Animal Antics
Anyone familiar with Chinese New Year culture knows that each year is assigned an animal. The game takes full advantage of this culture, using charming animals to populate its reels, each of which is straight out of a Disney animated movie in terms of style.
The most valuable standard symbol in the game is the rat, who looks more then a little sneaky. He will pay an enormous amount if matched the maximum of five times, and a more modest amount when matched the minimum of three times. Next of the list, in terms of value, is the bull, followed by the adorable rabbit, the snake, the horse, the goat, the chicken, the dog, and the pig.
The pig, sadly, although seeming to be a very happy character, got the short end of the stick and came up as the least valuable symbol. In order to really take advantage and earn some money in Chinese New Year one must look towards the bonus symbols.
