Ping Pong King

There are slot companies from all over the world that seek to create games that embody their culture, to create something new. Very few actually manage to do so. Instead, they just tend to produce games that change the themes to match local influences.

Ganapati is one of the few companies that can bring a whole new gaming experience, at least to western players. In this particular slot, Ping Pong is taken to a new level. It’s still a slot, but it plays out differently, starting from simple things like reels rolling sideways. You get to choose your own variance, and there are a few interesting special features to check out.

Theme

The reels are placed on a ping pong table, with your character battling for the championship spot with three different opponents. The style is distinctively Japanese, as are the music and sounds. The reels roll to the tune of the game, with the ball bouncing back and forth between the players.

The background is on another level, with the audience cheering you (or the opponent) on. There are plenty of animations to keep the gameplay interesting. There’s a certain amount of novelty here that might eventually wear out, but until then the game is interesting just for the theme alone.

Betting Options and Functions

The symbols might move from left to right and vice versa, but that doesn’t mean the basics wouldn’t still be the same. The slot comes with the same five times three-reel setup, with 25 paylines running from left to right.

...the highest volatility triples the possible prizes...

The variance depends on the opponent you choose, with the possible options offering low, medium and high volatility. There are a total of 15 symbols, of which three are different special symbols. The returns scale from 5 times your line bet to 750 times the line bet.

Features

Three or more bonus symbols will trigger the bonus feature during the basic game and the free spins. This is quite a simple feature, where you will simply be given a random prize that ranges between double your bet and one thousand times your bet.

Three, four and five free spins symbols trigger 10, 15 and 20 extra spins respectively. The feature cannot be retriggered. For the duration of the feature, the wild symbol gets replaced with the bonus symbol, adding the above chance of random prizes for every spin.

Our Take

A different take on the reels, interesting gameplay, instant prizes and bonus games. If that is not enough, then the ability to change volatility on the fly should get you interested in this Ganapati slot. 

The style is interesting, and certainly something that the company excels with. If you are looking for something new and different then this is a game that you should give a look, even if only in demo mode.
