Habanero based The Koi Gate on the old legend of a koi that leapt a waterfall and became a dragon, and both creatures turn up on its reels as wilds. Its 18 paylines pay from either side of the 5x3 grid, and any spin that lands a Koi is followed by a respin.
Game mechanics
Eighteen paylines run over the 5x3 grid, and a run of matching symbols counts whether it starts on the far left reel or the far right one. Habanero rates the game high volatility and puts its maximum multiplier at 480x. The Koi is an expanding wild that appears on reels 2, 3 and 4, and the Dragon is a second wild. A spin that lands a Koi awards one respin, and there is no cap: the respins go on for as long as a Koi keeps showing up.
Features
- Two-way paylines. All 18 lines are read from the left and from the right.
- Koi and Dragon wilds. The Koi lands on reels 2, 3 and 4 and expands; the Dragon is an extra wild alongside it.
- Uncapped Koi respins. A Koi landing brings a respin, and the chain has no limit while Koi symbols keep arriving.
Why The Koi Gate has five RTP settings
Habanero's website lists five RTP settings for The Koi Gate: about 86%, 92%, 94%, 96% and 98%. Each version keeps the name and artwork, with the maths tuned to a different long-run return. The casino picks which one it runs, within any minimum its regulator sets. Studios say they offer several because markets differ: minimums vary between regulators, and casinos weigh taxes, margins and commercial terms. A higher setting does not guarantee a profit, and a short session can finish up or down either way. This demo uses virtual credits: nothing is deposited, withdrawn or paid out, so the setting has no financial effect.

How to play the free demo
- Before the first spin of The Koi Gate demo, remember that its 18 lines pay from both ends, so the right-hand reels matter as much as the left.
- Look for the Koi on the middle three reels. It is an expanding wild, and it also sets off a respin.
- If a Koi lands during a respin, another respin follows; the sequence stops only when a respin passes without one.
- Count the Dragon in any line you are checking, because it is a wild too.
Why try the The Koi Gate demo
A single Koi starts a respin chain in The Koi Gate, and each respin that lands another Koi extends it, with no ceiling on how long it runs. Record how many respins each chain reaches and what the expanding Koi wilds add on the 18 two-way lines along the way.
