Win Sum Dim Sum Pokie Review
Win Sum Dim Sum is a Microgaming pokie machine, with a design which is partially inspired by the popular Chinese dish called Dim Sum. It’s part of the traditional Cantonese cuisine and it is usually offered in small portions, bite-sized and easy to eat.
The entire game is inspired by Chinese food, and it is a good choice for a pokie machine, especially given the fact that this theme is not often used by the industry. Regular Western cuisine or Chinese pokie machines with a focus on the country’s culture are much more common.
Developer
The news that Microgaming is the company behind this pokie machine should be good news for most players, since they have the experience to handle pretty much any game, and make it extremely entertaining.
It’s not the case with all of them though, and Win Sum Dim Sum seems to be the kind of game which might just bore you a little bit. That’s no reason to skip Microgaming’s titles though, they have hundreds of them and many are excellent.
How To Play It
You get to pick the number of lines, coins and the denominations. You can spend just $0.01 for one spin, or you can take it to a considerably higher value.
The rewards should be quite good, and in fact payouts of up to $75,000 are advertised. To access all the betting options, click on Bet, or use the buttons located on both sides of the bet amount.
The interface is a standard one for Microgaming, especially in recent pokies they’ve launched, with the betting options hidden to give the player less to worry about.
The design is the one that’s disappointing. You have the symbols with Chinese foods on them, but you also have poker cards of various colors and with little to offer when it comes to their looks.

Special Features
The game’s wild symbols appear regular sized on the reels 1, 2, 4 and 5, while on the 3rd reel you can expect them to show up and take over the entire column, expanding on it. Both types of wilds work the same way and have the same image with the Dim Sum containers and the game logo. They can substitute for all the regular symbols, but not for the scatters.
A scatter symbol is great to have on your reels because it’s not important in what position it lands. You just need at least three of them, in random positions, and you get your 15 free spins.
The pokie also offers the player more expanding wilds during these free spins. You have regular wilds on the reels 1 and 5, while the reels 2, 3 and 4 get expanding versions, which should be much more useful.
Maximum Payouts
The top prize here goes to values of up to $75,000, so I’d expect a decent return on an investment, as long as you keep in mind that the game will probably be high variance, with wins coming only from time to time.
Summary
It’s not the most interesting game you will ever see, not even close. It’s average feature wise, it’s quite bad when it comes to the design and it does well only with its top prizes. I’ll leave it to you and your general interest in Chinese cuisine to decide whether it’s worth pursuing.
