About Qixi Festival
Created by GamePlay Interactive, the Qixi Festival slot is a proper Asian culture themed game, and unlike many of its counterparts, this one aims for realism with its graphics. The slot machine contains some truly wonderful imagery. Yes, there are cherry blossoms and lanterns aplenty as usual, but these look far more realistic than in other similarly themed games. Moreover, Qixi Festival offers you just 9 lines to bet on. Players cannot alter those players, but they can choose coin values which range from 0.05 up to 10.00, and those will see your total bet stem from 0.45 per spin up to 90.00 per spin in all. Players are going to need to land 5 of the blue princess symbols on the reels if they hope to pocket the slot’s non-progressive jackpot, which is capped at 5,000 coins in all.
Special Features
Wild symbols certainly play a part in this slot. These appear as birds and can substitute for all other icons in the slot, including the game’s scatter icon, which is a bold move from GamePlay Interactive, and one not frequently seen in the online casino world. Wild symbols can also double the value of all winning combinations in which they appear.
Scatter icons appear as people dancing before a full moon. These scatters can be replaced by wilds, but they offer big wins when they appear on the reels. Landing 2, 3, 4 or 5 such symbols anywhere on the reels will dish out scattered cash prizes worth 1x, 5x, 10x or even 100x your total bet, respectively.
Bonus Feature
So far, so good. However, not everything is rosy in the Qixi Festival slot machine. Players are going to note that there is no free spins bonus round worked into the design of this game, and that is a real shame. Players are going to be unable to pocket any free spins or instant win feature. If it wasn’t for the lack of features, the Qixi Festival slot would be a sublime entry from GamePlay Interactive. As it is, the lack of features only makes this game a so-so release, even with those cracking graphics.
