Xiao Wukong Demo Slot - Review for Canadians, Demo Play & Payout Info

Introduction

This Skywind demo slot game is another of the growing number of Asian-themed slots available at online casinos in every jurisdiction. The makers, Skywind, have a reputation in this area, having produced many other games set in the Far East in general and using mythology in particular, as in Shen Qi Jiu Long. Some of their slots offer only the bare minimum of features, and although Xiao Wukong is quite limited, it does include a free spins bonus.

Xiao Wukong has a five-reel, three-column grid with 243 paylines. The minimum bet value is 0.60 and the maximum is 300. On the reels and the paytable there are nine regular symbols: a white monkey, a black monkey, two orange monkeys, three green monkeys plus five Chinese ideograms - yellow, blue, orange, white and black. The wild is the Warrior and the scatter is the Monkey King statue.

Theme, Graphics and Soundtrack

An intricately drawn backdrop of Chinese mountains, forests and ancient temples overgrown with moss and plants sits behind the semi-opaque reels. The illustrations borrow elements of anime and anthropomorphism, while the animations are more about flourish than fireworks. The musical accompaniment is a generic eastern-sounding piece played on strings and wind instruments to unobtrusive effect.

Xiao Wukong RTP and Variance

The Return to Player is 96.62 per cent, and the volatility or variance is medium.

How to Play Xiao Wukong

1. This is a slot with 243 paylines. Each spin costs 60x the coin bet. 
2. All wins pay from left to right only except for scatters, which trigger in any position. Any symbol may appear stacked on any reel. All winning combinations pay through any position on the reels. Of-a-kind wild wins are paid in addition to any other wins.
3. Click the minus and plus buttons, which are on either side of the Total Bet indicator, to increase or decrease the bet level. The 0.01 coin value is automatically multiplied by 60 to cover the cost of each spin at your chosen bet level.
4. If you wish to use auto mode, simply toggle the auto switch. You are not given the option to select a number of spins or to set the mode to end when a feature or other event occurs, like a win level or balance decrease. Once the mode is switched on the reels will spin automatically until you switch it off or until a feature is activated.
5. If you click and hold the play button, the reels will keep spinning until you release the button.
6. Toggle the turbo switch to on for fast spin mode. While you are in this mode some of the animations and sounds will be skipped. Toggle again to return to normal speed.
7. Press the green play button or the space bar to spin the reels at the current bet level. Press it again to stop the reels. A message on the screen reminds you of this facility.
8. Click on the coin button to open the reference page, which tells you more about the features of the game. On the last page select Press Here for playing instructions.
9. Your credit balance is displayed in the bottom left corner of the black bar and will be updated with each spin. You will find the mute button and game history button at the bottom right.

Xiao Wukong Review: Our Verdict

This is a basic combination of straightforward game play and free spins with no extra or surprises. As such it is entirely adequate without offering much to hold your attention. It is the kind of game in which auto play is very tempting because there is little in the individual spins to excite, so you tend to focus on the wins, which with a decent RTP are fairly satisfying.
