Jin Ji Bao XI Endless Treasure slot machine review, strategy, and bonus to play online

One of the many joys of playing Chinese-themed slots is that they are packed with lucky symbols and references to good fortune. The Jin Ji Bao XI Endless Treasure slot is a superb example of this, matching perhaps only 88 Fortunes for its charm.

The Jin Ji Bao XI Endless Treasure slot is well known to players in Las Vegas and Macau's giant casinos, and it crosses over well to digital platforms like TwinSpires Casino.

Those lucky symbols have certainly worked a charm on our players, with many landing big wins, including player Eric M, from Pennsylvania, who recently bagged a $50,000 payout.

How to Play the Endless Treasure Slot Machine

With golden symbols and set against a rich golden background, which oozes a sense of wealth and prosperity, the Jin Ji Bao XI Endless Treasure slot is brought to you by SG Digital.

The five reels and three-row format are filled with golden symbols that evoke China's luck, power, and good fortune. There are golden turtles, tigers, dragons, and fish, for example, which look mighty fine, especially against the rather drab lower-paying card symbols of 9 thru A.

Just in case you were in any doubt about the luck theme here, even the bet sizing contains the number eight – a lucky number in the Far East. The more you bet, the more chances of landing higher value symbols.

Your mission is to match at least three of the same symbols from left to the right – but there are no set paylines. Rather, you have 243 ways to win by the symbols falling anywhere on the successive reels. Wild symbols can land on reels 2, 3, and 4, substituting for all others to increase your winning chances.

But there is much more to this slot. Among the sounds of crashing gongs and Far Eastern music, you can win free spins, re-spins, and also the opportunity to win one of the four available progressive jackpots.

Each time you land a Wild symbol, gold coins spin up and into the pot at the top of the reels. When you collect enough (and the timing is random), you launch a bonus round where you choose three of the 12 coins on the screen. Pick three of the same to launch one of the Mini, Minor, Major, or Grand jackpots.

Endless Treasure Slot Bonus

While we always love bonus features, since these are usually the route to larger wins, there are so many in this game that it can seem a little complicated for some recreational players.

First off, by landing a wild on the third reel as part of a winning line, you get 2x your winnings by transforming your regular symbols into golden ones.

Then there are bonus symbols to watch out for. Six or more of these on the reels trigger the Feature Selector. The first five of these are Free Game options, while the last is a Top Up feature. The number of free spins corresponds to the number of bonus symbols displayed, while the Fu Bonus is the total value appearing on those bonus symbols – this amount is then used in the bonus round.

Select your Free Game Bonus of choice, which differs by the number of golden symbols added to the spins. Go for a higher value symbol, but be aware fewer of them will land during the bonus. During the round, each yellow coin awards a prize equal to the Fu Bonus, and this amount goes into the Shou Bonus Meter so that you can keep track. Get at least three yellow coins to trigger more spins.

The Top Up bonus feature locks the awarding bonus symbols in place. During the free spins, yellow and green coins also become locked – each has a value that adds to your winnings. Look out for the +1 Spin symbol for an additional spin on the bonus feature.

The game is good fun once you get your head around what is going on. Even if you are a little perplexed, the music and atmosphere will sweep you along. The return to player percentage (RTP) is set at around 95%, which is a little below average, as you might expect for a slot with a progressive jackpot feature.
