How to play

The classic playing field with 5 reels in 3 rows comes with 20 paylines on which prize combinations are created. You need to land between 3 and 5 matching symbols on 1 payline to receive a payout. Hotei which is a special Wild symbol will replace the standard icons to help you complete the combo and the gold coins will activate the re-spin feature which we will discuss in more detail below.

To start this journey to ancient China you need:

  • Open Budai Reels on the casino website
  • Click on the menu button to read the rules
  • Select bet: from €0.10 to €100
  • Spin the reels!

Budai Reels RTP and Volatility

6.8 

Low-high volatility comes with 96.13% RTP.

Hotei is the most cheerful and positive of all existing gods of all times and pantheons! He will gladly reward you with a big prize for your efforts. Creating a prize combination or activating the free spins feature in this slot will not seem like a difficult task for you, as it comes with low-high volatility. The RTP is 96.13% which is above the market average and this makes the math model even friendlier.

Theme

7.1 

All actions take place against a rich burgundy background with sakura petals. The playing field itself is located on a small platform, and columns are located on both sides of the reels. Since there is a roof over the mesh, it seems that the provider wanted to create something like an imitation of a Chinese temple. In general, the game looks decent, but we did not see anything new in terms of design.

Hotei himself appears on the reels, a bag filled with gold coins, a gold bar and red letters are all premium symbols and as we said above, Hotei is also Wild. Multi-colored suits of A-10 playing cards are classic low-paying icons. During gameplay, pay attention to the gold coins as these are the Scatter symbols that trigger the re-spin feature.

Bonus Rounds & Free Spins

6.5 

Re-Spins

As soon as 3 or more gold coins (Scatters) land on the playing field, the slot will launch an exciting Budai Re-Spins Bonus Round! You will get 3 re-spins to start with. During the re-spins, the Scatter trigger symbols will become sticky on the newly cleared playing field. Only Scatters, Blank symbols and + 1 Spin symbols will land on the reels. You will get +1 re-spin for every +1 Spin symbol you land during this feature.

If the entire playing field is filled with scatter symbols, the remaining re-spins will not be played. 3-15 Scatter Symbols will trigger a progressive prize. That is, the more Scatters you were able to land, the greater the prize you will receive! Prizes range from 1x to 5,000x the bet.

Overall Rating

6.8

Evoplay knows how to make memorable slots, but this release is one we won't remember despite being good in so many ways. What you get here is a nice design, quality sound, a well-balanced math model, and a bonus round with great max win potential. Don't get us wrong, this is a great slot in its niche, but its problem is that it looks pale compared to other releases in its genre due to the lack of something original. In any case, fans of the Chinese theme and the popular re-spins bonus round will be satisfied, so it will definitely enjoy some popularity.
