1421 VOYAGES OF ZHENG HE

About 1421 Voyages of Zheng He

IGT’s 1421 Voyages of Zheng He is based on the Chinese sailor and explorer of the same name. The game has been designed craftily by the famous casino software providers, so 88 paylines appear on its 5 reels. As anybody with even the slightest knowledge of Chinese culture will know, the number 88 is considered lucky. 1421 Voyages of Zheng He is also cheap to play, with gameplay costing as little as 0.08 per spin in all. However, if you’ve got cash to splash, you can wager up to 88.00 a game on this slot. The RTP (return to player) rate does seem to vary, ranging from 92.1% (very poor) up to 96%. Non-progressive jackpot prizes are capped at a predictable but enjoyable 888x the total amount wagered.

Special Features

Golden coin symbols appear as wilds in this slot. Players are going to want to find as many of those as they can, and they appear stacked and can substitute for any other standard paying symbols in the game to help players land winning combos. The only symbols they cannot substitute for are scatters.

Scatters appear as maps, and these can be used to trigger a bonus round in the game. Three maps are required to appear on the second, third and fourth reels to trigger the bonus round. Players will get to choose from 1 of 4 bonus rounds once the feature begins.

Players hoping to get their hands on that non-progressive jackpot of 888x their total bet are going to want to land 5 of the golden coin wild symbols on any payline in the game. Failing that, landing 5 Zheng He symbols on the reels isn’t too shabby, as this combo dishes out wins worth 400x your stake.

Bonus Feature

The first bonus round is the famous ball and cup game. Players who successfully choose the cup with the golden ball under it will win 91x their bet. The other 3 bonus features are free spin rounds. Choosing to play with 20 spins offers 1x-3x multipliers, but choosing to play with 15 free games offers 1x-5x multipliers. Opt to play with just 10 free games, and you can play with 10 spins and 1x-8x multipliers. The three free spin bonus rounds can also be retriggered, with players able to choose a different round if they wish after retriggering the bonus.
