Symbols and Basics
This game is played on a five reel grid with three rows of symbols. It also features 243 different playable lines, and wins count starting from the leftmost side. There are scatter symbols, wild symbols and regular symbols. The higher paying regular symbols are often referred to as premium symbols, and the highest paying premium symbol on this game grid is worth 6.00 for a match of five, and is represented by a Chinese dragonhead. The second highest paying premium symbol is an otherworldly looking frog, who pays out 5.00 for a match of five. The third highest paying symbol is my favorite design wise and is represented by a Chinese white cat. After that, other symbols include a golden bowl, a lucky coral fish, a Chinese book and of course a male and a female probably in the middle of celebrating the Chinese New Year. Their animations are a bit cartoonish, but also match the mysticism found on the other symbols. The lowest paying symbols are the lanterns and kites. You won't find any of the typical card suit symbols or letter symbols on this game grid. Instead, they used every symbol effectively design wise.
Special Features
You probably remember the scatters and wild symbols I just mentioned! Well, these symbols can be very helpful. First things first, the scatter symbols are not required to fall on a single pay line to pay out wins. The scatter symbol is the flower symbol, and if three or more of these scatters land it'll trigger the Lucky Ox prize wheel. You can spin the prize wheel and you'll either win one of the three available jackpots, free spins or multiplier prizes. Five scatters will award you fifteen free spins, while four will award you eight and three will give you five free spins. The wild symbol is the lucky ox head himself and he can replace any other symbol to form winning combinations. The only catch is a wild symbol cannot substitute for a scatter symbol, which is common in the online slot industry. This celebratory slot's beautiful, culturally inspired artwork combined with its special features give this game an edge over other Chinese New Year-themed slots.
