Bonus Rounds and Payouts
As mentioned above, Si Xiang does not offer any bonus rounds or features,
which may be off-putting to high rollers. That said, it is still a worthy game
to play, especially for casual gamers just looking for some enjoyable online
slots action on the reels. While there are no free spins or special features,
the game does offer four main symbols, all of which are high paying. These are
Meng Zheng the Dragon, Ling Guang the Phoenix, Zhi Ming the Turtle and Jian Bing
the Tiger. Land the turtle to receive 750 coins, the phoenix to earn 1200 coins
and five dragon and tiger symbols for 5000 coins each.
Additional Game Features
Si Xiang is a five reel, three row and nine payline online slot by Playtech
set against a backdrop of red Chinese dragons and an authentic Oriental
soundtrack. The game features four high value symbols including a dragon, a
giant bird, tiger and tortoise/snake. Lower value symbols include 9, 10, J, Q,
K, and A. The Yin Yang symbol is the wild and replaces all other symbols
including the scatter, although it has no payout value on its own. The wild
appears on the second, third and fourth reels. The game logo represents the
scatter and will earn players a top prize of 100x the line stake when you spot
five on the reels.
Before you begin, you are advised to adjust your bets. Click on Line Bet to
change your coin size, which ranges from 0.01 to 100.00. The Lines button lets
you choose the number of paylines you wish to play. The Auto Play function lets
you choose a specific number of spins to play automatically and uninterrupted,
while the Bet Max button lets you automatically set the maximum bet. Finally,
the Turbo Mode can be used to spin twice as fast as usual. Once you are ready,
you may press Start and the reels will be set in motion.

Summary
Si Xiang may be another Oriental-themed online slot game, but definitely
ranks among the most exciting and authentic ones we have come across in recent
times. That’s because Playtech, the software provider behind the title, never
disappoints when it comes to game offerings.
While the game is simple and straightforward, it will appeal to casual
players or low rollers, although there are some decent wins in store for high
rollers as well. While the game may be lacking in the bonus feature department,
the special symbols are worth a pretty penny should you land them.
