Play Long Pao by NetEnt for Free

Theme and Graphics

In Long Pao, the characters on the reels are inspired by the Chinese imperial family and are drawn in an anime style. You'll see emperors, empresses, and their descendants on the reels, along with warriors, swords, and other royal symbols. The overall design is pretty good, especially because of all the unique characters. This game doesn't use the same Chinese symbols that we often see in other games set in Asia.

Symbols

The most valuable symbol in the game is the emperor, who will give you a prize that's 40 times your bet if you get 5 of them in a row. NetEnt chose to use European-looking characters for the game, even though they are meant to be Chinese nobles. It's possible that this was a marketing decision, but it seems a little strange. There's also a wild symbol in the game that helps you get more wins. It's a pink symbol with Chinese characters that we assume say "Long Pao." This symbol can also be used during special rounds called Sticky Win replays.

RTP and Volatility

This game has medium volatility and 25 paylines on 5 reels. The RTP, or the amount of money that players can expect to win back, is very high at 96.96%.

Bets and Payouts

To play Long Pao, you can choose how much money you want to bet per spin by selecting a coin value between 0.01 and 1 and a bet size. The symbol values are based on bet level 1, but you can increase this to 10. The total bets for each spin can range from 25 cents to 250 euros. There are a lot of options to choose from to suit different players, and the top prize you can win is around 3,000 times your bet.

Special Features

Wilds

In Long Pao, the wild symbol looks like Chinese characters and can be used to replace other symbols to create winning combinations. But that's not the only special symbol in the game.

Free Spins

There are also symbols that look like golden dragons that can trigger the free spins feature. If you get 5 or more of these symbols, you'll get between 10 and 30 free spins with a 3x multiplier on each one. That means that every win you get during the free spins will be tripled!

Sticky Wins

Long Pao also has a feature called Sticky Wins. This is activated when you get 3 or more free spin symbols in a winning combination. The reels with the winning symbols stay in place while the other reels spin again to give you a chance at getting even more winning symbols. This process continues until no new useful symbols appear. When the Sticky Wins feature ends, all active wins are counted up. This can give you a coin win or trigger the free spins feature that we mentioned earlier.

Strategy Tips

Here are some strategies you can use to increase your chances of winning in Long Pao:

1. Pay attention to the paytable: Before you start playing, it's important to know what each symbol is worth and how many you need to get a prize. This will help you make better decisions about how much to bet and which lines to play on.
2. Use the wild symbol: The wild symbol in Long Pao can be used to replace other symbols to create winning combinations. Make sure to take advantage of this feature to increase your chances of winning.
3. Play all the paylines: While it's possible to win prizes with just a few paylines, you'll increase your chances of winning if you play all 25 paylines. This will also help you trigger the free spins and Sticky Wins features more easily.
4. Take advantage of free spins and Sticky Wins: These features can be very rewarding, so make sure to play long enough to trigger them. The free spins come with a 3x multiplier, so your wins will be tripled, and the Sticky Wins feature gives you extra chances to get winning combinations.
5. Manage your bankroll: It's important to set a budget for your gaming and stick to it. Don't bet more than you can afford to lose, and take breaks to avoid overspending.

Conclusion

We personally tested Long Pao and found that it has a lot of great features that will appeal to fans of the oriental theme. The symbols and overall atmosphere of the game are really nice and we think it will do well in NetEnt's Asian market.

This slot game is fast-paced and can provide some quick thrills, especially with the Sticky Win feature. There's also the chance to get up to 30 free spins, which is a great incentive to keep playing. However, once you get the free spins, there may not be much left to keep you entertained. It's a game that's over pretty quickly, but it's still worth checking out.

Overall, we don't think Long Pao is a bad game, but it might not be the most interesting option for players. Maybe offering higher rewards would help attract more people to the game. For now, Long Pao is targeting a specific niche of players, and NetEnt is hoping to get enough people to sign up and play.
