How to play

Ready to meet the Emperor and enjoy a wealth of opportunities to win? Get started by making your bet and line selections. You can play between 1 line and all 25, and you can bet between $0.01 and $5 per line for a maximum bet of $125 per spin. Just use the up and down arrows next to the Bet and Lines buttons to make your choices. When you’re happy with your bet, click Spin to get the reels moving. When they come to a stop, you’ll win if you’ve managed to line up qualifying symbols. To see which symbols pay out the most cash, just click the Help button at any time from within the game.

Game Rules

Taking a trip to ancient China is easy with us. We’ll take care of transporting you there and showing you the right way to bow to the Emperor. While a lot of luck is going to float your way, we ask that you follow these rules on your quest for fortune:

• The Emperor symbol can substitute in for every other symbol in the game, except for the Lucky 8 symbol.
• Lucky 8 comes with a top award of 50,000x your bet.
• Any scatter wins are added to line wins and multiplied by your total bet.

Strategy

In this 25-payline game, you can play anywhere between one line and all 25. But just because you have the option to play fewer lines, it doesn’t mean you necessarily should. If you’ve got a limited budget to work with, consider lowering your bet amount per line instead of the number of lines. By lowering your lines, you risk lining up symbols on a payline that you didn’t play. And when that happens, you don’t win.

Tips

If you’re the type of casino player who prefers to play with the volume turned down or completely muted, you might want to turn up the volume for this one. Lucky 8 features a special Gong sound that leads to automatic prize multipliers. While you don’t technically need to hear the Gong sound to win the extra coin, if you’re using a betting strategy to modify your bet after a big win, the sound is important.

Histroy

In ancient Chinese culture, the number 8 is considered one of the luckiest numbers around. The Chinese word for “eight” (Pinyin) sounds almost identical to the word for prosper or wealth. How serious is the number 8? Several Asian airlines have number flights between Beijing and North America 888. And back in 2003, a telephone number featuring nothing but the number eight was sold for $280,000 to a company that wanted to represent luck. It’s not uncommon for those who believe in ancient Chinese luck to seek out houses that are numbered 8. Today, we’re excited to bring Lucky 8 to CoolCat Casino so everyone can feel the luck of the number 8.
