Chi by ELK Studios is a 5-reel, 3-row slot with 27 paylines paying in both directions, creating 54 ways to win. The game has a medium-high volatility profile and an RTP of 96%. Its design uses an Asian-themed setting linked to the legend of a hidden mountain city, with Chi and Mow represented as guiding spirits.
The demo version lets players play for free and practice before playing for real money. A bonus round called Stairway to Fortune starts when three bonus symbols land. In this feature, Chi draws numbers from 1 to 6 while Mow moves along a cloud path, building a cumulative multiplier until Collect appears. A full run can reach multipliers of up to 12,500x the bet, with an additional 10,000x available from the top reel arrow.
Free spins are triggered by three or more free-spin symbols, awarding 10, 15, or 20 spins depending on the count. These spins can retrigger, while wilds created by Chi remain sticky for the round. Mow also adds a progressive multiplier that starts at x2 and can rise to x5, while Chi’s fireballs can place 1 to 6 wild symbols on the reels.
