We couldn’t name all 12 animals associated with the Chinese New Year. Fortunately, we only need to know about one in this entertaining game from Genesis Gaming Slots. This is all about the Year of the Rooster, so you can expect to see the rooster itself crowing on the reels as you play.
The Chinese theme is beautifully presented here, with Chinese lanterns, bamboo, and much more making an appearance. What else should you expect to see as you play?
Reels and lines
With five reels in action, you would expect a fair few paylines in play. However, we have 243 ways to win here instead.
What could you bet on Year of the Rooster slots?
With way wins in place here, your bets go from 25 cents per spin up to $50 per spin at most.
Does the game have special symbols?
The scatter is a Chinese symbol in gold – perhaps the correct symbol to represent the title of the game? There is a wild too, also shown in gold as a selection of Chinese coins held together with red ribbon. These coins will replace all but the scatter.
Are there bonuses to trigger?
Three, four, or five of the Chinese symbols will produce eight, 15, or 20 free games to play. Whenever wild coins appear in these games, they will display a multiplier of either 2x or 3x. Those wilds can only show up on the central three reels. However, if you get several multipliers in view, the values multiply by each other. The best you could get would be a 27x multiplier.
The games can be retriggered too. You also get the chance to score another five free games for just two scatters in a spin.
