Where to Play Chi for Real Money
No-Deposit Free Spins for Chi
That may explain why we are such a fan of the provider Elk Studios: their slots are always slightly different, with creative bonus rounds and striking themes.
With Chi, things are literally turned upside down: there is a kind of tube that is 3 wide and 5 rows deep and the paylines run from top to bottom and from bottom to top. That takes some getting used to, in the beginning you often don't understand why you haven't made a winning combination or why you haven't made a winning combination.
The theme is Eastern: Chi is the Chinese word for "natural energy of the universe". In the background are the characteristic pink blossom on the trees and through the mist you can see beautiful mountains, pagodas and temples. In any case, it looks divinely beautiful.
During the game, Kung Fu Panda-esque sidekicks join you: an orange cat named Chi and a red cat named Mow. They conjure up extra boosters in the game at random times.
How does the Chi video slot work?
As we mentioned earlier, the paylines are structured in a somewhat different way. There are 15 of them, and they apply vertically, rather than the usual horizontal way. They also count from both sides.
You bet from 0.20 euros per spin and that goes up to 20 euros per spin. As with any Elk Studios slot, you can also choose to work with a betting strategy: you let the game bet for you with fixed betting patterns.
The theoretical payout percentage is 96%.
The maximum payout is 1,250,000 coins, which equates to 12,500 x the total bet. The variance is high.
Symbols and Payouts
The symbols all have typical Chinese themes. The highest paying symbol is the Lotus flower, which pays 10 x the total bet with 5 of the same on a payline. The medium symbols include a lantern and golden attributes: these pay out between 3 x and 6 x the bet.
As low symbols, Elk Studios has chosen not for card symbols but for Koi Carps, fans, cups and staffs. These are worth between 2 x and 2.5 x the total bet.
Chi and Mow mini features
Chi and Mow can appear at random times during the game.
The cat Chi (the spirit of fire) conjures between 1 and 6 extra wilds on the screen.
Mow (the spirit of the water) provides an extra multiplier of a minimum of 2 x and a maximum of 5 x.
Chi and Mow can appear during both the base game and the free spins. During the free spins, Mow provides a +1 multiplier, which applies for the rest of the free spins. The maximum multiplier is 5 x.
Free spins bonus
3 or more Free Spins scatters will give you a minimum of 10 and a maximum of 20 free spins. The free spins can be retriggered.
Bonus Game
If you spin 3 or more Bonus Game scatters, you win the Bonus Game game. Chi and Mow stand on the clouds and try to get as close as possible to the temple, where the top prize of 10,000 x the stake awaits them.
You gain extra steps (between 1 and 6), until the dreaded “collect” appears. The further you get, the more you win.
Chi Screenshots
Chi is a somewhat strange, but very nice release from Elk Studios. Graphically it looks great and the bonus features are also attractive. It is theoretically possible to win 12,500 x the total bet, which is big enough to get even the riskier player interested.
