Jade Idol Slot Review 2024

Jade Idol is a Cryptologic game which offers us 5 reels that have 9 paylines on them. The game has a total of $50,000 worth of prizes for its best paying combination, plus features which include scatters, multipliers, free games and wild symbols.

The game's theme is inspired by the Chinese, only here it seems to be focused on a lady from that country and on a green idol made out of jade. The main character is a beautiful brunette Asian girl, with full makeup and jewelry on her. The image in the background shows us a city with skyscrapers with the nearby ocean taking over most of the image. A Chinese sail ship is visible near the city. The reels are rather simple, yellow and with brown borders between them. They use way too many playing card icons on them, to the point where they take over more positions than the theme inspired symbols do. These symbols start with a blue diamond, and continue with the skyline view, the Chinese sail ship, a hand fan, a Chinese lantern, a green Monkey idol and Kitty (the lady).

The game's maximum wager of 9 coins can go up to $45 in value, if the $5 coin is used. The bets can use coins that are worth as little as $0.01 if necessary though. The player can get a prize of up to 10,000 coins, which is going to be valued at up to $50,000 (the exact value depends on the coin used for that round's bet).

The blue diamond is the symbol that gives away that big prize. This symbol doesn't have any other features, besides awarding the 10,000 coins of the jackpot.

The scatter symbol gives us an image with a city skyline, filled with skyscrapers. The only role of a scatter symbol here is to award payouts, which vary between 1x the bet (you get your money back) and 100x the bet of that round. You need between 2 and 5 scatters for that to happen, and these symbols can be in any position.

The wild symbols are of two types. First of all, you have the green monkey symbol, which will show up on the 5^th reel of the game. The second one is represented by the lady called Kitty, and it can appear on the first four reels. Both symbols act as regular wilds, and have no payouts of their own. If you manage to get at least one Kitty symbol and the Monkey symbol to be present at the same time, you get the bonus feature activated. The player gets 5 games for free and they have 2x multipliers.

It's a lovely game as far as the features go, and the prizes are very good also. The theme's symbols could've had more images which had a connection with the theme though.
