RealTime Gaming offers us another Chinese themed slot in Lucky 8. In ancient China, the number 8 was considered to be the luckiest number of all. You will be required to rescue the kidnapped rich merchant’s daughter from an evil emperor. Players will also have the task of killing the emperor, as well as his warriors, before escaping along the Great Wall. For achieving all these feats and finding any other treasure along the way, you will be rewarded greatly. This game, available at Punt Casino, offers wilds, scatters, a free game feature, a Win-Win Feature, as well as the minor and major progressive jackpots.
Spin stakes start from just R0.10 in this adventure. This 5×3 reel grid with many typical treasures to be found offers 25 pay lines. Ming Vases and beautiful jade dragons are some of the Ancient Chinese symbols to expect, offering some great rewards.

Lucky 8 Gameplay

The merchant will award you up to 2 888 coins if you are able to find Ming vases and jade dragons. The emperor’s warriors will try and stop you from rescuing the merchant’s daughter and killing them will have you receiving between 2 888 coins and 8 888 coins.
The emperor is Lucky 8’s wild symbol and will replace all the other symbols as he tries to stop you from rescuing the merchant’s daughter. This will help create more winning combinations, meaning you will get some great payouts. All winnings that contain 1 or more emperors will be multiplied by 2x, 3x or 8x.

Bonus Feature

Landing some Lucky 8 symbols, which are the game’s scatters, will have you rewarded in 2 ways;

1. You will be awarded wins of up to 88x your total bet. 3 or more scatters will trigger 8 free games. Once awarded the free games, you must bang a gong in order to reveal the bonus multiplier. This will either be 2x, 3x, 5x or 8x.
2. If you’d been playing less than 25 lines and your feature wins are less than 8x the triggering bet, you will trigger the Win-Win. In this feature, your winnings will be added to by up to 88x your triggering bet.

There is also the minor and major progressive jackpot to expect. This can be won after any spin during gameplay. Simply play between 1 and 25 lines and then stake each of those lines.

Mayan Queen is another gem from award winners, RealTime Gaming. The Mayans, a South American civilisation, flourished between 600 A.D and 1 600 A.D. They excelled in pottery, architecture, mathematics, agriculture, symbolic artwork, and calendar-making. To see some of the Mayan pyramids, you may have to visit archaeological sites such as Honduras, the Yucatan peninsula, as well as El Salvador.
Mayan Queen is a 5 reel, 25 pay lines progressive jackpot slot game, offering a return to player (RTP) percentage of 96%. The graphics that are depicted across the reels really portray the Mayan civilisation accurately but the visuals of the game are not so impressive.
The game, however, makes up for that in its impressive pay-outs, wilds, scatters and multipliers. Symbols such as the pyramid, emerald, jaguar, viper, gold coins, parrot and golden statue offer pay-outs in the base game. We love that Mayan symbols only are the symbols used in this game, instead of the classic card symbols. This only means additional points for you. Wagering the max bet per line will award you a pay-out of 150 000 coins for landing 5 pyramid symbols.

Mayan Queen Gameplay

You can bet from just R0.10 up to R12.50  with the coin size being R0.10 up to R5.00. The wild symbol of the game is the Mayan Queen. Whenever it appears on the 3^rd reel, it will substitute for all the other symbols, including the scatter. This creates more winning combos for you, meaning more prizes!

Bonus Feature

This game, which can be played at Punt Casino, awards 6 free spins whenever 3 or more emerald symbols appear. This symbol is the scatter. The Mayan Queen appears expanded during the free spins. This bonus feature can be re-triggered, with the max win per pay line being 50 000x per pay line.
Landing 5 pyramids, in conjunction with the Mayan Queen, awards a doubled jackpot pay-out of up to 300 000 coins. The game’s jackpot is triggered randomly so you have to keep spinning in order to win it.
When 5 pyramid icons appear in conjunction with the Mayan Queen the jackpot payout is doubled to 30,000 coins. If you wagered the total bet per spin this translates into a spectacular win of 150,000 coins. Mayan Queen belongs to RTG’s expansive progressive jackpot network. The jackpot can be triggered randomly. It simply means that the progressive jackpot can be won on any spin.
