Detailed review about Happy New Year Slot

Happy New YearThe Lunar New Year is the principal holiday in China. This is a vibrant and flashy celebration marking the passing of winter and the start of springtime. Naturally, it is celebrated as a homecoming social gathering between friends and closed family reunions. Relatives cluster joyfully for the annual dinner.

Customarily every house is thoroughly cleaned, believing this will scrub off the last year’s ill-fortunes and make an entrance for some good luck, inviting the positive spirits. Out in the open, it involves lavish and cheerful fireworks, which will illuminate the sky with brilliant colours and glow.

This is one super simple old-fashioned game, one of those which contains the playing field, paytable, setup, and instructions, all in one place. 3 reels, 5 pay lines, and low theoretical RTP (just 95.75%), plus Medium Volatility and a maximum prospect of 2400 coins in a single spin, are the technical attributes of the slot.

Personal testers’ opinion about Happy New Year slot

The game is so basic in graphics and sounds that it can quickly become boring. For example, the Happy New Year (game logo in the Chinese language) substitutes all other symbols. If 3 Wilds are present on the screen, they hold some top-paid horizontal and diagonal formations. Also, the slot pays x2, when 1 Wild is present in a winning line with other symbols, or x4 when 2 Wilds appear on a winning line with 1 other symbol.

There are no Free Spins or any additional bonuses. During the tests, most of our sessions ended up with total balance depletion. We did register some good results (the maximum being 348x the total bets), but in most cases, after a significant payout, the slot gulped it back in a flash. This was the evidence that the only technique, which can have some success is the Hit and Run action. The game scored 5.68 (out of 10) points on the wagering scale, which in combination with the poor RTP, makes us leave neutral recommendations for playing with bonus money and real money deposits.
