Harvest Fest Slot
Reap some big wins with Harvest Fest, and orientally themed slot machine by Booming Games software.
This 5-reel slot machine with 25 paylines promises a healthy yield of wins with its 10,000x line bet multiplier jackpot, not to mention the fact that it offers free spins and wild wins that are worth double the value of normal wins. Other than that, there isn't anything particularly out of the usual with no special bonus games or progressive jackpot payouts to speak of.
The Joy of the Harvest
Harvest Fest is a 5-reel slot machine that celebrates the joy of harvest time from a Chinese perspective. Us Brits may think of earthy vegetables, muddy farmers and colder days when we think of the harvest season, but the period of prime cultivation is very different in the East of Asia. In fact, the Chinese people go all out at harvest time to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival by lighting lanterns and eating mooncakes with their loved ones.
Spinners of this slot machine will get a taste for the celebrations with an array of symbols that depict all of the key ingredients of the festival, including a couple of animal icons. The first of these is a timid little rabbit, a significant symbol for the time of harvest due to the relation of the rabbit and the moon in Chinese folklore.
The other beast on the reels is rather more ferocious – a traditional Chinese dragon which was commemorated for its supposed role in bringing rainfall to the year's crops.
Peaceful Celebrations
Visually speaking, this slot machine ticks all of the boxes for an orientally themed game. The colour scheme is imbued with reds, golds and blacks while the background scene depicts a tranquil Asian-style garden by night. That said, the symbols are a little bit simple in design, showing cartoon-like portrayals of the various elements of the festival.
Harvest These Wins
As far as the gameplay is concerned, punters might just find their own cause for celebration. That is because the reels offer up to 25 paylines to play with, which presents a fairly decent number of opportunities to line up some winning combinations. All players need to do is find a series of matching icons from the paytable below to win a line bet multiplier prize:
The range of bets per line available to choose from is as follows: 0.03, 0.05, 0.10, 0.20, 0.50, 0.75, 1.00, 1.50, 2.00 and 3.00 credits.
So, the lowest possible bet that a player can place with all lines active is 0.75 credits while the biggest bet that can be wagered is a whopping 75.00 coins. This presents a good scope for players with any budget.
Simple Bonus Pleasures
This Booming Games slot machine keeps it relatively straightforward when it comes to the bonus features, at least as far as 5-reel video slots go. As such, punters will be able to rely on a couple of simple gameplay elements to help them boost their wins in the right direction.
First of all, there is a wild symbol – depicted by the girl in ceremonial dress. This icon is special because it helps players to make winning sequences by replacing any normal paying icon on a payline. Not only does it do this, but it will also double the value of the win for extra potential returns.
The other bonus feature is triggered by the scatter symbol – portrayed as the mooncake symbol. This scatter icon will multiply the total bet by 3x, 5x, 10x and 100x whenever two or more appear in any position on the reels. What's more, a round of 10 free spins will be triggered by finding three or more mooncake scatters, allowing spinners to rack up some valuable prizes without having to part with a penny.
Plenty of Wins to Go Round
Havest Fest is far from being the most extravagant or exciting of themed slot machines, and it does lack a bit of uniqueness when it comes to the bonus gameplay elements. Nevertheless, the reels are perfectly nice to behold, as is the prospect of a 10,000x line bet jackpot!
