Top Asian Themed Slots

The Far East has been one of the most popular themes for online slot games for a long time. For those in the Western world, the stunning artwork and architecture, combined with the mystical and wonderful mythology of this part of the planet is a cause of great intrigue, and as a result, these slots continue to be as popular as they ever have been.

It is, therefore, no surprise that despite the plethora of slots based around the theme of Asia that already exist, developers are still regularly releasing new slot games on the topic.

If, like many others, you are interested in slots of this type, it can be hard to know where to start due to the myriad of options that exists, and is constantly increasing.

This guide will introduce you to a few of the best Asian themed slots around, obviously there are more, but these games will be a great place to start.

Thai Princess – Blueprint Gaming

Blueprint Gaming may not be the first software developer you think of when it comes to slot games, but they have one of the most popular Thai themed titles in the shape of Thai Princess.

A simple slot in terms of features, these five-reel, 20 payline game includes numbers and letters as the lower value symbols, while the Thai Princess and other themed symbols make up the higher values, as well as the wild, and scatter symbols.

All symbols can appear stacked, and three or more Lotus Flower scatters will trigger the free spins feature, which starts basic, but can be re-triggered with extra features like sticky wilds and the removal of lower value symbols.

Golden Legend – Play’n Go

Gold has a lot to do with Far Eastern culture, and it is, therefore, no surprise that many slots based on that culture are also adorned with gold. One of the goldest, if you will, is Golden Legend, a five-reel, 50 payline slot from Play’n Go.

The highest value is the Tiger, which will pay out 1,000 times your bet for five in a payline, and three scatter symbols triggers the free spins feature, where you will be given 10 spins, with two wild symbols on each spin, which are stacked throughout the feature.

Hong King Tower – Elk Studios

Still a fairly young name in the industry, Elk Studios have made a reputation for themselves as a software developer which takes alternative approaches to classic themes, and Hong Kong Tower is further proof of this fact.

With earth, wind, fire, and other elements making up the lower values, while a gold 7, a diamond, a bonsai tree, and a lotus flower are the higher value symbols.

There’s no Wild symbol here, instead there’s a mystery symbol which will transform into another symbol to form winning combinations, or trigger the Wheels of Sky feature. This feature can also be triggered by landing three bonus symbols, which takes you to a Wheel of Fortune style round which can lead to big wins.

1421 Voyages of Zheng He - IGT

With their slot Cleopatra, IGT lead one market when it comes to popular slot themes, Ancient Egypt, and with 1421 Voyages of Zheng He, they’re trying to do the same with the Far East.

With five reals and up to 88 paylines (8 being the lucky number in Chinese culture), this slot is based on the legend of Zheng He, and has some exciting features.

The wild symbol will not only substitute for any other symbol (except the scatter) to create winning combinations, it will also pay 888 times your bet for five in a payline.

There are two main features, the Cup Feature, which is the classic game where a gold ball is hidden under one of three cups, which are then shuffled, pick the right cup, and you’ll win.

The free spins feature offers either 10 spins with a 3x multiplier, 15 spins with a 2x multiplier, or 20 spins with a 1x multiplier.

Win Sum Dim Sum – Microgaming

Definitely the most fun name to say on the list, Win Sum Dim Sum takes its influence from another important part of Asian culture, food.

Not the first, slot to take food as its concept, Win Sum Dim Sum might be the most fun, a charming looking slot full of colour and food that looks surprisingly tasty for cartoon style images.

This five-reel, nine payline slot includes two wild symbols, one standard wild symbol that works like all others, and an expanding wild that appears on the third reel. The latter only appears in the free spins feature, which is triggered when you land three Teapot scatter symbols.

It’s fair to assume that there will be many more slots of this type released over the next year or so, this is a list of games that will continue to grow.
