BGamings newest slot offering, showcasing the celebrated Maneki-Neko, offers wealth and good fortune to its players.
This game, drawing inspiration from Japan, transports players to a mystical realm, enveloping them in the splendor of Eastern traditions. The charming Maneki-Neko, a classic symbol of luck, leads players toward riches in this medium-variance slot. Throughout their journey, players will encounter other fortunate icons such as tigers, pandas, turtles, cranes, and koi fish, all on a mission to uncover the blooming lotus. This lotus serves as a unique symbol, appearing on the second, third, and fourth reels and replacing all symbols except the game’s scatter. As for scatters, landing three or more golden Torii gates anywhere on the reels will activate free spins, granting players 10 free spins.
However, the true thrill resides in the game’s distinct Coin Collection mechanic. Every coin gathered increases the likelihood of reaching the sought-after Jackpot Round. Amass eight, and the Jackpot Round is assured, presenting four separate jackpots, with a maximum reward of 3,000 times the initial wager! During free spins, the Coin Collection mechanic becomes even more alluring, as each gathered coin has the potential to activate the Jackpot Round.
This online slot machine boasts a distinct “Gilded Emblem” feature, enabling players to select a maximum of five icons to transform into gold, directly influencing their path to unlocking the various jackpot tiers. Landing these gilded icons on the spinning reels yields greater payouts compared to their standard counterparts.
Every icon, excluding the Scatter, begins with an identical payout amount, but players have the ability to boost their potential rewards by designating which icons will turn gold.
This adventure-inspired slot possesses a Return to Player (RTP) of 96.38% and incorporates a sought-after “Bonus Purchase” option, permitting players to acquire free spin rounds with a predetermined quantity of golden icons. Procuring the bonus round ensures the appearance of three Scatter icons on reels 1, 3, and 5 on the subsequent spin. However, this functionality is deactivated if the “Chance x2” feature – offering marginally elevated wagers and an increased likelihood of activating free spins – is engaged.
Yulia Aliakseyeva, co-lead Product Owner at BGaming, conveyed her enthusiasm regarding the game: “Maneki-neko represents a universally acknowledged emblem of prosperity, and we possess unwavering confidence that players will experience its captivating allure in our latest creation.”
She elaborated, “The inclusion of the gold coin Wild icon further enhances the gameplay experience, as it presents players with a route towards the jackpot round and guarantees a jackpot victory.”
