Landing as many identical symbols as possible is the name of the game, like in pretty much all slots. What makes Book of Ming stand out amongst equals then? The excellent graphics for one, and the great wins for another thing. The theme is not exactly one that Western audience would have an opinion one way or another, which means that all that matters is if it is well done or not.
Theme
Some sort of imperial palace is in question, with what we assume to be Ming’s room spreading its luxury in the background. The symbols are a collection of bits of history and myth, with vases, famous characters, dragons, and the playing card rank filling in the reels. Music and sound effects are exactly what you are used to when it comes to Chinese themes. Still, well done enough to warrant a few spins.
Betting Options and Functions
The ten paylines sit idle on the reels, running from left to right. The lines are always fixed. The bets can be changed by selecting a figure fit for your budget from the right side of the screen. Possibilities run from 0.01 to 5 coins per active payline. Bet does not affect the return percentage, but naturally plays a role as a multiplier of wins.
The variance is quite high here, which should not come as a surprise when the main win is 5000 times the line bet. This quickly goes down to 2000 and then 750 with the themed symbols. The playing card ranks pay out between 5 and 150 times the line bet, depending on how many symbols you have on the line. Ming himself is the character you want to show up as often as possible.
Features
The gamble feature, which seems to be present in all BF games, is easy to use. Simply press the gamble button and give a guess as to which colour is gonna show up; red or black. The wrong guess means you lose the win, whereas a lucky guess will double the pot. The chances are 50 - 50.
The game also comes with free spins. Three scatters will award ten of them, and during the bonus spins, there are also extra scatters in play. On top of this, you also get some extra expanding symbols, and to make the free spins even more profitable they can be retriggered during the feature itself.
Our Take
Book of Ming doesn’t have much to do with books, and Ming himself only shows up to pay the big wins. But that’s all you really need here, as the game gives pretty good chances of landing massive wins. The free spins are well balanced and always offer a chance to walk away with a sizeable pot of coins. We recommend you give this one a try!
