About Legend of Hou Yi
Released in October 2018, Legend of Hou Yi builds on one of the founding myths of Chinese culture: Hou Yi, the legendary archer who shot down nine of the ten suns scorching the Earth, and whose wife Chang'e became the goddess of the Moon. PG Soft dresses that legend in a deliberately classic format — 5 reels, 3 rows, 30 paylines — with a 96.58% RTP and high volatility. The title's most interesting statistic is its 44.88% hit frequency, close to one paying spin in two: an exceptionally high figure for the market. But read the detail: that rate breaks down into 44.05% for the base game and only 0.83% for the free spins. In practice, the grid pays very often but usually small amounts, and the bonus is rare. It is precisely that contrast that explains the high-volatility rating despite a flattering win frequency. The free spins apply multipliers to wins and carry 28.88% of the total RTP (against 66.90% for the base game). Maximum potential is documented: 7,308x the stake, a figure drawn from simulation rather than a marketing promise. Beyond that, the title relies on classic substitution wilds and scatters. A very wide betting range, from €0.30 to €375 per round, with no bonus buy.
