Betsoft software developer is known for their inclination toward Asian themes, so it’s no wonder they launched a Japan-inspired online slot titled Winds of Wealth in August 2022. Soothing sounds of flutes complement a top-quality design, aiming to deliver a relaxing playing experience. Punters can take advantage from Substituting Wilds, Scatter Pays, Stacked Mystery Symbols, the Winds of Wealth Feature and a Free Spins Round. The gameplay offers plenty of chances to bag up sums as high as 1,506x the stake.
The 5-reel, 4-row gameboard is placed within a traditional Japanese garden filled with cherry trees in bloom. The grid is configured to 30 fixed paylines with wagers spanning from $0.30 to $24.00. To start playing, tap Spin or opt for Autoplay which has the reels spinning automatically. The game pays out for a minimum of 2 high-win or 3 low-value symbols of the same type on adjacent payline positions, beginning with the far left reel.
Top-paying symbols are a Fan, an Art card, a Kokeshi doll and a stunning Geisha that will reward you with between 2.66x and 16.66x your wager if 5 appear in sequence. Playing card symbols (9-A) deliver 1.66x the bet each when 5 form a win. Wild is depicted with a Golden Lucky Coin, appearing on all reels but the first to replace all symbols in wins, excluding Scatter. The traditional Japanese beckoning Cat stands for Scatter that activates the Free Spins Feature.
Every spin during base game could result in an entire reel filled with Mystery Symbols that transform into a randomly chosen symbol increasing chances for wins. Opportunities for heftier sums arrive in the Winds of Wealth Feature, since payouts are awarded for symbols landing from both left to right and right to left. Furthermore, all low-value symbols are removed with a gust of wind, until only high-paying icons and Wilds fill the layout. Landing 3, 4 or 5 Scatters awards 10, 15 and 25 freebies respectively and prizes of 3x, 10x and 50x the bet are issued. The best asset of this round is that Winds of Wealth Feature gets activated more often, bringing truly juicy prizes. What’s more, additional Scatters landing cause a re-trigger of Free Spins. This Bonus Round can also be entered via the Buy Feature. Invest a pre-set sum and you’ll access Free Spins immediately.
Besides a decent RTP 96.04%, this game also offers medium to high volatility. Winds of Wealth video slot is not only visually striking but can also prove really rewarding once you reach the Free Spins Feature. You can find it and try it out whenever you want, as it is available for play on all portable devices.
