IGT Launches 1421 Voyages of Zheng He

From 1421: Voyages of Zheng He, we’re getting a pokie machine that is inspired by one of the great explorers of China, and of the world really.

Zheng He lived between 1371 and 1433, and he was a diplomat and admiral of the Chinese, under the Ming dynasty. He was the commander for huge expeditions that China sent to various corners of Asia and even to Africa, over a period of almost three decades.

These were impressive expeditions, with lots of ships, huge ones that had hundreds of sailors each. The game will focus on the ocean and on things like ships, but will also show us the admiral along with various objects of Chinese origin.

We have an IGT pokie machine here, which gets 88 lines on 5 reels. Its bigger payouts can give us up to 888 coins. Features include the wild symbol, scatters and free spins which could have multipliers of up to 8x.

What We Love

I’ve found the navigation theme to be rather well done, and the Chinese theme was also well executed. You’re going to find both Chinese and exploration related symbols on those reels, things that the Western world doesn’t necessarily associate with this great country, since they don’t know enough of their history.

It’s a chance to learn a little bit more about that, and for that purpose the developer used on the reels images of Chinese gold coins, of Dragon flags, of Zheng He, Chinese ships, bells, jade and jewelry. They also used some basic poker cards though, which I’m less interested in.

One of the aspects of the game that I enjoyed was the presence of the wild symbol, which you recognize because it has the image of the gold coin, the kind with a square hole in the middle. You need these symbols to act as replacements most of the time, but sometimes you get lucky and they form their own combinations, paying up to 888 coins.

A flag like symbol will be present on the middle three reels, and it will be used as a scatter. You just need all three present, no matter in what position they appear, and you get a reward of 2x the wager, plus access to a Player Decision feature.

The choice here will be between the Cup feature and three different types of free spins. You can have 10 free spins with 1x to 8x multipliers, 15 spins with 1x to 5x multipliers, or 20 free spins with 1x to 3x multipliers.

As for the Cup feature, it asks you to locate the golden ball, which is hidden under one of the three porcelain cups. If you find it, the reward is worth 102x the total bet.

What We Do Not Like

Regular combinations pay at most 888 coins in the base game, but the features can improve the jackpot significantly.

Worth Playing?

I think that it will be a game that you will not see any other developer cover, at least this particular theme, and so you can only try it out at IGT. It’s worth playing overall.
