Slot machine details and review Legacy of the Sages Bonus Buy
Legacy of the Sages Bonus Buy is one of the slots you can find in Evoplayβs collection, and it is also part of the Orient category. Itβs got many of the usual elements inspired by Chinese culture, and itβs played in a large game area, with 5×5 reels ready to spin each round. Within the 5 reels of this slot machine, you will find only 15 paylines.
Every slot machine must be developed by a company that invented, designed and put it into operation. Many players eventually find that they only enjoy playing on machines from specific software provider, so they narrow down their selection by preferred brand.
A high volatility slot. Wins are rare, but can be really big. The game has more pronounced fluctuations and can often go without hitting anything for a long time, suitable for players who like adrenaline, higher risk and work with a larger budget. More about volatility here.
Slot theme and symbols
The inspiration for the design of this slot is clear, as Chinese temples with paper lanterns and firecrackers surround the large game area. Very well designed, this online slot chooses to focus on creatures that are popular in Chinese legends, and so the reels get populated with a mix of Royals and animals or birds. The look is a good one, and since it doesnβt rely on the usual Chinese symbols, itβs actually going to stand out in the very crowded Orient category. It has a total of 9 regular symbols, though only 4 of those feature those wild creatures.
Legacy of the Sages Bonus Buy theme and symbols
Legacy of the Sages is a highly volatile slot machine, the sort where most players can expect to lose money. Those few rounds that pay well can bring rewards worth as much as 4,041x the stake. Itβs not a very motivating top jackpot, given the volatility, but long-term, there is a 96.14% RTP as well, which is good enough.

WILD symbol
The Dragon Wilds are very well crafted and a pleasure to look at, plus they take on the role of the substitute symbol, so forming winning combinations becomes easier when theyβre around. The downside is that they canβt land on the 1st reel, only on reels 2-5, and so they canβt form their own combinations. They can replace only regular symbols.
Mystery symbol
The Mystery symbol has the image of the Yin Yang, and it can show up on the middle three reels.
Mystery Chain feature
If you get 5+ Mystery symbols on adjacent reels and next to each other, they form a Mystery Chain, and they all transform into either Money or Wild symbols. A single type of symbol is picked, so you either get a lot of Money symbols or enough wilds to form combinations.
Money symbol
With help from the Mystery Chain, you can get Money symbols in the game area, and each one will bring either a prize of 1x to 18x the stake, or a fixed jackpot ranging from the 88x Mini to the 1,888x Super Jackpot. These will all pay when they show up, so you donβt need a major feature to claim them.
Scatter symbol
There is a Scatter symbol as well in the game, and it shows with the image of a Gong and the Free Spins logo.
Free Spins
Whenever you get 3, 4, or 5 scatter symbols on the reels at the same time, the game will trigger 8, 12, or 18 free spins, respectively. In this feature, the Mystery Chain will also give you Money symbols. The feature is retriggered if you get another 3 or more scatters to appear.
Bonus Buy
Youβre looking at a game that allows you to buy access to the main feature. You can pay 44x the stake and get 8 free spins, 66x for 12 free spins, or 99x the stake for 18 free spins.

Our rating of the game
Legacy of the Sages Bonus Buy
Legacy of the Sages is an enjoyable Orient-themed slot, with good graphics that manage to look unique for this category. While highly volatile, it has an RTP of 96.14%, which is enough. The 4,041x the stake top prize doesnβt look amazing, on the other hand. I like its features, and the Mystery Chain in particular, since it pays bonus prizes and jackpots without requiring additional mechanics or features. Itβs not entirely original, but it stands out in enough ways that Iβd recommend you check it out.

How do we rate slot machines?
We evaluate slot machines based on multiple criteria, from which we make our final verdict.
Itβs an Orient-themed slot, with a focus on China, and thatβs one of the more popular types of designs these days.
The graphics are of high quality and donβt feature the same symbols as every other Chinese-themed slot.
A 96.14% RTP is pretty good, certainly enough to make this a fair release in todayβs market.
The Mystery Chain feature, while not easy to get, has excellent potential and pays immediately.
A free spins feature with guaranteed Money symbols from the Mystery Chain.
It also comes with a Bonus Buy option, so the main feature can be triggered at any point if you pay for it.
Cons
Itβs got high volatility, so itβs not a type of experience that players will find enjoyable.
Its top prize, worth 4,041x the stake, is on the lower side of whatβs expected from high volatility slots.
Over half of its regular symbols are regular Royals, so they donβt have a real connection to its story.
