Play’n GO, a leading online casino game developer, has released a new online video slot game titled ‘Mahjong 88’ that is inspired by the Chinese tile-based game.

The 8 reel, 8 row reactor style Mahjong 88 slot takes place over a pond, where a frog sits on a sidebar looking at the tiles as the game is played.

Players endeavor to have 4 or more like symbols touching each other to combine for a win with the winning symbols then removed and replaced by new tiles.  This gives players an opportunity to try and rack together additional combinations in order to win.  The game continues until no new winning combinations can be created.

All wins contribute to increasing the Fortune Frog meter which is fully charged with 33 winning symbols.  One of the following effects is triggered when no new winning combinations are created –

Croak – 1 symbol set is chosen, paying scattered.
Spawn – 1 symbol set is chosen, transforming to another symbol.
Tongue – 2 edges chosen, symbols between are transformed to another symbol.
Hop – 1 symbol is chosen, transforming and destroying adjacent symbols.

Wild symbols substitute for all symbols and removed if forming a win or a Fortune Frog is triggered.

Spring – up to 12 wilds can appear, placed randomly on the grid.
Summer – up to 5 wilds can appear, adjacent symbols are destroyed.
Autumn – up to 11 wilds can appear, symbols turn wild or destroyed from edges.
Winter – up to 4 wilds can appear, wilds not removed when winning.

All wins contribute to increasing the Season Bonus which is paid when the season changes.
