Golden Lotus: a 20-line slot with expanding wild reels

Golden Lotus on SKY777 takes its name and characters from a classic Ming-dynasty Chinese novel. The novel is famous for its adult content, and so is some of this game's art. We show only the reel screens here and describe the rules in plain terms.

The reels sit inside a small stage: red theatre curtains tied back on both sides, a blue-tiled pagoda roof above and a moonlit garden behind.

Symbols and lines

The screen uses five reels, three rows and 20 lines, with a "20 LINES" badge on the left. The symbols in our reel captures are an open book, a small golden figurine, a gold seal on a red cushion, a round green token with a Chinese character, and card letters from 9 to A in gold, green and purple.

The bottom bar is the standard SKY777 one. At 20 lines, bet 1 and denomination 0.01 the TOTAL BET reads 0.20.

The slide-out menu holds TURBO, DENOMINATION, LINE and BET. Lines can be reduced; the capture below was taken at one line.

At one line and 0.01, a single-line win of 0.30 appears in the WIN box, with the message "Line no.1 Win: 0.30" above it.

The wild and the free games

From the game's rules pages, which we have read but not published:

• The wild appears on reels 2 and 4 only and substitutes for all symbols.
• When the wild lands on reels 2 and 4, it wins 5 free games and expands to fill both reels.
• During the free games, reels 2 and 4 stay fully wild, and reels 1, 3 and 5 are respun.
• The expanded wild reels count only once towards scatter pays.
• Free games are played at the lines and bet of the triggering spin, and their wins are added to the line and scatter wins.

Two full wild reels make big line wins possible in the feature. In the base game, landing the wild on both reels at once is uncommon, so expect long stretches of small wins.

What we could not confirm

No jackpot counter appears in our screenshots, and no return figure. The old version of this page mentioned 25 lines, 8 free games and a dollar jackpot; none of that matches the screens.

For a slot on a similar frame with a gentler theme, try Golden Chicken or Fun Paradise. The SKY777 overview covers the app, and the SKY777 games hub lists every game.

If you still want to play, get a SKY777 game ID and keep to the 0.20 minimum.
