Finally, the Kingdom of Heaven option will give you the least amount of free spins at only 8. However, this option will give you the highest multiplier of 5x your wins.

You can also retrigger your free spins by getting three or more Sun Wukong logos to appear during the free spins round for a total of either 16 free spins with a 5x multiplier or 40 free spinswith a 2x multiplier.
