The feats of endurance and courage which help Koi carp to swim upstream are the reason why this fish is celebrated in Chinese culture and that’s also why we see it so regularly in online slots with an oriental theme; this one’s called Koi Gate, it’s developed by Habanero Systems and it comes with expanding wild symbols and free spins.

Koi Gate is a five reel slot with three rows and eighteen fixed paylines although wins can be formed anywhere as long as there are three matching symbols on adjacent reels.

The ‘gate’ in question is a structure hovering over the water in which the symbols spin, enlivened by cherry blossom and lilies.

The theme-related symbols here include the red gate, a lotus flower, a bamboo thicket, a leaf and some waves; J, Q, K and A represent the lower values.

The dragon is wild and it will substitute for all symbols to help form winning combos; there’s also a Koi which we shall describe below….

Bonus Features

Koi Respins

The orange Koi only appears on reels two, three, four and five but when it lands it will award a free respin; any more Koi appearing will continue the process and all wins will be multiplied by 2x during this feature.

Koi are also wild, they’ll replace all symbols to form winning matches and transform into dragons covering their whole reel when they land.

Verdict

There’s plenty of animal attraction in Koi Gate and it’s a slot which tempts you in with serene good looks and keeps you spinning the reels with the promise of those Koi Respins – we like it!
