Ox Riches Demo Slot - Review for Canadians, Demo Play & Payout Info

Introduction 

We’re always rather partial to an Asian inspired slot here at Slots Temple. We’ve got well over 700 of them to choose from here on our site as they’re hugely popular with developers and players alike. That’s because they often tend to feature gorgeous graphics and colours, with symbols that reflect great good fortune and wealth—what’s not to love about that?

Ox Riches from Playtech is particularly tempting, featuring a whole array of bonus features that help to raise this game well above the average. So let’s dive in and take a closer look. 

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack 

As with our hugely popular Fortune Lions free slot, Ox Riches is based around the theme of the Chinese New Year. So you’ll find a number of symbols denoting Chinese signs of the Zodiac, featuring animals including the rat, pig, rooster and, of course, the ox. They’re joined by some low-value playing card symbols and a few Special Symbols, represented by Chinese coins and gongs. The colours are rich, with plenty of lush red, green, purple and gold, and the graphics are beautifully detailed, as we’ve come to expect from Playtech. There’s an engaging Oriental soundtrack to provide some additional atmosphere in this well-crafted game. 

Ox Riches RTP and Variance

The game has a highly respectable RTP of 96%, suggesting that generous cash prizes could be within reach. But unfortunately, there are no volatility details for Ox Riches at the present time, which makes it a fairly risky prospect to play with real cash. It’s important to only play real-money slots with a volatility that chimes with your personal attitude towards risk, so this is a Playtech demo slot you need to explore before playing for real at an online casino. 

 
How to Play Ox Riches

The controls for Ox Riches are fairly easy and intuitive to understand, but the gameplay itself is a little more complex. For this reason, we recommend trialling the game for at least 200 spins in demo mode, and preferably more, particularly since the volatility is unknown.

1. Start by setting the cost of each spin, using the Total Bet controls to the bottom left of your screen. 
2. Now tap or click once on the Spin button to play out one game.
3. Activate the Autoplay feature, just to the left of Spin, to play out up to 100 automatic hands-free spins.
4. The Turbo button, just below Autoplay, speeds up gameplay.
5. The Information button to the far lower left of the screen leads you to the game’s instructions and paytable.
6. Mute game sounds from the speaker icon below the game screen. 

Bet Sizes & Paytable Wins 

It costs 50 coins to spin the reels of Ox Riches, so you can play from 0.50 to 500.00 per spin. This is a 243 Ways to Win game, so there are no paylines to worry about. Just match up symbols on adjacent reels, starting from the left, to win cash prizes, which are paid as multiples of your payline stake. And in the case of the Ox, you’ll only have to land two examples to win a cash payout.

10, J, Q, K, A = 2x, 5x, 20x

Rat = 5x, 10x, 30x

Rooster = 7x, 15x, 50x

Dog = 10x, 20x, 60x

Pig = 15x, 30x, 70x

Ox = 5x, 20x, 50x, 500x

Gong Scatter = 8x, 18x, 88x

Ox Riches Bonus Features & Free Spins 

The golden Wild only appears on the central three reels, but it can stand in for all other symbols on the paytable, apart from the Gong Scatter. An appearance by a Wild also increases the likelihood of the Jackpot game being triggered, with the chances becoming higher with every additional Wild on the reels.

Gold coins with a square hole at their centre are the game’s Bonus symbols. Land six or more on the reels with a single spin to activate Prosperity Spins. All other game symbols are removed, with coins held in place for 3 free Respins. New coins landing award three more Respins, with all cash amounts added up once the feature ends. But if you manage to fill the grid with coins you’ll win the Grand Jackpot prize displayed at the top of your screen. There are also three other Jackpot prizes that could be won—the Mini, Minor and Major Jackpots. 

Landing three Gong Scatters or three golden Wilds on consecutive reels activates the Prosperous Choice feature. Select one of two gongs to be awarded either Prosperity Spins or 8 Free Spins. Free Spins can be retriggered, but Chinese coins won’t appear during this feature.

The Jackpot Feature requires players to match up three symbols to win one of the corresponding Jackpot prizes, and can be triggered at any time. 

Ox Riches Review

Fans of Oriental-themed games will find plenty to enjoy in this hugely engaging game from Playtech. With gorgeous graphics, an immersive soundtrack and a whole array of bonus features, this is a game aimed at players who like to see plenty of winning opportunities spinning up on the reels.

But before you go dashing off to your favourite online casino, we offer a word of caution. With no volatility details yet published, there’s potential to lose cash playing Ox Riches, even when you seem to be spinning up plenty of winning combinations. So test your luck before you rely on it, and explore this game for free here on our site.
