BetSoft has just released its new online slot game, 4 Seasons. It is the developer’s first release of 2016, and we are very excited to see what BetSoft has in store for the online casino market this year.
Theme
4 Seasons has a Chinese Zodiac theme that also reflects the changing of the seasons. This is quite common in the online casino world, but BetSoft does something different with it. Normally, the theme is only reflected in the design of the symbols, but BetSoft ensures that all aspects of the game are representative of the theme.
In fact, every 90 spins, the game’s design changes. The background animations transition to a new season, which a unique feature we haven’t seen before from other slots.
The bonus features also do a great job of conveying the theme – but, more on those later.
Graphics
The overall look of 4 Seasons is quite stunning. The graphics are vibrant, with each zodiac animal being animated with cute illustrations and they come to life whenever they are involved in winning combinations. The background of the game is also very beautiful, depicting a flowing waterfall, mountains and bonsai trees – and, their aesthetic transforms with the changing of the seasons.
Seasonal Wheel
Just like the zodiac animal changes with each passing year, they also change with every spin of the reels in 4 Seasons. After 30 spins, the Seasonal Wheel will activate. It will spin to reveal a new golden animal, which offers up a 10x payout. Two other symbols will award a 5x payout and four others will award a 2x payout.
This bonus feature is truly unique, as we have not seen anything quite like it before. It is not common for the actual value of symbols to change throughout the game, and this really keeps players on their toes.
Block Wins
The symbols can appear in stacks and blocks, which help to increase players winning potential – and, their overall winnings! The following multipliers are available from block wins:
- 2x multiplier: 2-reel block combo
- 3x multiplier: 3-reel block combo
- 5x multiplier: 4-reel block combo
- 10x multiplier: 5-reel block combo
Free Spins When three or more yin yang symbols appear on the reels, the player will trigger the free spins bonus. Up to 20 free spins can be won, during which the active golden and silver animals continue to offer up their multiplied payouts. There is also the possibility to re-trigger the round for even more free spins.
Our Verdict
You should absolutely put 4 Seasons on your “To Play” list. It is a truly unique online slots title that is sure to impress and engage.
