We have seen many software developers become inspired by the Chinese New Year already in previous years. So, it comes as no major surprise to learn this year also inspired a new slot game release. This one comes from Genesis and was released as Year of the Dog on January 25th. It has a 5 x 4 layout to perk things up, and features 1,024 ways to win, which is always good news!
The wild appears as a Chinese icon and it stands in for most of the items you will find on those reels. The exception is the scatter, and yes, this is the cute little dog that is used to represent the New Year in the Chinese calendar. The scatter is the trigger for the free spins bonus, and there are four options to choose from here. There is also a chance to pick a Mystery Choice for those spins, in which case a random number of spins will be selected along with a random multiplier. Could that prove luckier than selecting something yourself?
The game screens look much as you would expect them to. This Chinese-themed slot has lots to enjoy, and benefits from the same controls we have come to expect from Genesis. It’s a great game too, and that alone should be reason enough to try it.
