If you enjoy the excitement that the Chinese New Year brings, well give this slot a few spins or more. Happy New Year is a 3 reel, 5 payline classic slot. This slot does not only offer big bangs at the stroke of midnight but also offers the player a wild symbol, multiplier and a total jackpot win of up to 2,400 coins.

You may want a change from the modern video slot, so by playing this slot you will be doing yourself a favour. At first glance you may think it is confusing with all the Chinese writing symbols, but look closely and it’s the same writing (I guess it says Happy New Year?), but it really is rewarding once you have a spin. The sounds or background music is nothing special, but to some this is a bonus as you are not interrupted with over powering music. The subtle sound effects do add to the Chinese theme. You will be spinning the reels to the usual Chinese New Year symbols like, lanterns, fire crackers and Chinese writing. Although a New Year Dragon symbol would have been good to add. Overall the game does not overload the player with too many symbols to work out.

This slot offers another incentive, if you spin up any combination/colour of the fire cracker symbols on a payline, this will be a winning combination. The great part about the way this game has been created is that no space on your screen is wasted. All the paytable information you need to know about this slot is on the one screen.

Wild Symbol:

Keep your eye out for the Chinese writing symbol. This is the wild symbol of the game and will substitute for any symbols on a payline to make a winning combination. If one of these symbols are substituting, your winnings are doubled and if 2 symbols are substituting, then your winnings are quadrupled.
