Wok Star Introduction
Wok Star is an exciting online pokie from Games Warehouse that is available to play on browsers and mobile or tablet devices. Themed around Chinese/East Asian cuisine and restaurants (not the only one on this site!), this is an irreverent, light-hearted pokie where there are many different ways to win and a wide range of possible prizes up for grabs. With five reels and 20 paylines, there are ample chances for winning matches.
Winning Recipe
The visuals are clear and colourful but also look quite retro-inspired, with a neon-style font on the logo and minimal background. Symbols are regular pokie fare like K, Q, J and A, plus a couple of thematic additions such as the electric guitar, amplifier and sushi box symbols. The soundtrack is a novel combination of upbeat Eastern-inspired melodies accompanied by rock guitar.
Like a number of modern free pokies, Wok Star has an autoplay function, meaning the reels will spin automatically for a number of plays that you choose, ranging from five upwards. There is also the option to stop autoplay upon receiving a big win, and reaching either limit will stop the autoplay function.
Prize Table
As previously mentioned, there are five reels and a total of 20 paylines in a number of different configurations, with a broad range of prizes and bonuses available plus plenty of chances to win frequently, double your winnings and even more. Regular prizes are awarded for successful three-, four- and five-of-a-kind matches on paylines.
This game also has three additional features: an in-game bonus that affects your spins and turns some symbols wild, a free spins round and a breakout wok bonus game where you select a number of mystery prizes. The most valuable regular symbol is the Wok Star logo, followed by the food container and 'A' symbols.
At the other other end of the scale are the 'J' and guitar amplifier symbols, which both offer the same maximum prize, though even these can soon add up at higher stakes. Finding three free spin symbols on your screen activates the free spin bonus. With this bonus, you gain a 1x, 2x or 5x multiplier that will be applied to each of your free spins.
The free spins can continue indefinitely until a stop symbol is displayed, meaning that there is the potential to amass some enormous total winnings. Finding a guitar symbol anywhere on reel five will trigger the guitar bonus, which will turn all of the guitar amplifier symbols wild. Additionally, any guitar bonus wins also pay double. There is also a wild symbol that can be used as a substitute for any other type of symbol as part of a winning combination.
If you manage to get three to five of these at once, you will be awarded with the same size prize as the equivalent Wok Star symbol match. Wok Star's most unique feature is the wok bonus round, which is activated when three bonus symbols appear on screen. This takes place in a separate area, where the aim of the game is to select seven bowls which contain various prizes.
These bowls either contain a cash value, a multiplier, a stop or a dragon. If you happen to find seven dragons, you will be awarded an extra prize of 1000x your total bet.
