Shou Hu Shen Slot 

Another highly refined, Asian-themed addition to AGS’ portfolio, the Shou Hu Shen slot was first added to this developer’s catalogue in March 2022. Focusing on the Far Eastern traditions and culture, the gold, red, and green visuals create a striking aesthetic that separates this release from many other online casino slots in the same genre. The unique nature of the Shou Hu Shen slot is elevated even further thanks to the variety of bonuses it also comes with, featuring pick ‘em rounds, a collection of jackpots, and multiple free spin rounds that could see the playgrid change.

Despite the layout of the playgrid having the potential to alter in the bonus round, base gameplay unfolds across 5 reels and 3 rows in the Shou Hu Shen slot. Across the deep red columns that are surrounded by a thin golden frame are 243 paylines, all of which work from left to right. Directly above the playgrid is the golden Shou Hu Shen logo in cursive writing, next to the Mini, Minor, Major, and Grand prize boxes, details making this one of the online jackpot slots from AGS.

Sitting to the left-hand side of the playtable are two gold dragon statues, guarding a giant red door. This has strings of golden firecrackers hanging from its front, with their shiny design contrasting with the rest of the green backdrop. A temple can be seen across the playscreen here; however, due to the unique colour palette, the overall aesthetic in this Shou Hu Shen slot differs from other traditional Asian-style titles such as 88 Fortunes and 5 Lions Megaways.

Just like another Asian-themed release within AGS’ catalogue, Golden Wins, the lower-valued portion of the paytable in this Shou Hu Shen slot is made up of the classic card royals. To assert the Far Eastern aesthetic even further, though, the higher-valued symbols are made up of various golden animal statues and other shining items often involved in ceremonies.

Lower Value Symbols:

Jack (J)

Queen (Q)

King (K)

Ace (A)

Medium Value Symbols:

Golden Dragon Head

Golden Gong

Golden Bonsai Tree

Higher Value Symbols:

Golden Bat

Left Facing Golden Dragon

Right Facing Golden Dragon

Golden Asian Writing

To keep the bonuses in the Shou Hu Shen slot as straightforward as possible, there are just 2 additional symbols that AGS have added. These include the golden firecracker wilds and the golden coin scatters, the latter of which has the potential to trigger some unique free spin rounds.

Starting with the golden coin scatters, landing between 3 and 5 of these at the same time could present players with a pick between 3 separate free spin features. Each of these has its own free spin total and playgrid size in which bonus gameplay takes place, with the different options in this Shou Hu Shen slot being as follows:

15 free spins that take place across a 5x3 playgrid with 243 paylines.

10 free spins that take place across a 5x4 playgrid with 1024 paylines.

5 free spins that take place across a 5x5 playgrid with 3125 paylines.

The golden firecrackers in the Shou Hu Shen slot are wild, meaning they could substitute for all cards and golden Asian symbols that make up the base game paytable. However, it is worth noting that these symbols are only able to land across reels 2, 3, and 4.

Any of these golden wilds that may land across the central reels are also collected by the string of golden firecrackers to the left of the playgrid. At random, this might set off the firecrackers attached to the door before triggering the ‘Jackpot Pick’ bonus, similar to Bonanza Blast, also from AGS. This presents a separate purple playscreen filled with 12 individual golden coins. Selecting these can unveil lanterns, golden bowls, blue dragons, or red dragons. These correspond to the Mini, Minor, Major, and Grand jackpots, respectively, and whichever is revealed 3 times first could trigger the related prize.

The same as other UK online casino games within AGS’ library, the Shou Hu Shen slot is fully optimised for desktops, laptops, tablets, and smartphones. Achieved through their use of HTML5 technology, this adaptive software keeps the Asian-style graphics and the diverse range of bonuses the same across all screen sizes, without having to lose any of the quality.

By adding a collection of inventive bonuses that add multiple layers to the gameplay and imagery more intertwined with classical Asian culture, the Shou Hu Shen slot is both distinctive and impressive thanks to this blend.

Far Eastern-style visuals are also found in Rings of Prosperity and Asian Fusion, if you like the appearance of this Shou Hu Shen slot.
