Year of Fortune Slots

This Year of Fortune slot, developed by Real Time Gaming, is named after the Chinese New Year and presents a vast array of festive symbols and designs throughout the board. The board is framed with colorful lanterns reflecting against the beautiful and clear water. In the background is a bridge of serenity. I loved the vibrant colors of the symbols on this board! Whether you celebrate the Chinese New Year or don't, you might enjoy this game. I loved this exotic cultural experience. The minimum coin size is $0.01 and the maximum is $5 per line across the 25 paylines, making the maximum bet $125 for the entire board. The symbols include a luminous blue dragon, the God of Wealth, the Year of the Ox logo, a radiant golden ox, a mystical green dragon, coins, a beautiful lantern, and lucky 8s (a number in Chinese culture considered to be good fortune).

Format and Game Layout

I thought this game was easy to use. Your total balance is available at the top of the screen on the left side. In the middle of the screen at the top is your total bet, which is the sum across all paylines. On the right side is a little red window that displays your winnings. Turn your attention to the lower part of the screen for the navigation buttons. On the furthermost left is a red button where you can pause the auto spin feature. In the middle of the bottom of the screen, you can adjust your bet, either increasing or decreasing it using the arrows on either side. The last major button on the right side is the manual spin button. There are also other smaller buttons located at the very bottom of the screen, which provide options for displaying your balance, the cashier, the menu, the help, and the back button. Most of these are self-explanatory, but the help button will be useful if you get confused at any point while playing this colorful and visually stunning slot.

The Wilds, Scatters, And More

The majestic golden ox, one of my favorite symbols, is also one of the most valuable. It serves as the wild symbol and substitutes for all other symbols except the Year of the Ox scatter symbol and the God of Wealth symbols. The Year of the Ox appears only on reels 2, 3, and 4. When you're lucky enough to trigger 3 or more scatter symbols on the reels, you'll win eight free games. Each golden ox that appears during the free games will double your win. Additional free games can be won during this feature, and all free games are played at the bet amount of the initial triggering spin.
