Three Star God Demo Slot - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Game theme & storyline

In homes across China you will find statues of the Three Star Gods, Fu, Lu and Shou. These three deities represent luck and prosperity (Fu), status and authority (Lu) and good health and longevity (Shou). Ruling over the heavens since the Ming dynasty, these three gods are much loved all over China and represent the ideal way to conduct your life.

In feng shui, these three powerful symbols should be placed at eye level facing the entrance to a room. Known collectively as Fu Lu Shou, the Three Star Gods will bring happiness, prosperity and longevity to your home.

Graphics & sound

SimplePlay Slot Demos have the knack of creating a highly authentic atmosphere with their combination of sounds and visuals. The soundtrack here is modern Chinese, combining western beats with Chinese instruments, and the artwork is a delight.

The three gods are rendered faithfully alongside symbols such as a lotus flower, the traditional Chinese icon of purity, and the yuanbao or sycee, a golden ingot that is another powerful symbol of wealth. Even the nine to ace royals can’t detract from the overall appeal of this game. The background of flowers and temples is breathtaking.

How to play

Three Star God features the 243 ways to pay game engine that enables players to earn payouts when matching symbols land anywhere on the reels rather than on ordered paylines. It is easy to spot a win by following the symbols from reel one to the right - those that appear on adjacent reels will pay out according to the paytable.

There are 12 paytable symbols split evenly between the royals and the picture symbols, of which the highest paying are Fu and Lu. These both pay 500x your stake for five of a kind in the base game. All payouts are multipliers of your bet.

The golden ingot is the wild, which presents on reels two, three and four. This plays the usual substitution role for all symbols except the scatter. The well-put-together player interface lets you adjust your stake, set autoplay preferences and play at max bet, all in a few clicks.

Bet sizes and maximum win

If you prefer a high degree of control over the way you place your stakes, Three Star God combines coin values of 1 to 10 with coin values of 0.05, 0.10, 0.20, 0.50, 1.00 and 2.00. Your preferred bet is then multiplied by 30 to cover all winning possibilities, giving a staking range of between 1.50 and 20.00 credits per spin.

This is a progressive jackpot slot. The maximum win is represented by the major jackpot, which can trigger at random after any spin. The game rules state that the higher the wager, the more potential there is to land the progressive jackpot. Unfortunately, this won’t trigger very often and the potentially lucrative free spins bonus is similarly hard to land. You will need the luck of the gods to win big here.

Bonus features

Three Star God is not packed with bonus features; however, the combination of free spins and wilds has good potential to deliver the prosperity this slot promises.

Free spins feature: land three or more Chinese character scatter symbols anywhere in view to trigger this feature. You will then make your selection from the three options presented by Fu, Lu and Shou:

Fu: (high volatility) 6 free spins with an extended wild on reel two.
Lu: (medium volatility) 9 free spins with an extended wild on reel three.
Shou: (low volatility) 12 free spins with an extended wild on reel four.

The free spins then play out with one or two additional wild reels on reels two, three or four that appear at random. This feature can be retriggered when you land three or more scatters anywhere on the reels and you will be asked to choose again from the three options. All free spins are played at the denomination and line bet of the triggering spin.

RTP & volatility

This slot offers players a hypothetical RTP of 96.04 per cent, which represents a possible payout ratio over the long term. This is best treated as a guideline only.

Volatility measures the risk to reward ratio and is used to let players known how big a payout to expect and how often. Three Star God is rated as a very high volatility slot, which means you can expect infrequent big wins from the bonus features, including the progressive jackpot. This is a measure of potential only and is no guarantee that you will hit those big wins before your bankroll disappears.

Our verdict

SimplePlay is a master at creating sublime Chinese slots with authentic themes. The fact that these are backed up with some high potential bonus features and a progressive jackpot network only makes them more attractive.

You may need to look for divine intervention to realise the full potential of this heavenly slot. SimplePlay has made a feature of incorporating extended wild reels into its slots, so give Fantasy Goddess or Creepy Cuddlers a spin if you like this feature.
