Macau Beauties - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

You will be transported to the heart of the gambling nightlife on China’s south coast, surrounded by beautiful women and even more beautiful prizes. This is a 2019 release from Rubyplay, taking the standard 5x3 format but with 50 paylines.

Above the reels, you will find four amounts for the mini, minor, major and grand jackpots. To the left of the user interface below the reels are the game information and bet adjustment. In the middle is the win amount, and to the right are turbo and autospin followed by the main green spin button.

The base game symbols include four women and the lower-paying card symbols from ten to ace. The gold casino chip is the jackpot symbol and the red chip is the wild jackpot. There is also a golden bonus symbol. The wild is the red gem and substitutes all symbols except the jackpot, wild jackpot and bonus.

Theme, graphics & soundtrack

Macau Beauties falls within the Oriental theme but also brings casinos and beauty/women into the mix. It is based around the region of Macau and the beautiful women found in the high-end casinos there. Macau lies on the south coast of China, separated from Hong Kong by the Pearl River Delta. It is known for its malls, the grand Macau Tower and the glitzy casinos along the Cotai Strip, nicknamed ‘The Las Vegas of Asia’.

A black- and purple-hued cityscape of buildings and reflections in the river at night serves as the backdrop. The reels are outlined in gold, with rows of small LED-like lights defining the vertical columns of symbols. The symbols are bold and sharply rendered, with a realistic, photo-like finish to the women. The animation is kept basic, with symbols flashing when a winning combination is triggered.

An even-paced dance track with an Oriental edge accompanies the gameplay. The overall effect is sultry and luxurious, like a high-end and upmarket evening out on the Oriental scene.

Macau Beauties RTP & volatility

This game has an appealing 96.52 per cent RTP, which is on the better side of average. The medium to high volatility means players could see some variation in the payouts and frequencies, with the likelihood of bigger but less regular prizes.

How to play Macau Beauties

Bet sizes & paytable wins

The minimum wager is 0.20 coins and the maximum is 30.00. While the lowest is appealing for casual players, the higher rollers may be a little disappointed by the maximum. Nonetheless, there are some decent payouts at both ends of the wager spectrum.

The maximum win is thought to be around 5,000x the stake thanks to the jackpots on offer.

Most symbols pay for combinations of three and above:

- The wild is worth 2.00x for five of a kind.
- Bonus symbols pay for five and above at 0.20x.
- Female symbols are all worth 0.40x for five of a kind.
- The lowest value is three of a kind of any playing card, which pays 0.02x.

Macau Beauties bonus features

- Jackpot Mania

Six or more gold jackpot symbols trigger the Jackpot Mania feature, whereby three respins will be awarded. If one or more extra jackpot symbols land, the respins will be reset to three. If all positions become filled with jackpot symbols, the lucrative grand jackpot will be awarded.

- More More Jackpots

- This feature can be triggered randomly during a spin, with two, three or four reels becoming full of wild jackpot symbols.

- Free Games Bonus

Land five or more bonus symbols to activate the free games feature. Each bonus symbol will spin to 1, 2, 3, 5 or 8, and the number of free spins granted will be the sum of all the bonus symbols. More freebies can also be retriggered during the round, and More More Jackpots will trigger more often.

Overall review

This slot is a beauty of a game in terms of the aesthetics. They may not blow you away, but the visuals are high-quality and the soundtrack complements them nicely to cultivate the Oriental vibe.

The minimum bet opens this up as an inclusive slot for casual players. Although the maximum wager is on the low side, we think the higher rollers will still appreciate the bigger jackpots on offer.

We always like a free spins feature and it is great that these can be retriggered. The More More Jackpots feature is a nice touch to add some mystery and suspense as you keep your fingers crossed for a random wild boost; however, players are unlikely to get much in terms of payouts from the base game. The tempting wins are with multi-payline prizes and jackpots. Jackpots may not be progressive, but at least you know what is on offer and there are some tempting amounts to be had.

Stay on China’s coast with the Macau 8 slot from Golden Hero. In contrast to the 50 paylines offered by Macau Beauties, this is a simple slot with just one payline; however, it does have a 96 per cent RTP, wilds, multipliers, and a jackpot of up to 500x the wager.
