Perhaps a better question would be, who is he? That’s because Gong Xi Fa Cai is a famous character who is associated with the Chinese New Year. That’s why this game was released in January, to coincide with this major event in the Chinese calendar.
But will it be one of the better attempts to capture this event on the reels? Let’s find out.
Reels and paylines in play
The game has five reels and features 50 paylines.
How much can you bet on the game?
The bet is played according to the 50-line format plus the special feature. This means the minimum bet is 75 coins. Your coin value goes from 1 to 10 with each spin.
Does Gong Xi Fa Cai have any more powerful symbols?
The wild is labeled like this so it’s easy to see. There is also another icon that looks like a badge with a Chinese symbol in the middle. This is your scatter in this game.
You might also see multiplier symbols appearing on the reels. These can be worth 2x, 3x or 5x. If one of these symbols appears as part of a winning line, you will multiply the relevant line prize by the amount shown. The multipliers only appear on the first reel and not on any others, and they are shown in the corner of some of the higher-paying symbols.
Does the game have a bonus feature or two?
If you find a scatter as described above on each of reels one, three and five, you’ll get through to the free spins round where you will play eight free spins. We say ‘as described above’ because there is a different scatter in play during those free spins. This looks similar to the previous one, but it retriggers your free spins if it appears on the odd-numbered reels during the initial set of spins.
There is also a dynamic symbol replacement feature, which is triggered on any of reels two, three, four and five. The symbols affected can change into one of four other symbols at the beginning of a spin in the base game.
