One of the most famous Chinese celebrations, dedicated to the harmonious co-existence between humans and nature, is the Hua Zhao. A traditional long-running feast practiced on different days per province, but sometime between February and March (during the spring months) with people dressed in Han Fu (ancestral clothing for Han people), with dances, parades, presenting flowers and fruits to the Goddess, who evokes calm and prosperous life and good luck all year round.
The video slot comes with 100 paylines, which generate payouts on a 5×4 blossom field decorated with red flowers. Low- Medium Variance and maximum win capability of 540x the total bet in a single spin (achievable by a full screen of any of the Flower Goddesses during the Bonus with the Multiplier x3).
Other important technical attributes of the slot are the RTP of 95.55% and the large betting scope – up to 100 CAD. In contrast to other titles from the Taiwanese Studio, the minimum stake here is 1 CAD (i.e. the low-rollers will be immediately deterred to play here). The hit rate is very high as usual for a KA Gaming creation (over 40%), but the rest of the characteristics are far from good, making any attempt for balance increase here a lost cause.
Downsides of the game:
- No technical details are shared publicly and everyone (including our team) is forced to make their own assumptions (right or wrong). We have tested the game multiple times in different casinos (with free and real credits), but we certainly cannot say that our facts are based on several million spins (which of course gives a better picture of the performance of each slot).
- Insufficient RTP (even though theoretically, this index should bring the logical calm and motivation of a fair game).
- The paytable is almost worthless. The highest value symbols – the gorgeous ladies pay 1.8x for 5OAK, and 4 other (low-value) symbols pay below the stake for 5OAK combos! Just outrageous! This obviously affects the next disadvantage (below).
- Unsatisfactory maximum outlook – even for such volatility (with reduced risk) the game is not close to getting interesting, while in this day and age everyone in the industry is striving for bigger and better. We are missing out on some extra incentives like a special prize (or Multiplier) if all 4 different ladies come full size together with Wilds during 1 spin to deliver a higher payoff (for example), after all, it is all about the flower ladies!
All things considered, we believe that the Flower Goddess Festival slot is not a proper game for bonus money wagering (too high minimum bet), nor for playing with real credits (the 4 disadvantages explained above). You may be lucky enough to activate the bonus round within your first 100 spins, but in most cases that will not happen, and even if you did, the results of the FS will be disappointing 9 times out of 10.

Bonus Features of Flower Goddess Festival slot
- Wilds – The game logo (in a green framed tile) is the Wild element in this bouquet. It brings no value of its own but supersedes for missing symbols (except Scatters) attempting to create winning combinations.
- Scatters & Free Spins –The Goddesses’ temple is the Scatter. Cannot come stacked and although has the highest values per combo cannot contribute to the slot’s maximum prospect. Regardless, it provides 8x/5x/3x for combos of 5/4/3 temples anywhere on the reels. Landing such Scatters formations during 1 base spin will activate respectively 8/12/20 free rounds. Each win in the Bonus is endowed with Multiplier x3.
