The Lucky Zodiac slot game from software provider Microgaming takes on the Chinese zodiac with 5 reels and 20 paylines. There’s a free spins round, multipliers and a big 40,000 coin jackpot to play for.

Theme

According to Chinese tradition, each year is represented by an animal from the zodiac and there are 12 of these animals, which rotate every 12 years. Bafflingly, the only animal that appears on the reels in this slot game is a ram, and instead of the 12 traditional animals you’ll find Chinese symbols such as a fan, firecracker, blue vase, lantern and lotus flower along with high card symbols. The red and gold theme has been overdone when it comes to Chinese themed games and there’s nothing very traditional about the music or sound effects. I expected more from a theme, which has so much history but could have been so easily modernised.

How To Play

The Lucky Zodiac logo symbol in is the wild in this game and it can take the place of any other symbol except the scatter in order to complete potential winning combinations. The firecracker is the scatter and finding at least 3 of these will trigger the free spins game.You’ll want to keep an eye out for the highest paying symbol in this game and the firecracker is the one to watch, as you’ll be rewarded with a huge jackpot of 40,000 coins for finding 5 of these on the reels. The second highest paying symbol is the Lucky Zodiac logo symbol and you’ll win 30,000 coins for finding 5.

Firecracking Free Spins

Finding 3 or more scatters will reward you with 12 free spins and all wins during the free spins round will be subject to a 7x multiplier. You’re also able to re-trigger the free spins to get another 12 spins while playing. During this round, the white ram acts as a 2nd wild in order to help you on your way to larger wins. It can substitute for all other symbols with the exception of the scatter to complete winning symbol combinations.
