Features That Shape Your Strategy
Fire spirit Chi. When he appears, he adds between one and six wilds to the reels. During free spins these wilds become sticky.
Wind spirit Mow. Adds a multiplier of 2x to 5x to the total win.
Bonus games. Three free spins symbols start the free spins; three bonus symbols start Stairway to Fortune, which awards extra multipliers.

How to Play Chi: Practical Tips
The biggest wins come when sticky wilds and multipliers combine in the free spins. High volatility means patience is essential: use small stakes and plan for a long session rather than a short, expensive one.
Bet size: high volatility means long runs without wins, followed by occasional big hits. Keep each spin to about 0.5% of your session budget or less – with £50, around 25p – and plan for at least 200 spins.

Where to Play Chi
Chi is available at many casinos that carry ELK Studios games. Choose a licensed site with fair bonus terms – free spins offers are a good way to try a slot – and compare options in our best UK casinos list.
No strategy can change the result of a spin: every outcome is random. At UK-licensed casinos, autoplay and bonus buys are not available and online slot stakes are capped at £5 per spin (£2 for players aged 18 to 24). Set a budget before you play and stop when it is gone.
