Emperor’s Garden

In a nutshell

Enter the Emperor’s Garden slot and enjoy the serenity, the beautiful plants, trees and birds. And if that’s all a bit too tranquil for your taste, see if you can beat the Las Vegas style gamble feature and bag some serious cash.

A closer look

Emperor’s Garden video slot is the perfect break from whatever you have been playing. On a beautiful background with intense colours representing a Japanese Garden scene five reels spin perfectly smoothly to create ever new winning combinations for you.

The high card symbols are inspired by Mahjong tiles and fit the game’s theme perfectly. Typical Asian Garden decorations and the eponymous emperor himself complete your winning opportunities. Play on 1 to 25 pay lines with coin denominations ranging from $0.02 to $2. This allows for a decent amount of individualisation, multiple coin stakes or a skill stop are not available, though.

The beautiful garden scene is your WILD. It appears on reels 2, 3 and 4 and if more winning combinations can be achieved this way, it will expand to turn the entire reel wild once the spin is complete. The Koi carps are your bonus scatter, the only symbol for which the garden does not substitute and your ticket to free spins.

The developers at NextGen Gaming have done a visually pleasing job on the background and tiles of the Emperor’s Garden slot. The background music however is less serene; as new bars start with every spin it does not achieve the Zen-like oneness you might have hoped for but rather puts you in mind of a Chinese restaurant.

Free Spin Feature

Three or more Koi crap symbols anywhere on your pay lines will grant you access to 10 free spins.  All scatter wins are multiplied by the total stake, so even hitting two Koi tiles is well worth your while, but three is where the fun starts.

Winnings achieved using a garden wild are tripled during free spins and the feature can be retriggered, so it can get very lucrative very quickly.

Bonus features

Emperor’s Garden slot machine offers a gamble feature which you can access every time you hit a winning combination.

The gamble button will light up right next to the spin button as soon as you achieve a win. To play the gamble feature you will have to leave the serenity of the garden though and make your way to Las Vegas:  The bonus feature is played in a traditional casino setting in which you can choose from two ways to play.

You can either guess whether the card drawn will be red or black and double your win if you are right, or, if you are feeling particularly lucky, go for a suit to potentially quadruple your winnings. You can gamble up to 5 times, provided you don’t get it wrong in between.

If you don’t have a lucky hand at cards you can just ignore the gamble button and go on spinning.
