Theme, graphics & soundtrack

Based on the Chinese deities Fu, Lu and Shou, this Asian-themed slot has been designed from the bottom up to help players maximise their winning potential.

Set on a simplistic red background with mountains and clouds visible behind the reels, the game is guarded by two stone lions, which are also important in Chinese mythology. The reels are filled with traditional symbols you might expect to see in an Asian slot, such as lotus flowers, scrolls and fish.

The soundtrack is fun and upbeat and does a great job of adding a friendly and welcoming feel to the game. The music changes every so often during play, so it doesn’t get too repetitive. Specific jingles are set aside for each of the wild bonuses.

Bonus features

There are no free spins in Fu Lu Shou; however, there are plenty of bonuses available from the wild symbols, with each wild offering its own unique benefits:

Yellow wild

Whenever the yellow wild symbol lands, the symbols immediately above and below will also transform into wilds.

Green wild

Land a green wild anywhere on the reels to transform the symbols immediately to the left and right into wilds.

Red wild

The red wild is a multiplier and doubles any winnings you hit using this symbol.

Purple wild

Land a purple wild anywhere on the reels to trigger the respins feature in Fu Lu Shou. During this feature, any purple wilds will become sticky and hold in place while the reels spin again for free. Any new purple wilds landed during the respin will also become sticky and trigger another respin. This feature continues until no further purple wilds are landed.

Conclusion

In conclusion, we really enjoyed Fu Lu Shou. Firstly, we felt these were very appropriate gods to base a slot game on, as prosperity, status and longevity are certainly things we are hoping for when we play! The expanding wilds offered lots of excitement and we even managed to land the top prize with two conveniently placed green wilds; what’s more, we received plenty of bonuses from the multipliers and the respins trigger. Remember that your experience is unlikely to replicate ours.
