Chinese Paladin - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

A truly atmospheric slot game with sumptuous graphics, Chinese Paladin is the Asian game you have been waiting for. With five reels, nine paylines that pay both ways and an RTP of 97.03 per cent, it is time to journey east and discover the mystical secrets of Ancient China. Bonus features in the Chinese Paladin slot game from Dreamtech Gaming include the scatter and wild symbols, the latter of which doubles wins. The game also boasts a massive betting range from 0.01 to 900, variable paylines, and a mystery progressive jackpot. 

Theme and graphics

Forget about everything you imagine when you think of Asian-themed games, as you won’t find dated visuals, a red and gold colour scheme or tired New Year symbols in this game. Chinese Paladin is part of a new generation of Asian-themed slot games with clean, intricate graphics and a fresh look. 

Beyond the reels, a cloudy sky, a mountain range and ornamental trees make up the atmospheric backdrop. The reels, which are outlined by a temple structure, are filled with Chinese letter symbols, two young women, a scroll, a money bag, a book and a bell. 

The meditative Chinese soundtrack is optional but sets the tone for this game, transporting you to a mystical and long-forgotten China. 

Chinese Paladin RTP and variance

Chinese Paladin bonus features 

Wild 

The wild symbol substitutes for all other symbols, including the scatter. When the wild helps to form a winning combination, it doubles the win. 

Scatter 

The scatter symbol pays out for landing anywhere two or more times. The scatter win is multiplied by the total bet, not just by the line bet. 

Mystery progressive jackpot

The progressive jackpot amount can be seen above the reels, increasing as you play. The feature can be triggered at any time after a spin, regardless of whether the spin is a winning one, although the chance of triggering the jackpot feature is higher when you make a larger total bet. 

For this feature, a new screen appears with four coloured chests in each corner and a bonus wheel in the centre. Spin the wheel to collect coloured gems - should you collect three of one colour, the corresponding chest will open. Should you open the red chest, you will win 100 per cent of the jackpot, with purple paying 50 per cent, blue 20 per cent and yellow 10 per cent.

Chinese Paladin review: our verdict

A truly charming and calming slot game from Dreamtech Gaming, the visuals and sounds are central to this game’s success. We loved the pay both ways feature, the scatter wins, the multiplier wild and the vast betting range. We also love that you can activate just one payline if you want to play it safe. 

The game’s standout feature is the mystery progressive jackpot, which can trigger at any time and starts with an exciting bonus wheel game. Even winning 10 per cent of the jackpot is a sizable amount in Chinese Paladin.
