About Great 88
Take a journey to the east in this game by BetSoft that is teeming with good fortune. The number eight is considered a fortuitous number in the Chinese culture. With five reels and 30 pay lines, there are many things that are associated with the term “luck” here.
Special Features
For an Oriental themed slot game, the music and the colour scheme makes the game rather relaxing and exotic at the same time. The reels are set against a luxurious blue set of scrolls and have a backdrop of a very serene night scene at a temple with cherry blossoms with a few oriental lanterns lighting the way.
The symbols that appear in the reels are all associated with good fortune. You’ll find Chinese dragons, lions, jade frogs and red talismans which are the higher paying ones. There are also, bamboo ornaments, eights and sixes, and red and green diamond shaped symbols with a Chinese character written in the middle.
You can increase your winnings with the Double Up feature where you gamble your winnings after a spin at the toss of a coin.
Bonus Features
Firecrackers are the wild symbols here and they can replace all the symbols in the reels except for the Lucky Box scatter.
The Lucky Box feature is activated when three or more scatter symbols appear anywhere in the reels. When activated, players will be awarded with a one of five random prizes. The first is the Top Symbol prizes where the higher paying symbols, like the Chinese dragon or lion, will be revealed from the boxes and hopefully create a better winning combination. Instant Wins may be revealed from this feature and your wager will be multiplied by the number of coins in these boxes which can be between one and three. You have a chance to win a multiplier of 15 times. Firecracker Wilds will explode and transform one or two neighbouring symbols into wilds and either helps you win big or create mediocre wins for you. If you find Jade Coins in the Lucky Box feature, you’ll be able to get free spins based on the number of coins found in each box and therefore have a chance to win up to 25 free spins. The Lucky Box may also contain a Bonus Wheel win where you’ll find a golden dumpling which rewards you with a spin from it. Here, you have a chance to win eight free spins, 20 times or 6000 times the total wager.
