New Year, New Slots
Spring Festival is celebrated across modern day China as well as in other Asian countries to mark the coming of a new year according to the lunar-solar Chinese Calendar. Beginning on the night of the first new moon after the winter solstice, the festival continues for 15 days, consisting of copious feasts, explosive firework displays and a whole lot of traditional dancing.
Players of this Chunjie slot machine will get a taste for the party with a set of symbols that depict some iconic foods an symbols from the festival, including mandarin oranges, firecrackers, golden coins, golden sycee ornaments and a koi carp icon, traditionally associated with strength, prosperity and fortune in Eastern Asian cultures. One of the most striking images of the slot machine is the decorative dragon icon, used during the celebrations in a dance to scare away evil spirits!
In terms of the way it looks, Chunjie is a rather stunning 5-reel video slot. The reels are set within a traditional temple frame and all of the game screen space has been used up to ensure that the games symbols are big, bold and eye-catching. The game's animations are smooth and not too overbearing, meaning that players can keep it chill with the tranquil music as the wins begin to appear on the screen.
Win Big This New Year
This slot machine sits in the middle as far as the volatility is concerned, offering a relatively attractive range of prizes while ensuring that punters are kept on their toes with an unpredictable rate of wins. The largest standard prize is offered whenever five “Wild” icons align on a payline, returning 888x times the value of the line bet. After that, players will find that there are a number of 88x prizes for five matching oranges, golden sycees and koi carps. What's the obsession with the number 8? Well, 8 is considered to be the luckiest number in Chinese culture!
The number 8 theme continues when it comes to the paylines and players will find that they can play with up to 38 paylines in the game. With that in mind, spinners will need to choose their total bet value from a range of options starting at the minimum of 38 credits and going up to a maximum of 380 game credits. The total bet value is actually quite important in this slot machine since the biggest win of all is awarded as a 188x total bet multiplier whenever five dragon icons appear scattered in any reel position.
