BIG WIN - Fu Dao Le Slot Machine Bonus - Babies (2 clips). HUGE WIN - Zhong Qiu Slot Machine - Bonus, Babies, and Progressives! FULL SCREEN OMG BABIES!. FU DAO LE Slot Machine Bonus (SG). Published: Thursday, December 3, 2020 12:22 PM.
Fu Dao Le is a video slot machine created by Bally Technologies. It offers a number of features like 5 different progressives jackpots, free games bonus, and more. Its huge curved screen really immerses you in the game with its great graphics and audio.
In this review we’ll go over the game’s basic mechanics and our take on the popular slot.
Game Mechanics
- Fu Dao Le has 5 reels of 3 symbols each. It’s an any-way pay game meaning there’s no “paylines” and 243 possible ways to win. Revealing symbols increase the chances of getting a lot of matching symbols.
- A green gong symbol appearing on reels 2-4 is wild, and getting 3 awards the free games bonus.
- Bet sizes range from 38 cents to a huge $8.88.
Free Games Bonus
Fu Dao Le’s free games bonus is triggered by getting 3 green gong symbols. 8 free games are awarded.
During the bonus the green gong symbol appears on all reels, but each gong that appears on reel 5 adds 1 additional free game.

Huge wins are possible in the bonus with the addition of 2x and 3x wilds on the center reel.
Red Envelope Progressive Jackpot
Above the slot is a screen showing the Red Envelope Jackpot value. Fu Dao Le awards the Red Envelope Jackpot when a special red envelope symbol appears on the first and last reel.
On some machines the red envelope jackpot is specific to the machine and other times it’s linked to other local machines. The jackpot seems to typically be in the $100-200 range.
Progressives
Fu Dao Le has 3 progressive levels: Mini, Minor, Major, and Maxi. All progressives are available at all bet levels, making it theoretically possible to win over $9k on the 38-cent minimum bet.

Players win one of the progressives on random spins when the center reel’s purple expanding wild symbol lands. The likelihood of getting the progressive feature seems to be related to bet size.
The progressive feature is a picking game where players have to match 3 symbols to win that progressive. It’s worth nothing however that the progressive to be won is predetermined and the player has no influence on the jackpot awarded, so don’t feel bad about picking that Mini jackpot instead of the Maxi. It was meant to be…
Good Fortune has Arrived
Fu Dao Le has an exciting feature where on random spins, the screen will darken and say “Good Fortune has Arrived.” The game’s baby mascots also appear and let out a giggle, signaling something good is about to happen. That something good could be a bonus, big win, or progressive win.
The “Good Fortune babies” also make random appearances during the free games bonus to give big wins.
Gameplay
Fu Dao Le is an incredibly fun slot to play. Its plentiful features give numerous chances to win in different ways. The “Good Fortune has Arrived” display is a nice touch that builds excitement and anticipation. Fu Dao Le also has some of the best bonus music ever created (this is not debatable).
Keep in mind Fu Dao Le is a fairly volatile machine and can be very tough. Its any-way pay mechanic allows full screens of symbol (so think 5-of-a-kind pays times 243, or 729 if you get the 3x wild during the bonus). Also, its multiple progressive jackpots are also available at any level. The chance of getting a $9k win on a 38-cent bet can make it a very lucrative game, but at the cost of holding onto a lot of money to feed those progressives.
Overall, Bally really created a wonderful slot with Fu Dao Le. Though its focus is obviously the Asian market, it has become extremely popular with virtually all gambling demographics and we recommend giving it a shot on your next casino visit if they offer it.
Be sure and rub those babies for good luck!

JACKPOT POTENTIAL on the Fu Dao Le slot machine by Bally!
Fu Dao Le remains a classic and can be found on most gaming floors and most players have probably given it a shot at one point or another.
The base game is generally a scatter-based game where you win by landing the same symbols on at least 3 consecutive reels from left to right although there is also a lines-based high limit version out there too.
There are three primary features in Fu Dao Le: The Red Envelope Jackpot Feature, the Free Games Bonus, and the Pick Jackpot Feature.

The Red Envelope Feature is triggered by landing special bonus symbols on reels 1 and 5 for a Progressive award that resets at $100 for versions that have a max bet of $8.88.

The Jackpot Pick Feature is randomly triggered whenever a wild symbol lands on reel 3 and the chance of it occurring increases with your bet level. You then choose coins until you match 3 for a progressive award although the pick is not a 'fair pick' so where you choose doesn't matter.
The Free Games Bonus is triggered by landing bonus symbols on reels 2, 3, and 4 for 8 free games although additional free games are awarded whenever any bonus symbol lands on reel 5. During the bonus, reel 3 now contains special stacked wild multipliers of both 2x and 3x to help you score that Big Win or Jackpot!
A feature that's now common in many slot machines is a 'foreshadowing' event which is an audio and visual cue that when it occurs, you know something great will happen and Fu Dao Le may be one of the first games to do this. In Fu Dao Le this occurs when the 'Good Fortune Fu Babies' make an appearance and when they do, you will either score a Big Win, have the Free Games Bonus triggered or have the Red Envelope Feature triggered. If this occurs during the Free Games bonus, you have a shot at a Jackpot even and it's really what you want when you play this one, as you will see, Enjoy!

You play that game like I do. Changing my bets . I was in Tunica and hit 1100 on 3.68 bet . Then about 10 spins hit on the 2.88 for 700 . That game as good potential. I saw a lady once get 4 good fortune in one bonus for massive handpay . One of my fav games

Indeed great session. Imagine if the 9s were better symbols? Great hot either way and also fun to see you get the envelope jackpot. Nice triple up overall this was very cool and fun to see!

Boo. I hate getting the free games on a low bet after stepping it up higher and higher!

Nice video, but not to sure about this game. The idea of the reels turning into symbols has big potential, but it also disappoints a lot. Fortunately the babies came through and better yet on a big bet. 380 bucks and not even a full screen of nines, very nice 😉
