Long Pao

Long Pao is a NetEnt pokie named after the dragon robe worn by Chinese emperors, and it draws in Australian players who prefer a clean, character led look over the usual red and gold styling. NetEnt built it around a comic book art style set in an imperial court, so the reels are stacked with stylised royals, dragons and hand drawn detail rather than stock Asian iconography. If you search for the Long Pao slot or its RTP, this page brings the verified figures together and shows the casinos that list the game, with play in AUD.

How Long Pao plays

The pokie runs on 5 reels, 3 rows and 25 fixed paylines, so every spin covers the same lines and there is nothing to toggle on or off. Its standout feature is the Sticky Win respin. When a winning combination lands, those symbols lock in place while the rest of the reels spin again, and the respins keep coming at no extra cost until no fresh win appears. The Long Pao logo is the wild and stands in for every symbol except the dragon scatter. Land enough dragon scatters and the free spins round begins, where every win is multiplied by three. It is a clean NetEnt build with no Megaways or bonus buy, which is a big part of its appeal.

Long Pao RTP, volatility and max win

Long Pao has a published RTP of 96.96 percent, comfortably above the average for online pokies. NetEnt rates the variance in the low to medium band, so wins tend to land at a steady pace rather than in rare, huge bursts, and the Sticky Win respins keep the reels busy. The top payout is capped at 700 times your stake. It is a measured ceiling that suits the game's relaxed pace. Knowing the RTP and the max win as a multiple of your bet lets you judge the pokie honestly before you spin.

Playing Long Pao in Australia

Long Pao is available at online casinos that accept Australian players, with balances and bets handled in Australian dollars. It is worth being clear about the law here. Under the Interactive Gambling Act 2001, online casino games and pokies cannot be licensed for or advertised to Australians, so any casino offering real money play is licensed offshore rather than in Australia. This page is not a claim that such play is locally regulated. You can still try Long Pao in free demo mode, with no account and no deposit, which sits outside those restrictions and lets you see the game before deciding anything.

Is Long Pao worth playing?

Long Pao is worth a look if you want a NetEnt pokie with a distinctive art style, a genuinely useful respin feature and an RTP on the generous side. It will not suit anyone chasing extreme top end volatility, since the 700 times cap and the low to medium variance keep things measured. As a well made, easygoing pokie it holds up well.
