There’s nothing wrong with partaking in a three reel slot every now and again; of course you miss out on the bonus features more usually associated with five reel slots but they’re not everybody’s cup of tea anyway.  Sometimes the simple option is the best one and online slots don’t come much more simple than Playtech’s Chinese Kitchen.

Chinese Kitchen is a three reel, eight payline slot which looks at first glance to be fantastically politically incorrect.  A second glance will immediately confirm that suspicion and in this particular dining establishment all manner of live animals are on the menu and they of course make up the symbols.  We have starfish, a duck, octopi, caterpillars, fish, a frog, crabs, snails and turtles. The turtle is the jackpot meal and will be worth 1000x your stake if you can land three on an active payline.

The reels are a 3 x 3 square affair and that means Playtech have arranged the paylines so that they run vertically from top to bottom and horizontally from left to right; the lone diagonal payline runs from top left to bottom right. The interesting feature is that you can select individual paylines as if you were selecting items from a Chinese menu:

“Number 7? That’ll be vertical centre Sir; number 4? Very good choice – that’s the diagonal.”

Once you’ve chosen you paylines you can now choose your wager and there are three bet levels.  With a cash range from $0.01 to £5.00, that means there’s a betting range from $0.01 to $120.00.

Verdict

You pretty much get what you see with three reel slots and Chinese Kitchen is no exception; it’s simple, it’s fast-moving and it looks nice and if you just want to spin the reels in a classic, Las Vegas kind of way, this could be the slot for you.
