Power of Asia

Theme 

The 21st century started with a technological boom. The virtual world shows no signs of stopping and the online gaming industry is one of its most important branches with an ever-growing community of gamers from all over the globe.

AND…

…developing a game is as much of a creative process as it is technical. Inspiration plays a significant role during this procedure and developers were able to find it in different parts of our planet, in ancient legends, long gone empires and civilizations, and even take us to the imaginary world of tomorrow.

Located on the far east of the Asian continent, Japan is an island country with a rich and interesting culture that has inspired many creators over centuries and is often found as a theme in many online releases.

The land of the rising sun…

…has also motivated software provider Fugaso to create this title. The Power of Asia is an interesting mix of fruit and samurai themes with outstanding visual and audio effects. In the background, we can see pagodas, traditional houses, and a cherry tree in full blossom.

Betting Options and Symbols

Designed for punters who are playing on the budget, you can start spinning from 0.40 to 20$ per spin. And there are 10 pay-lines which are not fixed and can be adjusted to your liking.

Cherries, plumbs and lemons…

…were standard symbols seen on the reels for decades hence the nickname fruit machines. In this release, both low and high – value icons are fruits but the developer decided to spice things up a little bit by adding types that are not usually associated with slots. 

Among others, on the paytable, you'll see banana, apple, kiwi, and carambola also known as the star fruit. 

The top position…

…on the paytable is reserved for pineapple and strawberry. Both of them will get you a 20x total bet for landing 4 on the line. There are 5 reels but the last one is reserved solely for multipliers. Your winning combination can be increased x2, x3 or x5.

Special Features

On the side of the grid is a woman samurai waiting patiently to cut the fruits in the winning combination with her sward. In feudal Japan, women were also members of the bushi (samurai) class. Known as Onna – bugeisha, these female martial artists fought alongside men and were highly trained warriors. 

ALSO…

…she appears on the reels as a Wild, substituting for all icons except scatter.

The symbol of good fortune, abundance, and perseverance in Japanese culture is koi fish. Players who manage to get 3 of them anywhere in the view will trigger bonus 12 spins. During this round, the value of multipliers will rise and your winning combo can be increased by up to x20.

Conclusion 

This slot is an interesting take on both Japanese and gaming traditions. A whole reel filled with multipliers during the base game is a quite unique experience for players and they will love it. Animations are a bit cartoonish but nevertheless stunning and bonus spins are always welcomed addition to the gameplay. 

AND…

…one more reason this title should be on your radar is that it’s connected to the Fugaso Jackpot Series. 3 progressive jackpots are visible below the grid and are randomly awarded.
