A game with a Chinese name is obviously going to have a very Chinese theme, and that’s exactly what Nian Nian You Yu has. The words are actually said as part of Spring Festival Customs in China, and when translated into English, they simply mean, “May every year end with ample surplus” – basically wishing good stocks of food. Therefore, the reels are filled with food items found in China during the Spring Festival season, as well as a Chinese dragon, cherry blossom and other such thematic icons.
The game itself is played on five reels and three rows, and there are nine paylines included in the game as well. The lines are customisable, and the coin value can be altered between R0.01 and R125.00 per line. This offers up the opportunity to place a maximum wager of R1,125 per spin across the full nine lines. Each spin of the reels will provide you with an authentic sounding Chinese ditty.
Nian Nian You Yu Slot Specialities
As the Chinese word for spring rhymes with fish, it’s customary to eat fish during the Spring Festival. Therefore, the fish symbol in this game represents the wild icon. This will substitute for any other symbol on the reels, except scatters.
Speaking of scatters, these are represented by a selection of Chinese symbols, and three or more of these appearing anywhere on the reels will result in a total bet multiplier of up to 100 times.
The dragon jackpot included in the game can be triggered at any time during the main game and guarantees you a progressive jackpot win. Simply spin the provided wheel of fortune and match up three identically coloured dragon symbols to win the corresponding jackpot amount.
Conclusion
While the Chinese theme in slot games has almost been done to death, Nian Nian You Yu provides a theme within a theme, that being the Spring Festival in China. This is what makes it stand out from many other China-themed games, and the addition of the progressive jackpot into the product makes it that much more interesting to play.
