Slot Summary

Yuan Bao fills the space between a conventional payline slot and a hold-style collection game without abandoning its compact Asia theme. CQ9 Gaming reduces the symbol language to gold ingots and blank spaces, then turns the ingots into numbered values. The base game adds values across winning lines, while free spins change the task into filling positions and keeping landed ingots in view.

How It Plays

Each paid spin uses five reels and eight paylines, but the reel spaces may remain blank. Landing three ingots on a line creates the basic winning combination.

The ingot numbers are added rather than matched by denomination. This makes the total shown across a completed line more important than finding three identical symbols.

Theme & Atmosphere

The Asia setting centers on yuan bao, the boat-shaped gold ingots historically associated with wealth. That single object gives the game a clear visual and cultural subject.

Instead of filling the reels with many themed characters, CQ9 Gaming repeats the ingot in several numbered forms. The restrained presentation keeps attention on value and accumulation.

Asia

Features & Win Potential

Multiplier values are printed directly on the ingots, with base-game values extending from 1 to 100. A completed payline combines those visible figures before applying the bet level.

Free Spins alter the behavior of landed symbols. Free Games ingots stay fixed, ordinary ingots award their values individually, and newly arriving symbols occupy more of the grid.

Free Spins Multiplier Medium volatility 5 Reels RTP range

Bonus & Free Spins

Three or more Free Games ingots trigger the feature and initially award three free spins. Any additional Free Games symbol adds another spin, up to 15 in total.

The retained symbols make the round a filling exercise. Completing all 15 positions with ingots awards the separate Bonus Amount described by the game's rules.

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 (95.99%), 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.
