Hong Kong Tower

The Hong Kong skyline is iconic, recognisable in an instant across the world. That’s the first thing you see in Hong Kong Tower from ELK Studios, and the stylised animation is a sign of things to come, in terms of the graphics and animations within this game. It has the usual ELK Studios slot feel, with the transparent spin button set to the right of the screen. But you instantly notice the graphics on the main reels, which are reminiscent of Asian-themed arcade games from the early 90s.

It works as a theme, and it’s one that fans of Street Fighter and similar games will find recognisable. The reels themselves are filled with fruit symbols, lucky number 7s, flame symbols, water symbols, and other highly stylised icons, reflecting a keen eye for design detail that runs throughout this game.

In terms of the game itself, it runs across the typical 5 reels, but there are 99 paylines in play on any given spin.

Like with many of our online slots, one of the best features is the Wheels of the Sky bonus round, where you’re taken atop a Hong Kong skyscraper for a big money bonus round. It’s possible to see winnings of 6,000 coins or more pretty easily in this round, which is essentially several spins on a Wheel of Fortune-style money wheel.

Wherever the wheel stops, that’s the cash bonus you receive, and everything you potentially win in the round is totalled and credited to your balance once your free spins are complete. This can be pretty lucrative when the spins work in your favour, so it’s always good news when it rolls around.

You can spin from 0.20 to 100.00, with a maximum potential jackpot standing at 1500x, which isn’t the highest I’ve seen. However, if you’re spinning at 100.00, that’s still coming in at a pretty penny, and would be a life-changing win for most people. At its core, this is just a highly playable game, with all the hallmarks of a cult classic. But when you add in the decent payout potential, it becomes an altogether more enticing prospect.

Feature Symbols

Unusually, this is a game that doesn’t have any wild symbols – they just don’t feature on the reels or in the game at all. However, that’s not to say this is a game without bonuses or special features – far from it, and the bonus rounds are in fact some of the most profitable you’ll find on this type of slot.

The Mystery Symbol: This is almost like a wild, but it doesn’t have the same flexibility. When this appears on your reels, it will spin and convert into one of the other symbols. It might be the case that it ends up completing a payline if you get the symbol you need, but in most cases, it will simply become a symbol that’s of no consequence to any of your paylines. If these symbols turn into bonus symbols however, they are still capable of triggering the famous Wheels of the Sky feature, where the biggest wins are to be had.

Wheels of the Sky: Three or more of the Yin and Yang bonus symbols triggers the Wheels of the Sky bonus feature. We’ve touched on this above, as the bonus round where you get the chance to spin the wheel and take your prizes. It’s a simple enough concept, but the bonus game feels like a whole new challenge, and helps keep things fresh when you’re playing through. Of course, it’s also a great way to win some of the biggest prizes the game has to offer, especially with multipliers and repeated spins of the big money wheels.
