Play Legend of the White Snake Lady Slot Machine & Review

Legend of the White Snake Lady takes you on a journey back in time and across the ocean to the lands of Ancient China. There we have a chance to see firsthand the life and ordeals of the White Snake Lady and how she battles bravely with all challenges before her.

This legend is very famous in Chinese folklore and has been an inspiration for many movies, operas and now video slot games. It’s actually a true love story with added fantasy elements from the rich folklore, which have been polished over the years, as it was told from generation to generation.

In short the White Snake Lady was indeed a white snake living in a lake. One day a young man was at the lake bridge, where after a battle and a strange set of circumstances, the White Snake swallows immortality pills that are dropped by the young man.

Sometime after that the White Snake, now transformed to a beautiful girl meets the young man once again and they fall in love, eventually getting married.

From there on their life together is full of ordeals and challenges from evil forces trying to separate them, but they manage to conquer them and live happily ever after.

That’s the short version, but if you want the full story you can easily find it around the web. The game theme is cleverly brought to life on the reels by using top of the line visual effects and animations, as well as corresponding symbols. The overall game play is calm and soothing with a corresponding background tune, also common for Chinese themed video slot games.

 Developers

Legend of the White Snake Lady served as an inspiration for the designer team at Yggdrasil Gaming. They already have a few slots that follow themes like this one, so it seems that they are building up quite a collection of ancient Chinese legend theme slots.

With Legend of the White Snake Lady the designers did a great job with the visual effects, giving a whole new top level look to their video slot releases. As far as the visual effects go, we hope to see the same level of quality on their future releases as well.

How to Play

Almost all of the new Yggdrasil slot releases follow the 243 ways to win design with 5 reels and 3 rows, so the same design was used for Legend of the White Snake Lady. The bet levels are decent starting with $0.25 and ending with $125 per spin.

 Special Features

Legend of the White Snake Lady features the both ways win design, which means that winning combinations are formed over 3 adjacent reels, starting from left to right and vice versa. This way base play winnings should be more frequent and higher in payout.

The wild symbol lands only on the central reel and awards a free re-spin each time he does. He also holds his place on the reel during the re-spin and a maximum of 3 wilds can land on the reel, one after another.

For this slot Yggdrasil went in a totally different direction from what we expected and created a feature we have never seen before on any of their slot games. In Legend of the White Snake Lady every 5 of a kind win combination will award a payout of 2,500 coins (100x total bet), regardless of which symbol it is.

You will get the same payout for the lowest or highest 5 of a kind win symbol.

 Maximums Payout

The maximum payout in Legend of the White Snake Lady comes from the White Snake Lady, if a pure 5 of a kind win is formed, without any wilds in the triggering combination. So basically 5 White Snake Lady symbols on the reels award a great 25,000 coins payout (1,000 x total bet)

 Summary

Yggdrasil Gaming is probably one of the best younger software provider companies on the market today. Their video slot games are easily compared to the top slots from the leasing providers and that is one of the main reasons why they have a big number of players on a daily basis.

Still with their latest release it seems that they didn’t pay enough attention to the bonus feature of the game. The 100 and 1,000 x bet payouts for 5 of a kind wins are attractive, but anything under that is peanut payouts on the reels, not enough to cover the losses.

In our opinion this is the only game from Yggdrasil that we will pass on playing for real money.
