Jin Qian Wa (NTC33): choosing your lines and chasing the gold plaques

Jin Qian Wa is an NTC33 slot with a lucky-money theme, and the first decision it asks of you is how much of the board to cover. There are 40 paylines and you are free to switch on all of them or only a handful.

Setting your bet in Jin Qian Wa

Your stake per spin is your line bet times the number of lines you have active. Fewer lines means a cheaper spin, but also fewer ways for a combination to count. Playing all 40 costs more per spin while giving every symbol a fair shot at landing on a live line.

A sensible approach is to keep all 40 lines on and drop the line bet instead, so the spin price stays within budget without leaving gaps on the reels.

The Chinese-character scatter

Watch for the Chinese character. It is the scatter, and it only shows up on reels 2, 3 and 4. Because those are the only reels it can use, three scatters means one on each middle reel, which is the minimum needed to trigger the feature.

Free spins and the gold plaques

Three or more scatters start the bonus with 8 free spins. During the round, extra gold plaques appear on the screen, adding more chances to land a win than you get in the base game. The old notes don't say exactly how the plaques pay, so check the in-game help screen before you play if you want the precise rules.
