Jin Qian Bao Demo Slot - Review for Canadians, Demo Play & Payout Info

Introduction 

Jin Qian Bao is a Chinese-themed slot from game designer designer Aspect Gaming, specialists in Asian slots. The game is played on a 5x4 reel set which has 30 fixed bet ways which pay left to right.

There is a wild, a scatter symbol and a bonus gold coin which triggers a bonus game. The wild substitutes for all the other paying symbols, of which there are eight. In order of value these are Lucky Frog, Koi, Lotus Flower and Bamboo Shoots. These are supplemented by a Royal Suite of card symbols, Ace, King, Queen and Jack.

Free games are a major feature of Jin Qian Bao and are triggered by the scatter symbol when 3 appear anywhere on reels 1, 3 and 5 in the base game, rewarding the player with 5 free games. The scatter will only appear on the centre reel in free games, but this too involves another feature.

During this mode reels 2, 3 and 4 combine into a giant reel. When a winning combination appears in free spins the giant symbol on the centre reel will explode and for 9 smaller symbols. If the gold coin bonus symbol lands on the centre reel, it triggers the bonus game and its value will be paid 9 times. Free games can be re-triggered by a giant scatter symbol, and 3 more free spins are awarded.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack 

This is a Chinese-themed slot with an unusual title. Jin Qian Bao is a famous tea from the mountainous Guangxi Province, but also translates literally as spotted leopard. Strangely neither the tea bud nor the big cat appears in the game.

The plant itself is very colourful, and this is reflected in the reels and background to the game. The multi-coloured symbols sit on a rich green background which is framed by a golden arch which leads through to a fragrant garden in the hills, through a flowering arch.

The theme tune is a classic Chinese melody featuring stringed instruments from the region including the Erhu and Pipa. You can find a game with a similar theme but an improved RTP by trying the Fa Cai Shen slot right here. Alternatively there are other examples of an Asian inspired slot here at Slots Temple. 

Jin Qian Bao RTP and Variance 

Jin Qian Bao has an official RTP of 93.98% and should be seen as medium variance. Wins come along fairly regularly and the game ramps up in free games and the bonus feature.
