Play Chinese Zodiac for Free

The game screen opens to reveal a dragon on the left of the reels, a brown patterned background, 50 paylines displayed at the side of the reels and all the cute symbols on the reels themselves, each related to a Chinese zodiac animal. You can see rats, tigers, rabbits and oxes in the game with some fun sound effects to add to the atmosphere.

Chinese Zodiac has 5 reels with the 4 rows of symbols. This layout is quite individual as usually there are only 3 rows of icons on the reels. With 4 rows this adds to your winning chances as it is more likely you will hit a winning combination.

You need to choose your bet by clicking the blue up and down arrows to alter your coin size, and then select the up and down arrows next to the ‘multiples’ box to determine your overall stake. The minimum bet per spin is 50 credits and your maximum bet per spin is 500 credits.

There are some other options to personalise your gameplay in Chinese Zodiac. Firstly, you can chose to play automatic spins to make life easier spinning the reels. If you like to play big, you can also choose ‘max bet’ to place your bets without having to choose your coin size every time.

You can also toggle the music on and off from the musical note symbol in the top right, while opening the question mark button will display the paytable with all your potential payouts.

The top symbol in regular play is the rat icon, which can pay up to 1000 credits for 5 symbols together. The next symbols to look for are the ox and tiger, which both pays up to 500 credits each.

Then comes the rabbit and the snake, which both pay up to 200 credits for 5 matching symbols. There are also some high card symbols to award the lower payout with an Ace giving you up to 150 credits and a 10 card awarding up to 100 credits.

The pig is the scatter symbol in this game and can award free spins if you hit at least 2 together on the screen. You can win 10 free spins for 2 symbols, 15 free spins for 4 symbols and a maximum of 20 free spins for 5 scatters together.

There is also wild symbol which can substitute for the other symbols in the game except the scatter, to award more possible wins. The wild can appear on the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th reels only and if it appears during the free spins round, it will stick to the reel for the remainder of the free spins to substitute and award some potentially massive payouts.

Chinese Zodiac is similar to some of the other slots from Proprietary Games with its cute animal theme and cartoon graphics. This slot has 50 paylines which is a good number for those looking for plenty of regular payouts, while the sticky wilds during the free spins round is certainly the best part of the game to look out for as this can award some huge payouts thanks to the many wild winning opportunities.

The free spins can hit regularly due to players only needing 2 scatters to trigger this round. All in all Chinese Zodiac is a good choice for fans of Proprietary Games slot machines, animal themes and a Chinese-inspired atmosphere.
