Jili's Way of the Qilin is the latest entry in the eastern-mythology line that already includes Fortune Gems, Crazy 777, and Charge Buffalo — and at HATV the title benches in line with the family's published 96.50% RTP, with a multi-multiplier free game engine that gives it a different ceiling than its siblings.

What the numbers mean
The 96.50% RTP places Way of the Qilin tied with Charge Buffalo and slightly below Crazy 777 (97.01%). Within the Jili eastern-mythology line, that puts it in the middle of the bench — not the highest-edge title, but inside the band Filipino players already know from Fortune Gems and Boxing King.
The 1,500× ceiling is conservative for a Jili title. Compare:
| Title | Ceiling | RTP | Volatility |
|---|---|---|---|
| Way of the Qilin | 1,500× | 96.50% | Medium-high |
| Fortune Gems | 1,000× | 96.50% | Medium |
| Charge Buffalo | 5,000× | 96.50% | High |
| Crazy 777 | 4,000× | 97.01% | Medium |
| Boxing King | 5,000× | 96.75% | High |
Conservative ceiling, mid-band volatility, and a multiplier-driven free game — that combination is closer to Fortune Gems than to Charge Buffalo. Players who wait out the free game rounds on Fortune Gems will recognize the cadence here.
The multi-multiplier free game engine
Way of the Qilin's free game tier is its identifying feature. Three Qilin Scatter symbols trigger 8 free games. Each free game advances the multiplier on the win meter:
- Free games 1–2: 1× win multiplier
- Free games 3–4: 2× win multiplier
- Free games 5–6: 3× win multiplier
- Free games 7–8: 5× win multiplier
The escalating multiplier means the back half of any free-game round carries far more weight than the front half. A win on free game 7 with the 5× multiplier delivers the same payout as five identical wins in the base game.
Pre-bench verdict for HATV readers
HATV's pre-bench position on Way of the Qilin: it is a competent Jili title, not a category-redefining one. For players already at home in the Jili eastern-mythology line, this fits the same bench rotation as Fortune Gems and Charge Buffalo — same provider math, same wild mechanic family, slightly different multiplier curve.
For players choosing between Way of the Qilin and another Jili title at the same RTP:
- Want the highest ceiling? Charge Buffalo at 5,000× wins on raw cap.
- Want the most consistent low-variance grind? Fortune Gems at 1,000× ceiling but tighter variance.
- Want the Qilin multiplier curve specifically? Way of the Qilin is the only Jili title carrying the 1×→5× progressive structure.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: 96.50% RTP confirmed against Jili's published spec. Multi-multiplier free game adds genuine structural variance (back-half weighting). Sits cleanly inside the Jili family — no relearning needed for Fortune Gems or Charge Buffalo players.
- Cons: 1,500× ceiling is conservative versus Charge Buffalo or Boxing King at 5,000×. The 8-free-game count is short; if the trigger lands and the back half whiffs, the full round can close below 50× total payout.
FAQ
Is Way of the Qilin a sequel to Fortune Gems?
No. Same provider (Jili), same eastern-mythology family, but separate title with its own reel set and free-game progressive multiplier. Fortune Gems uses a fixed multiplier on free games; Way of the Qilin uses a progressive 1×→5× curve.
What does the Qilin Wild substitute for?
All symbols except the Scatter. The Wild itself does not carry a multiplier — the multiplier on Way of the Qilin is held on the round-level meter, not on individual symbols.
Will HATV bench this title fully?
Yes — a full multi-thousand-spin bench is queued. This piece is the pre-bench provider-spec read; the bench results will append to HATV's Jili family registry once complete.
Can I play Way of the Qilin on mobile?
Yes. Jili's titles are mobile-first; the layout works on portrait phone screens and the 25-payline grid renders without horizontal scroll on any standard 6-inch+ phone.
