You choose a bet, and each spin lands symbols on a 5x3 grid with a Chinese theme. The game has 25 fixed paylines. A line pays when at least two matching symbols land on adjacent reels, counted left to right from the leftmost reel. SCATTER symbols pay in any position on the screen.
You pick one of six folding fans to reveal a random number of free spins, then pick one of six objects for a random multiplier that applies to the total win of every free spin. Wild line wins gain an extra 2x during that feature, and each retrigger adds 10 spins at the current multiplier.
Two modes to know
Here is when the feature starts, which picks you make, and what a retrigger adds.
Pick one of 6 folding fans once 3+ SCATTER land. It reveals a random number of free spins. One of 6 objects sets a random multiplier. WILD line wins are multiplied by 2x. Each 3+ SCATTER adds 10 free spins at the current multiplier, with no stated retrigger limit.

Inside the feature
Playcroco shows these screens as the game displays them, so you can match them to the lobby.
Five stages in all
Read this before the first spin, while the bet and the feature rules are still yours to set.
Before the first spin you set a bet from A$0.25 up to A$25. The 25 paylines are fixed, so the bet amount alone sets what each spin stakes.
A win forms when symbols land on adjacent reels from the leftmost reel, and two matching symbols are enough to pay. Scatter symbols pay in any position on screen.
When a WILD substitutes in a winning line, that win is multiplied by 2x. A line without WILD pays its normal amount.
Three or more Scatter symbols anywhere on screen open the Free Spins Feature. Pick a folding fan for a random number of free spins, then an object for a random multiplier.
Decide your budget and stop point before the first spin. Each retrigger adds 10 free spins, so a feature can run longer than you planned.
Deciding to spin Peking Luck means accepting that how often the bonus round comes is not known in advance. Free Spins start on three or more SCATTER symbols anywhere on screen. The result of one session is random at any RTP, so a session can end with a loss even when it runs long.
Before you wager any money, open the game rules in the lobby and check which RTP version is running. Peking Luck is listed here with one RTP version only (96.50), and the game rules are where the live version is shown. The figure on this page does not change what your own session returns.
Choosing a bet changes the money ceiling, because the maximum win is a multiple of the stake and not a fixed amount. Peking Luck's maximum win is a ceiling that is reached very rarely, so no bet size makes it a result to count on. Plan each session around the bet you can lose, not around the top prize.

Common questions
You will know the bets, the free spins trigger, the volatility and the RTP before you spin.
Peking Luck accepts stakes from A$0.25 up to A$25 per spin. The tables on this page use A$0.40, A$0.50 and A$2 as examples, and those are not the limits.
Three or more SCATTER symbols anywhere on the screen start the Free Spins Feature. You then pick one of six folding fans, which reveals a random number of free spins, and then one of six objects, which sets a random multiplier for the whole feature.
Peking Luck has high volatility. Wins tend to be less frequent but larger when they land. How often the free spins feature will appear cannot be known before you play.
The maximum win is x180,000 the bet. At the highest bet of A$25 that comes to A$4,500,000, and at the example top bet of A$2 it is A$360,000. Whether a session reaches it cannot be known in advance.
Peking Luck runs at a single RTP of 96.50 percent, calculated on A$100 staked. That figure is a long-run average across very many spins, so it says nothing about the result of one session.
