Slot Features
Lotus Flower is the Wild symbol in the game that can substitute for any symbol except for the Scatter, and it can appear on all reels. If it happens that the number of Golden symbols you chose is 2 or more, Wild symbols with coins will start to appear on the reels. Every time a Wild with a Coin appears, the coin will get added to the progress bar.
Golden Symbols
Below each reel, you will notice Golden Symbols buttons, while the actual symbols are set on the right side of the grid. The symbols will become accessible and active depending on the chosen number of symbols below the reels. The regular symbols that you choose to turn golden will consequently have higher payouts. Choosing more than 1 Golden symbol creates the possibility to get into a jackpot round.
Free Spins
You need to land at least 3 Scatters to trigger the feature that will award 10 spins, and it can be retriggered with an additional 3 Scatters that will award extra 10 spins. The maximum number of spins you can win through retriggers is 300. During the feature, only the high-paying symbols, the Scatters and the Wilds will appear.
Jackpot
The game has 4 Jackpots whose values are displayed above the grid, and these include Mini, Major, Minor & Grand. Which Jackpots you are eligible for depends on the number of golden symbols chosen: Mini requires 2 symbols, Minor 3 symbols, Major needs 4 to be active and Grand requires all 5 of them.
After 12 Coins get collected in the progress bar, every next coin can activate the Jackpot round. Here, the collected 12 coins will appear on the screen, and you will choose a coin that will spin around and become a coin of one of the available jackpots. If you get 3 coins of the same Jackpot, you will win the respective jackpot value. If you do not want to choose yourself, you will also have the auto-pick option available.
Summary
Maneki 88 Gold has beautiful sharp graphics, it is filled with bold colours, and the artwork is simply adorable. The gameplay is fairly interesting with some interesting twists like the Golden symbols and the Jackpot addition really adds to the charm. RTP is 96.9% with medium volatility that will not put the game on the adrenaline-chasing players’ radar but does make it good for all the others. Max win exposure, however, is a bit low and capped at x2614 the bet.
