental, like most of the theme, but instead a collection of sounds that could be from Teletubbies.

Betting Options and Functions

The bet value is determined by coin value, which you get to decide. This is then multiplied with 80 and divided among the fifty paylines. A bit confusing at first, but since the total bet is always shown you should not have any issues following the flow of money. All wins are multiplied by the coin bet to determine the final payout.

The basic payouts are not sky-high, in fact, they are quite low. The smallest start between three and fifteen times your line bet for three symbol combos, while four raise the range to 5 and 40. For five symbols combo, you are going to land between 20 and a 100 times your bet. Truly, you want to look at the special features for the big money.

Features

The Bao Zhu feature, which I must admit I have no idea what it stands for, comes with the usual free spins. The way it is launched is quite different from most games, as is the way it runs. Whatever the other qualities of this game are the free spins are worth checking out. First of all, you get quite a few of them.

The firecrackers are the bonus symbol, and you can land up to 20 of them on the screen. Starting from eight up you’ll get ever increasing amounts of free spins. Eight gives you five, while the maximum of twenty gives you a total of 88 free spins. Not exactly a lucky number, but quite a decent amount of them. The main thing is that whenever the firecrackers trigger the free spins they lock in place and transform into wilds for the entirety of the feature. The more you have, the more wilds you have, and the more wins you are going to land.

Our Take

The free spins are done in quite an interesting way, and that is both the weakness and strength of this game. You are not going to land the 88 spins with 20 wilds most of the time, but when you do it’s gonna be a huge payout. Other than that, the game doesn’t offer much. Try it if you’re into high volatility slots, otherwise might want to give this one a pass.
