The low-value icons are Korean books, gold vessels, temples, boats, maps and decorations.
The images on the grid and around it are detailed and precise. The reels are light orange to brown and there are frames in red and stylishly ornamented. The background reveals a magnificent view of green hills and mountains. There is a Korean temple to the right of the grid. The game menu is on the bottom of the screen and its logo is at the top centre of the reels.
The pay-table includes opened books, pagodas, small ships, lamps and Korean hieroglyphs. There are also kings, queens and warriors as the main characters and the premiums symbols. The special symbols are the wild and scatter.
The wild substitutes for all regular paying symbols and appears on reel 2, 3, 4 and 5 only. This is the symbol of a stone carved creature with the word ‘WILD’ itself. The scatter is the second symbols with a significant role. This is the gold pendant with the horses. It can land on all reels and triggers the free games.
To get wins, you need 3 to 6 identical symbols landed on adjacent reels from left to right. Since Ancients of Korea has 6 reels and 4 rows, you will relish in 4096 ways to win active at all times.
To trigger the free spins you need to hit 3 to 6 scatters in a spin. Getting 3, 4, 5 or 6 scatters in a spin in the base game gives you 8, 15, 20 or 50 free spins respectively. During them, the wild symbols gain an x2 or an x3 multiplier and land as wild multipliers. They increase the wins of the combinations they take part in by 2 or 3 times. You can even win an x6, x9 and higher boost when more than one wild multiplier contributes to the same line.
Additionally, the top-paying symbols and the wilds can combine when they land on the same spin. They form combinations as scatters that don’t need to be on consecutive reels from left to right to ensure wins. These pay in any position. To retrigger more free spins and add them to the tally, land 2 to 6 scatters in a free spin. If you do, you will win 5 to 50 extra free rounds respectively.
