Today is Chinese New Year - Gong Hey Fat Choy! To celebrate this special day, we’ve put together a list of the most popular online slots games that are based on the Chinese New Year holiday.
Lucky Firecracker
Lucky Firecracker is a new online slots game from Microgaming, which was released just in time for Chinese New Year. This game features a 243 Ways to Win format, which means that there are no paylines for players to wager on individually. Instead, the player makes one wager on the entire set of reels to trigger all potential ways to win.
The symbols include lucky coin, firecrackers, lanterns and many other vibrant motifs that are associated with the Chinese New Year celebration.
Gung Pow
Gung Pow is another Chinese New Year slots game from Microgaming. It features quite a similar look to Lucky Firecracker, with symbols that include coins, fireworks, sparklers and lanterns. It is also a 243 Ways to Win game, offering players plenty of winning potential.
It features wild symbols, scatter symbols and a free spins round. If we’re honest, we’re not entirely sure that we would be able to tell it apart from the Lucky Firecracker slots game.
Chinese New Year (Play’n Go)
Chinese New Year is an online slots game from Play’n Go. This game focuses on the different animals of the Chinese zodiac. As such, symbols include: horses, pigs, rabbits, mice, roosters, goats, dogs, tigers, dragons, monkeys and snakes. With a wide range of characters, the look of the game is very busy and engaging, offering players a fun gaming experience.
The wild symbol is the tiger, which substitutes for other symbols in order to create winning combinations. If multiple tigers are part of the same winning combination, then players can win up to 5000 coins.
The dragon is the bonus symbol. When three dragons appear on the reels, they trigger the bonus game. During this round, the player shoots off fireworks to award generous prizes. There is also a free spins round that features an extra scatter symbol.
Chinese New Year (OpenBet)
Chinese New Year from OpenBet is quite similar to Chinese New Year from Play’N – as this title also features the Chinese zodiac as symbols. There are relatively few bonus features available, as wilds and scatters are the only way to win bonus cash. While the graphics may not be particularly great, the game does offer up fantastic winning potential. There are three progressive jackpot prizes available, which certainly makes it worth playing.
