CQ9 Gaming

A Brief Look at CQ9 Gaming

CQ9 Gaming has been in the iGaming industry since 2016 but is only now becoming well-known in Western markets. The software provider, based in Taipei, Taiwan, is among Asia’s most prominent casino game developers, and now the goal is to achieve something similar across new markets. Its games are certified by Gaming Laboratories International (GLI).

Top 3 Games

As we’ve done with countless other studios we’ve reviewed, ranging from Capecod Gaming to NoLimit City, we’ve chosen our top 3 games from CQ9 Gaming. We’ve tested each slot’s free and paid versions and jointly concluded that these will prove the most popular for our readers to play.

The software provider uses a wide variety of themes and has experimented with many bonus features and mechanics. It is also known for creating slots with RTPs as high as 97.5%. Let’s start with Black Yukong, a slot game with a maximum win of 5,000x the stake.

Black Wukong

• Theme: Mythical
• 5×3 with 243 Ways to Win
• Bet Range: 60p to £150
• RTP: 95.97%
• Max Win: 5,000 x bet

One of the most popular slots in the software developer’s catalogue is Black Wukong. Featuring a mythical theme based on the Monkey King. You can play this slot across a 5×3 reel configuration with 243 ways to win.

The main attraction is the free spins bonus, with each scatter that lands awarding a prize equal to that which triggered the bonus. Black Wukong has a maximum win of 5,000x the stake and a 95.97% RTP.

Disco Night

• Theme: Music
• 5×3 with 243 Ways to Win
• Bet Range: 50p to £300
• RTP: 96.18%
• Max Win: 5,000x bet

Next, we have Disco Night. Like our previous recommendation, this slot has 243 ways to win across a 5×3 reel setup and could pay up to 5,000x the stake. Players will also appreciate a party theme accompanied by a dance-inspired soundtrack. The main bonus feature is 12 free spins with a progressive multiplier that increases 1x on every spin. Re-trigger the bonus multiple times, and that multiplier can reach up to 150x.

The Chicken House

• Theme: Animal
• 5×3 with 20 Paylines
• Bet Range: 60p to £160
• RTP: 96.09%
• Max Win: 10,000 x bet

Finally, we have The Chicken House, which instantly reminded us of Zoo Zillionaire from Blue Gem Gaming due to its similar art style. Packing a humorous farmyard theme and high-definition graphics, the Chicken House is another of the studio’s most popular games to play. That’s understandable, considering this 20-payline slot can reward up to 10,000x the stake. Wild symbols carry 2x or 3x win multipliers in the base game and will remain sticky on the reels during the free spins bonus.

Pros and Cons

Based on our observations, the game developer’s slots offer many pros and just a few cons. Overall, the games feature generous bonus options, quality visuals, and a variety of themes backed up by engaging gameplay. The main negative is that, like other newcomers to the UK scene, such as Atronic, the games do not yet feature prominently.

• A great mix of reel mechanics and configurations

• Some slots have RTPs over 97%

• The studio offers a mix of classic and modern themes

• High-quality visuals and audio
