Well, we would have to say that given that Peking Luck is a non-progressive that offers the player a massive 180,000x their stake, the answer is an emphatic yes. Pragmatic Play games have always been at the forefront when it comes to non-progressive pokie payouts. Peking Luck even smashes Da Vinci’s Treasure, the previous highest win potential, with its 48,000x payout. So you can rest assured that when it comes to volatility, this is a pokie that is hard to beat.
Peking Luck design and graphics
The background of this
asian pokie is decidedly Asian, as you’d expect. Think cherry blossom trees, red and gold Chinese lanterns and waves in the foreground that could have been pulled right out of a Chinese wave painting. The visuals have been created in extreme high definition meaning that this is a pokie with a look that is a cut above most of the competition. Everything looks as slick as you’d expect from a Pragmatic Play pokie. Even the oriental soundtrack stands out, with its catchy and uplifting beat.
Peking Luck symbols
Low level symbols are made up of the typical 9 to A cards that we find on many pokies. A player can win anything from 4x to 8x if they land 5 of a kind of these symbols. The higher level symbols include cymbals, fans, drums, dragons and the highest valued mask. Should a player manage to land 5 of a kind, then they’ll be rewarded with anything from 12 to 30 times their initial bet. Of course, should a player have enough Peking Luck to land 5 wild symbols, they’ll be rewarded with a huge 400x their bet.
This game features both wilds and scatter symbols, the former in the shape of a beautiful woman, while the latter is in the form of a golden gong. Land three gongs and you’ll trigger the free spin bonus feature.
Peking Luck free spins insanity
If a player manages to land 3 to 5 scatters anywhere on the reels, they’ll automatically trigger the free spins bonus, in addition to receiving 3, 10 or 250 times their stake. They will then be asked to choose between 6 different fans to uncover the number of free spins they’ll be awarded, which can be anything from 8 free spins up to 38. The player will then be asked to choose between 6 dragons, which will reveal the multiplier number that will be applied to their payouts whilst in the free spins bonus. Multipliers range from 2x all the way up to 18x.
Peking Luck mobile and tablet
As with all pokies from Pragmatic Play, Peking Luck can be played on desktop, smartphones and tablets. The size of your screen doesn’t matter, as it is optimised to be played on all platforms. This means it will look great, no matter what. Because it is a browser-based title, you won’t need to download any software to your device.
Peking Luck volatility
This is a very volatile game, meaning that a player can expect the possibility of massive payouts. That’s not to say that they will happen often, however, but the potential is certainly there. A player who is insanely lucky enough to to land a 18x multiplier on the free spins bonus round while also managing to land a screen full of wild symbols will receive a whopping 180,000x their bet. Even if your initial bet is at a minimum, the payout will still be eye-watering to say the very least. A minimum bet of $0.25 could potentially bring in $45,000, while a larger bet of $2 would land a player $360,000. What would you spend all that cash on?
Peking Luck verdict
This is a lovely looking game, with fantastic visuals and sounds and it’s certainly enjoyable to play. One thing that potential players should think about is that it is a high variance, high vitality pokie. In other words, it’s high risk with high rewards, meaning that the payouts don’t happen that often, if at all. It’s a good idea to watch your bet sizes, as this pokie can eat away at your balance pretty quickly without you even noticing. That said, when the prizes do eventually come, they come thick and fast and will have you reaching for the champagne.
