New Year Happiness

No matter how you call it – Spring Festival, Lunar New Year or Chinese New Year, it’s a very special event because of two reasons. First, it’s the most important holiday for the most numerous people in the world…

…and for the rest of us an extension of the festive atmosphere which means many slots inspired by this unique holiday. 

This time, RubyPlay brings us the New Year Happiness slot that features 5 reels, 4 rows, and 50 paylines. 

Dressed in classic Chinese slot outfit, the title is packed with top-notch cosmetics and some interesting features. 

Shall we check together what is this all about? 

Theme and Symbols

One of the hallmarks of RubyPlay’s work is the top-quality graphics. Over the years they have designed truly amazing slots and strived to push boundaries when it comes to visuals…

…and guess what? 

New Year Happiness is no exception. As we are used to, gold and red are the main colors on the grid, and since 2020 is the Year of the Rat, get ready to enjoy the huge treasure strewn across the screen. 

The list of regular symbols includes low paying royals (a-10), wallets, paper lanterns, boys with golden fish and a golden dragon. The most rewarding is the golden rat symbol that offers 1,5x bet for 5 of a kind landed. 

Golden coins with red ribbons are the wilds. 

Betting Options

New Year Happiness is played on a regular 5x4 grid with 50 fixed paylines. For a single spin, you’ll have to pay between 0.2 and 30 coins per strike, which is definitely not the widest betting range out there. 

On the positive side: 

This release has medium-high volatility followed by the RTP of 96.46% which means that wins are going to be more frequent just to keep you engaged. 

UI wise, you’ll have turbo and autoplay options through which you can adjust the flow of the game according to your personal preferences. 

Features

Wild/Wild Collection Feature

Besides its standard role, wild will pay here and for 5 of a kind landed you’ll get 1.5x bet. Every single wild symbol that you land is going to be saved in the pot place above 3^rd reel and this is called Wild Collection Feature.

The number of wilds collected is saved, so if you change your bet or leave the game, your wilds will be waiting for you. 

Super Spin

This feature can be randomly triggered at the beginning of any spin and the number of wilds collected in the pot will be thrown at the grid.

It’s important to keep in mind that if a wild symbol (from a regular spin) lands on the existing wild symbol (from a super spin), one of the following prizes will be added: 

∙ 0,5x bet – for a first time;

∙ 1x bet – for a second time;

∙ 5x bet – for a third time; 

∙ Wheel Bonus – for a fourth time; 

Wheel Bonus

We’ve already explained the triggering of this feature, let’s check the rewards. You can get one of 4 available jackpots: 

∙ mini – 25x bet;

∙ Minor – 50x bet;

∙ Major – 200x bet; 

∙ Grand – 5000x bet; 

Conclusion

New Year Happiness is a great looking title which doesn’t surprise us at all. As we said, this provider is a master of slot designing and their releases are always worth checking out.

The only drawback for high-rollers could be that narrow betting range, but we think that they’ll handle it with super spins, 4 jackpots and tasty wild collection feature.
