Slot Summary

A five-reel grid that sends every Free Spins win to a multiplier roulette gives Shou-Xin a clear two-stage rhythm. CQ9 Gaming uses 25 fixed paylines for the base game, then lets three central-reel Scatters open a choice among three Free Spins modes. The 96.14% RTP and medium volatility frame a conventional line slot, while the selectable bonus and nondecreasing multiplier wheel supply its distinctive decisions.

How It Plays

The five-reel base game evaluates matching symbols across 25 fixed paylines. A character Wild can replace standard paying symbols, while the temple Scatter follows separate triggering rules.

Three Scatters must appear on the central three reels to move play into Free Spins. The player then chooses among three modes before the bonus rounds begin.

Theme & Atmosphere

Shou-Xin draws on Asian mythology through a longevity figure accompanied by animals and traditional natural symbols. The subject gives the character Wild a role beyond simple substitution.

Forest scenery and deer imagery support the Animals, Asia, Forest, Lucky, and Mythology themes. The emphasis stays on longevity and good-fortune symbolism rather than combat or conquest.

Mythology Forest Animals Asia Lucky

Bonus & Free Spins

Three Scatter Symbols on the middle reels trigger Free Spins and present three mode choices. The selection determines the starting conditions before the awarded spins commence.

Each winning combination during Free Spins activates multiplier roulette. The next multiplier is equal to or higher than the previous result, so later feature wins cannot receive a lower wheel value.

How this works

Each simulated spin either misses or returns a win drawn from a log-normal distribution, with the hit rate and spread set by the slot's volatility tier (Medium). The model is calibrated so the average return equals this slot's published RTP (96.14%), with wins capped at its top multiplier (1,000×).

This is a simplified, parametric model of the game's math — not its real paytable. It exists to make the house edge visible over many sessions, so the numbers above are averages across thousands of runs, never a forecast of one.

This is math, not a prediction. Real sessions vary wildly, and no strategy changes a game's built-in house edge. Play for fun, set limits, and never bet more than you can afford to lose.
