Players can select bets which range from 0.01 per line, per spin in this slot, up to a total of 5.00 per spin. Yes, Zhanshi is a slot which is easily affordable, and most players are going to be able to get to grips with this game, then.

Special features

The substitute symbol is the Chinese warrior. This hero can substitute itself for all other symbols in the slot machine game, with the exception of the scatter icons. Wild symbols are also the best paying symbols in the slot (after the progressive jackpot, of course), and can see players pocket wins worth 2 coins, 25 coins, 500 coins, 2,500 coins, or a massive 10,000 coins if they land 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 such symbols on any active line.

Scatter icons appear as temples. These symbols can offer scattered wins worth 3x, 30x, or 500x your total bet if you can land 3, 4 or 5 in any position on the reels.

There are also two features in this slot; one triggered by landing 3 wilds on the reels, and other triggered by landing 3 scatters. These two exciting features both involve free spins, but each round is quite different from the other. Here’s how they work...

Bonus round

The first of these bonuses is that triggered by the wild symbols. It can offers a total of 15, 20, or 25 free games. During the feature all temple symbols are changed to warrior wilds or horse symbols. Any winnings you pocket during this free spins bonus round will be tripled, and the feature can be retriggered.

The second of the Zhanshi bonuses also offers free spins. This time players get a total of 10 free games, with all winnings doubled in the bonus. This feature is retriggered by landing 3 or more mixed scatter/wild symbols on the reels.

Although the second bonus is easier to retrigger, the first feature has bigger and better wins. That being said, triggering either of these bonuses would be a plus for a Zhanshi slot player.
