Mahjong X is a Sweet Bonanza clone that is based on the popular, tile-driven board game Mahjong. It’s a game that is very popular in the Eastern parts of the globe, so we are guessing that Pragmatic Play may have created it to primarily tap into the fast growing Oriental online slots market. The Chinese background, dragons and pagodas kind of feed into that thought, too.

Mahjong X RTP

You may or may not be aware that Mahjong X is offered with two possible Return To Player levels: 96.60% and 95.50%.

The difference in average payout between the lowest and highest RTP settings is just over 1%.

Advantages of playing Mahjong X with a high RTP

While a 1% difference in Return to Player may not seem like a lot, we will show that playing a higher payout version of Mahjong X will significantly increase your chances of winning; you get more spins and prolong your entertainment time.

To illustrate the effect of a higher RTP compared to a lower RTP, we have made some calculations. In the following table, we show how many spins you will theoretically get to play before your money runs out, based on a starting balance of €/£/$/100 and a stake of €/£/$/1 per spin.

RTP	Number of spins
96.60%	2,911
95.50%	2,200

As you can see the 96.60% highest RTP version of Mahjong X will, theoretically, give you 711 more spins than the 95.50% RTP version before your money runs out. That’s over 700 more chances to land the max win.

Gameplay and features

The game is played on a six-reel, 5-row grid. The minimum and maximum bet are at $/€0.20 and $/€125, respectively. An ante bet of 25% doubles your chances of triggering the free spins bonus.

Winning combinations are made by eight or more of the same symbol, scattered on the reels.

More scattered symbols lead to bigger pays, with 40 times the stake awarded when you hit 12 or more of the best-paying symbol.

Winning symbols disappear to make room for new symbols, leading to chain reactions. On top that, you may land mystery multipliers of up to x100), which are applied to the total win of that cascade.

Other features include:

• Medium to high variance.
• Four or more scattered bonus symbols trigger the free spins bonus, which awards ten free spins.
• Free spins may be retriggerd by landing three scatters, for five extra free spins.
• Multipliers are more likely to hit during the free spins.

Mahjong X Bonus Buy

The Buy a Bonus option costs 100 times the stake.

What is the max win on the Mahjong X slot?

The official maximum win on Mahjong X is 21,100 times the stake but truth be told, we have never seen proof of this figure on Youtube, Twitch, or any other streaming platform.

CasinoWizard’s verdict: 3 out of 5 stars

Mahjong X was not designed to be anything other than another version of Sweet Bonanza, tailored to the huge Asian markets.

We are confident it will do well in some countries, but it won’t make too much of an impact in countries where playing Mahjong is not part of everyday routine.
