Chi You - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction 

KA Gaming has produced another slot with an intriguing theme and a decent RTP that will attract quite a few players. The game has 5x4 reels with 50 fixed paylines that pay from left to right as a multiple of the line wager. The exception is when the scatter lands a minimum of three times, which pays as a multiple of the total bet.

The game has a wild symbol that also pays and substitutes for all other symbols apart from the scatter. There are six character symbols supplemented by five implements, making a total of 11 regular paying symbols.

The scatter triggers the free spins. During this phase of the game, a multiplier is applied. This feature can re-trigger.

On any losing spin, there is a chance of landing the fire line feature whereby symbols will change.

Fans of this designer’s work will find many more KA Gaming demo slots to try for free here at Slots Temple. These include KA Gaming's Secret of Ocean slot, which may well appeal. It has a similar RTP and although it has fewer paylines (40), it has mystery symbols. 

Theme, graphics and soundtrack 

‘Chi’ in Chinese means ‘the hornless dragon’, which is often depicted with six limbs and no face. In Chi You, players will find symbols that reflect this image and characters reflecting an ancient Chinese court. 

Although the symbols in Chi You are well designed, they do not really add to a narrative. This would enhance the game. All the male and female characters are enchanting but do not tell a story, which would help to make the theme of the hornless dragon more entertaining.

The soundtrack is characteristic of a Chinese slot but does not really add to the enjoyment of the game.

Chi You RTP and variance 

The RTP of Chi You is 96 per cent, which is fairly typical of this designer’s slots and bang on the industry average. The variance is low.

Chi You bonus features 

Fire line

On any losing spin, there is a chance that the fire line feature will be triggered. A payline is chosen at random and all the symbols are replaced with any symbols other than the wild and the scatter, meaning a winning line can be formed.

Free spins

When three scatters appear, 15 free spins are awarded. Four or five scatters trigger 20 or 25 free spins. In all these spins, a 3x multiplier applies to the winnings. This feature can re-trigger just once.

If you enjoy games with a free spins bonus, you will find many more right here at Slots Temple. 

Chi You review: our verdict

Chi You is a well-designed game but the theme is a little unclear. This is disappointing, as it is always good to follow a story in a slot, especially those based on Chinese myth. Nevertheless, the game is appealing and has a few good features. There is a chance of the fire line feature triggering on any losing spin, which is a real bonus. The wild and scatter pay and there are free games that can re-trigger. The RTP is average and the low variance means low wins can come along pretty regularly. The game has a wide bet spread and should attract players of all risk levels - even high rollers may like to try their luck.
