Ji Xiang 8 Slot by Playtech Review

Ji Xiang 8 Symbols and Payouts

The Ji Xiang 8 game by Playtech comes with 10 symbols, including 9 that follow the standard routine by forming combinations on paylines. They line up, three in a row horizontally, vertically and diagonally.

Each symbol has its own multiplier (factor) of a bet per line. The simplest picture can win you 18 times your bet. The biggest win is generated by the x8,888 factor. A special feature of the Ji Xiang 8 slot machine is that any combination of ordinary symbols wins more than your bet for one spin. The cost of one spin is 0.08 credits with a 0.01 bet, and the payout for the three lowest-paying symbols in a row is 0.18 credits. This way, you can receive large winnings on this slot. However, these combinations of pictures are quite rare. This is called high variance.

You get the biggest win, for landing the combinations of the Dragon Head pictures in all 8 directions. Given that when playing with the bet of one credit, the prize for one such combination is 8,888 credits, then the slot machine will pay 71,104 credits for 8 such combinations.

Special Symbol

Besides the common symbols, Ji Xiang 8 has another symbol, the Scatter. This is a picture with the eight - the lucky number in China. This picture is activated regardless of its location on the reels and its worth is based on the multiplier that applies to the total bet. The Scatter pays out if several such symbols line up in the game window:

• 4 Scatters win you the x2 multiplier (your winnings are 16 credits with a spin cost of 8)
• 5 Scatters - х8
• 6 Scatters - х38
• 7 Scatters - х188
• 8 Scatters - х888
• 9 Scatters - 8,888 times your total bet

So, if the cost of the spin is 8, the win for the combination is 71,104 credits, as much as for the highest-paying game symbol, the Dragon Head.

How to Play the Ji Xiang 8 slot

In the demo version of Ji Xiang 8 slot themed to Asian culture, you can play for credits - a virtual counterpart of real currency. The goal of the game is to increase the amount in your game account. To do this, spin the reels and collect three pictures in a row on one of eight paylines.

Slot control buttons and variable options are found at the bottom of the screen, under the game window. Before starting your session, set the terms for the game to proceed. To do this, set up your bet per line in the Line Bet column. The option varies between 0.01 and 100 credits.

Given that the number of lines in the game is fixed, only the size of the line bet affects the total cost of the spin. Since the slot uses 8 lines, the spin will cost you 0.08 credits with the minimum bet or 800 credits with the maximum bet. The cost of the spin (your total bet) is displayed in the Total Bet box. To start the reels spinning, you can use the following buttons:

• The Spin button triggers one spin
• The Autoplay button configures a sequence of automatic spins from 5 to 99

You can use the Turbo Mode button to activate the accelerated mode of changing pictures. This way, one spin will take less time and the gameplay will be more dynamic. The Info button opens an additional window with the table of multipliers and a demonstration of paylines.

Ji Xiang 8 is a fairly simple online slot machine to play, without a wide range of additional options. The only bonus benefit the slot features is the Scatter whose multipliers apply to your total bet. The top prize of the game is 7,110,400 credits for the game at the maximum bet (the cost of the spin being 800 credits). You can win that much for getting nine Scatters or Dragon Head symbols in the game window.
