Fu 88

Players can experience a Chinese-themed online casino game while playing Fu 88. This online slot is rather easy on the eye, with red and gold being prominent colors across the board. All of the pay lines are clearly shown at the top of the screen, as are the various jackpot sizes. Each round can be played with 1, 2, 3, or 4 tickets, with a minimum bet size of 0.05 for each. 

This game was created by Microgaming and Neko Games, with the outcome being an interesting bingo-style game that is played at a relatively fast pace. Of course, Microgaming is well known for producing many top-tier slots, with some of their previous titles including names such as Jade Shuriken, Coin Bash, and the popular Links of Ra. 

There aren't too many symbols within Fu 88, as numbers are the main thing that players will be looking out for. If enough numbers are matched along one of the 19 paylines, a multiple of the bet size will be awarded. Interestingly, each payline has a different value, while some can trigger individual bonus modes.

At the end of the round, players will have the chance to buy up to 12 extra balls, which may help to remove more numbers from their tickets. If they opt to do so, wild balls will be unlocked. Should one appear, players can select any number to cross off. Finally, coins can appear alongside any number, with the potential to trigger one of the bonus modes.

While some players may not expect to find bonuses and jackpots within a bingo game, Fu 88 is loaded with both. If players opt to use all four tickets during a round, then Fu Coins may randomly appear alongside the current number. These coins will be collected and put into a pot in the middle of the screen. When this becomes full, the jackpot bonus mode will activate, with 12 different coins appearing on the screen. 

Players must choose coins until three of a kind appear, which will correspond directly to the bonus that will be awarded. There are a total of 4 different jackpots, known as mini, minor, major, and grand. In the same order, these jackpots can be worth 50x, 250x, 2,500x, and 10,000x. 

Another bonus can be triggered when all of a ticket is filled, apart from the number in the centre. Players will be taken to a series of 5 rows and can start the bonus by selecting one of the figurines on the bottom level. Either a fixed value will be displayed, or the word 'collect'. Should a fixed value be found, players will move on to the next level, with the value being added to the total potential winnings for the round. When they find a 'collect' symbol or reach the top of the 5 rows, any potential winnings will be awarded.

There is a final bonus mode that is very similar, by instead of a five-tiered system of figurines, players can choose between a frog, tree, fish, turtle, and coins. Again, the chosen icon will either have a fixed value prize or prompt for any potential winnings to be collected. The maximum potential win during this mode is 2,300x the bet size. 

It's clear that Microgaming and Neko Games have put a lot of work into Fu 88 to ensure that it offers more entertainment than standard bingo games. With a variety of bonus modes and four different jackpots, it's perhaps no surprise that this game is a popular bingo alternative!
