Head to the capital city, famous for duck dishes and sweet and sour sauces, and you’ll find a beautiful wild fan dancer who promises huge multipliers in the Peking Luck slot.
Peking is just another name for Beijing, but what the rest of us non-Chinese entities will remember this name is for the style of cooking which our takeaway boxes advertise.
So it seems a little odd to turn this into a generic Oriental Chinese slot machine with dragons, theatre masks, drums and Ace to 9 symbols.
But then, Pragmatic Play studios like to keep things generic – just look at the Leprechaun Song slot, or even the other Far East 5 Lions game.
It looks nice enough, is what we are trying to say, but it won’t blow your mind.
This Peking Luck mobileslot not only looks traditional but actually feels very traditional as you play these 5×3 reels.
For one, all your big wins during the base game will be thanks to the beautiful Lady holding the fan. That’s because she’s wild, the highest paying symbol and has a 2x multiplier if she’s used during a win.
More importantly, she actually multiplies the multipliers during the free spins bonus rounds – and that’s where all your really big wins will be found.
Because you can get a random number of free spins and a random multiplier of up to 18x your bet. And it’s not like the base symbols don’t pay well on a good 4 or 5 of a kind win.
As we’ve mentioned, this is probably one of the most volatile Pragmatic slot game in their portfolio.
We almost lost all our cash before we got a blazing win of 500 times our bet, and our wallet breathed a sigh of relief.
So the big wins are here – you can win over 1,000 times your bet on just one of the Peking Luck 25 paylines. It’s crazy money.
But it could so easily have gone the other way, and we could have played for 2 hours and gotten not a scent. That’s the mentality you need to enter to really enjoy this Peking Luck slot game.
Otherwise, we’d recommend you try either Wolf Gold or the Wild Spells online slot for something a little easier on the budget.

Wilds: The Woman is the wild symbol and substitutes all other symbols to create a winning payline, except the scatter.
Better yet, if she is used as a substitute, she will apply a 2x multiplier on the win.
Scatters and Free Spins: Hit 3 or more gong scatter symbols and you'll then get to pick from fans and then from dragons.
Your first pick will give you anything from 5 to 28 free spins, and your second pick will give you something between 2x and 18x multiplier on all your wins.
Mostly you are lucky to get a 5x multiplier or about 10 free spins, but even that can be very ludicrous.
We were tempted to give this Peking Luck slot review 3 stars instead of 4 stars because it's so very volatile and the theme is fairly generic.
Which we know isn't fair, because games like Pyramids by NetEnt or Zeus 1,000 by WMS get a great score and have the same 'failings' if you call them that.
The only thing we will say is that this is a 4-star slot review only if you really love risky game with free spins, big multipliers and big wins, but that could easily take you to the cleaners.
If you like quick action Android/iOS slots this is not for you.
That said the free spins come relatively often and the mechanics are simple enough that pretty much anyone can jump in and spin.
