Three Kingdom in the Playboy Casino (also written Play8oy) lobby is a compact 9-line slot drawn from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. The reels sit between two bronze war drums with cavalry in a forest behind them. There is no map or faction choice here, just a paytable of heroes and relics, a flag wild and a bonus game that can run more than once.

Who's who on the reels

  • The emperor in a gold crown: 400 / 80 / 20 (x2500)
  • The strategist in a blue cap, chin in hand (styled like Zhuge Liang): 200 / 40 / 15 (x1000)
  • The red-faced general in green (styled like Guan Yu): 160 / 30 / 10 (x500)
  • The lady with a hair ornament: 100 / 20 / 7 (x400)
  • Red warhorse: 60 / 15 / 5 (x150)
  • White feather fan: 40 / 10 / 3 (x100)

Our win screenshot shows the bottom rung: a bow line paying 4 at Play 2. On the same spin a Wild burst into flames on reel five.

Two crossed war flags, labelled Wild, are the substitute. The rule reads "Flags Symbol substitutes any symbols except the Bonus Symbol." In the base game it turned up on reels two and five in our first screenshot, so it is not restricted to the middle reels.

The crescent-blade bonus

The Bonus symbol is a crescent-bladed polearm, the kind of weapon associated with Guan Yu. It triggers the bonus game, and the number of blades sets how many times it runs:

  • 3 blades: bonus game x1
  • 4 blades: bonus game x2
  • 5 blades: bonus game x3

Our opening screenshot had two blades side by side on the middle row of reels two and three, one short of a trigger. The bonus game itself is not shown in our captures.

Betting it

Nine fixed lines at Play 2 cost 18 per spin, cheap enough to play for a long time. The paytable is steep at the top (five seals pay ten times what five ladies do), so most spins return small amounts from the fan and bow. Low Play and a patient wait for three blades is the sensible approach.

The same theme appears on other platforms: see Three Kingdom on ACE333 and Three Kingdom on Joker123. The rest of this lobby is in the Playboy Casino overview, and you can get a Play8oy game ID to play.

Questions players ask

How does the Three Kingdom bonus game trigger?

With the crescent-blade Bonus symbol: three play the bonus game once, four play it twice and five play it three times.

What does 'All Same' mean in the paytable?

A prize for filling the whole screen with one symbol, from x50 for the bow up to x5000 for the golden seal.
