Niu Niu Mahjong - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction 

Join the Mahjong players at the table and try your luck with this 5 column slot that expands to 6 during its bonus feature. Three or more matching tiles on any of the paylines win prizes while 3 scatters will grant a random number of free games. Accumulate as many sticky wilds as you can during the bonus round to boost potential wins.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack 

Mahjong is a game that was invented in China during the 19th century and is now popular throughout the world. In Niu Niu Mahjong we find ourselves sitting at a playing table along with 3 Mahjong players in a beautifully furnished room with Chinese wall hangings and vases. The 'reels' - if they can even be called that, are a 5x4 layout of Mahjong tiles spread out on on the table and resemble the tiles used in the actual Mahjong game. The players thump the table with their fists to turn the wild tiles sticky as the bonus round progresses, and are in constant animation throughout the game. The soundtrack is inspired by traditional Chinese music.

How to Play Niu Niu Mahjong

Here is our brief guide to setting things up should you need some help getting started if you are new to the game: 

1. Once the game has loaded you will be presented with the Mahjong table and the 'reels'. 
2. Familiarise yourself with the payline configurations, paytable and rules via the menu button.
3. Adjust your bet amount by touching the coins icon and then using the slider.
4. Toggle Turbo on or off for a faster animation on each spin.
5. Autoplay is limited to a single amount of 99 automatic spins with no options to set any loss limits. If you choose to use autoplay be mindful that as soon as you touch the button it will start straight away. Keep an eye on your balance and be ready to hit the stop button before you need to.

Niu Niu Mahjong Bonus Features

Wild Forecast

Occasionally a random reel will be highlighted as the tiles drop. If a wild drops into the highlighted reel, the entire reel will turn wild for that spin.

Free Games

The bonus round is triggered by 3 or more scatters in the form of red dice. The dice fall with the letter F face upwards. The remainder of the sides have spots 1 to 5. Once any wins have been collected, the dice then roll, and the total number between them represents the number of free games awarded in the bonus round. Scatters can appear in any of the 5 reels and appear more than once in the same reel.

At the start of the bonus round an extra reel is added, and the bonus paytable and paylines come into play.

Any wilds that fall during the bonus round become sticky and remain in place for the rest of the free games. Dice with +1 can fall on reels 2 to 6 during the feature, increasing the number of free games. 

Niu Niu Mahjong Review

This slot has a unique feel to it, and much of it is to do with the visual design. It is great watching the bonus games play out as the players interact with the tiles. Wins and bonuses seem relatively frequent but the amounts won are generally low. Niu Niu Mahjong is a good example of how FunTa slots present their bonuses and features in different ways. Another Mahjong themed slot worth trying is Mahjong Ways slot by PG Soft, a cascading 1024 ways game with wilds, scatters and a free spins round.
