Lines, coins and the total stake
The rules allow 1 to 20 active paylines. Ordinary line awards multiply the credits staked per line; palace scatters multiply the total credits staked. Only the highest award on each selected line pays, while wins on different selected lines and scatter awards are added. Ordinary symbols pay left to right; scatters pay anywhere.
The pictured controls show 20 lines and 20 coins per line, making a 400-coin bet. At the displayed denomination of 0.50, that is 200 cash units. The screen’s 400 figure is the coin stake, not 400 cash units. These controls show a historical configuration, not universal current limits.
Verified symbol awards
Ordinary rows multiply the line stake; the last row multiplies the total spin stake. Symbols grouped together have equal awards but must still match within a combination.
| Symbol | Two | Three | Four | Five |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 9 or 10 | — | 5 | 20 | 100 |
| J or Q | — | 10 | 25 | 150 |
| K or A | — | 15 | 50 | 250 |
| Ring or flower | — | 20 | 150 | 500 |
| Boat | 3 | 25 | 200 | 1,000 |
| Elephant | 5 | 60 | 700 | 5,000 |
| Palace scatter: total-stake multiplier | 2 | 5 | 15 | 100 |
The lady wild appears only on reels 2, 3 and 4. It substitutes for every ordinary symbol but cannot replace a palace scatter. The screen does not list a separate five-wild award.
Payout examples with consistent units
Consider a 20-line spin at one coin per line and a denomination of 0.01: the total stake is 0.20 units. Five elephants on one line return 5,000 × 0.01 = 50 units gross, or 49.80 units net if no other awards occur. That single-line payment is 250 times the total stake, not 5,000 times it.
Three palace scatters at the same settings return 5 × 0.20 = 1.00 unit and trigger free spins. The scatter payment alone is 0.80 units above the triggering stake. Two palaces pay 0.40 units but do not trigger the free-spin feature.
Fifteen free spins at triple prizes
Three or more palaces trigger 15 free spins during which all prizes are tripled. The feature can be retriggered, and the lines and bet remain those of the triggering game. Free-spin wins are added to the paid spin’s line and scatter awards.
For example, five matching nines at the 0.01 line stake ordinarily pay 1.00 unit. During the free-spin feature that line pays 3.00 units. There is no new paid stake for that free spin; do not deduct another 0.20 units from each free-spin result.
Three rounds of lucky-cat selections
The separate Lady of the Orient feature starts when lady symbols appear on reels 2, 3 and 4 in the same spin. They do not have to form a payline. Three rounds are awarded. The rules instruct players to match three lucky cats of the same colour to win the displayed prize, and all prizes scale with the triggering bet. This feature can also occur during free spins.
The directory prose calls the revealed figures Buddhas, but both the game instructions and the captured selection round identify them as lucky cats. The pictured second round announces a 10,000-coin prize, while the bottom win field reads 13,700. These are different displays and should not be treated as the same award. At the shown 0.50 denomination, the announced 10,000 coins convert to 5,000 cash units; it is not evidence of a 10,000-unit cash prize or a fixed maximum.
Frequently asked questions
Can a lady wild land on reel 1 or 5?
No. The pictured rules restrict it to reels 2, 3 and 4.
Do two palaces award free spins?
No. Two pay twice the total stake. Three or more are needed for the fifteen-spin feature.
Can free spins be retriggered?
Yes. The original rules explicitly allow retriggers and retain the triggering bet and lines.
Is the door-selection game a Buddha bonus?
The game calls it a lucky-cat feature. Match three cats of the same colour during each of the three awarded rounds.
Does the 400 bet display mean a 400-unit cash wager?
Not in the captured configuration. It is 400 coins at 0.50 each, equivalent to 200 cash units.
Is an exact RTP verified?
The directory lists 95.19%, but no RTP is visible in these original game screens. That listing does not verify every edition or current configuration.
