Special Features
The theme of the game is centered around Chinese horoscopes and the design and elements of the game resonate with it. The symbols used in the game also align with its theme. The symbols used in the game fall into two value grids. The high value grid consists of symbols such as those of a dragon, a turtle, a tiger, a phoenix bird and the emperor. On the low value grid you will find symbols of five playing card symbols.
To get rewarded in the base game, you will need to land a matching combination of symbols on the reels. The reward for landing a winning combination will depend on the value assigned to the symbols involved in the combo.
Playing card symbols will reward you with anywhere from 1x to 0.50x the value of the line stake for landing a matching combination while turtle symbols will reward you with 2.5x the value of your bet for landing a combination of five. Tiger symbols offer rewards up to 5x the line stake while dragon symbols offer up to 10x the value of the line bet.
As you move up the value grid, you will find symbols of the phoenix and emperor. The former offers up to 15x the line bet for landing a matching combination while the latter offers up to 25x the value of the line stake for a matching combination of five.
An interesting dynamic plays out when it comes to the wild symbol of the game. Before the commencement of the game, you have the chance to choose one of twelve to serve as wild. Some of the symbols you can choose from include that of a pig, dog, goat, rabbit and mice.
The game also features a unique bonus feature in the form of a board game that rewards you with a fortune cookie each time you win a prize. Each fortune cookie you get will unveil a number (that ranges from 0 to 6). The number unveiled signifies the number of steps that separates you from entering the Astral Race Track. Along the path, you will find bonuses which are triggered if you land on them.
