Mahjong Jinpai Review

Skywind Group slot games share many great features in common, and clearly, the provider cares about top-notch quality, details, and amusing entertainment. The developer often provides an all-ways-win gameplay experience, which is also a thing in Mahjong Jinpai. Here, you will be playing on a huge setup with 5 reels, 6 rows and 7,776 win ways!

The visual presentation is as pleasing as we expected it to be, given this brand-new slot is developed by Skywind Group. The video slot is dedicated to the famous Chinese tile-based game. As a result, you are to see the Asian-themed picture in the background with no boring card rank symbols on the playing field. Instead, all the symbols are literally tiles that depict Chinese characters. No wonder the soundtrack is inspired by relaxing Chinese folk music, although you may disable the sound in the settings.

If you had experienced the times of old computers with no Internet connection, then you remember those few incorporated games among which were various card games and Mahjong. What a joy it was to play a game that required sharp memory, concentration, and even adaptive strategy!

The mathematical model of Mahjong Jinpai has a high volatility level. The advertised jackpot is solid at 5,000x, while the theoretical RTP of 96.5% makes you feel safe as well. The bet consists of a coin value multiplied by 20 credits; therefore, players can enjoy this Chinese-themed slot with stakes from €0.2 to €300.

Mahjong Jinpai Slot Features

We love it when developers design symbols under themes so that even low pays are not neglected by looking like typical card ranks. Since all the symbols are presented in the form of tiles with Chinese characters on them, it’s no wonder they all look unique.

The Mahjong Jinpai slot has 9 regular symbols that can be conditionally divided into low pays (5x and 10x for 5 in a combo), medium pays (15-25x for 5-of-a-kind), and high pays (50x and 88x for a full combo). Note that all wins are multiplied by a coin value.

As for special symbols, you are likely to encounter scatters and wilds. Scatters land anywhere on the reels and trigger the Free Spins feature if there are at least three of them. Wilds substitute for all regulars but only appear on reels 2, 3 and 4.

Despite the game having no innovative features, it feels like it hides a lot. Even basic features and bonus symbols offer some challenges.

Let’s start with the gameplay process since almost all other features depend on it. Mahjong Jinpai is powered by the popular Cascading/Avalanche feature that ensures players have a chance for multiple winnings per single spin. All tiles that participated in a winning combination are to be removed from the grid so that remaining or new symbols can drop down. The Avalanche makes it possible to get several wins in a row, which impacts the next feature we are to discuss, and that is the increasing Multiplier.

The Multiplier increases after each win during the Cascade but resets once the feature is over and a new spin begins. In the base game, the Multiplier values are x1, x2, x3, x4, and x5. However, in the free games, the Multiplier has the following numbers: x2, x4, x6, x8, and x10.

Besides all the symbols, the grid contains blocked tiles that do not contribute to winning. Once these blocked tiles are adjacent to any symbols that participate in a winning combination, they reveal random regular symbols. Some other slots name this tricky, helpful feature the Mystery Symbol feature. But there's more.

During any moment of the game, the Flipped Tiles feature may be suddenly triggered: all blocked tiles become 'alive' and reveal random symbols.

As you noticed, the grid has not only basic tiles and blocked tiles - sometimes gold tiles came into view as well. If they participate in a winning combination during the Cascade, they have no choice but to reveal wilds. Those wilds remain on the grid until the following Cascade, and they are removed from the reels when involved in a winning combination. Since wilds can only appear on reels 2, 3 and 4, the gold tiles can just be seen on those specific reels, too. Just like the previous feature we discussed above (the Flipped Tiles), there is the Gold Reels feature that can be triggered during any part of the game. Once it is activated, one of the reels (2nd, 3rd or 4th in the base game but 2nd or 4th in the free game) will contain only gold tiles for the duration of the spin.

Now, let’s jump into the main feature all players are always waiting for with anticipation and big hopes. You need to land 3 scatters in the base game to activate the very Free Spins feature, which will award you with 12 free spins, to begin with.

Luckily, you have an opportunity to prolong this feature as each additional scatter will give you 12 more free games. As you already understood, with the Free Spins feature, everything becomes better with a chance to hit the jackpot of 5,000x your bet thanks to doubled Multiplier values and the Gold Reels feature with extra wilds!
