Shanghai Beauty Slot

Designed by Microgaming and Mahi Gaming, Shanghai Beauty takes you to the Far East, where you’ll see various bits of Asian culture.

The problem with Asian-themed slots is that there are so many of them that they can run together. So the question is if Shanghai Beauty has anything different to offer. We’ll uncover the answer below as we discuss this game’s background, symbols, betting options, features, and return to player (RTP).

Shanghai Beauty Slot Details

This 5-reel, 9-payline slot features traditional Asian music and lotus trees in the background. As for symbols, you’ll see the Shanghai Beauty (woman w/ fan), ingot, oriental ship, wild symbol, jade box (free spins), and generic letters.

As adept as Microgaming is at designing online slots, we’re surprised that Shanghai Beauty doesn’t offer much different from the crowded Asian genre. We also aren’t impressed with the graphics when looking at other modern Microgaming slots.

As for betting options, the 9 paylines are fixed, but you can change your total bet from $0.09 to $45.00 per spin. The 9-cent minimum bet is lower than most Microgaming slots and will definitely please low rollers.

Shanghai Beauty Slot Features

Above, we discussed how the main game doesn’t differ much from other Asian-themed slots. Another problem is that there aren’t enough features to save this game from being a run-of-the-mill slot. Here’s a look at what few features are offered.

Free Spins – When you land 3 or more jade boxes on the reels, you trigger 15 free spins. These free games come with a 3x multiplier, and you can retrigger the bonus at any time.

Shanghai Beauty Wild – There aren’t any other features to speak of with this game, so we decided to throw the wild symbol in here. The Shanghai Beauty icon is wild and substitutes for any symbol besides the scatter to form wins.

Shanghai Beauty Slot Payout (RTP%)

RTP for Shanghai Beauty is 96.0%, which is above average for an online slot.

Assuming you like simple slots that are easy to pick up, Shanghai Beauty is a solid game. It gets bonus points if you also enjoy playing Asian-themed slot machines. But if you’re expecting a cool new twist on the Asian genre, then you’ll be disappointed Shanghai Beauty. The only unique aspect of this slot is that it’s based on a Shanghai woman, which is something we haven’t seen yet.
