There’s a bright, colourful feel to the design in Peking Luck. The traditional imagery in the background includes rolling seas, lanterns and blossom trees. Joining the lower value royals are cymbals, drums, fans and dragons. The most rewarding standard symbol is the mask which will get you a payout of 30 times your total stake if you land 5 in combination.
The mysterious woman with the fan is the wild. It substitutes for all other symbols apart from the gong scatter. Find 3, 4 or 5 wilds in combination and you’ll receive an award of 20, 160 or even 400 times your stake. If a wild makes up part of a winner with the standard symbols the payout gets a 2x multiplier boost.
A payout of 3, 10 or 250 times your stake are on offer if you land 3, 4 or 5 scatters on the same spin. You’ll also activate the Free Spins feature. First pick from the selection of 6 fans. This will determine how many free spins you’ll receive. This will be between 8 and 38 free spins.
Next pick from the 6 dragons which will reveal a multiplier of between 2x and 18x which is in play throughout the feature. These multipliers can combine with the 2x wild to even greater effect – this means you can achieve multipliers of 36x in theory!
If you like super volatile action then Peking Luck should appeal. This is a very high variance game so you can expect lengthy spells of famine punctuated by the occasional tasty feast. That’s even true of the Free Spins feature which we found very hit and miss.
The very high volatility means that Peking Luck won’t be for everyone. If you can cope with the potential big swings and enjoy the Chinese carnival them then there’s plenty to like about Peking Luck. If you like volatile games, Madame Destiny from Pragmatic Play is another good option.
