Hotels In Hong Kong

In the Hong Kong Tower, all the ”old” that we recognize from Asian/Chinese culture is mixed with the hypermodern. As the title gossips about, a skyscraper is in the center but ELK Studios has also stuffed lotus flowers, yin yang symbols, bonsai trees and other symbols of a more classic nature. You play with features like mystery symbols and bonus wheels, and you can win up to over 3000 times the bet on one spin!

About Hong Kong Tower Castle

The typical image of Hong Kong is a vibrant, modern metropolis where the skyscrapers really scrape against the firmament. In the Hong Kong Tower, the regular silhouette of the city has been supplemented with three more skyscrapers and these make the other high-rise buildings look really shabby. The idea of the game is that by hitting bonus symbols you will manage to get to the top of any of the three skyscrapers to play on the bonus wheel.

ELK Studios are known for creating stunning graphics in their games, and Hong Kong Tower is no exception. This castle is truly a hit. An idea on the part of the developers has been to use the concept of the light shows that many of the skyscrapers can boast when night falls. At the top of several of the tallest buildings in the city are huge light cannons that emit rays playing in the sky. If you look at the symbols in the game, you will find several that are depicted in neon lights. Overall, the Hong Kong Tower is an explosion of light and colors.

Now, if ELK Studios has succeeded excellently with the design, they may have cheated a bit with the sound. For example, there is no actual background music in the base game. Instead, a hiss is heard that is well supposed to come from the streets of the city. It is only when you get to play on the bonus reels that there is a little more ”pressure” in the sound and you get to hear music in the background.

Stakes and winnings

ELK Studios is a very easy slot to play. You don't have to do more than choose your desired bet. Thus, there is no need to select coin values, bet levels and the like in individual order.

In Hong Kong Tower you will find 99 paylines across the five reels. You play on all of these with bets of between 2 – 1000$. Just like in just any other slot from the developer, you can also choose to activate various progressive betting features. If you do, the stakes are automatically adjusted to your previous results. This feature may well be said to be a little overkill.

Hong Kong Tower has a very high volatility. In other words, there is a big difference between the smallest possible and the largest possible profit. In addition, the hit rate will be relatively low. The volatility is set at 9 out of 10 on ELK studio's own scale and that's high! You hit a win of about every five spins and you can win over 3000 times the bet on a single spin!

The average payback over time at Hong Kong Tower is 96.30%. It is a figure that we may not be entirely satisfied with, but of course it is not entirely lousy.

Symbols

Neon lights and classic symbols from Asian culture make for a delicious mix of symbols. There are four high-win symbols and five low-win symbols on the reels. The high win symbols represent Golden 7s, diamonds, lotus flowers and bonsai trees. The low-profit symbols instead represent the five elements according to Chinese culture.

In addition, there are two bonus symbols and a mystery symbol. The bonus symbol, which is one that you should keep both one and two extra eyes on, is shaped like a classic yin yang symbol.

Functions

The Hong Kong Tower actually lacks some of the most typical special symbols and features. For example, there is no wild symbol on the reels! In addition, there is no free spins bonus to activate. As you can read more about below, however, this may play less of a role. There are several goodies to sink your teeth into!

Mystery symbol

Functions with mystery symbols are becoming more and more popular. Perhaps the best example is the Motörhead online Slot, where the mystery symbols really play the main role. Here in the Hong Kong Tower, the mystery symbols may not be as prominent and important for the game idea, but that they can provide fine effects is clear.

The symbol represents the logo of the game and it can appear both on individual positions and in stacks. When all the reels have stopped, the mystery symbols are transformed into a certain paying symbol. Then just keep your fingers crossed because the revealed symbols match the other symbols on the screen. However, if there is no possibility of winning, the mystery symbols are not revealed.

Wheels of the Sky

It is the bonus wheels that are the real strength of the Hong Kong Tower. To activate them, you also get at least three red yin yang symbols on the screen or a blue bonus symbol (which is activated via a mystery symbol.

If you get three red bonus symbols on the screen, you win access to the bonus game without extra lives. With four and five red symbols respectively, you win one and two extra lives respectively. If it is the blue symbol that activates the bonus round, you will receive two extra lives automatically.

There are three bonus wheels. You always get to start betting on the ”worst” of the three, but there is also a progression to take advantage of. On "Wheel 1” and" wheel 2 " there are fields that give you access to the next wheel in the order.

A nice feature of the bonus wheels is that you are guaranteed at least two wins. You win on every spin. However, every win means that the current field is, so to speak, taken out of play. With luck out of the ordinary, you manage to dodge your already hit win Fields and manage to make clean house on one wheel.

It is when an already hit Win field reappears, and you have no extra lives, that the bonus game ends.

Summary

ELK Studios has created Hong Kong Tower for those who like to take a little more risk when playing slots online. Here, almost all the focus is on the bonus wheels and the huge winnings that they can bring. Of course, the game also gets a little more ”balance” via the fact that the symbols pay quite well overall and that you have 99 payways to hit, but this is not a title for those who do not want to see such large fluctuations in your game box.

In terms of gameplay, Hong Kong Tower is a masterpiece and you really can't complain about the graphics. However, we would have liked to see a little more action in terms of sound and music in the base game.
