A dragon ghost, You Cheng and lady Bao
Ming Dynasty China is the setting for BF Games' slot Book of Ming, so Ming Dynasty China is where the slot is set. Well, a China of the distant past with a soaring dragon ghost, the fighter You Cheng and lady Bao. BF Games released it on 1 March 2018.
The grid here is 5 reels of 3 rows. It is wagerable from 0.10 to 100 credits per spin, and the reels hold 10 paylines. I played 340 spins at 10 credits each, starting from a balance of 10,000.
Numerically, BF Games supplies this slot in more than one RTP variant, and in this specific instance RTP is 96.33%. The studio sheet lists 92.08% and 94.09% alongside it. Volatility is as high as they come. The longest run without any win in my session was 21 spins, ending on spin 225. There can be long delays between free spins. Outside the free spins, my best result was 28x the stake, on spin 72.
What three Book Scatters open
Book Scatters, the Special Expanding Symbol, and free spins are what the feature list contains. Book of Cai Shen and Book of Aztec are two other slots that carry the Book name.
When 3 Book Scatters land, the free spins in this slot are activated, and hitting 3 scatters grants 10 free spins. In my session those 10 free spins produced 54% of everything the slot paid out.
The round is played with a Special Expanding Symbol once in. Winnings can also be taken into Gamble Mode.
Minty’s Final Note: The studio promises a hit on 28% of spins; my 340 paid on 15%, and a single free-spins round on spin 15 accounted for 54% of the credits the game handed back. Of everything on the Book of Ming sheet, Very High volatility is the claim the session backed up without argument.
Where did the other 13% of hits go?
Here, the win frequency is modest, and most spins pass by without a prize. That was 288 of 340 in my session. BF Games' sheet gives a 28% hit rate against my 15%, and 19 of my 52 paying spins returned less than the stake.
Book of Ming can be rather fickle, as I'd expect from an extremely volatile slot. Over the session I got back 2,738 of the 3,400 credits wagered, a return of 80.5%. In my session, the bonus round activated early on, on spin 15. It yielded 149x the stake, and then a second activation never arrived in the leftover 325 spins.
