Slot Review: Happy New Year

What’s that you say? The New Year is already pretty broken-in, and it’s untimely for us to be reviewing a slot game called “Happy New Year?” On the contrary! This punter is a testament to the attraction of diversity and multiculturalism. It celebrates the Chinese (or Lunar) New Year, which will be celebrated this year on the 26th of January. This date is a major celebration in many homes across Asia, as adults clean their houses thoroughly to sweep out bad luck, and children are showered with little red envelopes of lucky money!

Maybe you’ll win some lucky money of your own on this three-reel, five-payline slot machine game from Microgaming. Happy New Year isn’t the most visually-attraction slot game that this major software provider has ever produced, but it has a comprehensive theme that will attract many players looking for something new. Moreover, it has a HUGE jackpot – twenty-four hundred coins, or as much as sixty thousand dollars! Coin values range from one dollar to twenty-five dollars with max coins of five, so this is not a game for the faint of heart or light of wallet!

The background of this slot is a very appropriate crimson, given that red is considered a very fortunate shade. The Chinese character for “Happy New Year” is prominently featured on the reels as the wild and multiplier symbol, along with poppers (thought to ward off evil creatures) and pretty paper fans. Whether or not you will be celebrating this traditional and very fun holiday, we bet that you will enjoy Happy New Year!
