Fu Dao Le Introduction
With five reels and 243 ways to win, this stunning-looking pokie is stuffed with good luck symbols from peaches to hongbao, the Chinese New Year red envelopes. Bets range from just 38 cents to a huge $8.88, offering something to casual players and high rollers alike.
This ‘any way’ game has no paylines; instead, mystery stacked symbols reveal themselves and can rapidly increase your chance of creating a winning combination. Watch out for the giggling cherubs, as they will alert you to the possibilities of big payouts and the progressive jackpot. Other symbols include the low paying card symbols, Chinese lanterns, and the lucky baby symbol.
Lucky dip
Fu Dao Le has a range of bonus games, including a pick and win grid that appears when you spin three wilds on the middle reel. You will keep picking prizes until you reveal the Mini, Minor, Major or Maxi fixed jackpot. You also need to look out for those lucky red envelopes, as they will reward you with a random jackpot feature.
Spin at least two scatter hongbao on reels one and five and you will be rewarded with a random jackpot - the higher the number of red envelopes, the bigger the reward.
Bao gong
The gong is the scatter symbol and you will earn eight free games when you spin three or more of this symbol. Each winning spin in the bonus game carries a 2x multiplier and every scatter that appears rewards you with another free spin. During the free spins round, wilds on the centre reel will reward 2x and 3x multipliers whenever they appear, which can be a very lucrative bonus if you spin the reels just right.
Has good fortune arrived?
This game looks absolutely gorgeous, from the rich red and gold palette to the beautifully evoked symbols and animations. You will want to pat the little cherubs for luck and will be looking out for them with every spin, as they really do bring some major rewards. As pokies evolve, the gameplay just gets better, with Bally's Fu Dao Le a good example.
There is a strong mix of features and the wilds and scatters have a few extra surprises that lift the base gameplay out of the ordinary. With a stunning soundtrack, strong bonuses and great fun gameplay, this pokie is recommended for every type of player, whether you prefer to play on your desktop or on your mobile or tablet.
