Budai Reels Slot by Evoplay

The entire bonus structure runs through a single mechanic: Budai Respins. Three Scatter symbols landing anywhere on the 5x3 grid lock in place and award 3 respins. During those respins, only Scatters, +1 Spin symbols, and blanks appear. Each new Scatter sticks, and each +1 Spin symbol extends the round by one extra respin before vanishing.

When the last respin plays out - or all 15 grid positions fill with Scatters - the game counts them and pays from a 13-tier progressive ladder. Three Scatters return just 1x the bet; filling all 15 positions pays the full 5,000x cap. The jump between tiers grows steep past 8 Scatters: 60x at eight, 100x at nine, then 350x at twelve and 1,200x at fourteen. That curve gives the respins a hold-and-win feel where each additional sticky symbol matters more than the last.

Outside the bonus, base game wins come from standard payline matches across 20 lines. The golden Budai figure is the top-paying regular symbol at 200x for five of a kind, and gold ingots follow at 100x. A red-and-gold Chinese aesthetic wraps the reels - cherry blossoms, paper scroll decorations, lantern-style frames - with the prize ladder displayed on a permanent sidebar to the left.
