Lucky New Year is a video slot game developed by Pragmatic Play, featuring a Chinese New Year theme with bright colors and traditional symbols. The game is played on a 5x3 reel set and offers 25 paylines to win. The game includes various symbols that are associated with Chinese New Year, such as dragons, fireworks, and lanterns. The most valuable symbol is the wild, represented by the dog, which can substitute for any other symbol except the scatter and the bonus symbols. The game includes several special features to keep things interesting. The first is the Money Respin feature, which is triggered by landing six or more money symbols on the reels. The player is then awarded three respins, during which only the reels with the triggering symbols will spin, increasing the chances of landing more money symbols. Each new symbol that lands resets the respin counter to three, potentially leading to big payouts.

The game also includes a Free Spins feature, which is triggered by landing three scatter symbols on the reels. The player is then awarded five free spins, during which the middle reels (2, 3, and 4) spin together to form a giant symbol, potentially leading to big payouts. Finally, the game includes a Dragon Dance feature, which is triggered by landing three bonus symbols on the reels. The player then selects one of three dragons, which reveals a random multiplier that is applied to the total bet. Overall, Lucky New Year is an exciting and visually stunning game with plenty of opportunities for big wins and entertaining bonus features. The Chinese New Year theme provides a unique and immersive experience that is sure to appeal to a wide range of players.
