Eight Immortals Demo Slot - Review for Canadians, Demo Play & Payout Info

Introduction

A simple 5x3 layout and 25 paylines are displayed in gorgeous anime-style detail to depict the legendary title characters of Eight Immortals, an exciting slot from Dreamtech. It makes good use of its Asian and mythological roots to portray an immersive setting, and it also doesn’t skimp on the bonus features, with both multipliers and free spins available. If you liked the character and story of the Immortal Guild slot, this may be one for you.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

In Chinese mythology, the Eight Immortals are a group of powerful beings that live on the legendary island of Mount Penglai. They’re incredibly popular not just in Taoism but even in secular parts of Chinese culture, making appearances throughout literature and film.

In Eight Immortals the slot, these infamous figures are depicted in dreamy cartoon graphics that could come straight out of a manga or anime, each with their own colour to easily distinguish them. It makes it as much a fantasy themed slot as it does an Asian-based offering.

There’s a delicacy to the colours and details that is reflected in a decided Eastern-sounding melody in the background. Translucent reels allow sea, clouds and jumping fish to be visible, though not always clearly, adding to a slightly mystical feel. There’s also constant movement to bring the whole thing to life.

Eight Immortals RTP and Variance

Now we always like to remind you that RTP is a guideline figure and not a guarantee of how much you’ll win. However, we have to say that 96% is a good starting point, even you do face some variations once the game is actually underway. There doesn’t appear to be any official variance information.

How to Play Eight Immortals

This slot is as easy to play as it is good to look at:

1. Every button you need is labelled, including the little diamond that says “Rules” down towards the bottom left corner of the screen. That’s where you’ll find a comprehensive guide to paytable, paylines and bonus features.
2. In the top right-hand corner you’ll find the settings gear. This is where you can control sound, access game history and look at how basic gameplay works through the help page.
3. Up in the top left corner is your current balance - handy for sticking to the budget that you surely set before you opened the game.
4. Now we go back down beneath the reels, where on the left you see your current line bet, bet multiplier and total bet, complete with plus and minus symbols if you want to adjust them. Unfortunately, the high rollers among you can’t just hit Max Bet, like in some slots.
5. At the centre of the screen is where your wins will be displayed.
6. On the right there are two buttons. The first is labelled “Speed” and is simply on or off, depending on how fast you want the reels to turn and how you (or your computer/phone) feel about animations.
7. Second is autoplay. Here you can set a number of spins - 25, 50, 100, 200 or 500 - that will turn automatically unless you hit stop. Convenient if you want to play for a while, less so if you want to change your settings regularly, especially as you can’t incorporate your loss and single win limits.
8. The regular Spin button is particularly large and particularly bright right next to autoplay. However you choose to do it, remember to have fun and not to chase losses. Give the free demo a spin before you try the real money version, just to make sure it’s the game for you.

Bet & Win Sizes

Your line bet ranges from 0.1 to 10. Multiply that by your 25 fixed paylines and you have a total bet of between 2.5 and 250.

You win when you match three or more symbols consecutively from left to right across a payline, except for Scatters than can pay from anywhere. The base values of each symbol are as follows (referred to by their colour rather than their character for ease of recognition):

Red - 10, 60, 100

Turquoise - 10, 70, 100

Bright Green - 20, 100, 200

Pink - 30, 100, 200

Purple - 40, 150, 200

Dark Green - 70, 150, 400

Blue - 70, 200, 600

Yellow - 100, 700, 1500

Scatter - 5, 40, 100

Eight Immortals Bonus Features

Wild Multipliers

Now you know the general purpose of a Wild is to substitute for other symbols (except the Scatter) to potentially complete a winning line. In Eight Immortals, however, it also has an extra special feature. Wins that use the Wild, whether in the base game or during free games, come with a randomly assigned multiplier of either 1x, 2x, 3x, 5x, 10x, 20x, 40x or 100x. You can see multipliers displayed above the reels.

Free Games

Three or more Scatters, wherever they might land, can trigger the free games round. You’ll be awarded a pretty decent 15 free games to start, but you also have potentially limitless retriggers if you’re very lucky and manage to keep finding more Scatters.

Eight Immortals Review

This is a beautiful-looking slot, full of life and character. You’ll probably find yourself going and looking up the original Eight Immortals myths just out of curiosity because the figures you see on these reels are so intriguing. Good graphics are nothing without good gameplay, though, and Eight Immortals has that too, from its smooth base game to the Wild multipliers to the opportunity for free games.
