Flirting Scholar

Slot Overview

Flirting Scholar is a 5 × 3 video slot with 20 fixed paylines from PG SOFT. The game takes inspiration from the Ming-dynasty poet Tang Bohu, mixing light-hearted caricature art with a pick-and-choose free-spin concept. Its headline numbers are an RTP of 97.44 % and medium volatility, two elements that place it in a statistically generous corner of the market.

The title runs natively in JS/HTML5, meaning quick load times and full touch support across iOS, Android and desktop browsers.

Maths Model: What the Numbers Mean

• RTP 97.44 % – comfortably above the 96 % industry average. Always confirm in the in-game paytable, as multiple RTP versions can exist.
• Medium volatility – expect a balance between smaller, more frequent line wins and the occasional spike when modifiers kick in. Bankrolls should last longer than in high-variance PG Soft titles such as Mahjong Ways 2.
• Max advertised win ×22 500 – this figure comes from PG SOFT marketing materials. Third-party testers have simulated top hits closer to ×1 400. Until an official proof-of-payout is published, treat the ×22 500 as theoretical.

Pay Symbols

Character portraits sit at the premium end, followed by a folding fan and scroll. Five-of-a-kind premiums return 7.5 – 15 × your stake, while stylised card ranks (A – 10) cover the low tier. Wilds substitute for all pay symbols and can gain extra powers during free spins, outlined below.

Free Spins & Bride Modifiers

The slot’s main event starts when 3 to 5 scatter symbols appear anywhere in view, awarding 5 base free spins plus a chance to select modifiers – each represented by one of Tang Bohu’s potential brides:

• Remove all low-pay symbols
• Turn the entire middle reel wild
• Add three roaming wilds that change position every spin
• Apply a ×3 win multiplier
• Grant 10 extra free spins

The number of brides you may choose equals the number of triggering scatters (2 choices for 3 scatters, 3 for 4 scatters, full 5 if you land 5). Combining low-symbol removal with roaming wilds is the most pragmatic approach, but landing all five upgrades can turn the feature into a short-burst value spike.

Mobile Experience

PG SOFT built its brand on portrait-first usability, and Flirting Scholar is no exception. Menus slide in with thumb-friendly buttons, the spin key can be dragged to enable turbo, and paytable pages resize cleanly on smaller screens. Audio remains crisp without noticeable compression artefacts.

Pros & Cons at a Glance

• Exceptionally high stated RTP of 97.44 %
• Select-your-modifier free spins keeps replay value high
• Smooth 3D animations optimised for portrait play
• Marketing max-win claim (×22 500) appears uncorroborated
• Comedy art style may feel niche outside Asian-cinema fans

Responsible Play Reminder

Flirting Scholar, like all casino games, is designed for players aged 18 +. Treat every spin as paid entertainment; never chase losses and always set a budget that fits your disposable income.

Verdict

For players who value a high published RTP and interactive bonus rounds, Flirting Scholar is worth short-listing. The humour and artistic direction won’t speak to everyone, but the maths model offers a steadier ride than many PG SOFT high-variance releases while still dangling sizeable theoretical upside. Just remember: check the paytable version running at your chosen casino and treat top-end win figures with healthy scepticism.
