Hungry for more? How about a game of Dim Sum Prize? As far as prizes go, there’s nothing better than a bamboo steamer filled with all kinds of goodies. Dim Sum Prize will deliver some steaming fun with a side of excitement via this 5-reel, 3-row slow with 10 paylines.

Whatever you do, do not play this game when you are hungry. The graphics look so appetising! Each symbol, a mouth-watering representation of Cantonese goodness which will make you drool.

This game is set on a background of what looks like a Chinese street food kitchen stall. It will get your tummy rumbling for some exciting wins, especially when the steamer reveals either the scatter or the wild tile.

Symbols

BetSoft did a superb job with the design. There are no filler tiles here! Every one of the tiles has been intricately produced which gives the slot a quality feel. Same goes for the animations, together with the FX, that go with the reveal of what is inside the steamer: a scatter or a wild.

The symbols, from highest to the lowest consist of:

  • The scatter tile is a crimson coupon. Three of these will trigger the free spins round.
  • The wild tile is a blue teapot complete with a number in its top-right corner. These wilds will substitute for all symbols bar the scatter tile. The number indicated the amount of Teatime wilds spins in play.
  • The soup yields 25x with 5-of-a-kind on a payline.
  • The meat plate yields 8x with 5-of-a-kind on a payline.
  • The rice noodle rolls yield 4x with 5-of-a-kind on a payline.
  • The prawn tails yield 3x with 5-of-a-kind on a payline.
  • The white dim sum yields 1.6x with 5-of-a-kind on a payline.
  • The brown dim sum yields 1.2x with 5-of-a-kind on a payline.
  • The steamed vegetables yield 0.8x with 5-of-a-kind on a payline.

Features

A bamboo steaming basket can appear at random on reel 2, 3 and 4. When it does it will reveal either a crimson coupon (the scatter) or a blue teapot (the wild).

  • Teatime wilds

Each time a Teatime wild appears on the reel you will be awarded a free respin. The more teapots that make an appearance the more respins you will have. Once the teatime respin is active, if another teatime wild appears on the reels another respin is added. This can go on up to 9 respins.

These teapots are sticky and will substitute any tile on the reels (apart from the scatter tile). So even during gameplay, there is the opportunity to rack up a nice win. This is even more possible if more and more teapots grace you with their presence.

  • Free spins round

If 3 crimson coupons are revealed you will enter the bonus round where 5 free spins are awarded. Once in the bonus round the crimson coupons will transform into teatime wilds and will become sticky. Any other teapots which land on the reels will become sticky and award a further spin.

Conclusion

Released in August 2020, this slot has a return to player of 97.18% and claims to have medium volatility which will suit casual players perfectly. If you’re a newbie this slot is a great place to start too. However, hardcore players may want to look elsewhere as the max payout of here is a low 377x.

Even though this slot kept me entertained for a good hour I did end up finding it quite repetitive. The features are fun to play with but, due to the low max payout, there isn’t any of that excitement which comes from jaw-dropping wins. My wins always hovered around the 25x no matter how many teapots made an appearance.

Ultimately, this game is good entertainment and with the high RTP, it might make it a good game for wagering purposes.

Pros

  • Appetizing graphics: The graphics of Dim Sum Prize are highly detailed and mouth-watering, providing an engaging visual experience.

  • Free spins round: The game offers a free spins round with sticky wilds, providing more opportunities for players to win.

Cons

  • Limited paylines: With only 10 paylines, the game might not provide as many winning combinations as other slots with more paylines.
  • Lower payouts for some symbols: Some symbols, like the steamed vegetables, have relatively low payouts, which may not be very appealing to players seeking high rewards.
  • Potential to cause cravings: The highly appetizing graphics may make players hungry while playing, which could be seen as a downside for some.
  • No additional bonus games: Besides the free spins round and the Teatime Wilds feature, the game does not offer any other bonus games, which might make it less exciting for players looking for a more diverse gameplay experience.
