Monopoly Lunar New Year Slot Review

Monopoly Lunar New Year Slot RTP, Details & Wager Limits

The action in the Monopoly Lunar New Year slot game is played out on 5 reels initially, but that can be expanded during one of the free spins rounds. It’s also arguably the best feature for the chance to land the max win with 7,776 ways to win on offer. To land a winning combination, simply land 3 or more symbols adjacent to each other and beginning from the leftmost reel.

Stakes are quite unique here and range from a low 22p to £20.88 per spin as a maximum. The reason why 88p is added to the maximum stake is that because it symbolises good luck and fortune in Chinese culture. Simply select the coins icon on the right to adjust your stake.

The Monopoly Lunar New Year RTP is 95.95%, which is pretty spot-on in terms of the average payout for an online slot. Some games are higher and some are lower, so you get the best of both worlds here with a mixture of bigger and smaller wins.

The maximum win here is 4,000 x your total stake. This might not be as high as some games from other providers, but the medium variance does give players more chance to land a bigger winner than if it was a highly volatile slot for example.

Theme – celebrate the New Year in style

Branded WMS slots usually come with tons of appeal and the Monopoly Lunar New Year slot game is no different. The visuals are great, bold, and full of colour. Couple that with an appealing soundtrack dedicated to Asian percussion and you have a fun slot that just gets better once you dive into the bonus features.

Red is a dominant colour here as it’s meant to be lucky, and the reels are filled with colour from A-J royals as well as fruit baskets, gifts, and toys to name a few. Mr Monopoly is the most lucrative symbol, paying 1.25, 2 and 7 x your total stake for 3, 4, and 5 on a payline respectively.

They’re not the highest paying symbols compared to other slots, which is one of the only negatives I’d have about this slot. With that in mind, the bigger wins will come during the bonus features.

There’s also a Wild symbol that appears on reels 2, 3, and 4 only. This substitutes for all symbols except the Lunar Coin, Cresent Moon, and Full Moon symbols.

Monopoly Lunar New Year Mobile

The Asian instruments and colourful visuals work superbly on the Monopoly Lunar New Year mobile slot. Everything works well on smaller screens and it can be enjoyed as much, if not arguably better, than desktops.

Monopoly Lunar New Year Bonus Features

With 6 bonus features available, the Monopoly Lunar New Year slot comes with plenty of variety. Free spins, expanding reels, chest prizes, and a jackpot feature are just some of the bonuses players can look forward to. Let’s expand on them all for you to give you a better understanding of each feature.

Any Way Pays feature

During the base game or bonus rounds, winning combinations may contain just 1 symbol from each adjacent reel, starting from the leftmost reel. You don’t necessarily need to have symbols line up on specific lines.

The same symbols or their substitutes on a single reel aren’t part of the same winning combination, but this can create separate winning combinations. It’s also important to note that all Any Way payouts are multiplied by the bet multiplier

Lunar Coin and Chests feature

Chest prizes appear at the top of the reels and will change every spin. It displays at the top of reels 1, 3, and 5 and can show the following bonuses:

• Multiplier
• Lunar Chest Free Spins
• Expanding Reels Free Spins
• Jackpot Feature

During the base game, Lunar Chests pay from 3x to 188x, and in the Lunar Free Spins feature, they pay from 2x to 188x.

A Lunar Coin will reveal a multiplier or a Crescent Moon symbol if it lands on any of the reels during the base game or this feature. If a Token Value multiplier is revealed then that amount is awarded to you.

The coins will pay from 1.5x to 10x in the base game. During the Lunar Free Spins, they will pay from 0.5x to 10x.

If a Crescent Moon symbol appears on reels 1, 3 or 5, you will win the Chest that is showing above that reel. If this symbol appears on reels 2 or 4, though, you will win nothing and play continues.

Expanding Reels Free Spins feature

This feature is triggered when a Crescent Moon symbol lands on the same reel as an Expand Feature Chest in the base game. You’re initially awarded 8 Free Spins.

The reels may expand from the usual 3×5 to either 4×5, 5×5 or 6×5, which offers the potential for much bigger wins.

By landing coins during the bonus round, you can enjoy additional free spins up to a maximum of 50. No extra free spins are awarded after the limit of 50 has been reached.

There is a maximum of 7,776 ways to win during this feature, which opens up the opportunity to land bigger winning combinations.

Lunar Chest Free Spins feature

Land a Crescent Moon symbol on the same reel as a Lunar Feature Chest in the base game to trigger the Lunar Chest Free Spins feature. 8 Free Spins are awarded and the only symbol during this bonus round is the coin, which can give the following awards:

• Token Value Multipliers
• 1 Chest
• 5 Chests
• Extra Spins

Although they can show many different prizes during the base game, Chests will only show multipliers during this feature. All of the coins and chests with multipliers on them will be added up and awarded at the end of the feature.

Much like the Expanding Reels Free Spins feature, players can get up to an additional 50 Free Spins but no more.

If a Crescent Moon lands during this feature, the chest on the same reel is awarded. A Full Moon wins all 5 chests above the reels, which can turn out to be very lucrative.

Jackpot feature

If a Crescent Moon symbol lands on the same reel as a Jackpot Feature Chest, the Jackpot Feature is triggered. This is one of the most anticipated features in the Monopoly Lunar New Year slot as you could land the max win of 4,000 x your stake here.

The following jackpots are available to win:

• Mini
• Minor
• Major
• Grand

You will be shown 15 cards to begin with. The selected pick will reveal 1 or 2 cards, which will either be Property Cards or Upgrade Cards.

If you manage to reveal 3 Upgrade Cards before a jackpot is awarded, all jackpots are upgraded and the Grand Jackpot increases to a Double Grand Jackpot, which opens up the max win potential of 4,000x. You keep picking until 4 property cards in any group are uncovered and 1 of the 4 jackpots is awarded.

Red Envelope feature

During the base game, you may be awarded a red envelope randomly, which will contain a mystery prize. It states in the rules that wager from 22-62 credits will be given 888 credits. The prize will be 3,888 credits for all other bets above that range.

Monopoly Lunar New Year Review Summary – an Asian cracker

The Monopoly Lunar New Year slot game has all the makings of another classic in this branded series. Although the maximum win isn’t as high as other slots, the various bonus features are exciting enough to keep players coming back for more.

It’s a really simple slot to get to grips with, and if you’re a fan of Asian culture then you will no doubt enjoy all aspects of it from the gameplay and bonus features to the colourful interface and sharp HD graphics.

Looking for another Monopoly slot with bigger potential returns? I’d recommend Big Time Gaming’s Monopoly Megaways, which has 117,649 ways to win with a max win of 14,700 x your stake.
