Four Beauties pokie for free
Despite the deep female suppression and inequality exhibited in the Chinese society since Confucius’ time (5th century BC), when the women were considered inferior social class than men, where neglect, sexism and the notion that female children are undesirable, the history of this large Asian country contains countless examples of women exercising authority and playing major roles in diplomacy, politics, legal disputes and some even in warfare.

To some of these heroines from imperial China is dedicated the 2016 KA Gaming Four Beauties pokie. Graphically stunning - the ladies are exceptionally beautiful (as anyone can imagine), the remaining icons are drawn in old Chinese watercolour fashion - all artistic and very appealing.
The pokie offers rewards on a frame with a 5x4 layout crossed by 100 paylines. Technically, this is a Low- Medium Variance machine with an RTP of 96.01% and a large betting space of up to 100 AUD. Compared to other titles from the Taiwanese Studio, the minimum bet here is 1 AUD (i.e. not suitable for low-rollers). Sure, you can enjoy these beauties, and while the hit frequency is very high as usual for a KA Gaming creation (over 60% here), you can only get negligible wins due to the meagre values in the paytable.
Dragon, tiger, stork, carp, landscape, lotus are the 6 regular paying symbols. The other 4 are the gorgeous ladies (all 4 valued equally - 1.80x the total bet for 5OAK on a payline). They come constantly stacked on reels 1/2/4/5 and there is a consolation prize for landing all 4 different beauties on the 4 different reels - 1.20x the total bet. Landing any 1 of them on the 4 possible reels, plus stacked Wilds on reel 3, during 1 FS (with Multiplier x3) yields the pokie's maximum payout of 540x the total bet. This is considered insufficient by today’s standards, which is unfortunate as it hinders a good ranking for this fine pokie.
All in all, the great story behind Four Beauties, the appealing graphics and interesting features (Free Spins with x3 win Multiplier and Bonus Mini-game) are all not enough to compensate for the small-scale values on the provision board and the scanty topmost prospect.
Therefore we strongly recommend playing the free version before you commit your own capital to this Asian-themed game. Moreover, the Taiwanese Studio perhaps considers the Four Beauties pokie a success since they released a full reskin - Flower Goddess Festival pokie in 2021 (with only 2 differences - no consolation prize for 4 ladies on the screen, and no Mini-game).
Bonus Features of Four Beauties pokie
- Wilds - The tall pagoda (in an orange framed tile) is the Wild element in this beautiful picture. It carries no price tag of its own but replaces missing symbols (except Bonus icons and Scatters) when they are trying to engage in winning combinations.
- Scatters & Free Spins - The big pagoda (in a blue framed tile) is the Scatter. It cannot appear stacked and even though delivers the top value per combo cannot relate to the pokie’s maximum potential. Nevertheless, 5/4/3 blue pagodas anywhere on the grid yield 8x/5x/3x. Landing the same Scatters formations during 1 base spin will initiate 8/12/20 free rounds respectively. Each win in this Bonus gets a boost with Multiplier x3.
- Mini-game - The bridge (in a blue framed tile) is the Bonus symbol. It carries no price tag of its own, but 3+ Bonus symbols scattered anywhere on the grid will launch the Mini-game (West Lake Bonus). Here you can Pick & Click from 5 different colour flowers until you get the one with a sign - end of the Bonus game (i.e. max of 4 correct picks). The flower awards vary between 1x and 12x the total bet.
