The July 2021 video slot Guan Yu is among the 4+ games—alongside Endless Fortune, Mu Dan Peony, and Long and Happy Life (October 2020)—in the developer Ainsworth’s oriental Pan Chang game family.

Based on, and named after, the Easter Han dynasty-era military officer Guan Yu (about 160-220 A.D.); its themes are martial arts, dynastic China, Feng Shui beliefs, folk religion, dragon mythology, deification, warriorhood, and historical figure.

The Guan Yu’s major features: drawing more similar symbols progressively, repopulating logos, 50 nonadjustable lines, stacked symbols, ten bet sizes, rightward combinations, guaranteed nine-of-a-kind, two scatters, accumulating knots, four non-progressive jackpots, two retriggering free modes, bet multipliers, and fourteen symbols.

Regular spins: twelve symbols (logo, pagoda, Guan Yu, dragon, jade carving, warhorse, sword, A, K, J, Q, and 10) pay from X0.10 ($0.10) to X50 ($2500.00) for a three/four/five-of-a-kind.

Free spins: eleven symbols (logo, Guan Yu, dragon, jade carving, warhorse, sword, A, K, J, Q, and 10) pay from X0.10 ($0.10) to X2 ($100.00) for three/four/five combinations.

Landing 3+ pagodas prompt a ten-round free mode, where: 3+ pagodas offer +5 free rounds; reel-repopulating logos are drawn; and the second to fourth reels (3X3) consistently land a nine-of-a-kind (except pagodas).

Note: only 6+ regularly drawn knots offer the showed payouts/jackpots, except during the subsequently activated five-round Pan Chang free spins (and its potential “+1 free game), where the knots do pay out individually.

The initial 6+ knots, and those drawn henceforth (also credited/jackpot-specific) in the Pan Chang mode, are counted at top right. On reaching the “15” collection, it can also offer a randomized: $20.00/$100.00/$2000.00 mini/minor/major/jackpot; or, only after, the highly $30000.00 jackpot.

The Guan Yu software: HTML5 technology; history; desktop/mobile versions; and 10/25/50/75/100 auto games. Mutable sounds: oriental ambience; and whooshing, roaring dragon, drumming, chinking, retro, clanging, neighing, jingling, clicking, and plopping effects.

The animated 3D graphics: rearing horse, gushing coins, spinning wins, vibrating pagodas, swaying tassels, fireworks, glowing, nodding and gesturing dragon, parting logograms, flapping hand fans, and firestorm.
