As you work the 5x3 grid to land base game symbols like Bonsai Trees, Cherry Blossom Trees, and of course Koi Fish across the game's 25 paylines, you'll also want to keep your eyes peeled for two special symbols that can take your experience from Zen to win — the Dragonfly Free Spin symbols and the Lotus Flower Bonus symbols. These will open the doors to their respective Bonus Games, where Koi Garden's most beautiful prizes await.
To trigger your Free Spins (up to 15), you'll need to land at least three of the Dragonfly Scatters in any position on the board. In this Bonus Game, you are awarded a special Multiplier worth up to 3x.
This one works a little differently, as collecting three Lotus Flowers will whisk you away to a special pick ‘em-style game where you get to choose two Koi fish. These can hold some handsome Instant Win prizes, so choose carefully.
Slot aficionados know that the big money usually lies in the Bonus Rounds, and Koi Garden is no exception, as its not one but two Bonus Games provide some of the game's most satisfying payouts. The key to making the most of the Dragonfly Free Spins Round is maxing out your Free Spins by landing as many Scatters as possible, then hoping you can bag a nice Multiplier to double or even triple your winnings. The Lotus Flower Bonus relies a bit more on luck, but is one of the game's most exciting surprises, and Instant Wins are always welcome.
The gameplay in the two Bonuses varies quite a bit, with the Dragonfly Free Spins utilizing the exact same game grid, symbols, and paylines. Its biggest difference from the base game (besides the fact that you're not paying per spin) is the potential Multiplier. The 3x Multiplier for all Free Spins can really change the tone of a game. The Lotus Flower Bonus is its own entity, but unlike other games where one poor choice ends the round, you're guaranteed at least a small Instant Win here.
