Different cultures celebrate New Years in different ways. For many Asian cultures, it involves a ton of fireworks and a big celebration, and that's what you'll find with the Lucky New Year slot by Pragmatic Play. It's a bright, exciting and fun title that gives players a lot of action with several features and a value-packed pay table. If you like a celebration and fireworks, then you'll enjoy the visual appeal that this game has to offer.

Format and Layout

In this game, you're going to have 25 paylines to bet on for each spin, and those paylines cannot be adjusted. This happens across five reels with three rows of symbols, but as you'll see in the bonus feature, the middle three reels can converge into one. This stretches the typical usage of the format quite a bit.

Betting in this title allows for up to 10 coins to be bet on each payline for a maximum wager of up to 250 coins per spin. Those actual coins can be picked from the $0.01 level up to the $0.50 level as well. The minimum wager per spin is $0.25 as a result, and you can also bet up to $125 per turn. With such an enormous range of bets and multiple options on how to narrow things down to the bet size you want, the wager selection in this game is pretty good.

Wild Golden Dog Symbol

You'll notice that there is a golden dog symbol on the reels, and you'll notice that it can show up anywhere on the game board. This is the wild symbol, and it's responsible for helping you to get extra wins regardless of the combination it's a part of. However, it's also responsible for some pretty good payouts on its own.

For example, you can pick up a win worth 500x for five of the wild symbol on an activated payline. A win of half of that at the 250x level is yours for four of a kind, and you can pick up 25x for three of a kind as well. These wins assume that a larger payout couldn't be won on the same payline using those wilds to make a different combination because you can only get the one highest-paying prize for each individual payline.

Scatter Symbols and Free Spins

There's a scatter symbol with a green background and a lot of golden medallions on it, and that is the scatter. This scatter only appears on the first reel, the middle reel and the last reel. If you get all three of them on the screen at once, then you'll get an instant payout worth the size of your bet, which basically amounts to you getting that spin for free.

However, you'll also be rewarded with five free spins. During those spins, you'll get a giant symbol on the middle three reels that will give you better chances at bigger payouts since you'll only need to line up two symbols for four-of-a-kind wins and three symbols for five-of-a-kind payouts. This also increases your chances of multi-line wins for multiple payouts on the same spin.

The Money Symbol

If you get the lantern money symbol on the reels, you'll have a chance to play for a jackpot. Six or more on the reels puts you in a position where you can play with respins to get even more on the reels. Get enough, and you'll pick up one of the mini or major jackpots. However, if you get the entire screen full of them, you'll be awarded the mega jackpot instead.

Wins and Symbol Set

The golden dragon on the blue background is worth 500x for five of a kind, and it has the same payouts as the wild above. Things drop down a little to 400x for five of the firecrackers symbol. Players can earn 300x for five of the drums or 200x for five of the oranges as well.

The red A, green K, purple Q and blue J all get players 50x for five of a kind. This pay table is especially balanced, and when you take into consideration the value you get from the bonus feature and jackpots, the overall volatility is right in the middle of the overall range that you see in the industry as a whole.

Overview

Lucky New Year is a slot by Pragmatic Play that puts a different spin on an Asian theme. The fireworks constantly going off in the background are a lot of fun and build plenty of excitement for the game. You can also earn some strong prizes thanks to the three different jackpots available in this slot as well. The graphics aren't the best, but they're average at the absolute worst you could rate them, and the gameplay gives players a lot to look forward to.
