Celestial Ruler - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

Celestial Ruler is a great example of Casino Technology slots. With its variable RTP (return to player), it's important to check the RTP at the casino you're playing at before committing real money to the game. The volatility can also vary depending on where you play. This is a traditional five-reel slot with a Chinese theme. There are no surprises or special features here - it's just a simple slots game. There is an optional double-up feature that is triggered if you land a win worth less than 10x your total bet. Larger wins won't trigger this feature. There are no free spins or bonus rounds in Celestial Ruler.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

Celestial Ruler has a Chinese casino theme and is an attractively designed slot. The reels are set against the backdrop of a dimly lit casino and really stand out with their bright colours and intricate design. The symbols are bold and colourful and you'll notice they become animated whenever they're part of a winning combo. The game has a fairly minimal soundtrack - there are sound effects when the reels spin but little in the way of music until you land a win. It's an unobtrusive soundtrack that doesn't become irritating like many do. Check out Star Gods online slot if you enjoy this one.

How to Play

In keeping with the game's simple feel, it's very straightforward to play. The slot only has five paylines and these are fixed, meaning there is very little room for manoeuvre. Here are step-by-step instructions to help you get started.

1. Click on the settings button on the screen. This is a simple outline of a cog. When you click on the button, a pop-up menu will appear. You'll be able to change your bet here by using the plus and minus buttons. As this game has fixed paylines, you can't change how many lines you bet on.

2. When you've used the plus and minus buttons to set the bet to your desired level, click on the settings button again and the pop-up window will close.

3. Hit the spin button and the reels will start to spin.

That's all there is to the game - just set your bet and click on the spin button. If you wish to use the autoplay option, you can do this in the same settings menu. Click on the settings button to open the pop-up and select how many autoplay spins you want to set up. Then close the window and your spins will begin. If you want to stop your automatic spins, you can do this at any time by pressing the spin button.

How to win at Celestial Ruler

In order to land a win, you'll need to create winning combos of three or more matching symbols on a payline. As there are only five paylines, it's hard to get multiple wins on a single spin.The wild symbol (a golden dragon) subs for all other game symbols except the scatter. The scatter is the only symbol that doesn't need to be on a payline in order to deliver a win. It's also the highest paying symbol in the game. Three or more scatters landing anywhere on the reels will deliver a payout.

The game pays out from left to right, starting with the leftmost reel.

Bonus Features

It's not really a bonus feature, but there is a gamble option at the end of each winning round, providing the win is less than 10x your total bet. You'll be given the option to gamble your win for a larger win or just collect what you've won. If you choose the double-up option, a pop-up window appears and you'll play a 'guess whether the next card is red or black' from a face-down deck game. Beware, you could lose your winnings if you choose wrongly.

If you enjoy the gamble feature, you'll find lots of other slots that offer this.

Our Verdict

5/10. The lack of special features such as free spins and bonus games makes this slots game seem dull compared to many of the slots out there. The variable RTP is also a cause for concern as this can vary hugely between sites. Always make sure you check the RTP of any game with a variable RTP before committing real cash as you might be shocked by how low it is. The double-up feature of this game is nothing new and doesn't add enough interest to boost its score.
