Oriental themed online slots are extremely popular. Ancient China was ruled by dynastic kings with great wealth and pomp. And one of the sub themes has to do with the legendary emperors. This article looks at two such slots from Microgaming that are live at online casinos like All Slots, Golden Riviera and Spin Palace.

Huangdi – The Yellow Emperor online slot celebrates a historical character. Huangdi lived in the 26th century BC and ruled along the Yellow River. He achieved divine status during his lifetime. The emperor is the main symbol that can appear stacked on all reels. Other thematic symbols like sword, instrument and chest appear stacked only on reel 1. The game logo is the wild symbol and also awards the top line payouts. The dragon awards scatter payouts multiplied by the total bet. The highlight of this video slot is the Expanding Symbols feature. When any full symbol stack appears on reel 1, all matching symbols will expand on the other reels. The dragon symbols trigger 15 free spins. In this feature the wild symbol can appear stacked on reel 1. A full stack on reel 1 expands not only matching symbols on other reels, but expands wild symbols as well. The free spins feature can be retriggered in the usual manner. Huangdi is a 5x3 video slot with 25 fixed paylines. The top line payout is 250 times the line bet. Given the Expanding Symbols feature that can deliver multiple winning combinations in the same spin the line payouts are reasonable.

Emperor of the Sea relates to a fictional character. The reel structure is 5x4 and you can choose from 38, 68 and 88 paylines. The game logo is a stacked wild symbol, which also awards the highest line payouts. The other high paying symbols are sea dragon, pot of gold, turtle, koi fish and Chinese junks. Many of these start paying from combinations of two like symbols, which is an attraction for conservative slots players. The second set of symbols is thematic and includes pair of koi fish and Chinese junks. The low paying symbols are playing cards icons. The gold ingot awards scatter payouts multiplied by the total bet. The symbol also triggers the free spins feature. You will be awarded 8 free spins, but with some exciting and lucrative features. In the Rolling Reels feature the symbols in winning combinations disappear and replaced by new ones. If winning combinations are formed again then the process repeats. In the Growing Wilds feature the wild stacks grow by 1 wild per spin.
