The Lady herself is the Wild symbol, appearing only on reels 2, 3 and 4. Getting all 3 of them doesn't pay anything at all, damn, but they trigger the Lady Of The Orient feature game, awarding 3 rounds of pick-and-match game. Match 3 Cat symbols and win the corresponding prize in each round. Well, the maximum amount that can be won in this feature game is not stated, but my few games on it paid from 14x to 39x my bet amount, which is not that good but not too bad either. This replaces the missing win value for getting the 3 Lady Wild symbols, but frankly speaking, it isn't a good trade-off.
The Palace is the Scatter symbol, 5 of which pays the usual 100x the total bet, and getting 3, 4 or 5 of these symbols trigger 15 free spins with all wins tripled. More free spins can be retriggered. Yeah, right. Every time I see this 'can be retriggered' thing in any Microgaming game, I really wonder if they even exists! Out of the hundreds of Microgaming games that I have played so far, I think I've only gotten those 'retriggers' in about 10 games, or slightly more! They're more like a hype to me, similarly with getting those 5 Wilds or 5 Scatters. Not one single 5-of-a-kind win on the high-paying Wilds nor on the Scatters, and this is for well over a period of several years of playing!
The other symbols in the game pay not too badly though. The Elephant pays 5000x, the Ship pays 1000x, and the rest paying from 500x to 100x, all per line bet for 5 of each kind. Nonetheless, the overall paytable is a low one, with the Wild symbols being particularly disappointing, for not paying for itself, for not doubling any wins, and for not coming stacked or expanding either. The feature game it triggers couldn't even come close to replacing the lost winning chances.
