Winds of Wealth Slots

The game grid is laid against a stunning backdrop, featuring gorgeous trees, and a small wooden bridge with orange lanterns dangling off of the edge. The lower paying symbols within this board are the playing cards, which are K, A, Q, J plus 9 and 10. They reward up to 50x the bet. The premium symbols are picture symbols, which depict traditional Japanese elements. It takes as little as 2 premium symbols to receive a payout on this game, which is unusual! The fan symbol is beautiful and pays up to 80x the bet when you land 5 on a single pay line. The Daruma doll and paper lantern symbols award anything from 100x to 200x the bet. The Geisha symbol is the top paying regular symbol, which pays out 500x the bet. This game has low volatility.

Scatter and Wild

There is both a scatter symbol and a wild symbol available to trigger. The scatter symbol is the cat symbol, which awards free spins. The wild symbol is the Japanese coin which can substitute for any other symbol on a pay line to complete winning combinations. The wild symbol only lands on reels 2, 3, 4, and 5. The Geisha is the stacked mystery symbol, and also operates as another wild symbol! The Geisha is one of my favorite symbols on this board, purely from a design perspective. You can play this game for free in demo mode. It's also mobile phone compatible, so players can pull this game up on their cell phone whenever they want.

Features

There is more than one special feature to keep players highly entertained. There are stacked mystery symbols, and these symbols substitute any random pay symbol. Whatever symbols are substituted with the geisha before the next spin, the player will receive more winning combinations. There is also the Winds of Wealth Feature. During this feature, the wind is blasted onto the reels and clears lower-paying symbols off of the reel set! As you can imagine, this is an exciting feature. The empty spaces are filled with higher-paying symbols. The winning combinations pay from both sides while this feature is active, and once no lower valued symbols are left on the grid, the feature stops.

Free Spins Feature

Last but not least, we have the Free Spins Feature. If three of the Lucky Cat scatters land on the reels, the game will pay out 10 free spins, along with a multiplier payout.

Bonus Buy Option

If you wish to employ a different strategy to your gameplay and don't want to wait for the free spins round to activate organically, you can buy free spins.

Final Thoughts

No doubt, this is a gorgeous slot. The pastel colors, bursts of purple, blue and pink are dazzling. Each symbol is artfully animated to perfection. The gameplay itself was pleasing - the maximum prize multiplier was great, but not the highlight of the slot. The most notable parts of this game were the special features. The Stacked Mystery Symbol feature might just take the cake for the best part of this game, thanks to the valuable pay table.
