The only drawback to travelling to the Far East is the length of time it takes to get there and all the hassle with airports, jet lag and the like; if you’d like just a taste of the inscrutable Orient without the journey then why not check out an online slot such as Jade Idol, a release from NextGen Gaming with some cartoonish looks and plenty of free spins.

Jade Idol is a five reel slot with three rows and up to twenty paylines; the design is quite basic but behind the yellowish-orange reels we can just about make out a Chinese junk floating on the water and some silhouetted skyscrapers.

There are some familiar Oriental symbols here including a Chinese junk, an ornate fan, a paper lantern plus a huge diamond; 9, 10, J, Q, K and A make up the lower values.

The dark-haired girl (whose name is apparently Kitty) is wild and she will replace all others to help form winning matches except for the Jade Idol scatter symbol.

Bonus Features

Free Spins

This is triggered by landing three or more of the Jade Idol scatter symbols anywhere in view for which you will receive the following:

• Three Idols – 10 free spins
• Four Idols – 15 free spins
• Five Idols – 20 free spins

During this round all wins be subject to a 3x  multiplier and the extra good news is that more free spins can be triggered by landing the correct number of scatters once more.

Verdict

Jade Idol is rather a basic slot with some pretty average graphics and a fairly run-of-the-mill free spins feature; there are certainly better Oriental-themed games out there but if you want to complete the collection then give it a go – it comes with an RTP of 95.04%.
