Ling Chang - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

With Ling Chang game maker Design Works has delivered one of its riskier slots, which may have a limited market. The game is another example of their interest in single bet way slots. It plays on a simple 3x1 reel, but fortunately 3 are some features which help the player.

A number of wilds feature on reel 3, and each one has a multiplier attached. This means that just one symbol on the payline can trigger a win which is paid as a multiple of the value appearing on the paytable.

In all there are 8 paying symbols and 5 wilds which pay when landing in isolation on the reels. The 8 symbols are, in order of value, Ling Chang, Green 8, Orange 8 and Blue 8. These are followed by Triple Bar, Double Bar, Single Bar and finally Peaches.

Fans of this game maker's work will find other Design Works Gaming free play slots to enjoy here at Slots Temple. Meanwhile, if the Asian theme is a favourite and you want to try a slot with a similar RTP but 243 paylines, why not play the Caishen's Gold slot available to play for free here at Slots Temple. 

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack 

This Asian-themed slot has a basic design, which is hardly surprising since it only has 1 pay line and 3 reels. The reels have a golden frame, and sit on a green background with the simple controls on either side.

The only symbol which has a detailed design is the title character who has a golden headdress and a gentle smile, hardly surprising since golden coins are falling down upon him. The soundtrack is the background noise one would expect from a retro slot as the reels spin and fall into place.

Although Chang Ling is credited with founding Taoism, we are not sure what the reverse title here is supposed to portray. If you are a fan of an Asian inspired slot you can find more here at Slots Temple.

Ling Chang RTP and Variance

Ling Chang has an official RTP of 96.65% and we would rate it towards the top end of medium variance. Wins come along at the rate one would anticipate given this volatility rating, but there is a wide betting range and so players can protect their balance whilst they assess the game.

Ling Chang Bonus Features 

The 5 multiplier wilds appear only on reel 3, but substitute for all other symbols on the payline.
 
When this occurs in a 2 of a kind or 3 of a kind combination on consecutive reels the multiplier applies. These wilds are also paying symbols in their own right.

Ling Chang Review 

This game may have limited appeal, given the single payline. A lot of players may be put off, but check out the pay table and you may change your mind. There are lots of chances to win with the wild providing chances with symbols on the centre reel. This is an unusual feature, but is welcome here where the medium variance makes wins less frequent than one might expect on such a reel set.

The bonus feature of the multiplier wilds paying alone on the third reel is another big plus, and of course they provide bigger wins when they combine with all the other symbols.
