Happy New Year Slot

A Chinese New Year is observed in January or February and the exact date of celebrations is tied to a lunar new year in the Chinese calendar. Festivities always run for about 15 days and include dragon dances, fireworks, lantern festivals and other spectacular activities that remain unchanged for many centuries. Though all the pictures used in the game are related to the Chinese New Year, the slot has a classic layout with 3 reels, 5 paylines and no traditional fruit symbols.

The wagering options are suitable for every kind of betting preferences since you can adjust a bet in a very wide range between $1 and a hefty $125 per spin. There are three variants of Firecracker symbols that differ in color. Hitting three green, yellow or red firecrackers awards 10, 40 and 80 coins, accordingly. Besides, those symbols can create mixed combinations, for example, getting a red/red/green firecracker mix pays out a small 5 coins. Red lanterns pay out 160 coins for three of a kind.

Chinese hieroglyphs is the highest-paying symbol and this means they award you with a jackpot prize if you hit three of them on any active payline. The jackpot amount depends on the payline the hieroglyphs land. Hitting them on the central payline awards 1000 coins ($25,000 at max). From line 2 to line 4, the winnings increase by equal 200-coin increments. However, there is a disproportionate leap in the top jackpot for line 5 and three Hieroglyphs symbols pay out a huge 2400 coins ($60,000). To qualify for that massive prize, you need to activate all the five paylines.

Bonus features

The Hieroglyphs symbol is also a wild, wild multiplier, that acts as a replacement for other icons. One wild involved in a combo doubles payouts while two wilds quadruple a normal combination value.
