Feeling jaded? Try out some beautiful spins with this fresh slot machine by GameArt software.
Jade Treasure is an Asian-themed game that is all about the mesmerising precious stone that is heralded as having much more significance in Chinese culture than simple monetary value.
This 5-reel, 25-payline slot machine does promise plenty of prize-winning action, offering total bet wins worth up to 50x on every spin, although the low betting range does limit the wins to relatively small value. Nevertheless, this video slot has a bit of bonus gameplay in store for lucky punters, including free spins with extra wilds.

The Power of Jade

To the majority of the Western world, jade is nothing more than a pretty gemstone. The milky green rock has much more worth in Chinese culture, however, having been considered as one of the most valuable and rarest stones in the world, almost comparable to diamonds in the Occident.
It is no surprise that the material was used to denote the wealth and power of Chinese Emperors for centuries, be it through ornamental objects, decorative jewellery or even burial suits.
Not only is this gemstone a symbol of status in China, but it also has a deeper spiritual meaning for eastern religion. Jade in bi form – that is shaped in a circle with a hole in the middle – is considered to be the representation of heaven and eternity.
And this belief isn't just confined to the annals of Ancient philosophy, because the symbolism remains strong in modern China. Did you know every medal at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games was decorated with a disc of jade on the back? We wonder if they adorned the medals from London 2012 with something equally valuable, precious and significant to British Culture? A (probably gloomy) weather forecast? Polite instructions on how to make the perfect cup of tea? Scratch and sniff fish and chips?
