Money Gong Empress

About Money Gong Empress

Money Gong Empress is an Asian-themed slot from IGT set among imperial palaces, gold coins and ceremonial gongs. It plays on a 5x3 grid and is built around IGT's Money Gong mechanic, a dedicated bonus on the fifth reel that sits alongside a Hold & Win round and a Free Spins feature.

The game is rated high volatility, so wins can be spaced out, with more of the return concentrated in the bonus rounds. The Hold & Win Bonus gives a chance at the Grand prize, the Money Gong Bonus opens a vault of Gold Coins across four tiers, and Free Spins can award up to 18 spins. The maximum win at Midnite is 13,644x your stake.

How to Play Money Gong Empress

Choose your stake and spin. Stakes at Midnite start from £0.08 per spin. Wins pay for matching symbols from the leftmost reel, and Wilds on reels 2, 3 and 4 in the base game substitute for all symbols except the Bonus, Money Gong Bonus and coin symbols.

Coin symbols carry values and are the route into the Hold & Win Bonus. Land six or more and you get three respins, with the count resetting each time a new coin lands. The Money Gong Bonus is linked to reel 5 and the Bonus symbols trigger Free Spins. The in-game help screen sets out the full trigger rules, prize tiers and paytable.
