RTP configurations

This game does not run at one fixed RTP. It ships 10 figures, and which one applies depends on the condition in each row — buying the bonus, an ante bet or a game setting. All of them were read off the game’s own rules screen.

Accessibility

profile for all groups
Color Blind
  • Jackpot tier bar: MINI green triangle, MINOR blue diamond, MAJOR red multi-facet gem, GRAND multicolor rainbow hexagon. A tier badge shows in full color only once the chosen Golden Symbol count reaches its threshold (2/3/4/5); below threshold it renders flat grey/silver ('locked') while the tier name and gem shape stay legible.
  • Golden Symbol selector bar (1-5 segments): chosen segments filled bright gold/orange, remaining segments dark purple/maroon; each segment also shows a numeral and its FUN price, so the count is confirmed by text, not fill color alone.
  • Golden symbols are glossy gold/bronze metallic statues on dark wood-toned cards versus full-color illustrations on warm-toned cards for regular symbols; also separated by paytable column (regular = left, golden = right), not by a color swatch alone.
  • Free Spins signaled by a full scene change from the base game's pale daytime palette to a deep indigo/purple starry night sky, reinforced by a red 'BONUS ACTIVE' tag and red-tinted HUD bar, not a color swap alone.
Screen Reader
  • The Golden-Symbol selector bar (below the reels) and the four-tier jackpot bar (above the reels) are stateful strips unique to this game that change with every bet adjustment (selected count; which tiers are unlocked) and would need dedicated live-region handling; other controls (info/settings bottom-left, balance/bet center, autoplay/spin bottom-right) stay in a stable layout across all base-game states.
Motor Accessibility
  • Total Bet is adjusted only via small up/down triangle arrow buttons beside the bet field, needing many repeated presses to reach the bet floor (0.08 FUN) or ceiling (88.00 FUN); no direct numeric entry or drag control observed. The Golden Symbol selector needs only a single click on the desired 1-5 segment.
  • Jackpot Round AUTO button reveals all remaining coins automatically, removing the need for up to 12 individual coin-tap actions.
Hearing Accessibility
  • Music and Sound FX are togglable independently in Settings; no game information (wins, spin counts, jackpot tiers, bet) is conveyed by audio alone -- all state is shown as on-screen text/graphics.
Low Vision
  • A K Q J 10 royal symbols are colored A=gold/yellow, K=red, Q=purple/violet, J=green, 10=magenta/pink; each also carries its own distinct letter/number glyph, so identity does not depend on color discrimination alone.

Data provenance

what we captured and what we didn't
Captured: base game with Golden-Symbol selector at multiple counts, paytable (12 pages, full scroll verified to bottom), rules (8 pages, full scroll verified to bottom), autoplay/autospin settings, settings dialog, buy-bonus dialog (5 priced options), all 5 Free Spins purchase variants played to their win screens, a naturally-triggered Jackpot Round (trigger + mid-reveal + win screen) with balance confirmation, and bet floor/ceiling.
PRINTED RULES ERROR: rules booklet states the Golden Symbol multiplier for 2 symbols is x16; every live measurement (three base-bet levels) shows the actual multiplier is x18. The 1/3/4/5-symbol figures (x8/x38/x68/x88) do match. Live UI value (x18) treated as ground truth.
PRINTED RULES ERROR: rules booklet states jackpot tier multipliers of x2000 (MINI)/x3750 (MINOR)/x75000 (MAJOR)/x200000 (GRAND) of the base bet; the live tier bar and an actual jackpot win (MINI, 5.00 FUN at base bet 0.01, matching the pre-round panel and confirmed by balance change 954.56 to 959.56 FUN) show x500/x1000/x18750/x50000 of BASE bet instead. Live/won values treated as ground truth.
Golden Koi fish's printed payout (3:0.20/4:0.40/5:2.00 FUN) is identical to the regular Koi fish payout, unlike every other golden/regular pair which pays visibly more for the golden version. Confirmed by direct zoom, not a misread, but flagged as worth an independent second check since it breaks the game's stated 'golden pays more' pattern.
A separate static/decorative illustration of the golden-symbol strip (preview carousel + two paytable pages) prints flat '5/10/15/20/25 FUN' labels under the 1-5 numerals; these match neither the live selector-bar values nor the x8/18/38/68/88 multiplier rule at any base bet tested (they scale linearly 1:2:3:4:5). Treated as a generic/template promotional graphic, not an actual price paid.
Overall volatility rating is not stated anywhere on the captured screens (no meter, flame/bolt icon or descriptive sentence); volatility value used elsewhere is sourced from the provider's game card, not the in-game build.
bonus_2.png (Jackpot Round mid-reveal) shows only ONE coin revealed (a GRAND-tier rainbow gem) among 12, whereas the capturing agent's manifest note for that file described two revealed coins (GRAND then MAJOR). This documentation reflects only what is visible in the single reviewed frame; the second-coin claim is unresolved.
Individual per-letter payout values for the A/K/Q/J/10 royals were not shown separately from a single combined paytable row; that all five royals share the identical 0.10/0.20/1.00 FUN payout schedule is inferred, not independently confirmed.
Royal glyphs A, K, Q, J and 10 are five separate reel symbols that share a single printed payout row (3: 0.10, 4: 0.20, 5: 1.00 FUN at a 0.76 FUN total bet). They are catalogued as five records with identical payouts; an earlier revision wrongly merged them into one record, mistaking the paytable's compact layout for the game's structure.

Surrounding symbolism: golden coins, red lanterns/tassels, a string of hanging coin-charms, purple lotus flowers (Wild), and a set of Chinese/East-Asian zodiac-styled animals (tiger, panda, phoenix, turtle, koi fish) as the paying symbols, each with a 'golden' upgraded counterpart. Background art (base game) is a soft pastel misty green/blue mountain landscape with foliage; free-spins background switches to a deep purple/blue starry night sky with distant clouds.",
