Three Kingdom on ACE333: Heroes, Flags and a Sensible Bet on Nine Lines

Three Kingdom brings the cast of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms to a small nine-line slot: Guan Yu in green, a strategist in a blue cap, a crowned lord, a lady with hair ribbons and a red warhorse. The ACE333 version uses a different control panel from the platform's usual one, so this page spends most of its time on the bet and how to make a small balance last.

The reels

Five reels, three rows, framed by a war drum on each side and a misty battlefield behind. The nine line markers are coloured balls in the order 4, 2, 6, 8, 1, 9, 7, 3, 5.

Besides the five characters, the symbols are a gold seal with a beast on top, a feather fan, and a bow with a quiver of arrows. Two special symbols stand out:

• Wild: a red war flag with "WILD" written in blue.
• Bonus: a helmet with a red plume on a blue swirl, labelled BONUS.

The first screenshot shows all fifteen positions filled with Bonus helmets, but the Win box reads 0.00, so treat it as a display screen rather than a real result.

The bet panel

This game does not use ACE333's usual Lines and Bet boxes. It has its own blue bar:

• Credit: your balance.
• Lines: fixed at 9.
• Play: the bet per line, with a minus and plus.
• Total Play: Play times 9.
• Win, and a green Spin button that says "Hold for Autospin".

In the screenshots Play goes from 0.10 (Total Play 0.90) down to 0.02 (Total Play 0.18), and the credit then falls 0.18 a spin, from 27.07 to 26.35 over five spins with nothing landing.

Pacing a small balance

Since the lines are fixed, the only choice you make is the Play amount. At 0.02 a line (0.18 a spin), RM20 buys you about 110 spins. At 0.10 a line (0.90), the same RM20 lasts about 22. The helmet Bonus is the event that changes the session, and you want enough spins to see it, which makes the lowest Play level the sensible default.

Hold-for-Autospin is handy, but it makes it easy to lose count. Decide the number of spins before holding the button, and look at Credit when it stops.

Other versions

The same game sits in the Joker123 lobby, and the Joker123 Three Kingdom page goes through its paytable, the bonus game and the All Same prizes. The ACE333 build adds the Major, Random and Minor meters across the top. For the platform itself, see the ACE333 guide, and to play you can get an ACE333 game ID.
