Oriental Treats Abound In BF Games’ Taste Of China Slot
By Shane Addinall Jun 02, 2019 Game ReleaseReady for an amazing reel spinning adventure? A whole new world of colourful sights and haunting sounds awaits you in BF Games Asian-themed slot, Taste of China!BF Games have given their latest Asia-themed slot, Taste of China, a more traditional look and feel when it comes to both graphics and sound design. The slot invites you to immerse yourself in a wondrous culture and fills the reels with the art, mythology, people and cuisine of an ancient Chinese village!
Enjoy The Sights and Sounds of China
Rather than follow the latest trend of high-gloss or sci-fi takes on Asian-themed slots BF Games have created a more traditional richly coloured world for their Taste of China slot machine. The backdrop to the game is a historical Chinese village where the shingled roof tiles are hues of red, turquoise and blue, while the streets are paved in stone. The reel setting is a temple-like structure decorated with the game logo above and Chinese lanterns down the sides, which is under the watchful eye of its Fu Manchu sporting caretaker.
The reels themselves are filled with playfully designed takes on the Chinese Dragon, Buddhist Temple, Moonlit Lotus, Chinese Fan, Chinese Lantern, Tea Ceremony and an enticing Ramen Soup. The two base game symbols which don’t seem to fit the overall aesthetic of the reels are the Monk and Princess, they’re overly cartoonish and don’t fit as well as the other symbols do.
The last icons you’ll see on the reels are the Scatter and Gamble symbols. These are dual Goldfish and Four Aces respectively and launch the slots only two feature games.
What really ties the Oriental theme of Taste of China together is the fantastic score! The strings, percussion and wind instruments create a haunting and immersive soundtrack that could very well have been written for a film.
Engaging Bonus Features
BF Games have been producing high-quality games of late and Taste of China is no exception. The gameplay on this 5-reel 20 payline slot is smooth, the soundboard adds to the experience rather than overwhelming it and it is perfectly optimised for all mobile devices.
They have also implemented one of the most user-friendly versions of the AutoPlay function currently online. You simply hit the AutoPlay button and the game continues to spin the reels at the bet level you’re on. No need to select a max loss or number of spins or whether to stop on a win – the game continues to spin till you deactivate the function by clicking the AutoPlay button again.
Taste of China is a medium volatility slot with an RTP that vacillates from 94,10% to 98,03% (with an average of 96.06%) depending on the Bonus Feature and Super Symbols on the reels. It also offers you the option to stake anything from €0.20 up to €200.00 per spin. Keep this in mind when activating AutoPlay!

You will be awarded 12 free games to claim as much value as you can from your Oriental adventure. In addition to your Free Spins, you will also be awarded a randomly selected Win Multiplier. This multiplier will be either x5, x10 or even x20!

✓Gamble Mode

You are given the option of selecting either the black stone or the red stone – pick the colour that matches the randomly selected card and your win is doubled. This feature allows you double your stake 4 consecutive times!
When you have AutoPlay activated the game will not stop when you win to offer you a chance to play the Gamble feature.
Ready For Adventure?
Taste of China is initially not the most appealing slot visually, the design choice makes it look a little muddy compared to its high-gloss peers. However, the soundtrack and smooth gameplay will immerse you in the slot within a few spins. The medium variance means you see a nice level of action on the reels but not at break the bank levels. The overall experience of Taste of China will appeal more to casual slots fans, while the lure of the big jackpot could find a niche among Asian slot jackpot hunters.
