The river reels
Page 5 draws 50 paylines, paid left to right from the leftmost reel, with the highest win per line. Leading the paytable is a portrait of a woman in a red traditional outfit with a red bloom in her hand. Then come a pink lotus, a bamboo sprig hung with coins, reeds with pearls and a gold nugget with pearls, followed by A, K, Q and J. The dragon head Wild replaces everything except the koi coins and money symbols, and has its own pays.
Three koi and their waterfalls
A red koi coin goes to the red Balance waterfall, a yellow one to the yellow Prosperity waterfall and a blue one to the blue Vitality waterfall. Each can start the bonus at random with its modifier active. Four or five koi coins start it with one, two or three modifiers chosen at random. The coins carry values that cannot be won in the base game, and the page notes that the waterfall collection is visual only.
Path one: free spins
The koi coin values that triggered the bonus are paid and 5 free spins begin. Balance plays the spins on two 5x3 grids. Prosperity drops random frames that turn everything inside into Wilds for that spin. Blue koi coins retrigger: 3, 4 or 5 give 5, 10 or 20 more spins with Balance or Prosperity, and with Vitality 2, 3, 4 or 5 give 2, 5, 10 or 20.
Path two: respins
Only blanks and gold money coins remain on the reels, and the triggering koi coins become money coins with the same amounts. Every new coin stays and resets the count to 3. Each coin takes one of the printed values from 0.6x up to 30x total bet, or Mini 10x, Minor 20x or Major 150x. Filling every position also adds the Grand at 5000x total bet. Balance again gives two grids, Prosperity frames raise the coins inside by a random amount, and Vitality starts with 4 respins and resets to 4.
Buy Bonus and the cap
Page 4 offers a Buy Bonus at 50x total bet, which starts the bonus with Prosperity active. The same page caps wins at 10,000x bet. The free spins text says nothing more about Vitality beyond its retrigger counts.
Sensible habits
Table amounts are RM at a total bet of RM2.00 and change with your bet. Set a budget, start small while you learn both bonus paths, and stop when the budget runs out.
