NIULANG AND ZHINU QUICK START GUIDE
There are many love stories that have been told but the majorities are from the Western world. While this is the case, it does not by any means that in other parts of the world, there are no Romeo and Juliet tales to be told.
In an effort to popularize love stories from other corners of the world, Ainsworth designed a slot which draws its action from one of Asia’s most popular love tales, that of Niulang and Zhinu.
Though there are many variations to the story, the most popular one is that Niulang was a cowherd who fell in love with Zhinu the weaver girl. However, as their stars (Vega for Zhinu and Altair for Niulang) were from opposite sides, their union was banished. The only solace they were given was to reunite one day each year on the 7th day of the 7th lunar month, that’s some hanging out for a little bit of naughty business 🙂
To learn more about these two love birds and their story, players will simply need to spin the 5 reels of Niulang and Zhinu slot game that come with 25 paylines.
Niulang and Zhinu by Ainsworth was released on 10th July, 2020. It has a 5 x 3 reels format, 25 paylines, a 96.32 % RTP and a medium to high variance level.
