Fu Yin Yang Slot Review

So, here’s the thing that disturbs me about the yin-yang symbol: it looks like two tadpoles 69’ing each other. And you know it, so don’t even try to argue, or take a righteous stance.

And speaking of worrying things, there’s something deeply concerning about the boy to the left of the 5x3-reel grid on Fu Yin Yang slot (from Netgame).

Just take a look; he’s stroking a koi fish and the poor thing desperately wants to get away. Which it would, of course, coz it’s a damn fish, and fish aren’t meant to be out of water, nor are they supposed to be petted by some vacuous kid.

Before I call the S.P.C.A., I think it’s best we get to grips with the game.

Gameplay

OK, so worrying things aside, what’s right about this game is how Fu Yin Yang slot looks in any orientation. The grid is huge in landscape mode, while in portrait mode it takes on a cool shape, thanks to the decorations at the top where the jackpots are.

Now, some slots look all cute but are deceptive because they pack a punch in the stats department. This game ain’t like that. It has a medium volatility rate, so the max win is just €60,000 and there are only 5 paylines.

As for the RTPRTP stands for “Return to Player.” The RTP describes the total bet amount that a game returns to players over millions of spins, and that figure is represented by a percentage. Table games, such as Roulette, typically have higher RTPs than many slots.

, that’s 96.34% and there are no currency limitations so you can play using the fiat or crypto of your choice.

Let’s talk about symbols. There’s a Mystery one and its purpose is to reveal similar symbols (it just won’t reveal Bonus symbols).

There’s also a Wild in this game, which replaces all symbols other than Bonus symbols and Cash Spheres. You’ll see Wilds roaming about on reels 2 to 5 in the base game and Wilds can be revealed by Mystery symbols on any of the reels during Free Spins.

Cash Spheres can be found during the base game, in the Free Spins round, during the Hold ‘n’ Win bonus game, and Mystery symbols can also reveal them. Spheres can carry multiplier values of 1x to 5x, 10x, 15x, 20x, 50x, or 100x your total bet.

Features

FREE SPINS:

Landing 3 or more Bonus Scatters brings about the Free Spins round. This will award you 6 spins and you’ll get paid 2x, 10x, or 100x your total bet, depending on whether you landed 3, 4, or 5 Scatters respectively.

Mystery symbols can appear during Free Spins, meaning that at the end of the round, all Mystery symbols will reveal the same symbol (just not the Cash Spheres as I mentioned earlier).

HOLD ‘N’ LINK BONUS:

You’ll need to hit 6 or more Cash Spheres simultaneously to trigger this feature. You know the drill here – triggering symbols become sticky and the other positions on the reels spin (you’ll only see Cash Spheres or nothing at all on the reels; no other symbols come into play).

You’ll be awarded 3 spins at the start of the round and each newly-landed Cash Sphere will reset that number to 3. The game continues until you run out of spins, or you land 15 Cash Spheres, in which case you’ll have nailed the 1,200x multiplier.

JACKPOTS:

You’ll be able to land Jackpots in 3 ways – they’ll either appear on spheres during the base game; during the Hold ‘n’ Link Bonus round; or the Mystery symbols will reveal them.

There are 3 types of Jackpots, and they pay out like this:
Mini: 20x your total bet
Minor: 100x your total bet
Major: 250x your total bet

Performance

Unlike that poor koi battling to get out of the leering kid’s grasp, Fu Yin Yang slot didn’t struggle (with its performance). I played it on multiple devices and browsers, and it was mercifully hassle-free.

Maximum Win

There’s a decent betting spread here – from €0.05 to €50 – and the max win is €60,000, which comes off the back of the max bet along with the 1,200x multiplier.

Conclusion

Disturbing koi-stroking animations aside, Fu Yin Yang slot is an attractive game that you can play on any device. Now, regarding the features, there’s not much to be pessimistic about. You get Free Spins with multipliers, a classic Hold & Win feature, as well as Mystery symbols.

I feel like a Buy Bonus would’ve been nice – certainly to fast-track into the Free Spins round, at the very least – but it’s not a dealbreaker that it hasn’t been included.

The features triggered fairly regularly during testing, so I never got too bored during the base game. Yeah, so it’s a solid offering for those who like medium-volatility games and aren’t too hectic about chasing max wins.
