Shen Nong Slot Review

Shen Nong is an ancient Chinese mythology-inspired video slot boasting 4096 ways to win and an impressive free spins feature. Land farm field scatters in the base game to trigger up to 50 free spins where combinations of some winning symbols can be multiplied up to 5x. The scatter is a paying symbol, too, giving an extra winning boost before starting the free spins round. Find out more in this Shen Nong slot review.

Theme 

Shen Nong, or 'Shennong', was a mythological Chinese ruler who has become a deity in the folklore of China and Vietnam. He's credited with showing humankind the ways of farming, having created basic tools such as the plough and the hoe as well as teaching basic farming methods. He is also associated with the cultivation of medicinal plants and the use of herbal remedies. The theme is reflected in the background scene of cultivated fields and woodland, along with the higher-tier symbols featuring a farmer, his wife, an ox, corn, herbs and an axe.

Graphics

Although they are not particularly outstanding, the graphics are colourful and evocative of ancient Chinese farming. Animations are limited to golden sparkles highlighting the winning symbols with a slight movement of the symbol itself. 

Soundtrack

There is no idle soundtrack playing through this game, with only snatches of traditional Chinese-inspired music playing each time the reels are spun.

Shen Nong Review - Our Verdict

A common theme with a difference

KA Games has made this slot stand out from most other slots with Chinese traditional themes found in online casinos by focusing on the ancient figure of Shen Nong and the agricultural tools, skills and way of life associated with him. We found it refreshing to see a less-popular aspect of the culture depicted in the reels and setting.

RTP could be better

We thought the choice of a fixed 4096-ways gameplay is a good middle ground between more complex games with multiple features and simpler, fixed payline slots, but without knowing the variance and with just a 94% RTP, slots like Playtech's Age of the Gods slot, with its multiple free spins bonuses, 95% RTP and medium volatility may prove more attractive.

FAQs

What is the max win on the Shen Nong slot?

Higher payouts are more likely during the free spins bonus if a multiplier has been added. A max win of 60x your bet on a single spin is possible, with a combination of the woman symbol and wilds to make up 6 of a kind, multiplied by a maximum of 5x. There is no mention of a total win cap on this game.

Can free spins be retriggered on Shen Nong?

Although there is nothing in the game's rules and paytable info about whether free spins can be retriggered, we discovered when playing in demo mode that scatters do appear on the reels when the feature is in progress. Therefore, it appears to be possible to retrigger free spins and increase your payout potential.
