China Shores

How it plays

Action Stacked Symbols and a Balance of Fortune choice between free games and a credit prize.

Volatility and payback

Makers do not publish volatility for casino floor machines, so Medium-High is our estimate, based on how the game is built. In plain terms: quieter base game, more weight in the bonus. It is one of 18 medium-high volatility slots in the Top 100. What medium-high volatility means.

There is no single RTP for this machine, because each casino chooses its own payback setting. Top prize: Fixed pays (no progressive on the original).

How popular it is

Its 20 most-watched YouTube videos from the past 12 months that name it in the title drew 366K views between them. Among casino floor machines it ranks number 38 of the 72 we track. Of the 2 Konami slots in our pool, it is number 2. One place ahead of it is Fortune Rabbit and one place behind is Squid Game.

The buzz score measures how much people watch a slot being played. It says nothing about how well it pays. How we rank.
