And the great news is that these iconic symbols and many others can win you some big prizes, whilst you can also enjoy Prize Multipliers and Free Spins.
However, the best part of this game is you can win 1 of 4 Jackpots which are the Mini, Minor, Major and Maxi Jackpot – with the latter offering players the chance to win an unbelievable 8 Million dollars!
Colourful Celebrations
All Chinese New Year celebrations are colourful affairs, and the prize icons are packed full of colour. There are brightly coloured Dragon Piñatas to smash into at up to 100x your line-bet, whilst there are green and golden Koi carp entwining to make the Ying and Yang symbols at up to 125x.
Even if you're on a bad run you'll be able to make plenty of cash rise from the ashes with the beautiful gold, red and blue phoenix with up to 200x your line-bet, whilst the prizes for green and yellow dragons are even hotter at up to 500x your line-bet.

Prize lines can also benefit from Prize Multipliers of 2x, 3x or 5x if any of these should appear in your winning line.
Happy Happy Happy!
You'll certainly be in a happy mood when you start hitting the Free Spins Bonus or the Jackpots, and 3 or more Scattered Chinese Symbols on reels 1, 3 or 5 will trigger a random amount of free spins.
However, all Jackpot winners are also awarded randomly. When awarded you will be presented with red and gold envelopes which you must pick to reveal either a ruby, a sapphire, an emerald or an amethyst – which respectively represent the Maxi, Major, Minor and Mini Jackpots. You will then continue to pick envelopes until you have revealed 3 matching symbols – and this will then be your jackpot prize. During review the jackpots were worth: $320,000 Mini, $800,000 Minor, $1 Million Major and $8 Million Maxi.
