Win Sum Dim Sum Pokie Review

Win Sum Dim Sum has a Chinese cuisine theme, specifically the Dim Sum. The slot is complete with traditional Dim Sum bowls. Players will be hungry for the wins, and covering them in soy sauce. Dim Sum is a small portion of food, hopefully Microgaming have made these wins bigger that bite size.

Developer

Microgaming is one of the front-runners of the online casino industry. They have made over 600 games, and been operating since 1994 when the released the first online casino. The Isle of Man based company have been doing it the longest.

They make a good game, when they get it right. Their previous games have great feature, RTPs, and jackpots, but have been let down by their graphics. The aesthetics of Microgaming’s games disappoint players.

Design

Win Sum Dim Sum is a clone of another Microgaming release, SunTide. The game play is identical all that has changed is the design. The background image is a red tablecloth, which really immerses player in their Chinese cuisine.

It is not a good-looking game. The interface and design are very antiquated. The deep red background looks tacky, and it has those ugly payline boxes down the side of the reels. Microgaming have forgotten the amazing processing power of the personal computer, and designed this for a land based slot machine in the corner of a country pub.

There are no animations and the graphics are bad. Online slots need wow factor. In a casino, there is already an atmosphere. Light, bells, whistles, drinks and maybe even a friend or two surrounds the player.

When playing an online slot there is none of that, and the responsibility to engage the player falls solely on a small computer screen, in their bedroom. Moving on, the panel is found at the bottom of the reels. Nothing to see there, it is a generic panel, which they have used in all their recent releases. It is easy enough to use and houses all the game’s controls.

How to Play

There are 9 paylines in Win Sum Dim Sum. This is the same amount of paylines in SunTide. The thing is that Win Sum Dim Sum, is not released yet, and there is not much information out there about its gameplay. Given that it appears to be a clone and Microgaming are no strangers to making a few identical games.

This review will assume they have identical gameplay. This is a left to right game meaning paylines begin in the furthermost reel to the left. The reels are spun with the Spin Button, and wins rewarded when they stop. Wins are won by landing matching symbols, in adjacent reels, in accordance with the paylines. For more information about betting and paylines, bring up the Paytable, with the Info Button.

Special Features

Win Sum Dim Sum has a wild symbol, which expands on the third reel. It grows to cover the entire reel, and it will substitute any symbol, except the scatter, to make a winning payline. An expanding wild, does not work as well in a three 3×5 slot as it does in a 4×5. There is one less symbol to substitute, which can make many combinations. Win Sum Dim Sum, is a 3×5 slot, and the feature does not do much for the game. The wild is confined to the third wheel, and often does not make wins when it lands.

Win Sum Dim Sum has a free spins feature, which is triggered by landing three scatters anywhere on reels. They are the symbols with scatter on the picture. The free spins, do not differ much from the base game. The player is given 15 free spins. The only change to gameplay is the wild symbol now expands on the three middle reels, which makes for a lucrative feature. The free spins can also be retriggered rewarding the player a decent 30 free spins.

Maximum Payout

These are predictions, but it is expected that Win Sum Dim Sum will boast an impressive 1,222 x stake in the base game. With a potential 3,333x stake, available in the free spins.

Summary

Win Sum Dim Sum is an average game. It does not have a nice appearance, and the features leave a lot to be desired, but it does have good base game play. There is a nice jackpot to be won, and the symbols values are all quite high.

The 9 paylines are alright, on a 3×5 layout but more paylines would have been better. This game can sustain a bankroll, but it is slow boring and ugly. It really comes down to what a player is looking for in a slot.
