It’s true to say that Playtech has brought forth a number of online slot games which focus themselves on China. And adding itself into the collection is Feng Kuang Ma Jiang. Now, Ma Jiang is actually the tile game that Chinese people play, also known as Mah Jong. The game itself originated in China during the Qing dynasty and it commonly has four players. There are 144 tiles in the game, which base themselves on Chinese characters and symbols. It is these tiles that form the central basis of the icons upon the reels of this Playtech slot. And what better way to incorporate the theme even more, than to have it take place in China. Yes, that’s right, you’ll be travelling to the country that is full of culture. And while you’re there, you’ll get to witness wonderful things. So, if you’re ready to find out more about Feng Kuang Ma Jiang, read on through this review!

While the game contains some icons relating to the Mah Jong game, it still maintains a common layout for video slots. This sees you spin through five reels and three rows altogether. Further to this, you will get to see a total of 25 win lines are available to bet on. You don’t have the option of customising these, so your bets will always be on this many pay lines. However, speaking of your bet, you can adjust this by using the relevant plus and minus buttons. With them, you can alter your wager between $0.01 and $100 per pay line. So, therefore, a maximum overall wager amount of $2,500 per spin is possible for all players. Furthermore, you can take advantage of an ‘Autoplay’ function to set the reels off spinning several consecutive times at the same wager level.

As far as the graphics that this game entails go, you’ll find some visual treats for sure. Playtech is very well-known for the high quality of imagery that its games incorporate. The background of the slot will provide imagery of Chinese mountains and hills. Then, you’ll get to see a variety of different icons upon its reels. As we said before, these all come in the shape of Mah Jong tiles, with each one having different images on them. The first two are present in the form of a tile with a playing card on it and one with a sword-like image. Then comes the falling leaves tile and another of a sunset. You’ll also see a tile with a growing flower on it, which can multiply your bet by 90 times as a pay out. A snowflake also appears on one of the tiles. The final four are all of Chinese symbols for letters, with the n, w, s and e all being present. The last one of these can provide a maximum reward of 5,000 times your in-play bet.

It wouldn’t be a Playtech game without there being some kind of speciality features on the reels. Therefore, you can expect to see some interesting additions to Feng Kuang Ma Jiang. First of all, there’s the inclusion of an icon of a pair of dice. This is the slot’s scatter symbol. Whenever this shows up anywhere on reels one, three and five, you will be the recipient of 15 freespins. During this round, there’s also the addition of collapsing reel multipliers. Every freespin begins with a multiplier of times one. If the collapsing reels feature triggers, the multiplier increases by one. This continues with every subsequent collapse, up to a maximum level of times five. You don’t have the ability to re-trigger the freespins round though.

The only other addition to this slot game is the actual collapsing reels themselves. These are active while base gameplay mode is occurring. Any win that you form will set this feature off. Once all wins are counted, any symbol participating in a win will disappear from the reels. This will, of course, leave a set of empty spaces allowing new symbols to fall. These symbols may then create new wins, and the process will occur once more. This continues happening until you aren’t able to form any more wins from the new symbols showing up.

One of the most important pieces of advice I give beginners is that they should, as much as possible, learn by doing. This can be difficult when you only know a few words, but there are lots of things in your life you can convert to Chinese after just one week of studying. The most obvious example is counting. Don’t just study the numbers and learn them for the exam, count in Chinese whenever you get the chance. Use 三 (san) eggs for your pancakes, do 十二 (shíèr) pushups, count 三十六 (sānshíliù) steps up to your apartment.

Once you have the basic numbers, down, you’re ready to play 麻将/將 (májiàng) or Mahjong as it’s often spelt in English, a game which is extremely popular in most Chinese speaking societies and beyond. It’s also fun and teaches you a bit about Chinese culture at the same time,Knowing how to play the game will also be much appreciated by native speakers. Although you can play for money, the games works equally well without doing so.

Apart from the numbers 1-9, you only need a handful of words and most of them are useful outside the game as well. I have played in Chinese with people who don’t even study Chinese, so it’s definitely doable. From a language point of view, playing mostly consists of naming the tiles you play and, sometimes calling an action based on what someone else just played. Naturally, Chinese people tend to talk a lot while playing the game, but most of this isn’t related to the game or isn’t strictly necessary.

The rules of the game

I’m not going to give a detailed description of how the game is played, but if you think of it as a card game (which it originally was), it becomes much easier. The game is played by drawing one new tile each round, then discarding one. Gradually, you upgrade the tiles you have on your hand until all tiles are part of different sets of three or four. The first person to combine all his or her tiles in this way wins.

I’m not going to go into scoring here, because there are so many different variants that it would make little sense. I have played the game many times with different native speakers, and even though the basic premise of the game stays mostly the same, the scoring system can be completely different. If you care about games in general (I do), this is frustrating, because changing the scoring system obviously changes the way the game ought to be played.

Playing the game with Chinese people

I’ve played a fair amount 麻将/ games in Chinese and the only drawback is that if you’re not already quite good at the game, it’s hard to chat and play at the same time. Some people also play ridiculously fast, so if you’re new to the game, you might need to ask them to slow down. If you want to familiarise yourself with the game on your own, there are plenty of computer programs and smart phone apps out there. If you have any specific recommendations for good apps, please leave a comment!
