Emperors Gardenby NextGen Gaming

Get ready for a dose of Ancient Asian culture with Emperors Garden from NexGen Entertainment.

This Asian inspired video slot brings beauty and features to the reels with its elegant design and NexGen creativity. Set among a rich emperors garden complete with pagodas, Koi ponds and cherry blossoms, Emperors Garden is a welcoming slot.

Hidden among the beauty in the garden are expanding wilds and free spins with multipliers. We would expect nothing less from a NexGen creation.

Emperors Garden Rules

Emperors Garden is a 5-reel slot with 25 adjustable pay lines. Betting options range from $0.01 a line, up to $2.00 per line. The total maximum bet is a meager $50. This slot ranges on the low end, and is budget friendly.

Controls are a bit awkward, as they are on a separate screen. They are simple and easy to use, but I don’t understand why some NexGen slots like to use this feature. Regardless of my opinion, the controls are very basic with line adjustments, coin ranges and an Autoplay.

There is no gamble feature attached to this slot which may disappoint some; but, the addition of the expanding wilds will make up for this.

Emperors Garden Symbols

There are 2 sets of standard symbols in this slot. The first are the 9 through Ace that have a nice, detailed design. The Ace pays out the most at 250 coins
The second set are the themes symbols. These include a pagoda and blossom that pay the same 500 coins. A Chinese lion statue, or Fu Dog that will pay a maximum of 1000 coins. The largest paying symbol is the Emperor who pays out 2,000 coins.

All of these symbols require at least 3 or more in a row to make a winning combination except the Emperor and Fu Dog that only need 2.

Expanding Wilds and Free Spins

The wild symbol is the games logo. This symbol will only appear on reels 2, 3 and/or 4. When it does land, it can expand across the entire reel. The wild will only expand it will make a winning combination.

The scatter symbol will trigger the free spin game when 3 or more hit the reels. This symbol is represented by the Koi Fish.

During free spins, you get 10 free spins with the expanding wild feature. All wins made using the expanding wild will be tripled.

Final Verdict

Emperors Garden is a minimalist slot that flows with the Asian theme. The design and game play are exactly what they are supposed to be with no hitches other than the second screen game controls. Again, a minor hindrance I’m willing to forgo.

The best feature is the expanding wild as it can create some big wins. The largest win being a 15,000 coin pay out during the free spins. Its small bet amounts and easy to use design will appeal to your average slot player.

Its design and big payouts will appeal to all!
