This festive-themed online video slot created by Dragon Gaming team will transport you into a traditional Chinese suburb, decorated in beautiful festive ornaments and sparklers, where you will experience a firework of prizes and amazing fun!
Put on your celebration mood, use the game's Free Spins and Wild Multipliers and start dancing next to the dragon!
Theme and Symbols
This Asian-themed online video title takes punters on an unforgettable journey through traditional Chinese suburbs just outside of the city where they will get to experience an authentic festive feeling and enjoy its colourful decorations!
Behind the transparent reels, you will see lotus trees standing on both sides, as well as numerous locals ready to start celebrating with their sparklers. But, the reels are perhaps the best part since they are not created conventionally!
You will see purple ropes hanging down from the red joist, carrying colourful, cartoonish symbols in various shapes on them, such as landlady, baby, koi fish, jade ox, dragon lantern, ox lantern, pineapple lantern, Chinese for ‘Ox’ as well as the Chinese symbols for wealth and prosperity.
The big animated ox is standing on the left, overlooking the action that is perfectly accompanied by a theme-related soundtrack.
Betting Options and Other Functions
Not only is this a stunningly-looking online game, but it also comes with simple gameplay that boasts some decent options.
The action takes place across 5 reels and 3 rows, offering 243 ways to win that can go up to 576 during the bonus round.
But, before you start celebrating, you need to set your bets that range from 0.50 to 50 credits.
This rewarding Oriental-themed online release comes with high variance and the best odds number of 95.73%, which is slightly below average.
When it comes to the paytable, it starts with some low-paying Chinese symbols that reward up to 100 credits, followed by dragon lantern, ox lantern and pineapple lantern.
The highest-paying symbol is the landlady that pays 100, 400 and 1500 credits for 3, 4 or 5 in a combination.
Special Features
The special features are usually linked to the special symbols, so let's see which ones are present here and what they bring with themselves!
The Wild ox symbol appears only on reels 2, 3 and 4 and substitutes for all other regular symbols. But, it also comes with a twist!
Each Wild symbol that lands across the reels and becomes a part of a winning combo, carries a random multiplier with itself that goes up to x40!
Now, pay attention to the golden Bonus symbol with a small yin and yang sign in the middle, as by landing at least three of them anywhere on the reels, you will trigger the Free Spins feature and get a certain award depending on how many symbols were involved in triggering it.
But, here's the kicker!
Before you start spinning your extra spins, you will have to use another feature – the Pick Your Bonus feature that will give you seven different options to choose from and determine what number of free spins you will use, as well as the multipliers that will be applied to your winning combos.
The higher number of free spins you choose, the lower number of multipliers you will get and vice versa, so, you can have up to 25 free spins with x5 multiplier, or perhaps the lowest number of 6 free spins, but the multiplier that can go up to x40!
But that's not all!
You also have a Mystery option, if you are a little bit adventurous, that will award a random number of free spins and multipliers!
The best part is that the numbers are independent, so, you have a chance of getting 25 free spins in a combination with x40 multiplier!
Verdict
All in all, The Ingot Ox is an online title from Dragon Gaming slot portfolio that boasts stunning visuals and fun gameplay.
Besides, the game comes with two recognizable special symbols, but also with a twist. The Wild symbol that carries a certain multiplier and the option for you to choose your free spins round are two nice additions that will surely enrich the overall playing experience!
