Bounding Luck Slots
According to the Chinese zodiac, 2023 is the year of the rabbit. It's bound to hold tons of luck and good fortune for us all allegedly, and whether or not that's true is still to be determined. Regardless, this BetSoft slot is gorgeous in every sense of the word. The music of the game is traditional Chinese music, along with the design and backdrop of the slot. It's played on a traditional paper scroll, and the scroll is framed by two swinging traditional Chinese lanterns. This game is played on five reels and four rows, and contains a total of 1,024 ways to win. This slot is a high volatility slot with a 5,440x jackpot.
The mechanics of the game are pretty simple. There is a control panel located at the bottom of the slot, and from there you can adjust most settings within this game. You can adjust the bet using the plus and minus symbols down there. There is also an information button that pulls up a grid with basic game info if you need instructions or what to look at the specifics of the pay table.
Symbols
The highest paying regular symbol is the lucky bunny symbol, who is carrying a golden pouch and also wears a red vest. He's an adorable little symbol and really makes a statement. The second highest paying regular symbol is the gold symbol, followed by the traditional Chinese lantern symbol. The next two highest paying picture symbols are the firework symbol and the envelope symbol. This game hosts a total of 11 different symbols. The low paying symbols are the A, J, K, Q, 9 and 10 symbols. These low paying symbols can reward you up to 1.2x your bet for five, while the high paying symbols pay out more lucratively. The special symbols are the wave wilds, and the coin scatters. The wave wilds can operate as a substitute for any of the pay symbols, and these symbols appear on the middle three reels. The coin scatters will trigger the free spins features.
Special Features
The scatter symbols will trigger the free spins when you land 3 to 5 of these symbols. This will also reward you with an instant payout, and you'll win 8 to 20 free spins. You can also retrigger symbols this way. The wild waves operate as multiplier wilds during free spin rounds, and will double or triple your win. If more multiplier wilds are involved in a single win, their win multipliers will multiply each other. You can also collect golden rabbit symbols for Symbol Upgrades while the free spin rounds are active. When you collect four golden rabbit symbols, they'll turn all golden amulet symbols into rabbit symbols.
If at some point you wish to purchase free spins rather than waiting for coin scatters to appear on the board, you can use the buy feature. You can purchase free spins that way, and you'll be rewarded 68x your bet for eight free spins. If you buy a set of 20 free spins, you'll need to increase your sum by 205x your bet.
Summary
Stylistically, this game just glittered with charisma and character. Every symbol looked great, and the mechanics were straightforward. The actual special bonuses were excellent as well, and I love any game with a great symbol upgrade feature. Overall, I give this slot a 10 out of 10!
