Gu Gu Gu 2 Demo Slot - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Gu Gu Gu 2 Game Theme

We can’t be certain, but we think that Gu Gu Gu must be the Asian equivalent of ‘Cock-a-doodle-do’, since all the games feature chickens, roosters and eggs. It might seem unlikely to us, but the series of games has proved to be incredibly popular in Asian and Oriental markets. But that’s not so surprising when you consider that the software developer behind the games has a long and illustrious history in that part of the world. We might not be familiar with the range of CQ9 Gaming Slot Machines up until now, but that seems certain to change over the coming months.

Gu Gu Gu 2 Graphics & Soundtrack

Strange though the whole rooster-themed concept might seem, there’s no denying that the game has been beautifully crafted. Chinese lanterns hang from the pagoda in which the reels are set, and gently muted colours create a generally calming effect without detracting from the high level of artistic ability on display.

The soundtrack is a highly synthesised take on traditional oriental melodies. It’s a jaunty tune that might even get your toes tapping after a while. But if you find it too irritating, you can easily mute the sounds via the hamburger menu at the base of the reels.

How to Play Gu Gu Gu 2

Gu Gu Gu 2 is relatively straightforward to start playing. Adjust your bet using the ‘+’ and ‘-‘ buttons above and below the Spin button. You can select an amount which is staged between 0.75 and 90.00, so this is clearly a game with its sights set on every type of slots fan. Once you’re happy with your bet, you can press Spin to get the reels started. There’s an Autoplay button too, which you can access by hovering over the left-hand side of Spin. You can activate an infinite series of automatic spins or speed up the gameplay, or both.

An elaborately decorated drinks bottle, with glass, is the highest-paying symbol in the game, followed by the pineapple, fresh fig, Sharon fruit and lychee. Lower-value symbols are represented by the standard A, K, Q, J and 10.

There are also two additional symbols, the basket of golden eggs and the rooster, which trigger the bonus features of the game.

Gu Gu Gu 2 Bonus Features & Free Spins

Most Wilds stand in for other game symbols, but not many of them pay out just for landing them on their own. But the Golden Egg Wild will reward you with a cash prize if you spin up three or more across a payline. And, of course, it also fulfils the usual substitution role too, although it has another surprise in store here - whenever it features with other symbols in a winning combination, it cracks open to reveal a 5x multiplier. And that could massively boost winning payouts!

The Rooster is the Free Spins bonus symbol, although it doesn’t work in quite the way that Scatters usually do. In Gu Gu Gu 2, the rooster only appears on the first three reels of the game, but it can land in any position on those three reels and doesn’t have to conform to a payline. And once you’ve achieved those three roosters, you are presented with a choice of bonus rounds.

Play it safe with 25 Free Spins, all of which come with a 3x Multiplier. Or boost your potential cash prizes by choosing 15 Free Spins with a 5x Multiplier. However, high-rollers will almost certainly opt for just 10 Free Spins with an extremely generous 8x Multiplier.

If you only manage to land roosters on reels 1 and 2, you can pay for up to two Respins in the hope of spinning up that all-important third rooster, thereby triggering the Free Spins bonus.

RTP & Volatility

CQ9 haven’t yet grasped the idea of making public the RTP and volatility of their games, so we’re unable to provide our players with this information. However, as soon as it becomes available, we’ll update this section to let you know the relevant statistics.

Our Verdict

Gu Gu Gu 2 is a fun game with some really interesting bonus features to enjoy. But the lack of details about the RTP and volatility of the game makes us wary of playing this game at an online casino - at least until we’ve explored it more thoroughly in demo mode for ourselves. We can recommend it for its playability, but we advise slots fans to try the game out extensively before committing real cash to the game.
