The Emperor’s Garden Belongs in Ancient China
This is a five reel game with twenty five pay lines, developed by NextGen Gaming. The theme is the lavish garden and life style of an Emperor in the days of Ancient China, and the background of this game shows the beautiful garden filled with peaceful trees and plants, and colourful birds.
There are some good bonus games in this delightful garden, which is watched over by the Emperor. The rewards are great for finding the collection of ornamental letter and numbers that the Emperor has hidden in the garden. Symbols in the game reflect the garden, like the Emperor’s Koi Carp, his carved Statues, Pergolas and some Lotus Flowers. The Garden Logo is the Wild, and the Koi Carp is the Scatter. The Wild can substitute for any other symbols to complete a winning combination, except for the Scatter. The Scatter is also the bonus symbol, which will unlock the Scatter Bonus game and the free spins feature. There is even a small animation of the Koi swimming around when you hit on a winning combination.
Expanding Wilds and Scatters
The Wild can appear on the second, third or fourth reel, and when the Garden goes Wild, they will expand and cover the whole reel that they have appeared on. This can give you a large number of chances to complete a winning sequence, with plenty of possibilities for huge wins. The Emperor’s Koi Carp Scatter activates the bonus round, if you land between two and five of them on the reels. Three of the Scatter symbols will unlock the free spins feature, and you will be given ten free spins at once. Scatter wins made during the free spins bonus round will be multiplied by your first stake. So if even only two of the Koi Carp appear, you will win a good payout. This free spins round can be reactivated.
Payouts for Valuable Symbols
The classic playing card symbols from Nine and Ten through to the Ace, are the lowest paying symbols in the garden of the Emperor. The cards are well designed, and look like tiles that you could use to play the Chinese game Mahjong. Three to five matching playing card symbols appearing on the reels together will win you a prize. Landing five of the Pergola symbols or the Lotus flowers will award you an even better payout. The carved Statues of the Emperor are not easy to find, but if you find five of them anywhere on the reels, you will be given a huge reward of one thousand times your initial wager. An even bigger reward of five thousand times your stake is possible, if you land five of the Emperor symbols on one of the pay lines.
You Can Try a Guessing Gamble
After every win, the Emperor will give you the opportunity to try the Gamble round. You try to guess the colour of the next playing card, and if you guess correctly your winnings will be doubled. You can then attempt to the suit of the card. If your guess is correct, your winnings will be quadrupled. If you get the guessing right, you have five chances to try again.
