Gameplay: have a pond of nishikigoi

Japanese believe that nishikigoi (more commonly known as koi), a colored variety of Amur carp, is the most beautiful and exquisite decoration of one’s place. Besides, the brightly colored, well-tempered and playful fish in a pond bring wealth and wellbeing just like dragons do according to Asiatic beliefs. Look closer at koi: with their muscled scaled bodies and broad fins they really look like dragons flying through water. Once, people say, gods looked down at koi and turned fish into golden dragons. The slot offers you an opportunity to make this water dragons bless you, experience the magical qualities of koi and let them make you prosperous, content and happy.

To start making your own nishikigoi pond, select from 1 to 30 paylines and bet at least $1 per line. There is no upper limit on line bets except for your courage, mood, habits and budget. Make up your mind, place you bet and let the fish show its wonders of prosperity and wellbeing. As soothing music pours from the slot, symbols are about to reveal your luck.

Slot symbols

There are nine non-feature symbols, a Wild icon and a Bonus Scatter, all artistically designed and featuring theme-specific images, all creatures and things feeding the Japanese sense of beauty and happiness. Non-feature symbols include a Lantern, a Bonsai, a Flying Dragon, a White Lotus, a Pink Lotus and four species of koi (listed in ascending order of payout). Non-feature icons pay from left to right when you land 3, 4 or 5 matching symbols on an active payline.

Inactive paylines never pay, therefore it is advisable to activate all 30 paylines for each spin. There are two considerations behind this advice: firstly, this adjustment maximizes your chances for winning and secondly, you are not able to engage any extra lines when a bonus free spin mode activates. Non-feature symbols in a base game and in a bonus mode pay from x5 to x1000 a line bet.

There are two sorts of Wild icons, one is a permanent Wild that appears in all modes, and the other appears in a free spin mode only. The first Wild symbol features the slot logo and lands on reels 2, 3, 4 and 5 only. It substitutes for all non-feature symbols.

A Shell full of the roundest and smoothest pearls is a Bonus Scatter icon, a very useful and multifold special symbol.

Free spins

A Bonus Scatter lands in any position on reels 2, 3 and 4 in a base game and during free spins. Landing 3 Bonus Scatters on the reels awards you an instant cash prize of x3 your total bet and 15 initial free spins. If you do the same trick in a free spin mode and land 3 Bonus scatters on three central reels again, you are awarded 15 extra free spins. You may retrigger a free spin mode multiple times, up to 225 free spins per bonus or until you reach a cap on the total win.

The main attraction of a free spin mode is the way it is arranged. First of all, free spins run on super rich reels featuring more and better combinations as compared to a base game. Secondly, there is an extra Wild symbol, a Pearl, which is Wild to all non-feature symbols during free spins. It has a magic ability to turn non-feature koi symbols into Wild symbols. When a free spin mode starts, a special Pearl meter appears under the reels. There are 4 koi and 12 empty seats next to each koi. When a Pearl lands on the reels, it will act as a Wild icon and then go into an empty seat next to a koi. Every three Pearls turn 1 kind of koi into a Wild icon for that spin and it stays Wild during all free spins you trigger and retrigger. There is the following order of converting koi into Wilds:

• 3 Pearls make all Red koi Wild on reels 2, 3, 4 and 5;
• 6 Pearls make all Spotted koi Wild on reels 2, 3, 4 and 5;
• 9 Pearls make all Gold koi Wild on reels 2, 3, 4 and 5;
• 12 Pearls make all Blue koi Wild on reels 2, 3, 4 and 5.

When all four kinds of koi convert into Wild, a Pearl keeps emerging on the reels and stays Wild till the end of a free spin mode. Proceeding like this you may reach the level when you have as many as six different Wild symbols substituting for all non-feature symbols. It looks great and it pays well. As you can see, you need 12 Pearls to turn all koi into Wild symbols.

So you may play the game with the incredible number of Wilds. This really makes this mode an extremely valuable feature provided you play for real money, activate all 30 paylines and place sizeable bets. As regards the line and bet settings, you have to take care of them in advance: no adjustment is allowed during a free spin mode. Spare no chance, activate all lines and place as high wager as your luck and budget affords and let it work for you.

The slot also has an autospin mode which is as good and efficient as a manually managed gameplay. Select 10, 20, 30, 40 or 50 spins and the slot proceeds by all rules, strictly following your line and bet settings until all selected spins are over or you decide to stop it manually or a feature activates.
