Jingwei - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

Enter a peaceful-feeling world where mythological creatures and symbols combine to bring good fortune from a tragic tale. Based on a story from Chinese mythology, this 5x3 slot aims to take you on an Oriental adventure where you could uncover prizes and bonuses such as free spins, wilds, and scatter wins.

Jingwei Theme and Storyline

A huge-eyed, somewhat sad-looking girl welcomes you to this slot before taking her place on reels set amidst the lush greenery of a Chinese forest. You presume this girl is Yandi’s daughter Nüwa, who is central to the theme of this slot. According to Chinese mythology, Nüwa drowned in the Eastern Sea while playing and transformed into Jingwei, a mystical, mythical birth. 

Jingwei translates as Spirit Guardian and is a Chinese mythological goddess. It is said that Jingwei has a mission to fill the sea and constantly carries a twig or pebble in her mouth, which she drops into the Easter Sea where Nüwa drowned. If you like the oceanic theme, along with the slant that KA Gaming brings to it, you may also want to take a look at KA's Secret of Ocean slot.

Jingwei RTP and Variance 

This choice of KA Gaming demo slots has an unknown RTP and variance, so it will be well worth you giving this game a go in free play mode before playing for real money. This will allow you to gain a risk-free insight into how the game plays, although it is important to remember that each playing session can vary and RTPs are based on very long-term averages anyway. We gave Jingwei a spin, and when we played, it performed like a medium to high-volatility slot. Winning combinations did not appear on every spin, but some of the prizes were impressive when they did arrive. There is no shortage of celebration when this happens, either, as larger wins are announced by an animation of flying coins and lots of joyful music as you watch the prize counter grow and grow.

How to Play Jingwei

Start enjoying the Jingwei slot with the following top tips:

1. The Jingwei slot features thematic Chinese-style music and mechanical spinning and stopping sounds. If these features don’t enhance your game, you can turn them off. You can find the sound settings by clicking on the 3-line bar tab and clicking on the speaker symbol.
2. In this triple bar menu, you will also find the game history and the paytable.
3. Your playing balance, wins, and total bet are displayed beneath the reels. Make sure that you keep an eye on these in order to ensure that you always play responsibly and stick to the playing budget that you should set before you spin. This is especially important if you choose to play for real money.
4. The stack of chips is the symbol you need to access the bet settings. Here you can choose your total bet from the menu of options offered, or you can use the plus and minus symbols to scroll up and down the options. There is a Max Bet button if you want to jump straight to the top bet of 150.00 per spin.
5. There is a turbo button next to the spin tab that you can hit if you want the game to play at a faster speed. Just be aware that this can really make your balance run down quickly - unless the wins roll in, of course.

Jingwei Bet Sizes & Paytable Wins

You can play from 0.30 to 150.00 per spin. This is a fairly wide betting range that offers plenty of choice for cautious spinners and higher rollers alike. The paytable changes according to how much you decide to stake, and prizes are offered for matching 3, 4, or 5 symbols. The top available wins are:

Jingwei 2,500

Yan Emperor (also known as Yandi) 1,500

Chinese forest 1,000

Sticks and stones 625

A-9 250

3 of the sea scatter symbols can also reward you with a prize of up to 750.00. The scatter is the only icon in the game that can pay wherever it lands on your reels and not just from left to right.

Jingwei Bonus Features

If you are looking for a slot with free spins, Jingwei may be an option for you. The scatters trigger the free spins bonus. The Eastern Sea scatter icons appear on reels 2, 3, and 4, and 3 of them will award you with 12 free spins. During the free spins, the scatters can become wild symbols. Wild symbols also appear on reels 2, 3, 4, and 5 in the base game. As you might expect, these can substitute for all of the other icons in the slot except for the scatters.

Jingwei Review

This feels like a gentle slot - until big wins roll in and golden coins start to fly towards you. You won’t be complaining about this, though, and when we played, this happened a couple of times. No, there weren’t wins on every spin, but some of the prizes were well worth the wait. We didn’t manage to hit the free spins bonus when we played, but good fortune could be on your side if you give this game a try. It isn’t the most exciting slot around - and there are definitely some with many more bonus features - but it is a fairly pleasurable ride and one that you might appreciate more than once.
