Chinese New Year symbols

There are many symbols present in the Chinese New Year slot machine. First of all the Wild symbol is represented by the Tiger sign, this one is easily recognizable with its animation and the word "Wild". Some may be disappointed but the different Chinese signs do not bring the same rewards at all, some are very advantageous compared to others. The Scatter symbol, represented by a Monkey, unlocks the free spins of the slot, at least 3 Scatters are required during the round.

There are 4 premium symbols and the payouts are very high compared to the common symbols. However, the rate of appearance of the premium symbols is lower. The screen below shows the 4 premium symbols: Rat, Buffalo, Rabbit and Snake with the associated payouts in coins.

The common symbols are by definition more present on the game grid, but the associated winnings will be lower. You will find the following signs: Horse, Goat, Rooster, Dog and Pig. The screen below gives you an overview of these common symbols with the equivalent payouts in coins.

The different connections in Chinese New Year

Players can select up to 15 paylines when choosing the bet to play. This may not seem like a lot for a 5-reel, 4-line grid. For a connection to occur, at least 3 of the same symbols must be on the first three reels from the left, while also being on one of the paylines.

How the Chinese New Year bonus works

There are several bonuses that can be won in the Chinese New Year slot from Play'n GO. Indeed, two scatter symbols are present. The first one being represented by the Dragon sign will allow you to win the Fireworks bonus game. Nothing very complicated, the player will have to click on one of the cannons to shoot a firework and depending on the choice made, a varied win can be won. The maximum payout for this bonus is 150 times the original bet.

Alternatively, rely on the Monkey Scatter symbol to land the free spins. With 3 Scatters, the player will win 10 free spins and immediately 5 times the starting bet. As you can see on the screen below, a wheel will be triggered to select a symbol in the game.

The selected symbol will become a "Scatter Extra" increasing the winnings, as it will serve as a Wild during your free spins. At the end of the 10 free spins, the bonus stops and you leave with the final win. Please note that it is not possible to buy the Chinese New Year slot bonus directly, you will have to wait for the Scatters to fall on the screen.

If you are not satisfied with the final win of your free spins or a nice connection during the basic game, you have the possibility to gamble this win to win 2 to 4 times the total amount of the win. To do this, you simply have to bet between the red and black color of the face down card, if you find then you win 2 times your current win, if not you lose your win. To quadruple your winnings, you must guess the exact sign of the card: spades, hearts, diamonds or clubs!
