Glorious, indeed. Ash gaming, with great help from Playtech, created this fantastic slot in 2021. What's so special about this game? Well, in short - finally a unique, very different video slot about ancient China that doesn’t look like the sea of others of this design. Great graphics, and interesting features... if you like slots inspired by the legends of Asia, be sure to keep reading…

Glorious Guardians Gameplay and Theme

The easiest way to understand the atmosphere of the Glorious Guardians slot is if we tell you that it resembles a high-budget, Hollywood epic fantasy movie. Everything regarding the design is powerful, and at the same time, a bit intimidating. 

The visuals are absolutely perfect; in the background, partially, you can see ancient Chinese buildings, while on the left and right side of the reel, sitting, not looking friendly at all, some creatures made of stone. They protect what looks like a 5x3 reel set. 

The reel symbols are mythical guardians who are protecting the wealth of the Chinese Empire. The Yellow Dragon, White Tiger, Dragon, a Phoenix Bird. Also, the Yin-Yang symbol and a numbered chip appear, and they play the role of the Scatter in this game. As in every other modern slot machine, besides high-paying icons, the symbols of lower value also take their part in the game. In Glorious Guardians, these are card symbols.

Well-crafted slot with plenty of details. 

The designers of this game paid attention to the smallest details; everything is perfectly made, the animations in the form of fire are flawless, and the music perfectly blends with the theme... but not to bore you about the design and graphics anymore - the game looks perfect, without a single mistake.

Betting Options and More Options

If you paid attention, we said earlier that this Ash Gaming release looks like a 5x3 reel slot. Looks might fool you; the total number of reels in Glorious Guardians is actually 11! The game has 9 positions on the central grid, plus two additional reels on both sides. Over these 11 active reels, 50 fixed paylines are delivering wins. 

The size of the prize, logically, depends on the value of the combination, and the size of the bet. Players can choose between 0.10 and 500 coins per spin, which is a large, flexible range, ideal for beginners and high rollers. Last, but definitely not least important - RTP is above industry standards! 96, 49% - pretty high!

Glorious Guardians Slot Features

Several unusual power-ups are making this China-inspired slot very interesting. Let’s start with the most common feature, respin, which activates each time when three or more Scatters (Yin-Yang symbols) land on the central grid section. Players who achieve to land three or more Scatters in one spin will be rewarded with 3 extra spins.

One would think that the party ends after the extra spins are all used up. No, the interesting part starts at that very moment! Bonus Games begin automatically after the respin feature ends; the values from landed scatter are joined together, and given to a player in the form of more extra spins. If you land a Yin-Yang symbol during this bonus game, you might trigger one of the three available jackpots: Mini (20x bet), Major (100x bet), or Mega (1,000x bet).

The Twin Symbols game is another attractive and unique idea implemented in this creation. During the base game, mystery symbols may come out, and transform into one, the same character in each spin. Every time a player lands a symbol that matches the mystery symbol currently on the reels, it becomes a locked symbol for the spins that follow. 

The Fortune Guardians Puzzle is quite interesting. Drop Guardian symbols on reels number 1 and 11, and you will get three extra spins. These spins, however, have to be used in solving a puzzle that will appear on the central part of the grid. 

We guess this sounds a bit confusing and complicated to understand, be we promise, it’s pretty easy to understand the features and extremely entertaining to use them. 

Our Take on Glorious Guardians 

In every sense, this Ash Gaming slot is a breath of fresh air. First of all, finally, an Oriental slot machine that doesn’t involve pigs, cats, and envelopes. The design is unique, attractive, and done with a lot of care. Features are also a big, huge plus. Again, something we have never seen in other games, refreshing and highly amusing. The only downside here are the pretty low payouts. If you are playing for the rush, not the cash - go for it! It’s a pretty cool slot!
