Cheeky Emperor

A Look at Cheeky Emperor

This game delivers on a regular basis. Cheeky Emperor is a package that should please just about everyone. Its playing field is standard, and consists of 5 reels, 3 rows and 243 ways to win.

Thematically, Cheeky Emperor is aimed at fans of all things Asian, and there’s an animated dragon standing right next to the playing field at all times. That gives the atmosphere a nice boost, and the production values are definitely above average. The game feels alive, and the symbol designs are colorful and nice to look at.

Let’s now take a look at the slot’s math model. The volatility level of Cheeky Emperor is medium-high, and you can win up to 2,500x your bet. The least that you can play for is then £0.88, while the game’s max bet is £105. Finally, the theoretical RTP of Cheeky Emperor is 96.50%, which is above average.

Cheeky Emperor Slot Features

There are 11 pay symbols in Cheeky Emperor, and it’s possible to divide them into 6 low pays and 5 high pays. For low pays, there are card ranks from Nines to Aces, and they all pay the same, well below 1x your bet for a full combination. That might look low, but there are 243 ways to win. Things do get better with the game’s high pays. They show scrolls, amulets, and mainly gold coins in all kinds of bags. The top-paying symbol then pays more than 10x your bet for a five-of-a-kind combination.

For specials, there are Character Wilds and Golden Symbol Scatters. Character Wilds can appear only on the middle three reels, and they can substitute for other symbols in winning combos. Golden Symbol Scatters, on the other hand, are there to trigger free spins.

Each Character Wild that appears can randomly trigger the Jackpot Bonus Game feature, which is all about picking from golden coins and revealing Jackpot symbols. Your goal is to match 3 Jackpot symbols, which will then give you the corresponding jackpot. The jackpots are called Mini, Minor, Major, and Grand, and they are worth 10x, 20x, 100x, and 1,000x your bet, respectively.

If you get 3+ Golden Symbol Scatters from left to right on adjacent reels, you’ll trigger the Free Spins feature with both a nice coin win and 10 free spins. Retriggers are possible (with no limits), and free spins come with reels that don’t have any low pays. That makes it much easier to get big wins.

Review Summary

Although Cheeky Emperor is not a massive slot, it’s an Asian-themed package that offers great audiovisuals, 4 fixed jackpots, and free spins without low pays. That’s a fancy combination, and we also praise the slot’s math model, which comes with a juicy RTP.
