Coins that keep the free game alive
The free game starts with three spins. Gold coin symbols can land, a plain gold coin and coins marked MINI, MINOR, MAJOR, GRAND and BAOZHU GRAND, and when one appears the spin count is reset. For a bet of 1 the help page prints BAOZHU GRAND 500.00, GRAND 100.00, MAJOR 50.00, MINOR 20.00 and MINI 10.00. It does not print a value for the plain gold coin.
The free game is settled when the rounds reach 0, or when 15 coin symbols fill every position on the board, and the total prize of all coins on the board is paid. Coins only appear in free games.
What the firecracker colours change
The help page says that when the purple, blue and green firecrackers show on the reels there is a chance to trigger the free game. It does not say how many are needed. One colour gives that colour's free game, two give a combined mode, and all three give the Purple + Blue + Green Free Game. Each colour brings one rule:
- Purple: unlocks a dual disc, with free spins counted separately. The second disc is not shown.
- Blue: may summon an auspicious lion that gives an extra bonus to one or more gold coins on the board, at random. The size of that bonus is not printed.
- Green: the free game starts with 4 spins instead of 3.
No new rules mid-game
The help page says the free game is played with the firecrackers triggered on entry, and no extra effects are added during the free game. It also keeps the bet that triggered it.
Between free games
The main game has 50 fixed lines. Wins start on the first reel and run left to right, and only the highest win on each line counts. The WILD is a pink tile with the gold character Fu; it lands on reels 2 to 5, replaces everything except the three firecrackers and works only in the main game. The smiling man in a red hat pays from two of a kind: 0.10 for two and 3.00 for five.
Keeping it small
Coin values grow with your bet because the paytable is dynamic, and so does what you risk. Pick a budget before you start, use a small bet while you learn the three firecrackers, and stop when the budget is spent.
