Appealing to the Asian market Booongo’s latest release Wukong Hold and Win provides simple but stunning graphics inspired by the mythical, martial arts master King Wukong.
About Wukong
Played across 5 reels with 25 fixed paylines, it’s available on desktop and mobile devices from as little as 25p up to £60 per spin. Most of the action takes place in the Hold & Win feature where a top prize of £300,000 can be achieved, and four jackpots are up for grabs.A patterned green backdrop houses gold-framed reels. The lower value symbols are the royal card suits. Gold rings, scepters, drums, butterflies are the higher value symbols paying 10x for 5 on a payline.Wukong himself is the wild and a pagoda acts as the scatter. The bonus symbol is a money symbol.
Gameplay
Landing three or more scatters activates the free spins and 8 are awarded. Landing 3 or more additional scatters awards another round of free spins. During this feature, only high-value symbols are in play.The bonus game activates after 6 or more money symbols land on a spin awarding three re-spins. Each additional money symbol landing resets the re-spins to 3. The feature comes to an end after all the re-spins are used or if the grid is full of money symbols. If all the re-spins are used the money symbols on screen all have values and these are added together to calculate your payout. If the latter happens the Grand Jackpot is triggered.
Verdict
Like many Hold and Win slots, the main action takes place in the bonus game. Wukong is a nicely presented slot but apart from the bonus game, there’s not much more going on. The free spins are just that and don’t come with additional multipliers. However, the addition of four jackpots is a bonus and may pique the interest of players
