Chinese New Year isn't just a cause for celebration but a time for well wishes for the future too. This slot is based upon the festival with the hope of bringing wealth and fortune to all those who play it; we're not saying that's a certainty but the inclusion on wilds, scatters and free spins will certainly make things more interesting.
Year of Fortune Theme
You can tell right away that this slot is based around a time for celebration, namely new year, because rows of brightly colored lanterns can be seen above the reels. You'll also notice a plethora of Chinese themed icons on the reels.
Jade lions are considered to be extremely lucky which is why we were so pleased to find them as reel icons. Other designs include dragons, golden oxen, firecrackers, temples, several different 8 logos and the God of Wealth.
The visual elements are further enhanced by the inclusion of several bespoke sound effects. Chinese New Year certainly does look like an exciting time.
Betting Options and More Functions
There isn't an option to change lines which means 25 are played with every spin. You can change coin values though which means total bets range from 0.25 to $125 per spin, which in our opinion should be plenty enough options for all but penny slot players.
Year of Fortune Slot Features
The golden ox can appear on reels 2, 3 or 4 and is capable of counting as any other regular icon to create wins double to standard value. This means only the year of the ox logo is excluded, which isn't too much bother because it brings its own feature too.
Three or more 'year of the ox' icons will award 8 free spins. The impressive thing here is that 88 paylines, instead of the maximum 25, will be in play which means even more chances to win.
Look out for the God of Wealth icon too because five of this icon on any active payline will award the slots jackpot.
Our Take on Year of Fortune
Chinese themed slots have always been popular, especially ones which are deemed to be 'lucky'. For this basis alone we think Year of Fortune will be popular, plus there's the fact that a progressive jackpot is available too. With a little luck it'll be one of our readers to pick it up, fingers crossed ;-).
