According to the myth, Shennong had a translucent body, which allowed him to test and see the impact of the weeds and foliage on himself. In addition, he is often referred to as the God of the Fields and Ancestor of Farming, for inventing the wooden plough and schooling the Chinese farmers in the ‘slash-and-burn’ type of cultivation.
Decent visuals should be anticipated here, yet not impressive enough to compete with all contemporary cutting-edge new titles from other producers). As for the audio presentation – the Studio delivers again a messy cacophony of overlay sounds – a not specifically pleasant trait that further worsens the slot’s overall rating.
The Shen Nong slot offers a common (for a multiway-game) grid of 6×4, but an exceptionally wide betting range between 20 cents and 300 CAD. The paytable of the video slot includes 12 paying symbols and corresponds perfectly to the historical Chinese theme. It consists of a farmer image and his wife, livestock and farming tools, crops and plants. It also shows typical values for so many winways.
The first group of icons pay from 12x to 2.40x for 6OAK on adjacent reels (and the 2 premiums also carry provisions for 2OAK). The second group (the cards) pays from 2x to 1.2x the total bet for 6OAK on adjacent reels. And the Scatter, although is the only symbol that doesn’t appear Stacked, it yields 100x the bet for 6OAK.
Other technical properties of the glorifying Shen Nong slot are the Medium Volatility, sufficient RTP of 96.05%, 31% of hit frequency, and 4096 pay system (all 2+ for certain symbols or 3+ for all regular symbols on adjacent reels, starting from reel 1 bring payout). Additional to Stacked symbols (in both: base and Bonus spins), the producer had equipped the machine with the possibility for up to 50 initial Free Spins and up to x5 random Wild Multipliers.
We cannot be absolutely sure of the mentioned stats (once again KA Gaming hides the technical matters from the general public), but according to our calculations, the maximum prospect of this agriculture game is the whopping (for a game of such variance) 8000x the total bet.
The slot purveys plain and unvarnished spinning (i.e. straightforward action), which can be a reason for resentment by the thrill-seekers, and a reason for appreciation by the players looking for a game with good metrics (proportional level of risk and hit success) and great outlook.
In final words, there is nothing fresh about the Shen Nong slot. The historical/mythological theme is interesting, but in all other aspects, this is just the next ‘run-of-the-mill’ easily forgettable online slot. We leave neutral recommendations, as the game fails to keep us interested and excited for a long session. Check out the game in the DEMO variant on our page, or if you decide to play with real credits – register at one of our partners’ casinos.

Besides, a payout between 2 CAD and 100 CAD will be shelled out for 3+Scatters. During the Bonus FS, combos with Wilds in them get random Multipliers (x3 or x5).
