If you are looking to get into the mood for the coming Chinese New Year, two online slot games from Playtech are highly recommended. They are live at all Playtech online casinos such as Omni Casino and Mansion Casino.

The first of the Oriental themed slot games is Wu Long. It is a 25 paylines slot game in the 5x3 format. Play with the audio enabled because the background music is pulsating. The thematic symbols awarding line payouts are the gate, girls with fans, drum, cymbals, lantern and firecrackers. The usual playing card icons have been used as the lowest paying symbols. The dragon is the scatter and the wild symbol. The animation of this symbol reminds you of the artistic Chinese dragon dancers. Three or more of the dragon symbols scattered anywhere on the reels triggers a bonus feature with 12 free spins. The feature comes with growing multipliers and retriggering free spins whenever dragon symbols appear on the reels. The explanations are a bit complex and you may just as well play on and keep reaping the rewards. The multiplier can grow up to 6 times. The increment with which it grows depends on the number of dragon symbols on the reels. Similarly you can get from 2 to 12 more free spins in a single spin depending on the number of dragon symbols on the reels. There is no limit on the number of free spins that you can win. However a spin without any dragon symbol will reduce the multiplier by 1x.

Zao Cai Jin Bao is the other Oriental themed online slot game. It is much simpler in features but is visually more appealing. It is a 9 paylines slot game, but pays both left to right and right to left. The background music is as appealing. Zao Cai Jin Bao scores in the detailed and ornate design of the symbols. The man is the wild symbol. It appears only on reels 2, 3 and 4 but doubles payouts when substituting. The high paying symbols are lion, dragon rooster and koi fish. The win animations are amazing. The low paying symbols are the playing card icons bur crafted in Oriental style. The gold ingot is the scatter symbol. It pays when it is left or right aligned and on consecutive reels. This Playtech slot game has no free spins feature or bonus game on the second screen. It is a high variance slot game suitable for players willing to take risks for higher gains.
