Festival 10K Ways Slot Review

Festival 10K Ways Slot RTP, Details and Wager Limits

The Festival 10K Ways slot is played on 6 reels and has 10,000 ways to win. You’ll see a 4x5x5x5x5x4 row height configuration, and all wins start with the leftmost reel and pay from left to right on adjacent reels.

Spin away from just 20p up to £12 per bet. This is lower than usual for ReelPlay slots but will cater to most pockets. Hit the menu icon and then the coins icon to change your total stake. It’s a shame it’s not just 1 click away, to be honest, but that’s just how it is. You will have 12 predefined bet values to pick from.

Up to 1,000 autospins are also possible in most territories outside the UK. Unlike other top online slots, you won’t be able to set any limits with the autospins.

The Festival 10K Ways RTP is 96.2%, which is very healthy and well above the industry average. Medium to high variance, the game comes with a hit frequency of 26.2%. This means that just over a quarter of all spins on average will result in a winning combination.

The maximum win is 12,309.25 x your stake, which is almost identical to Shamrock Money Pot 10K Ways. In fact, take away the theme and you’ve got 2 slots that are the same. The volatility here isn’t as high though, so you could argue that this one offers better opportunities for bigger wins.

Theme – embrace the Asian culture

The theme in the Festival 10K Ways slot game is all about east Asian cultures and the fact they use the character Fu in various forms of lucky charms and decorations. Fu is the Wild Lion in this slot. The reels are set high up in the countryside with temples on either side of the reels.

I can’t tell if the reels are set inside a temple or an ornament, to be honest. Either way, they look great and the purple background makes the symbols stand out.

In terms of audio, it’s typically Asian with traditional instruments being played as you spin the reels. The symbols explode into fireworks when a winning combination lands too, which is a nice celebratory touch as fireworks are a big thing in Asian culture. Land the Bonus Respins feature and the reels turn red, with the background switching to night and the audio intensifying.

The A-9 Royals dominate the reels as the lower-paying symbols. The higher-[aying ones include lanterns, drums, cymbals and lucky money fortune envelopes. The money fortune envelope symbol pays the most, awarding 2, 5, 10 30 or 100 x your stake for 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 in combination.

The game’s wild, as mentioned, is Fu, which is a Chinese guardian lion. It substitutes for all symbols except Scatters and will appear on the top reel only. Here’s a rundown of the symbols you’ll come across in the game:

9	3, 4, 5 or 6 = 0.1, 0.2, 0.4, 0.5 x stake

Festival 10K Ways Review Summary – 10,000 reasons to play

Overall, the Festival 10K Ways slot felt a bit samey to me having played numerous other 10K Ways titles from the ReelPlay collection. Still, if you’re a fan of Asian-themed slots, you’ll enjoy this one for a while. I say only a while as there’s just 1 Bonus Respins feature, so it’s hard to stick around for a prolonged period of time. I would have liked to see more features added here.

The above-average RTP rate is a good sign. So too is the medium to high volatility in comparison to a lot of others that sit in the high or very high category. It doesn’t blow me away, but the authentic soundtrack along with the 5 fixed jackpots should keep you interested.

Why not give our free demo a try to see if you like it? It’s a great way to try the slot before deciding if you want to use your own funds on it.
