Goddess Of The Moon

Chinese mysticism is the source material for this slot, that mostly banks on innovative features to keep the player spinning. There is a whole backstory, with the theme playing well for it, if you want to get deep in the details, but mostly this is just a normal slot with the added benefit of extra bets. As usual, Booongo has made sure that all the qualities of a modern slot are there to keep the game interesting.

Theme

It’s a bit of an eerie feeling, as I am certain I have seen the background before. Perhaps I’ve played the slot, or perhaps it has been recycled from some other Booongo game. In any case, a heavenly haven forms up along a mountainous valley, with temples and waterfalls filling in the view as far as you can see. The reels, in turn, are full of symbols of Chinese mythology, with the occasional playing card rank filling in the blanks. Usual Chinese tunes fill in the air as you spin the reels forth.

Betting Options and Functions

The betting system comes with two tiers here. You have the usual five reels in three rows, with a total bet selected per spin. This you can complement with the upgraded symbols, which come in five different levels. This means you have to bet a lot of extra to get them all into play but on the other hand the prizes and chances of winning go up as well.

All pays form up with the 243 ways to win. This means that as long as you have symbols connecting from left to right you are gonna land a win. Three to five symbols pay out a prize, which in turn depend on what symbols drop in. The lo-value ones return part of your total bet, while the ones with more value pay out tenfold or so.

Features

Three or more scatters fire up the free spins, which come six at a time. These can land during the feature itself, granting six additional free spins. Wilds works as normal, while most wins depend on how many of the upgraded symbols you have in play.

The upgraded symbols require some extra bets, but this also means that you get your hands on the jackpots. There are four different ones, from mini to grand, which activate depending on what upgraded symbols you have in play. Though this adds considerable prizes to the game it also means that, on the highest level, you pay up to eleven times the normal bet. This works surprisingly well with the smallest bet though.

Our Take

The slot is well done, comes with decent graphics and music, and keeps you spinning even without the extra bets. However, and without a doubt, what makes this game worth playing are the upgraded symbols. They work, especially when the big symbols form up to pay out. It might sound like you need to bet high to take anything out of this slot, but surprisingly the smallest extra bet is good enough to claim the jackpot. You won’t be disappointed if you decide to give this one a try.
