This 5-reel 15-line slot is saturated with tranquility, calmness and serenity of the Orient. The symbols running downwards are placed in front of a pastoral mountain landscape that adds to the relaxed vibe, especially if activating the autospin feature. Feature-wise, the game is considered to be fairly basic, with only a wild, a scatter, free spins and a pick-to-win style bonus game. Betting options are the number of paylines, the number of coins (1–5) and a coin size (up to $1) so the lowest and highest possible bets are $0.15 and $75 per spin, a quite reasonable range, by the way.

The paytable is moderate in its winning amounts: playing card symbols pay x2 to x125, all for three to five of a kind, and themed icons (a purple, orange and red lantern) award x15 to x500, or $2500 at the maximum bet.

Bonus features

Serenity has three special symbols. Let’s start with a wild symbol represented by the word ‘WILD’ against an abstract design. It is a usual substitute without any additional perks. But its unmatched advantage is that five of them award x7500 (up to $37,500), the highest prize for the slot.

A scatter completes combinations if two or more land anywhere on the screen. This is the second most profitable symbol that pays the maximum of $30,000 for five. Three scatters initiate 10 free spins, during which the winning amounts get tripled. The feature can be retriggered from within itself.

Another feature that activates with surprising frequency is a Lantern Bonus game. To get there, you need to see three bonus symbols left to right like regular symbols. The bonus is simple; on the second screen you are to choose 3–5 of 12 lanterns. Each object reveals a random coin award and you can end up with $2500 on your pocket.
