Mythical Fire Qilin Demo Slot - Review for Canadians, Demo Play & Payout Info

Introduction 

Will the magical qilin of Chinese mythology use its magic to elevate your winning potential when you play this Asian-themed 3x5 slot from August Gaming? Prepare to enter a jungle filled with an abundance of bamboo and shimmering gold in which you will spin the reels beneath the slot’s sizzling logo. The energetic soundtrack will get your adrenaline pumping, as will the action on the 50 fixed paylines.

Theme of the Mythical Fire Qilin slot

The Mythical Fire Qilin slot is based on the idea of a qilin, or kirin, which is a hooved chimerical creature found in East Asian and Chinese mythology. It is said to appear if an illustrious ruler or sage appears or leaves and is depicted as a one-horned beast, often with features similar to a Chinese dragon. The qilin is believed to have magical powers and can uplift good people - will this be you when you play?

The game is set in a jungle in which bamboo plants prevail. The reels are surrounded by a shimmering golden frame, with the game logo blazing above. At the time of writing, there were no other games based on exactly the same theme; however, there are games that focus on Chinese mythology’s four benevolent animals, including the Phoenix Forge slot.

Mythical Fire Qilin RTP and variance

We have seen the RTP of this slot announced as everything from a slightly low 95 per cent to a very respectable 97.22 per cent. It is a medium variance game but manages to offer the excitement that some middle-of-the-road slots can lack.

How to play Mythical Fire Qilin

This choice of August Gaming slots online has a clear interface, but here are some tips if you need them:

1. Before you start playing this mythology themed slot, head into the settings menu to personalize your experience. You will find the menu tab beneath the reels in the desktop version of the game.
2. We quite liked the Chinese-inspired soundtrack; however, you can turn it off in the menu settings section if you don’t feel the same way about it. This is where you will also find the tab to turn the turbo mode on if you like to play at a faster speed.
3. Beneath the reels is a paytable tab - click this to see the potential wins on offer. Use the arrow in the bottom right-hand corner to scroll through the available information, which includes details about the possible winning combinations and the rules of the game.
4. Click on the X in the top right-hand corner of the desktop screen to leave the settings and paytable menus and return to the main screen.
5. Use the right and left arrows to choose how much to bet on each spin. To break the options down further, click on the tab labelled ‘bet’. This will enable you to change the bet level from one to 40 and the coin value from 0.01 to 0.10. 

Bet sizes & paytable wins 

Bets in this game start at 0.50 for 50 fixed paylines and go up to a fairly large 200.00 per spin. Your total bet is based on a variable combination of the bet level and coin value. Wins are displayed in the paytable, which is accessed via the button below the reels on the desktop screen. The lowest wins, as you might expect, are reserved for the playing card symbols, whilst the higher-paying icons are more specific. 

Here are some of the maximum wins on offer for the symbols:

• Nine, ten, jack = 20x the line bet
• Queen, king = 30x
• Ace = 40x
• Hatching qilin egg = 40x
• Golden fish and mountains = 55x
• Golden turtle statues = 85x
• Guardian lion = 333x

Mythical Fire Qilin bonus features 

Wilds

Blazing qilins can fly onto all reels except the first as the wilds of the game. When they land, they expand and you will be rewarded with a respin after a great animation showing the mythical title creature in all its shimmering glory. You will get another respin if another qilin lands on the reels and this can happen up to four times. If you get this sort of quadruple luck, you can almost be assured of a fairly decent win, although nothing can be guaranteed in these spinning games of chance and fortune. You also need to be prepared for the frustration of landing expanding qilins on reels four and five but with no winning connections to be made across the other three reels.

Mythical Fire Qilin review: our verdict

This slot offers lots of reasons to play, from the eye-catching wild animations to the winning potential and high betting limits on offer. If you like games that manage to successfully mix excitement with entertainment, Mythical Fire Qilin could be the slot for you.
