The action in Mystery of LongWei takes place against a mountainous, palace backdrop. The red reels include gold A to 9 symbols alongside a typical selection of animals and objects found in slot games with a Chinese theme.
In order of value, you’ll see gold vases, koi carp, lotus flowers, pandas and tigers. The most rewarding symbols is the flaming red phoenix which pays up to 25 times your stake if you land 5 in combination. There’s also a wild that replaces everything apart from the scatter and bonus. The base game action is fairly standard but there are plenty of possibilities on offer in the 2 bonus features:
Dragon Colossal Spins feature - land a dragon symbol on reel 1 to trigger this round. Here you’ll see colossal symbols filling reels 2 through 5. The dragon symbols on reels 1 can transform into a mystery symbol too. The dragons shift down the reels 1 space at a time. The respins continue until all of the dragons have dropped off the bottom of the reels.
Free Spins feature - a haul of 10, 20 or 30 free spins are on offer if you manage to land 3, 4 or 5 of the scatter on the same spin. Once again, the colossal symbols are in play. The higher value symbols will all spin in colossal formation, filling reels 2, 3, 4 and 5.
There’s nothing overly flashy about Mystery of LongWei. The visuals are nicely done and there’s a traditional soundtrack. No complaints there then. Both the respins and free spins offer some very decent action of up to 400 times your stake per spin.
Standing out in the crowded Chinese field is a tricky task for a developer. In Mystery of LongWei, iSoftBet has managed to do that rather well. If you like colossal symbols, I suggest you take a look at Asgardian Stones by Net Entertainment.
