Win Sum Dim Sum from Microgaming: Slot Review - time for a take-away

This game is quite original considering it focuses entirely on a traditional Asian dish called Dim Sum. For those that are not familiar with Asian cuisine, Dim Sum is a dish of small bite-sized portions of food that is served on small plates and it is usually served with tea. These portions usually consist of dumplings, rice, chicken and pork.

It is nice to have a bit of background on a meal as it is the central theme of this game and it fits in nicely with the game’s title.

It is a 5 reel slot game with 9 paylines and comes with some interesting features that will have you feasting on some Dim Sum in no time!

Special Features

The first notable feature that I saw was the Wild Symbol and this replaces all symbols on the reels except the Scatter symbol. It is displayed as a Bamboo steamer and if you land this symbol on reel 3 then it will expand to give you a wild reel. However, Wild symbols will only expand if they are part of a winning combination so keep this in mind when playing.

The Scatter symbol as denoted by a Teapot and if you happen land 3 or more Scatters across the reels then you activate the Free Spins feature. The nice thing about this feature is that you awarded with 15 Free Spins but also that Free Spins can be retriggered. Very Tasty!

Another interesting feature of the Free Spins game is that the Wild Spins symbol can expand on reels 2, 3 and 4 unlike only reel 3 in the base game. This has the potential to set 3 reels fully wild in 1 free spin! A nice appetiser there indeed!

Theme, Graphics and Sound

The game is nicely polished and the use of black and red colours in the background really help to create a restaurant type environment for the game.

The symbols are superbly detailed and thee is a nice nod to Asian culture with the A, K, Q, J, 10 symbols containing dragons, fans and clappers.

The music is quite peaceful and very soothing with a distinctly Asian flavour. It felt really relaxing to spin the reels with this relaxing music playing in the background.

Win lines, Payouts and Jackpots

The game has 5 reels with 9 paylines, a nice RTP of 96%, and a superb maximum payout worth 3,333X your stake.

Below is a summary taken from the PayOut Table from the game. The amount won for each combination depends on the value of the bet when you spin the reels.
