Jade Heaven - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

If you’re a fan of free play Casino Technology slots, you’ll love Jade Heaven. Combining a gorgeous Asian theme with well balanced gameplay, this slot is all about the yin and yang, the wild and the scatter. The Mandarin replaces all symbols except the yin and yang and rewards players by doubling their wins.

If you’ve played CT Gaming slots before, you’ll know how rock solid they are when it comes to the bonus features. They’re not plentiful, but they are highly rewarding with a 3x multiplier on all free spins wins.

Including the special symbols, there are 13 paytable symbols in total, all of which pay out. The 5 high paytable symbols are superbly well drawn.

There are no great surprises here, but if you like your slots with high replayability and ease of use, then Jade Heaven deserves a few demo mode spins on all your devices including mobile and tablet.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

This slot is familiar territory for the developers at CT Gaming, who have created their own richly coloured and detailed aesthetic, especially in their Asian themed slots.

The portraits of the main characters - the mandarin, his daughter and her lover - are gorgeously drawn. In fact, every element of the design creates a peaceful yet opulent effect in line with the meaning of jade itself.

There’s a decent east meets west soundtrack, but that’s limited to the free spins. Otherwise, true to their name, this Casino Technology slot features traditional slot machine sounds and not much else.

RTP & Volatility

This high volatility slot has a distinctly average RTP of 95.7%. The top prize of just over 1,000X your stake may not be enough for the big risk takers, but this classic slot should appeal to most players.

How to play Jade Heaven

1. The relevant settings for Jade Heaven are located in all four corners of the reels. This setup will be familiar to fans of CT Gaming slots.

2. Click the i in the top left corner to access game info and the dynamic paytable.

3. Set your game denomination by tapping or clicking the widget in the top right corner.

4. The settings menu bottom left gives you access to the following functionality:
- Line bets
- Paylines
- Autospins, with between 5 and 1,000 autoplay games on offer.

5. If you prefer to set a total bet, click on the total bet box under the reels and adjust your stake to one that fits with your session budget and lets you play responsibly.

6. Finally, hit the red spin button in the bottom right corner to launch Jade Heaven.

Min & Max Bets + Top Wins

You can get quite granular with the staking structure in this slot by selecting the following options in the settings menu:

- Number of paylines between 1, 5, 10, 12 and 15
- Line bets between 0.01 and 0.20

You can also change the denomination from 0.01 to 0.05 per spin.

That gives you a minimum bet of just 0.01 playing over 1 line.

Most players will opt to maximise their chances of winning by playing all 15 lines for stakes between 0.15 and 15.00 coins per spin. The biggest win comes from the base game, where 5 Mandarin wilds will reward you 666.66x your stake, which doubles up to just over 1,000x. That said, in gameplay you’re more likely to hit a maximum 3 of a kind. There are also triple wins available in the free spins, but given the high volatility of this slot, they’re hard to land.

The 5 of a kind wins available from the paytable are as follows:

- Mandarin pays 666.66x
- Yin and yang scatter pays 100x
- Young woman pays 50x
- Young man pays 50x
- Tiger pays 26.66x
- Frog & Turtle pay 16.66x
- K & A pay 8.33x
- 9-Q pay 6.66x

Bonus Features

This slot features perfectly balanced gameplay with wilds and free spins.

Mandarin wild

This symbol appears on any reel and substitutes for every symbol except the Yin and Yang scatter. All wild wins have multipliers of 2x, except in the free spins feature.

Free spins feature

Land 3 or more scatters to trigger 15 free games. These games are played on a new set of reels and every win is tripled with a 3x multiplier. Land 3 or more scatters during the free spins feature to retrigger an additional 15 free spins.

Our Verdict

This game has its drawbacks, but if you’re looking for classic pick up and play entertainment, it’s a solid choice.

The multiplier wins in the base game and free spins deliver great potential, although you’re likely to land much smaller wins than the top prize of over 1,000x your stake.

The Jade Butterfly slot is a similarly attractive and simple to play game.
