The spirits of fortune have been unleashed in the United States! FBM® kicked-off 2025 in dramatic fashion by installing the Jí Hǎo Link™ Spirits slot games at Hialeah Park Casino in Miami. Golden Lóng™ Spirits and Eternal Fènghuáng™ Spirits bring exciting game experiences to this market with the Spirits feature, offering players entertaining and long-lasting gaming sessions full of thrills. 

New year is a synonym of new gaming offers available for FBM’s slot fans in the United States. The global gaming brand keeps diversifying its portfolio and taking solid steps toward the sustainable growth of its operation in the US.
The immortal phoenix and the mystical dragon are the protagonists on the Jí Hǎo Link™ Spirits gaming experience, where each flight can swiftly turn into a memorable round.

SPIRITS FLIGHTS BRING EXTRA THRILLS TO THE REELS

With the launch of Golden Lóng™ Spirits and Eternal Fènghuáng™ Spirits, FBM presents an evolution of the gaming experience offered by Jí Hǎo Link™, designed to entice players seeking thrilling gaming sessions.

The Spirits feature can happen anytime players get a special coin during a game round, whether in the main game or free spins. In the transition for the Spirits moment, the coin sticks its position, and the game awards the players three free Spirits “flights”.

Each flight can bring three possible rewards: yellow Extra Coins displaying numeric prizes, Spirits green coins drawing a big win, and Jackpot red coins allowing players to collect a Mini, Minor, Major or Grand jackpot.

Available to play on the Auria and Galaxy II cabinets, the Jí Hǎo Link™ Spirits slots also have Luck Has Arrived as a common feature anticipating direct access to free spins or a big win, and Triple Wild and Wild Multiplier as game features for Eternal Fènghuáng™ Spirits and Golden Lóng Spirits, respectively.
