Hong Long - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

An excellent Asian-themed game from DLV, Hong Long features a male and female couple as well as various Chinese motifs. The game’s five reels hold ten paylines and include bonus features such as the Expanding Wild, Free Spins and an excellent Gamble Feature.

Theme & Graphics

Asian-themed games, more specifically Chinese-themed games, are hugely popular in the world of slots, both online and offline. The appeal of these games is a combination of factors. Firstly, Chinese folklore and mythology weigh heavily on concepts such as fate and fortune; and secondly, because Chinese culture has many symbols and motifs that are ideal for slot symbols. Asian-themed games are as popular in Europe and the US as they are in Asia.

Borrowing the familiar graphics of Asian-themed games, this slot features a colour palette of gold and red as well as ornate gold detailing around the reels. Symbols are also familiar and include a lotus flower, golden carp, temples, a dragon and a male and female character. The lower-scoring symbols are the playing card digits of 9 to A in a thick Chinese-style font. Simple retro slot sound FX transport you to the floor of a real-life casino.

Hong Long Bonus Features

Expanding Wild

The Dragon symbol is an Expanding Wild that appears only on reel 3. When it does, it expands to fill the entire reel and substitutes for all other symbols, apart from the Scatter.

Free Spins

Free Spins are triggered by the appearance of three or more Tiger Scatter symbols. This will start 15 free spins. During the feature the appearance of three Tiger symbols will trigger another 15 free spins. The Dragon Wild symbol can also appear in reels 2, 3 or 4, again expanding and substituting when it does.

Gamble Feature

The Gamble Feature is available on every win. If players decide to gamble, they will need to make a Black/Red card pick which will either ‘double or nothing’ the win.

Our Verdict

A beautifully crafted, if somewhat unoriginal, Asian-themed game from DLV, Hong Long is a great choice for someone that loves this particular genre. The highlights of the slot include the excellent Gamble feature, which is available after every win, and the Expanding Wild, which shows up even more in the Free Spins feature. The Free Spin feature gives out 15 free games, with the chance of retriggering. A bold red and gold colour theme is accompanied by retro slot sound FX, whilst the chance of some pretty big wins certainly adds to its appeal.
