Asian Ways - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

Casimi have a talent for making apparently simple and traditional slots and then adding unexpected twists. Check out our Asian Ways slot review if you don’t believe us. An Asian-themed slot is nothing new, but the 4x3 layout is a little different. The 12 paylines don’t seem like much, but they can increase to 22 if you trigger the highly original re-spins bonus. It’s full of interesting details to really stand out.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

Well, the name is a giveaway. Like many video slots before it, the Asian Ways slot is Asian-themed. Specifically, it takes imagery from East Asia, particularly China. Now, you might think you’ve seen all this before, but it still has its own unique and striking style. The music is different too, with classic East Asian sounds given a modern, more dramatic arrangement.

The reddish background is familiar, but the dragon patterns and the Chinese lanterns hanging in front of it have a rich, luxurious tone that adds a touch of class. The flowers in the foreground make it even more inviting. The reels themselves are full of shining tiles embossed with a mix of the card symbols traditional to slot games and stylish depictions of traditional Chinese imagery like dragons or a koi Yin Yang symbol.

Asian Ways RTP and Variance

Some slot games change their RTP between casinos. It was true of the Big Bass Bonanza slot, and it’s true of Asian Ways. You need to check before you spin. We played with a reasonable 95.98% figure, but it could go down to a disappointing 94%.

Whilst every slot machine has a variance level, not every developer like to share. We can tell you, however, that the Asian Ways online slot is low-variance. It may be reassuring to know wins are more regular than a high-variance game, even if they’re smaller.

How to Play Asian Ways

All the controls we expect in our video slots are here:

1. Choosing sound is part of the loading screen, but there is a button on the main too. Or go into settings and find something that not all slot games allow - the splitting of background music and sound effects.
2. The top corner, on the other hand, is where you’ll find the menu, which you definitely want to peruse. It’s where you’ll find the help page and paytable.
3. It’s also where you’ll find settings. Buttons that start on the right can be moved to the left. Space bar to spin can be activated. You can decide if you want your balance to be visible (we recommend yes, as it makes it easier to stick to your limits). Language can be changed.
4. Most important before you start playing is a sensible and sustainable bet. Click the button and pick the best option for your budget.
5. Autoplay is under the main spin button, so you can keep the reels turning without having to keep clicking. It allows you to include your limits.

However you play, have fun! Just be responsible too.

Asian Ways Bonus Features

There was a time when a slot machine was just a slot machine, but modern video slots like to go all out with surprising and innovative bonus features. We’ve never seen re-spins quite like the ones in Asian Ways.

Gong Re-spins

They’re called re-spins but considering how many are available, they’re practically a free spins round:

1 or 2 gongs outside of middle row - 1 re-spin, then gong moves to middle row.

1 gong in the middle row, reels 2 or 3 = 4 re-spins.

2 gongs in the middle row, 1 reel 2, 1 reel 3 = 8 re-spins.

It sounds a little confusing, but it’s fun to play. Even better, the number of paylines increases.

Gamble

Slots with gamble features aren’t uncommon these days. This is a pretty standard one where you get to risk your winnings after a successful spin. You could double them; you could lose them. It all depends whether you correctly manage to guess red or black.

Asian Ways Review

It’s not Casimi’s best game, or a slot that’s going to revolutionise the industry, but Asian Ways is a lot of fun, and sometimes that’s all you need. The re-spins feature has an innovative format that might take some figuring out but dramatically improves your chances, and everything looks good and plays smoothly.
