Fu Dao Le Slot- New 243-Way Slot With Jackpots Released From SGi/Bally
Casumo Casino has just added a brand new slot release from SGi/Bally titled Fu Dao Le which is a regular 5×3 reel slot with 243 paylines and 4 different Jackpots on offer too.
As you might expect from the title, Fu Dao Le is a heavily Asian themed slot, with a mix of regular symbols and Asian themed higher paying symbols on the reels, along with this there are special Wonus Scatter Symbols (Wild Scatters), Wilds, Expanding Wilds, Mystery Stacked Reels, and Multipliers and of course the 4 different Jackpots on offer which are based on current stake size.
Whilst the pays in the base game are on the low side even for 5 of a kind wins, there is plenty going on in the base game and chances to score some decent stacked wins, but the free spins mode is where this slot really shines. not only are multiplier wilds added to the reels but it is also quite easy to gain extra free spins during the bonus round which can really increase the total number of free spins that you get to play.
When the bonus round is triggered with 3 Wonus Symbols you are awarded 8 free spins with multiplier wilds added to the reels, it’s also quite easy to gain many extra free spins during the bonus which can really extend the bonus round and win potential.

Overall Thoughts
Fu Dao Le is a much better slot release from SGi/Bally, packed with interesting base game and bonus round features and of course a wide range of Jackpots on offer that increases in value based on stake size.
The major negative is the somewhat low-value paytable even for 5 of a kind wins, so you really are dependent on hitting the free spins round with added multipliers to see the larger wins.
The bonus round, however, is really great fun with the extra free spins on offer and heavily stacked mystery reels that can create some huge pays.
Overall a much better release from Bally and worth playing to just check out the free spins round and the novel extra free spins mechanic.
