Xi You Ji Slot Review

How to play

You don’t need to be a master of the ancient arts in order to play Xi You Ji. Pariplay has kept the gameplay here very simple. Players simply need to select their stake using the +/- at the bottom of the screen and then hit the spin button. The minimum that can be wagered on a spin is €0.25, while the maximum is a generous €200, which is great if you’re the kind of player who likes to play with higher stakes. 

The set-up for the slot is the standard 5x3, with there being a total of 25 fixed paylines, each of which pays for combinations of three or more. The slot also features an autospin option where players can get the game to take up to 100 spins for them. 

Symbols and payouts

Xi You Ji pays out multiples of your line bet, not your overall stake. For example, if you are staking €200, then per line, this equates to €8 per line. If you land three queens, this pays out at 10 coins, so you will pick up €80. 

The highest paying symbol is the blue fan, which will pay out at 500x your line bet for a combo of five and 75x for three symbols. There is then a monkey warrior, a prince, a blue warrior, and a pig, these pay out at 250, 200,150, and 100x your line bet respectively. A Princess rounds out the character symbols paying out 75x your line bet. 

As is standard, the royal symbols here make up the lower payouts. The ace, king, and queen all pay out 50x your line bet for combinations of five and 10x for three. Finally there is the jack and the number 10 - both of which pay out 30x your line bet for five and the lowest you can make in the game is 5x for combos of three. 

Best Xi You Ji bonus feature

All of the Xi You Ji bonus features are unlocked in the same way - by filling up the candles to the left-hand side of the reels. Whenever you manage to score a win in the game, part of the lantern will fill up. Each time you fill one of the lanterns, you will be rewarded with a bonus feature. 

These features consist of a sticky wilds round, a Xi You Ji free spins round, and an instant multiplier of up to 12x your total stake. The bonus will be rewarded at random when you fill the lantern. Once you have filled all five lanterns, you will be given the chance to spin the jackpot wheel. There are five fixed jackpots available - mini, minor, major, maxi, and grand. The smallest amount you can is 50x your stake with the minor, while the highest is 1,000x your stake with the grand. 

There is one other feature in the game called the Sacred Journey which is not triggered through the lantern bonus. This is launched when you land three of the scroll scatter symbols. This will take you to a grid that you must navigate to win prizes and secure multipliers. Once again, the maximum that can be won from this is 1,000x your stake. 

RTP & volatility
