As Money Gong Emperor welcomes you in, you’ll see the golden money gong on the left, and five jackpots above the reels. Click the stacked coin icon to select a bet, then tap the spin symbol to launch the reels.
The 10, jack, queen, king, and ace are all low-value symbols that pay for matching combinations of three to five. The lamp and drums work as mid-value symbols, while the higher payers are the tree, lion and emperor, all of which pay out if you match between two and five.
You’ll also see a red wild, gold coins, a money gong bonus symbol, jade scatters and a bonus spins symbol.
This table shows what you could win for matching symbols with a bet of £0.80 in the base game.

To trigger this round, you’ll need to land at least six jade scatters on the reels or ignite every firecracker. If you don’t land enough coins, the gong may add a triggering coin. This sequence starts with three free spins.
While you play, any coins or scatters that launched the feature are locked in place for the entire round. Every jade scatter is given either a cash prize, a jackpot or a money gong bonus upgrade. If one of these appears on the reels after a spin, the reel is locked, and the spin counter is reset to three.
As you spin, the gong can randomly add a money boost symbol or deliver one of three modifiers to enhance your wins.
If you lock every reel in place, the grand prize is awarded and the round ends. Otherwise, landing enough of an individual jackpot symbol can award that prize. There are five fixed jackpot prizes to win during this round; their values are connected to your bet. For a bet of £0.80, the potential wins are:
The round also ends if you run out of free spins. At that point, your wins are added to your balance.
If a money gong bonus coin lands during the Hold & Win phase, you’ll play the money gong bonus next.
This feature is triggered after the Hold & Win round, but it’s a separate phase. It begins with eight new reels appearing to replace the standard grid. You’ll be awarded three free spins, and only gold coins or jackpot symbols can land.
Coins are locked into position and award three more spins, as well as delivering their cash value. A higher value money gong prize is available if you manage to fill and lock all eight reels. Its value depends on your bet and is displayed in the money gong prize box.
The round ends as your wins are collected into a single gold coin, then placed on the grid to boost your final payout.
To activate this round, you’ll need to land three bonus spin symbols on reels two, three and four in any position. This awards you either six, twelve or eighteen bonus spins. As you play, the gong can place up to nine wilds on the reels.
