Chi
Chi online slot is a Chinese fantasy-themed game that is played on a unique 3x5 grid — yes, it is vertical and it spins sideways. Elk Studios always brings a visual masterpiece every time they release a slot game and it is no different here. Set in a temple in the Mystical Chinese mountains, you are joined by 2 elemental Spirits - Chi and Mow. However, they need to be released by way of spinning as they have their own set of reels. Unleashing them will trigger several game features. A Chinese martial arts theme also plays in the background for this game.

Chi Symbols
The symbols to look out for in the Chi slot game are the Free Spins symbol and Bonus Symbol. The Free Spins symbol has the word spelled out and getting 3 or more triggers the free spins bonus. The Bonus symbols come in the form of 2 fish forming the Yin Yang. The Stairway to Fortune is triggered when 3 Bonus symbols appear on the reels.
A wild symbol is also present, replacing all symbols except for the free spins and bonus.
Other symbols in the game are also taken from Chinese culture such as the Lotus, Chinese Lantern, Golden Flask, Jade Crystals and others.
Chi Features
The elemental spirits, Chi and Mow, are there to help you land more wins in Chi slot online. Their appearances increase the chances of forming winning combinations or the payout amount.
Chi Feature
Fire Spirit Chi adds 1-6 wilds at random positions in the reels when it hits during the base game. The same happens during free spins but the wilds remain for the duration of the bonus.
Mow Feature
Wind Spirit Mow applies a multiplier between 2x to 5x at random when it hits during the base game. The same with Chi, the multiplier sticks during free spins and increases by 1 to a maximum of 5x everytime Mow hits.
Free Spins Bonus
An unlimited retrigger free spins feature is initiated when 3 or more free spin symbols appear on the reels.
- 3 symbols — 10 free spins
- 4 symbols — 15 free spins
- 5 symbols — 20 free spins
A first strike on Mow starts a sticky progressive multiplier at 2x and increases to up to 5x with further hits. All wilds from Chi also become sticky for the duration of the free spins.
Stairway to Fortune
Another bonus feature for Chi slot is the Stairway to Fortune, triggered by getting 3 bonus symbols in the base game. Chi will draw a random number between 1 to 6 while Mow holds on to a multiplier value. Mow will then move forward towards the Fortune Reels. One free spin on each reel is awarded when the Fortune Reel is reached and all multipliers collected along the way are added and multiplied to the win. If Collect is drawn, the bonus game ends and wins are multiplied by the number that Mow has.
