Legend Rising Slot Machine - Play Legend Rising Slot Free

Introduction

Legend Rising is a slot from the developer Stakelogic, Its Chinese look is presented quite tastefully. If you’re looking for a heavily themed game like Stakelogic's Voodoo Reels you might find this a little serene, but it really is worth sticking with it.
Like most Stakelogic free slots it offers a fair number of extra features including a free spins bonus.

Legend Rising uses a 5-reel grid with 3 rows on each of reels 1 and 5 but 4 each on reels 2-4. It has 576 paylines. The grid actually enlarges at certain points during play, which is quite surprising, and it adds many more permutations There are 6 special symbols, the Phoenix, the Dragon, the Toad, the Lucky Coins, the Bonsai and the Waterlily, plus 4 low playing card symbols, which instead of the picture cards are the 4 suits..

Theme, Graphics and Soundtrack

Unlike the vast majority of online slots the reel grid is relatively small. This is partly because it needs room to perform its trick of suddenly expanding without warning, but even then it remains modestly sized. In fact this is rather a good idea because the imagery and animation on the reels are not particularly striking, but the background is a wonderfully serene and beautifully rendered scene of a bridge over a canal or river with ghostly buildings in the background and the water dotted with waterlilies, each one carrying a lit candle. Even the soundtrack is a cut above most Chinese-themed slots, sounding rather more authentic than the usual Westernized approximations.

Legend Rising RTP and Variance

Legend Rising has an RTP of 96.27% slightly above average. The variance is high.

Legend Rising Review: Our Verdict

Legend Rising doesn’t bring anything new to the slot game but includes a good selection of popular features and the expanding reels are a novel touch. For once the background graphics are allowed to dominate and they do so very respectably.
