Ji Xiang 8: nine squares, eight lines and a golden God of Wealth
A small 3x3 grid under a temple roof, with a gold statue watching. Two wins in the captures match the old paytable; the bigger numbers stay unchecked.
A gold statue of the God of Wealth sits to the right of the reels on a heap of coins, one hand holding a sceptre and the other a gold ingot. He takes up almost as much room as the game itself, which is just a 3x3 grid under a red temple roof with 吉祥8 (Ji Xiang 8, "lucky 8") on top.
Nine squares, eight lines
Line markers 1 to 4 run down the left of the grid, and 5 to 8 run along the bottom, under the columns. So besides the rows and diagonals, some lines seem to run top to bottom. At MYR0.01 per line the TOTAL BET box shows MYR0.08, which confirms eight.
The symbols are all good-luck items: a gold koi in a blue medallion, a red Chinese knot charm with tassels, a gold ingot, a round red lantern, a gold 福 (fu, fortune) character, a red 8 in a gold octagon, and a gold dragon head on a red disc.
What the wins confirm
This is one of the few NTC33 pages where the screenshots and the old copy actually agree. The old page said three red knots ("handkerchiefs" in its wording) pay 18 times the line bet and three 福 tiles pay 28 times. The captures show exactly that: three knots on line 1 won MYR0.18 and three 福 on line 3 won MYR0.28, both at MYR0.01 a line.
The rest of the old list climbs quickly: gold ingots, lanterns 68x, coins 88x, gold dragon coins 288x, koi 688x, lion statues 888x, and three dragons 8888x. I can't check those. I also didn't see a lion anywhere in these four captures.
This one shows dragons on all nine squares with WIN at MYR0. It looks like the game's opening screen before the first spin, not a real result, so don't read it as a dragon jackpot.
The bet bar has INFO, LINE BET with minus and plus, TOTAL BET, WIN, AUTO SPIN, TURBO MODE and SPIN.
