Yin Yang Legends

Yin Yang Legends Review

The developer expands its collection of games with the Yin Yang Legends slot, and once again takes players to explore rich culture. Although the theme may sound somewhat cliched, the features laid down here work in a pretty different and unique way, providing a one-of-a-kind gameplay experience. The highlight here is obviously the multiple grid system, as players get to spin two reel sets at a time, which brings twice the entertainment.

Design-wise, there's nothing new to see here. Most of the effort has been put into the gameplay, so don't expect anything to surprise you on the surface. It doesn't mean that Yin Yan Legends looks bad - instead, the visuals are pleasing to the eye, and the game offers perfect aesthetics. However, there's hardly anything left in the niche that we haven't seen before, so the entire setting seems kind of familiar. What makes a difference is a large playing area in the center, made up of two separate 5x3 reel sets, each producing 15 winlines. In the middle is sitting a massive stone block that divides the two grids and spins along with them when you hit the play button. It's not just cosmetic though, as it plays into the features, bringing you extra wilds and giving access to the bonus, which we'll cover shortly in the features section.

Playable on any device, the Yin Yang Legends slot comes with a betting range of €0.1 to €100 per spin, so there are plenty of options for both high-rollers and less risky players. The slot is powered by a medium-high volatile math model, while the RTP is disappointingly below the average level at 94.07%. Anyway, wins should occur fairly often, roughly in 1 out of 3 spins in accordance with a solid 35.61% hit rate. As for the wins, players can hope for payouts up to 8,112x the bet on a single spin here, which is pretty decent.

As we head over to the paytable, we see 8 regular symbols that are split into two categories. At the lower end, the pay symbols start with bowls, dumplings, lychees, and emerald crystals, and the premium lot includes in ascending order fans, axes, coins, and sycees. You need to land at least 3 matching symbols adjacently on the reels starting from the leftmost to score a payout, and 5-of-a-kind wins are worth from 1.6x. to 48x your bet. The Ying Yan symbol is Wild, which can appear anywhere on the reels to substitute for any other regular symbols in winning combinations. More than that, Wilds are the most rewarding symbols here, paying 260x the stake for combinations of five.

There are also two bonus symbols, namely Claws and Eggs, which can appear only in the lower and upper reels respectively. As alluded to earlier, there's a massive Central Block that splits the reels, and it can randomly display one of these elements to convert them into Wild symbols during the current spin.

Moreover, if the Central Block spins and reveals Bonus, you proceed to the Free Spins feature. Before the bonus begins, either a Dragon or a Tiger is chosen at random, and then an unlimited round of free games kicks off. If a Dragon is chosen, all wins in the upper area will be multiplied by 2x. If a Tiger is chosen, then the multiplier will be applied to the lower reel.

During the free spins, each converted wild fills the corresponding progress bar above the reels. When one of the meters is filled, the free spins feature comes to an end. Finally, completing the progress bar of a chosen animal will award an additional cash prize of 50x your bet.

Review Summary

All said and done, there's certainly a lot for players to get stuck into when it comes to the gameplay of Ying Yan Legends, and the multiple reels system will surely be enjoyed by slotters. On the outside, however, it's much less impressive, taking place in familiar Chinese surroundings. In conclusion, the features here make for a delightful gaming experience, but it's still mainly for those who can't get enough of Asia, dragons, and tigers.
