See in the New Year with a bang in this Festival of Fortune slot. Packed with icons to bring you good fortune and good luck, the bold red and gold colour scheme promises happiness and wealth and is enhanced by neon bright royals.

Lanterns symbolise a bright future.

Drums are played in celebration and to banish evil spirits.

Feng shui coins promise great fortune.

Red envelopes or hongbao are gifts of money that are one of the most ancient traditions at New Year.

Firecrackers are set off to avoid misfortune and bring good luck.

This slot wraps everything up in an appropriately atmospheric soundtrack using traditional Chinese instruments.

Festival of Fortune Bonus Features

This is a classic slot with base game wilds and a free spins feature. Both use the Mystery Replace feature to boost your bankroll.

Fortune Wild

Land 3, 4 or 5 of the wild pictogram symbols to earn an instant prize that’s 100x, 250x or 1,000x your stake. The wild replaces any symbol except the Lucky Lion Bonus.

Lucky Lion Bonus

Look out for the happy dancing lion bonus to trigger the free spins round.

3 or more will trigger free spins and it's possible to get 15 bonus symbols through the Mystery Replace feature. You’ll start with 15 free spins but more can be added throughout the feature.

During free spins, more bonus symbols can appear and they’ll trigger additional spins with one spin awarded for every bonus symbol when you land 3 or more. For example:

- If 3 land on the reels, an extra 3 free spins are awarded
- If 10 land on the reels, an extra 10 free spins are awarded

Mystery Replace Feature

The ? symbol is the most powerful in the game and just one can trigger the Mystery Replace feature.

When the feature triggers, any ? can be transformed into any symbol including the Bonus symbol.

Festival of Fortune Review

If you want to celebrate Chinese New Year, then you could do worse than try a few spins on Festival of Fortune. The sumptuous visuals breathe new life into a tired theme and the animations and soundtrack immerse you in the theme.

The basic rewards are quite impressive, with a 1,000x multiplier on offer when you land 5 wilds, and the action is fast and furious. There are plenty of ways to win for a big celebration.

Pragmatic Play’s Caishen's Gold slot has a similar theme and gameplay with 4 progressive jackpots.
