CHINESE NEW YEAR THEME – ALL ABOUT THE CHINESE ZODIAC
Before sitting down to write this Chinese New Year slot review, we decided to find out what animals were associated with our years of birth. Turns out I am a pig and my colleagues range from dogs to horses – but what does any of this mean?
The Chinese New Year is one of the most important events in the Asian calendar each year, and this Play’n GO slot really brings out the essence of this celebration, where each year is dedicated to a different animal on the wheel. At the time of writing, 2022 happens to be the Year of the Tiger for instance.
CHINESE NEW YEAR BONUS FEATURES
Because 2022 is also the year Chinese New Year slot was launched, the Tiger
happens to be your Wild symbols on the reels and will
replace for all other regular symbols any time there’s the chance to do so.
It also happens to be your most expensive slot symbol as we’ll see in the
section below.
The Dragon symbol is your Bonus symbol and landing three
of a kind in any position on the reels will trigger the Bonus Game that offers the chance to win up to 150x your
total bet during this time. Here, you’ll be able to take your pick amongst
five Firecrackers in order to reveal whether you’ll be receiving an instant
win, or returning to the base game empty handed.
The Monkey Symbol is your Scatter in Chinese New Year
online slot, and landing three of a kind on the reels will pay 5x your
total bet while activating the Free Spins feature. Here,
you’ll get to spin the wheel made up of various animals to reveal the
number of free spins available during this time. During the free spins
you’ll also be awarded an Extra Scatter that’s active
during this time and will take on the form of whatever animal you happened
to land when spinning the wheel. Extra Scatters pay in any position on the
reels.
