If you’re ready to immerse yourself in an exciting new game and have a genuine desire to win the big bucks, then Fu Chi is the online pokie you never knew you needed. Read on to learn more about this intriguing progressive pokie and how you can take advantage of its lucrative value.
Exhilarating Online Pokie Gameplay
Fu Chi has been released to coincide with 2018 being the Year of the Dog in the Chinese Zodiac. From the outset, you’ll see that the game takes many other cues from Chinese culture.
The backdrop for instance is an ancient Chinese Temple where all text is written to reflect oriental style font. Fireworks in the distance also contribute towards the festive ambience and make this game feel like every day is a day to celebrate.
There’s no denying the visuals for Fu Chi are super slick, but I think we can all agree that’s to be expected from a developer such as Realtime Gaming. What really draws us in and adds a bit of an ‘X’ factor though is the music. Authentic, charming and decidedly catchy, Fu Chi’s soundtrack is head and shoulders above other online pokies we’ve played in the past. That’s because it doesn’t dominate the game, but rather supplements the already excellent graphics and base game features.
Fu Chi also gives you the freedom to control how you want to play. This includes offering options such as Autoplay for those that would prefer to toggle automatic spins and Speed if you’d like to slow it all down and savour the moment. On the right side of the screen one can also find the Helps & Rules button that lays out all information pertaining to gameplay and instructions.
Chinese Themed Symbols
From the Ying and Yang spin button to the coveted Zodiac Scatter, Fu Chi really does well to implement Chinese themed symbols throughout the game.
For starters, Chinese Letters are used to act as low paying symbols. In addition, there’s also beautifully styled Lotus Flowers plus delicious looking Chinese Apples and not to be overlooked Coin Bags. Oh, and don’t forget those festal Firecrackers or the Lucky Dog Wild that substitutes for all symbols including the highly desirable Zodiac Scatter. Note that all symbols pay left to right except scattered Zodiacs, which pay any way.
While these symbols may be similar to many other Oriental themed casino games available to play online, we believe that Realtime Gaming has done a fantastic job in making each of their designs distinctive and stylish, right down to the stone dragons and red lanterns that flank the game’s main reels.
Fu Chi’s Features
Fu Chi, like many of Realtime Gaming’s other online pokies, is all about the free spins.
The Free Spin round is triggered when you land three, four or five Zodiac Scatters anywhere on the reels. This will then award 10, 20 or 30 free spins depending on how many Scatters you have landed. What makes Fu Chi different from other online casino games and in our opinion, much easier to win money on, is the fact that the Lucky Dog Wild can act as a substitute for Scatter symbols. Note that the prize is doubled when the Lucky Dog appears in a win.
If you do activate the Free Spin round with only Scatters and no Wilds in the triggering combination, the number of free spins will be doubled. This means you can potentially get up to 60 free spins with one hit. The real fun begins however when you retrigger the feature. If this occurs, you’ll get the same number of free spins as in the original trigger, which could add up to a possible 120 free spins. All prizes are also tripled during the free games and played at the lines of the triggering game. Lucky players can expect up to win 30,000 times the bet per line in a single spin.
Minor and Major Jackpot
A major jackpot is almost part and parcel with most online casino games available to play at the moment, however a minor jackpot is always welcomed by both novice and experienced players alike. That’s because they provide two times the opportunity to win a big payout. Both of these jackpots are progressive and will trigger at random following any real money bet on the game. They are also only won at the conclusion of a game. During the regular game, it is possible for players to win as much as 30,000 times their bet form a single spin. These two jackpots offer $250 for the minor win and up to $1000 for the major win.
Where To Play
Fu Chi is available on your mobile, tablet or desktop. The only downside with Fu Chi is that many players will most likely dismiss it as being similar to every other oriental style online pokie. The truth is that Fu Chi offers more than meets the eye and must be played to be fully appreciated. Let’s face it; Realtime Gaming is one of the finest purveyors of quality online casino games around the world. The name alone should be enough to prompt you to give it a crack. But don’t just take our word for it– try Fu Chi for yourself. Regardless of what industry stalwarts may say, we guarantee this is one casino gaming experience you won’t want to miss.
With two jackpots plus a highly favourable free spins feature incorporated into the game in addition to oriental themed graphics, music and sound effects, Fu Chi is the perfect online pokie to usher in the Year of the Dog and start 2018 off on the right paw.
